Life Lately

Tessa has been so helpful lately. She always wants to help with cleaning, cooking, everything.

Matt and Cody came into town so they could attend the Priesthood Session of General Conference. Al, Mel, and I went over to my parents' house Friday night so we could visit with them. The siblings went to breakfast Saturday morning too. It's always fun to see Matt and Cody!

On Sunday we went to Paul's parents' house so we could be there when Emilie opened her mission call. She will be serving in the Spain, Barcelona Mission. She's going to be an amazing missionary!

Rockwell had fun dressing up for Health and Safety week at school. There was a pjs day, crazy hair day, and crazy socks day. Friday was dress like a superhero day (we didn't participate), and Rockwell said a kid in his class dressed like a police officer. Rock told me that they're heroes because they save people. I thought that was awesome.

  

These two sure have fun with each other while Rockwell's at school. Damon copies everything Tessa does right now. It's pretty cute.

We played at Al's house this week. Tessa loves when she gets to play with Kenzie. She kept wanting me to watch them play, and kept saying, "She likes me Mom!" 

We went to lunch with my mom and sisters to celebrate Mel's and my birthdays. Damon looked so old holding his sandwich and eating it whole.

Rockwell started a basketball class this month. Wyatt's in the class too, which makes it that much better!

Tessa wanted to dress up like Batman. She put on the mask and used the slinky as her "utility belt." :)

Damon sure likes graham crackers. Tessa was eating some and gave him one. You would have thought he had won the lottery when he tried it.

He has started climbing on EVERYTHING. He was thrilled with himself the first time he climbed on the kitchen chair and had a snack with the big kids.

He can't climb down off a lot of things though. He just yells MOM over and over and over until I come get him down. 

Rockwell really wanted some books from the Book Fair at his school. We bought him one and he bought one with his own money. They're both chapter books. He has taken them everywhere and read every chance he gets since. I find him reading in bed with his night light so he doesn't wake Tessa up.

First thing in the morning.

And any time we're in the car. I love it!!
