2nd Week of June

 Here are some highlights from the 2nd week of June.

Pretty flowers in bloom around the yard.

Hudson's silly sleeping positions.  Carter and Hudson playing in the sandbox.

Hudson singing and playing in the bathtub.

Carter and Nyles had swim lessons this week.

They're working hard and doing great!

Nyles tooth was hurting him.  It looked like his adult tooth was coming in.  We took him to the dentist who took an x-ray.  His other tooth was coming in, but there was also an infection starting between his tooth that had a cap on it and the new one.  The dentist ended up removing the tooth w/ a cap on it and the one next to it.  Thankfully we caught it in time before the infection really got bad and it cleared up on it's own  

Nyles w/ his 2 teeth that were pulled.  Hudson painting.  Playing at a school park.

Cute Carter and Nyles asleep.

Steve reading the boys a story before bedtime.  Hudson jumping outside on the trampoline.

After taking Nyles and Carter to martial arts, we took Hudson to the school to play on the playground.  He's going to go to preschool in the Fall and is getting excited to go!

Friday evening Nyles and Carter had a martial arts physical test.  They had to do 500 kicks, 50 push ups and 50 sit-ups, at the studio.  While they were doing their test, I took Hudson to the park playground.

They then came over the park and ran a mile.  Carter ran it in 10 minutes 30 seconds, and Nyles did it in 11 minutes 9 seconds!  They both did awesome, especially since their legs were tired from just doing 500 kicks.  Hudson watched them and ate 2 suckers!

After they were done w/ their tests, we hurried home to go to the temple to do sealings w/ Dave and Joann.  Rob came over to sit w/ the boys.  When we got home we found out that Hudson pooped, so Nyles cleaned it up.  And shortly after Carter started getting a migraine and was throwing up.  Nyles also helped Carter get some Ibuprofen and something to eat w/ it.  Ironically this happened when Rob locked his keys in his truck, and his dad came to give him another set of keys so he stepped outside.  He then worked to get them both to bed!  Nyles is such a BIG help to his younger brothers.  We really appreciate him and love him!

Nyles and Carter running, then getting some water after they were done.  Great job!

Joann, Dave, Steve and I at the Draper temple after doing a sealing session.

Saturday morning Steve volunteered to sit at the Tabernacle from 3-6am along w/ another guy from our ward.  Our stake was in charge of security that day.  The Tabernacle is getting moved around to different places so everyone can go through it.  Its a replica of the Old Testament Tabernacle.  He said it got pretty cold but uneventful thankfully.  When he got back, Hudson was up, so he got up w/ him and let me sleep.  Then we switched and I let him sleep.

While Steve was sleeping, Carter and I made a tie dye shirt, we cleaned out both cars, then started to get ready to switch the beds in the boy's rooms.  We decided to bring up the queen bed from downstairs for Nyles, then moved his full bed into Carter's room, and the other bunk bed together in Hudson's room.  It took most of the day to switch everything over, but they all like their "new" beds now :)

Sunday was Father's Day.  I'm so thankful for Steve and the wonderful father he is to our 3 boys.  We're also grateful for our amazing fathers and grandfathers in our lives and their examples.  We are so blessed!

Steve w/ the boys on Father's Day.  The boys made Steve cards at home and at church.  Steve also spatchcocked a turkey in the smoker.  It was delicious!  We had Rose and Pauline's family over for dinner as well.  It was great to visit.

Great quotes.
