We are finally out of school. Okay, that’s a lie. The boys have school on Tuesday(snow make up day). But most are not going. My boys want to.
It’s always a bittersweet feeling when you end another school year. But nothing I can do about it, time comes and goes not matter what you do.
Lando:
Father’s Day today!! Such a cute dad! And such a hard worker for all of us. His job is exhausting and he’s certainly been on a long stretch with no breaks. But breaks are coming, and that will feel nice! He worked a ton on the yard on Saturday. Planted tomatoes even. Michael Daetwyler would be so proud! He took me on a fun date Friday night and then we stayed up WAY to late together, but I’m kind of obsessed with hanging out with him, that’s the problem.
Becca:
I have to look back at my schedule to remind me what happened. I had a pretty bad tension headache for the first few days of the week. But Dr Paul fixed it as always! Did lots of RS visits. Did prep for Summer so we can be intentional. Lots of running. Worst run of my life happens on Saturday. I started at 8:40pm. Ran 12 outside, then 4 more on the treadmill. Finished at 12:00am. I never want to do that again. I don’t even feel proud about it. Just mad it happened and relieved it’s over. We had the best BBQ with our neighbors last night and I finished my Mindful Self Compassion course. I had the best teacher!!
Jax
He got to go to silverwood on Monday and LOVED it. He was promoted to middle school next year. Which makes me super sad for a myriad of reasons. I’m totally fine with him being a sixth grader. Jax is awesome and I’m obsessed with his grown up conversations and jokes. But I just hate that he’s going to middle school (6th graders are now middle schoolers in Spokane starting next year). That makes it so he and Luke will never be together. But also he’s going to a school that just really isn’t going to help him educationally. And I hate that for him. Ugh. He wrote the cutest Father’s Day letter and cleaned the kitchen for us this morning! Love him.
Ty
He has been struggling lately. I don’t totally understand it but I’ve been praying about it and have had some really interesting experiences with my own emotions to help me understand his! I’m just really obsessed with Tys happy smile! And also that sometimes he just gets this desire to do a lot of good. Like tonight he wanted to unload and load the dishes without being asked and even though it was Jaxsons job. I’m amazed by that!!! He started back up with soccer training and he was really discouraged with how he played. Which is CRAZY because all I see is some serious improvement. He’s getting good.
Luke:
Oh my goodness! Like being home, playing with Brigham is the sweetest thing. They are so cute in the mornings and just each others little buddies. I’m obsessed with his big brotherhoodness. He is reading sooooo well. I can’t believe it. And he’s really turned a corner with his whinnying, though not all the way. Not having baseball this last week has been so good for he and brigs. And tonight I bathed them and cuddled them, and read to them and tucked them in by 7:30 and they haven’t come out of their room yet. We normally weren’t even home on baseball nights til 8:00. Routine will be good for our family again!
Brigs:
He got stung by a bee!! Today after we had s’mores for Landon’s fathers day dessert… brigs took off his pants and undies and just peed in a bush. Hilarious. We need to stop letting him pee everywhere. But honestly, it’s way more sanitary than any public bathroom. Brigs loves being just like Luke. If Luke does it brigs does it. And that can be totally adorable (like at dinner time) and totally annoying (like at play time.) but I’m obsessed with his facial expressions and little attitude. He’s a fiesta one, and he’s no problem getting his way with all his big brothers!
