These kids make me laugh! I was cleaning out the closet and they just had to try everything on. Silly little ones.

Is this really happening?

 It's kind of surreal that the boys are old enough to be in school! It came fast and they couldn't have been more excited! We are proud of the good, big boys they have become!

The girls had to be in a picture

"We will take care of each other" Melt my heart

They are TOO BIG!

So excited for school!

 They both went right into the gate and didn't look back. Snif! 

 Playing before school started

 It was too hot while they were waiting

 Standing in line to go into class. So big!

 "Bye mom, I love you" while blowing kisses 

So glad they aren't too big to yell that to me.

My new wall

Mom took the kids to Target to get a prize and then took Em and I to Hobby Lobby to get us a prize too :) We picked out these movie posters because we both wanted theater type basements. Eventually we want to get movie posters for the other walls. As we were talking we decided it would be awesome to chevron the wall. It took a lot of time and measuring, or miss measuring, taping, and painting but I LOVE the way it turned out!!! My favorite room in my house now. Every time I walk past it I smile. Nerdy I know.

Pictures from my cell phone:

 We went to Tydon's first football scrimmage on Saturday! The boys loved watching him play! Way to go Ty!

 Me and my baby girls snuggling and watching Beauty and the Beast. They are getting big and so much better!

 The boys love playing with their friend Cade. His dad came to do some electrical work so he came along and then played the rest of the afternoon.

 Checking out all the bugs.

 Grandma went to put the girls down for a nap while we were helping Em paint. The girls did a better job and put her to sleep.

Em and Heath have been finishing their basement so we have been pitching in and painting late in to the night. We got a little crazy one night! 

Hogle Zoo with Harris's

Last week Whitney was in town so we met up and went to the zoo. Avri followed Lydia every where and loved having another playmate. The boys run from exhibit to exhibit still loving all the animals. Taylor was so excited that we finally saw the Otters! 

SL Bees

We had free tickets to the Bee's game on Saturday night so we talked Jalayne into going with us and having a good time. We got there late so the parking was crazy but we managed to get there and be in ok spots in the outfield on the grass. The kids ran around like crazy kids and we tried to keep them out of the way of others. Not sure much watching of the game was done. 

 Aunt J bought two buckets of popcorn and I don't think I've ever seen popcorn be devoured so fast! It was gone in no time at all.

#4 post of the night, scroll down for more :-)

What do you know? we are at the zoo again :-) This time we met up with Grandma Hatch, Elliott, Quinn, and Benji for the fun. 

 Where's Macall?

 Oh here she is.

 Getting sprayed by the elephant

 Grandma and all 7 of her grandkids. Emmeline decided not to come to the zoo at 4 days old.

 We love the Polar Bear

 Cheese

Once again, Macall is so scared of that darn elephant. The boys held her hand so that we could walk past it. Such great big brothers.

 Grandma took the kids on the carousel. Elliott was there too but I didn't get his picture in the collage. If you look close he is in the background of Braxton's picture :-) 

 Even though Grandma Hatch is here helping Kim with the new babe and the boys we decided to bring Quinn and Elliott home with us for the night.  These four boys love to play and I love to listen to the things they come up with. 

 We made home made pizzas! The kids didn't really want to do it but I made them anyways. In the end I think they had fun!

 As the pizza was cooking they informed me they were robbers and that they were going to steal old ladies purses. Watch out for these scary bandits!

 And the princess. She brought me this dress that Evelyn sent her from?? I can't remember. But she deemed it as her princess dress and was the fairest of them all. I can say that cause Macall was not playing princess :-)

 And now as I catch up on the blog the boys are all snug in their blankets with popcorn and Indiana. Could it get much better?
