After receiving their inflatable dinos from G&G Damstra, they kept deflating them and then asking Jason or I to re-inflate them. I decided they would have to pump up their own dinosaurs if they were going to do that.
Cooper snuggling his bear Starwar.
The kids still really enjoy playing with their electric train. This was the first time Milo had seen it and he was a huge fan as well.
Tessa being silly with her brothers' snow boots.
Checking on our peach tree. They are not quite ready yet. Although that is not stopping the birds from pecking on them, despite the reflective tape.
Jason left Milo by himself on his blanket in the front room. When I went to check on him a few minutes later, I found he had managed to scoot off his blanket and toward the train tracks to check them out.
When he got caught, he gave me the most mischievous grin.
I was snuggling Milo while he slept one day and Cooper thought it seemed fun so he joined us on the chair. Next thing I knew I had Tessa's three girls on my lap too! I was buried in babies! Welcome to my life. Haha.
Yet more proof that Tessa indeed needs naps even though she is very much against them.
I couldn't resist taking this picture because, I mean, look at that face!
Milo was taking a nap and there was a pesky fly that kept landing on him. Tessa tried to catch him with a tissue to save her brother.
The boys were playing the guessing game and this was Bennett's rendition of me. Apparently I was sad because we were taking too long or something.
Jason introduced the boys to Donkey Kong recently and they are both hooked. I was laughing at Bennett playing because every time he tried to get his character to jump, he would lift up his leg. The higher the jump, the higher the leg would go. He plays video games the same way I do. Bahaha.
Cooper has been requesting long noodles lately so he can practice his fork-twirling.
#nailedit Bahaha
Our anniversary this year was super low-key. It landed on a Sunday so Jason taught his primary class while I taught sharing time. Then after church Jason cooked up this delicious meal for us. Happy 7 years to us!
My hair always looks awesome after the boys get a hold of it.
Bennett wanted to take a picture of his masterpiece. I cracked up when I saw that every inch of my head was covered.
I made this crinkly-taggie toy for Tessa when she was a baby because she loved tags so much. She wanted nothing to do with it. I pulled it back out for Milo a few days ago and it became the first toy he has played with for longer than 30 seconds. He LOVES it. Thank you, Milo, for validating my effort three years later.
Jason coaches the boys' soccer team. This was the first practice.
Because Cooper had his tonsils out eight days ago, he was not supposed to be running around yet. (He needs to wait 2 weeks.) So Cooper and Tessa watched on the sidelines with Milo and me. They were introduced to cattails.
Tessa came into my room one morning telling me about her new "trick".
"Mom! I can breath while I am holding my breath!"
Because Milo loved the crinkly toy so much, I decided to make him another one.
This time it was a dino. He approved of this one too. Yay!
Sarah sent me this picture of Cosie saying that she looked just like Tessa. So I sent this other picture back. I will let you be the judge as to whether they look related or not. ;)
Silly faces with my kids.
After all the other kids left, Milo decided he was quite comfortable and fell asleep.
Tessa still loves holding Milo all the time. She told me to take a video so she could tell me a few things.
Bennett asked to hold his brother next.
He looked so cute with bubbles in his mouth and his hands clasped together.
The kids have been eating a lot of yogurt Creamies lately. At least they are more healthy than normal popcicles. And they look so cute eating them. (The first time they had a Creamie I had them sit on the porch so they wouldn't drip all over the house. Now they think it's just the designated spot for popcicles so they sit here every. single. time.)
We went up to Brigham City one weekend and the kids had fun playing at the park while Jason tried out his dad's drone. Bennett stuck with Jason most of the time watching him instead of playing on the playground.

The boys can't eat raw dough or batter because of the eggs. Tessa loves to share beaters with me. :)
Milo was trying really hard to get the binky in his mouth by turning his head and opening his mouth. He was unsuccessful but somehow managed to get it on his nose instead. The shocked and confused look on his face made me laugh out loud.
My kids!
We love silly selfies. :) Milo is still learning.
Milo loves his bouncer so much that he jumps until he wipes himself out. We often find him asleep in there. It was also past his bedtime.
I love finding my kids reading books. The boys are excellent readers. Jason takes them to the library every few weeks to get new books.
Bennett
Walking home from school the kids insisted on picking these huge sunflowers.
