September!

Ok finally getting caught up on here!  Took Josh school clothes shopping, his FAVORITE day of the year (his words not mine).  

First we grabbed dinner at his favorite sub shop, Firehouse... 

 We shopped for like SIX hours because this kid is super picky about what he likes.  The sleeves are too short, it's too boxy, the pants are too loose around the calves, the neckline is weird...needless to say we had to go to a MILLION stores.  But I love the way he dresses he always looks so stinkin handsome and I'm glad he puts thought into what he wants so it's not a waste of my money. 

Twins and Bennett being weird...

 Cooper found a fun wig in the basement to play with...

 These two are just best of friends always cuddling or playing...

 HAHAHA, Parker's first attempt at making Key Lime Bars (turns out he didn't do enough eggs)...

 We got a new car!  I had decided I wanted something big enough so my long-legged boys and their long-legged friends can all fit comfortably so our friend Sean suggested an Expedition!  I had never had a Ford but started doing my research and decided that would be a perfect fit for our family.  It took a while to get the exact one I wanted but we finally found it!  2019 Platinum so it has all sorts of bells and whistles, massage seats, self-parking, ambient lighting, automatic running boards, and all sorts of cool stuff.  My favorite thing is just how COMFY it is!  I really don't ever mind having to drive anywhere now because I just crank up my heated massage seats and cruise! 

 It even fits perfectly in our garage! 

 Too bad Theo wasn't out here because that would have been so cute! 

 Tyce's turn for school clothes shopping!  He was super excited about his pizza roll for lunch...

 He never needs much because he gets so many hands me downs from his brothers but I always get him a few new things which he loves...

 Jackson's turn for school clothes shopping!   He is like me, wants to get in and out of these as quickly as possible.  The poor kid is SO tall and SO skinny it it super hard to find clothes for him that are long enough but skinny enough.  We had fun, him and I always end up laughing a LOT when we shop.  We had to go say hi to our favorite mannequin who, a few years ago, we had to undress because we needed the size he had on.  It didn't go so well, body parts falling off and whatnot, so he always makes us laugh when we see him at JC Penney. 

 So much time spent sitting in dressing rooms by the time I finished all three boys...

 Jack needed SO many things and gosh he's in the men's section in most stores now so it gets expensive!! 

 We sold the minivan!  Honestly, it was a sad day.  We got that car when we were pregnant with Tyce so it has been with us through a LOT.  I also love the conveniences that come with it, the sliding doors, the awesome trunk, good gas mileage, DVD players...ah the Routan. 

  Tyce had his Pinewood Derby!  Who knows what place he got, we're not quite as into it as a lot of other dad's but he still had fun...

The boys asked me to drive them and some friends to Classic for a few hours...

 More cuddling...

 Beautiful Saturday morning run before the sun comes up...

 Tyce and our carpool have joined a new swim team, it's USA so it's more competitive than his old one.  It's called HAT, Herriman Aquatic Team, and he's liking it so far.  It has been a bit disorganized but hoping it gets better. 

 I know, I'm obsessed but look at these two...

Bring on October!!!
