tuesday tidbits

:: corbin ::

1. This week Corbin is at scout camp. Monday to Saturday, that's a long time. He did take his phone and on his way to dinner we sent texts back and forth. I liked that. He told me it poured and all his things got wet. :(

2. Before camp, I took Corbin to buy some snacks to take to camp. He showed much gratitude for this.

3. At the family reunion last weekend, Corbin fell in love with paddle boarding. He has amazing balance.

:: taylor ::

1. The other day, while at Lagoon, Taylor started complaining about a headache. Within 30 minutes he was leaning over a fence throwing up :(  He was sick for almost two days after that.

2. On our summer hiking adventures, Taylor is usually the only one who doesn't complain. He might not love it, but he pushes through the entire hike without a negative word.

3. Taylor built up the courage to ride the rocket at Lagoon and LOVES it!

:: levi ::

1. Our neighbor came over last week and asked if one of our boys could water their plants. Levi excitedly volunteered first and has been very diligent and making sure it happens.

2. Levi loves to get his back massaged. When he's feeling really tense or upset, that seems to be the thing that helps the most.

3. Last Thursday, Levi got to spend the day with dad up in the mountains on the four-wheeler and then out to eat at Golden Corral. They both came home stuffed.

:: rudger ::

1. We got an email from Rudger's Kindergarten teacher (who's also in our ward!) telling the kids she is so excited for them to come to school. Rudger told me he wants to go back in time and change it to NOT excited, because he does not want to go to school. 
2. When we were at the reservoir on Saturday, Rudger LOVED the water! Water is his happy place.
3. Rudger's two favorite books are Green Eggs and Ham + Franklin Is Messy. I love listening to him read it to himself. He surprisingly has it memorized pretty good. 

:: adeline ::

1. Her obsession with Moana should probably be considered unhealthy. Every morning she begs to watch it. If she finds my phone she will run to one of her brothers to have them put the password in, then she'll take it back, swipe until she finds Netflix, then swipe till she finds Moana. She sits down triumphantly to watch it. 21 months old. Her favorites are MMnana and Heihei. 
2. If she doesn't see me as soon as she wakes up, she walks around the house saying, "where mum" "where mum"
3. "Daydees" (babies) are her other favorite right now. Especially cousin Henry.
