"All better now!"

As we were waiting in the doctor's office yesterday Avery kept saying, "Mom, what da heck...you have hole in yo knee!" Haha. I love the things toddlers say.

This was the follow up with the orthopedic surgeon. She was really looking forward to her appointment with her "good doctor." Ever since her surgery she kept saying "the good doctor helpa me!" And every time we drive past Riverton hospital she says the same thing.

Her elbow has healed up great since the surgery and getting the cast off, and she now has the ok to jump on the tramp again! She was pretty scared but wanted to try, and slowly worked up the courage to get on it yesterday. #facingfears #nomorebrokenbonesplease #terrifictwos

Back to school for the big kids!

The kids went back to school this week!
Halle is now a 2nd grader and Luke is a 4th grader!
Halle has been planning her outfit for days, especially the choker necklace which are very in style right now (just like when I was in Middle school!).
Luke was happier than the look on his face shows...at least once he got there and saw his friends :).
Both kids were pretty reluctant to go back and dreading summer being over, but they both love their teachers and have been happy about going since the first day.
As for mom, I'm ready to get back to routines and earlier bedtimes but not ready for them to be gone all day! Summer went too quick!










The twins had fun saying bye to the kids at the school and then we stayed and played awhile on the fun big kid playground.





These two are going to miss Luke and Halle being gone all day! They have all had so much fun together this summer! Luke and Halle have been so cute to include Asher and Avery in playing with them this summer, whether it's playing make believe games down in the basement, or playing outside, or playing at the park or museum or water park (or whatever other activity we went to do). I am so grateful for these kids and so happy they all get along so great and take care of each other! And I'm sure proud of Luke and Halle and what kind older siblings they are!

Back to school!

These twinners are getting too big! It's been fun having more time with them now that the big kids are back in school.



Here they are swinging. Asher would swing all day if we let him. And only mommy can push him in the swing. No one else! They can't even touch him or he gets super mad.

Avery is still pretty scared of the swing but she will now sit on this one and let me push her if it's so soft and slow she's barely moving. And if you see her lately, she'll most likely have pink or red smeared all over her mouth, haha. "My lips so pretty, mom!" Her and Halle both love lipstick!
