Rodeo Days

Laun left around 4am in the morning for some conference & we will meet up with him on friday night. The kids get 2 days off because the rodeo is in town, you know how serious the rodeo is, it's practically a holiday around here. So I will experience having 5 kids around for the next 2 days (the twin boys I babysit & my 3 kids), lucky for me all the babies are pretty good & my boys are great with little ones.

Here are the ninos enjoying lounging around watching a movie. I don't know what got into Marlee, she was so cuddly.


The boys had fun entertaining the 3 little ones. Clayton was such a big help, he fed Marlee for me so, instead of feeding 3 babies at once like I usually do, I only had to feed 2.


Marlee does this new thing lately where she sucks her right thumb & then touches her belly button with her left hand. Hopefully she will drop these habits when school rolls around.


I made a grape & orange julius smoothie:

3oz frozen juice concentrate
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of water
2 Tb white sugar
1 t vanilla
6-10 ice cubes

Mix all ingredients except for ice in a blender for 1-2 minutes. Then Add ice cubes 1 at a time & keep mixing until it reaches a smoothie-like texture. This recipe is so fast easy.

I'm not sure if we look better with a grape or orange mustache. Either way, Marlees hair looks the best for sure.


I also took the kids out to Chevy's for lunch since they had the day off. Porter complained about 75% of the time that we had to leave the house. Then I went to Relief Society tonight & got some great family home evening ideas. I am excited for friday already- to see Laun & a new "family member" that will fly in from Iowa.
