our Friday

The boys were out of school today. Everyone except Cale slept in. Cale always wakes up the minute Darren walks in from work (which is way too early to get up on non-school days!), but I love that Darren and Cale have that special time together in the mornings. By the time I woke up the boys were up and playing. Coby had been building legos and immediately brought me some "flowers" as a belated birthday gift (see below). I know I say it a lot, but he is so sweet! His future wife is a very lucky lady. He is the most thoughtful person I know.

This morning the boys and I went to see the latest Diary of the Wimpy Kid movie. It was funny, but I liked the first one better. We went to the 11:00 showing because our theater has $5/person showings before noon.

I think Connor was humiliated that I was taking a pic on public....heaven forbid! (horrible phone pics)

my sweet boys waiting for the movie to start

It has been way too long since I took a pic of all three boys so I tried to quickly get one of the boys today before we left for the movie. As usual I just can't get one that I like of all three. But still, I got one with all three together (even though Cale has a crazy smile!). That's good enough for me! I just like having one of all my boys together every now and then.

The one below cracks me up. Coby was trying to lovingly put his arm around Cale, but it looks more like he was trying to choke Cale out. I'm pretty sure that Cale didn't like it too much.

Connor went over to Cam's house for a sleepover shortly after the movie. The rest of us enjoyed some time at home before heading out to a belated birthday dinner with mom and dad. We went to Redrock Canyon Grill and it was delicious as always. After that we went to Kristen and Kennard's to see their new townhouse. It is so nice and they have tons of room...I am so happy for them! The best part was getting to hold Avery (Macy was sleeping) while Coby and Cale played with Madison. It's been a great Friday!

Ellie update: She's 15 weeks and 27 pounds! She has lost two of her baby teeth over the last several days and whines as she chews on toys so I know her gums are bothering her (just like a baby!). She doesn't have to go out at night anymore (yay!) and she took about 4 weeks to potty train (we had 5 accidents total). She is a sweetheart and I am really thankful that Darren surprised me with her! I like having the company while he's at work and the boys are in bed. I'll just be glad when she's done "teething"!

She fills up her entire bed now...guess it's about time for a new one (she sleeps in a crate at night and while we're not home for now)

Awww....this is what Cale has been doing while I wrote this post. He fell asleep on the sofa at about 8:45 and he's still there. I love when they fall asleep anywhere other than their beds....it's just plain sweet!
