Update

Here's an update...

These two are cuddle buddies now and it's so cute.  Brody doesn't seem to like Luna as much as Chester but he tolerates her and doesn't hiss at her anymore!

The other night Tyce was sad he didn't get to go to scouts with his brothers so he got to do something special with daddy and he chose to sing primary songs with him, so sweet...

The other night I went in to check on Tyce and he was staring at his 1st grade class picture bawling because he misses his friends, school, and teachers so much.  Broke my heart!
This is how I show Parker I love him...
Tyce was grounded for making us miss the bus one day so he played with his stuffed animals the entire hour...
Driving out to Grandma Morrill's house for more family pictures!  I'll post them as soon as we get them back but I bet they'll be cute!
 Haha, Jack the lizard fast asleep on the couch...
Chester is getting SO long!!
Sunday after church Tyce came home, went straight to his room, and came out about half an hour later with these jars.  He learned about saving for missions, college, and fun in primary that day and he sure took it to heart!  That boy loves primary!
THEN...we had potatoes for dinner...and he only had to eat one bite but it was pure torture for this kid...


One night I went to check on him and he had fallen asleep holding his book...
 I put the book away, came back in to check on him about 15 minutes later, and he was still in this exact same position!  Haha tired boy!
Grandma had cataract surgery in both eyes so I drove her to and from.  The doctor said it was the worst case of cataracts he's seen in the United States!  Now, at 81, she is seeing better than ever!
Woke up to this one morning...
We got the kittens front de-clawed and spayed/neutered.  They recovered super fast and were SO happy to be home!



I subbed for my first time at the new school!  It was two days with a 5th grade class and super fun. During recess some of the girls made me this sweet card...

One night the boys were comparing muscles so, of course, I had to document it...

Chester hugging Brody, hahaha...
Jack has been reading like crazy the past week because he had a book report due end of the month.  Every night he would read until he fell asleep...
Chester cuddling on me...
After volunteering in Josh's class I had lunch with the boys and brought them donuts, here's Tyce and Bridger...
"Mommy see this crumb?  THAT'S how much I love Grandpa Barraclough, but I love you and Grandma a whole donut."  Hahaha, he loves to tease about not loving grandpa, he thinks he's hilarious...
Kittens watching the boys jump on the tramp...
Tyce,"mommy I feel like the KING OF ENGLAND in here!  Wait...kings DID take tubs right?"
My parents are finally in town!  First time since we moved here!  We met Linds and her kids at a park one morning, Emma insisted only grandma push her on the swing...

Chester has decided he loves Josh's paper tray!  He pulls it out, bites all the papers out, then sits in it happy as can be...



Luna's favorite place to hang out...
We had a late late night last night as Jackson finally finished his book project that was due TODAY!  He was a good sport about it though.  Here's Luna helping him out...
 The finished project!  He better get an A!!!

Morrill Family Pics and More

We got family pictures taken a while back with Parker's family.  Unfortunately, the photographer lost the first half of the pics we did but here are some of the cute ones from the second half...

Parker and his siblings...

All the grandkids...

The WHOLE Morrill clan!!!

These three are becoming best of friends!
A neighbor made us these signs so we can support our Cougs and Ducks on game days!  We have lots of ugly red U's around us so we had to add some beauty to the neighborhood  :)


                                       
Luna girl...


Daddy and Tyce cheering on their Nationals...

Parker and Christine played in a 2 on 2 grass volleyball tournament on Labor Day...








It was really fun to watch them play together and the boys loved cheering them on!
Parker was...pretty worn out afterwards...
A good place to hang out...
A cute love note from my Tycee...
Grandma and I went out to lunch at our favorite place, The Cheesecake Factory..
Josh worked so hard on his ship for school...
The boys have more homework than I'd like and so this is how we spend our afternoons...
Luckily they have the same homework so, between the three of us, we can usually figure it out...
Chester is getting so long!!!
Tyce had his first acting class last week.  They will be doing the play Beauty and the Beast and he is SO excited!  He's doing it with our neighbor friend Addy...
Daddy and Tyce reading Smoky (a 5th grade book)...
Rivalry day at school!  The boys sported as much blue as they could (Josh won a prize in his class for having the most blue on)...

Despite BYU's sad sad sad loss to Utah, they at least won the competition at the school!  There were more COUGAR fans than UTE fans at school!  Our neighborhood is pretty much halfway between the two schools so we are definitely a mixed bunch.  I took a pic at the bus stop...
Three kitties begging for table scraps...
Josh played goalie for the first time on Saturday...
And Jackson had his first lacrosse game...
Jackson earned a few minutes outside with daddy playing basketball while his brothers were in bed...


The other day I looked over at Jackson, diligently doing his homework like an angel, and he just looked SO old!!!  He is sure growing up and I'm loving the boy he is becoming.  He used to be my hardest, and now he is becoming so obedient, sensitive, fun, loving, and so smart!!!  Love my Jackson so much!!
