Rite of passage
Hyrum passed a rite of passage in the Shakespear home today.
That's right. He killed his first fly & I'm so proud. ;-) With two babes to hold, wipe up after, feed & change I'm happy to pass on the responsibilities to someone else. It reminds me of the times Jeremy & I talk about how many kids we want. One per large-ish chore around the house of course. Although fly killing isn't one of the large chores, it's a start. Fly swatting today, scrubbing toilets tomorrow perhaps?!
Over Labor Day Joel, Brooke, Cole & Kylie came up from TX to play! We love cousin time!!! Lovin' Kylie's pink ATV & the tough girl pose.
Hyrum: I wish Cole & Kylie were a part of our family
Me: But they are Bud!
Hyrum: No, I want them to live in OUR house
Awww....
We also had a family picnic
And the fighting begins! At least whoever loses isn't a poor sport but just finds something of equal interest to chew on.
Pretty girl
Jeremy took the big boys bowling
One night, due to my negligence with the laundry, we just had boy shirts & girl pants for pj's. They didn't seem to mind.
Lately Hunter wants me to tell him the same 3 stories I've made up about Chick Chicks running into a scary monster somewhere & at the last minute Lightning McQueen Dragon Style saves him! Even though he's heard them lots of times his eyes still get really big when the monster comes into the story & he puts his head on my shoulder until Chick Chicks has been saved. One day I described the monster as being really hairy with purple spots.
Hyrum: He must be just like Harry Potter!
Megan: (thinking, how do you know about Harry Potter) Like Harry Potter? What do you mean?
Hyrum: Well his first name is Harry so that must mean that he's reeeeally hairy!
Hyrum was using his etch a sketch & had filled the entire thing with crazy lines.
Me: Wow! What did you draw?
Hyrum: A road that goes to Seattle
Me: How have you heard about Seattle?
Hyrum: From that song on Daddy's iTouch
Water coloring has a made a popular entrance into our home this week. I can't believe we have never done this!
What could be in this closet?
AHHHHHH!!!

Your kids are so cute!!! I hope that the day will come when i will be able to see them all in person. I sure do miss seeing you. I think about the mission so often and what a great companion I had to train me. I could not have asked for a better friend than you for my first comp.
Love the pictures of your "family life"! Way to go with the flies, Hyrum. I also loved the battle over the sippy cup- Emma's eyebrows are knit in battle!! Cute little people.
Looks like you guys have been having lots of fun! Good job Hyrum killing the fly! Look at your twinners sitting up so well!! Isn't funny how kids come up with "forts" anywhere? I guess they are small enough to fit anywhere too! :)
