Updates on Clifton -
I am really struggling with Clifton.  He is such a wonderful boy but sure likes to debate and tell others (mostly me) they are wrong.  He often thinks he is too cool to do things with us but won't do things alone.  I am praying a lot I can figure out how we can have a happy relationship instead of pulling my hair out.

Updates on McKay -
Has made such a sweet relationship with Stanley.  They play made up games together and enjoy each other.  It is so sweet to watch, too bad she has no interest in acting the same towards Clifton ;)

Updates on Stanley -
Started Pee Wee soccer and was is so very excited about playing.

Updates on Hazen -
First mohawk!

And we are at the stage where I am pretty much just a jungle gym to Hazen.

Had his 9 month check up and he is one healthy and happy boy.

We had the most beautiful weather all week!  We enjoyed getting outside and playing.

Park fun.

 Bubbles

Water fun.  Realized our swimming pool had a huge hole so we got a tub to play in instead.  Worked perfectly, but our new swimming pool is in the mail.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to be full of soccer for the next month.

 Coaching with wonderful ladies!

 Coaching fun kids and Stanley has lots of friends playing.

And super thankful for Misty for holding onto Hazen while I coach.

Friday we picked up cousin Sarah.  She is visiting during her college summer break and staying with us for the week.  The boys went camping with our wards Father Kid Campout.

Perfect weather, great friends, and lots of fun.
McKay wanted to stay and do a girls night instead of going camping.  She wanted to get dressed up, put on make up and do our hair and then go get fancy ice cream.  Such my Fancy Nancy!

She picked out our outfits, did our make up (thank goodness I only have natural colors) and helped style our hair.

 She also made sure Hazen had a bow too.

 All dolled up!

Sarah and I get her dolled up too.  Man she is beautiful!

When the boys got home we headed to a friends birthday party.

 He is my party animal!

A fun party.  I think Hazen ate all the watermelon.

Then Alex and I headed to the Sounders game while Sarah babysat.

We seriously had the best seats!  Front row and even a place to put my feet.  Happy Mother's Day to me.  And we won!!!!

Sarah had fun with the kiddos at home.  The did a drive in movie - made cars, ate pizza and watched Lego's 2.

Fun night for all.  Sarah is a champ and got them all in bed for us.

Sunday morning Alex headed to DC for work for the week.  I am sure glad to have Sarah this week and extra set of hands is always wonderful!

And it made up for Alex not being here for Mother's Day.

I sure do love being a mom to these crazies, life would be boring without all their energy and love.

We took Sarah to our waterfall, not quite like Hawaii's but still pretty.

Then we made flower cookies for Sunday Bakeday.

Hazen approved of the cookies and enjoyed licking the plate clean.  Ha I just love that boy!
