Checkups

I took Cougar and Lacey to the doctor for their well child visits on the 21st.
Cougar: about 4 1/2 years old
37 lbs. and 41 inches tall, just under average for both
Cougar is a smart, healthy boy.  The doctor always remembers who Cougar is.  Cougar loves to tell him anything and everything.  He did great.  He even got his kindergarten shots and didn't cry at all.  I held his arms and legs as they gave him 4 shots.  He looked like he might cry when the first one went in but then he just kept looking at me and no tears or screams or anything came.
Brynlee didn't need to get checked but she did get a flu shot.  She limped around for the next day or so and cried for quite a while.
Lacey at 2 months 10 days old.
10 lbs. 8 oz. and 22 inches long, about the 20th percentile in both.  The shocking number for her is that her head only measures at the 10th percentile which is really different from her siblings.
Lacey is growing fast.  She still has blue eyes (which is also unusual for someone in this family) and dark hair that is slowly being rubbed off the back of her head.  She had the rotavirus and 3 shots.  My other kids would always just sleep a lot the day they got shots but she didn't sleep as much and screamed when I tried to nurse her.  I was trying everything to get her to eat so I rubbed her gums, as if she were teething, and that seemed to calm her enough to eat some.  The next day things were back to normal.  I am very grateful for my sweet healthy kids.

End of August: Kindergarten and Sports

Hap kept helping me take care of the Memmott's yard. Their raspberries are amazing and have made me look into getting plants. I took the three little kids to the doctor for well visits. They are all healthy and growing. Brynlee was 49 inches tall and weighed 51 pounds, which is below 1% for her age. Lacey was 47.5 inches tall and weighed 43 pounds, about 10th percentile. Hap was 44 inches tall (25%) and 36 pounds (3%). I tried making cookies with all the sunflower seeds we got in lunches but they wouldn't really stick in the cookies and the kids wouldn't eat them that way. I thought they were good. Hap enjoyed his last morning home with just us by falling on my bed. He started kindergarten and loved it. Brynlee and Lacey were happy to show him how to ride the bus and how to get to class. He had a great day and told me all about it. I found squash bugs and eggs at the Memmott's so I helped them out by getting rid of what I could find. Their yard is so pretty; look at the...

Games and Birthday Parties

Hap loves school and comes home with the cutest projects. I am getting lots of stuff from the garden; I used the tomatoes to make taco soup. Cougar had a game in Orem so Hap played on this cool playground when we dropped him off. We got there a bit early so Cougar helped Hap for a while and then we left and went to the girls' soccer games. It was rainy. Cougar had a SWAT training for practice. Heidi had a Thursday Night Lights game against Provo. She did great. I found this cute picture on the school's Instagram the next day. I basically taught Heidi math again; we had many late nights doing math and I was so grateful when it was something I liked. Because Heidi's game was on a Thursday, we were able to have Lacey's party on Friday and Hap's party on Saturday. It was a busy weekend but it worked for us. Lacey invited her friends over for a rainbow party. Almost all of her friends were available that night so it made it super fun for her. Her friends that came are Ad...

Last Week of School 2021-2022

Hap was thrilled to have a couple friends come play while their parents were at high school graduation. Heidi was one of very few students to attend school that last week, it was mostly parties. Baseball started. They're not the best team but they've made more plays in one game than his team did all of last year so it's a lot more fun to watch. With just a few days left with just Hap at home we went on a trip to Costco and drew pictures. Heidi finally got her permit. We didn't leave enough time for her to retake the test the first time she took it (since they close at 5), and after realizing there were questions about points and insurance she read the handbook and then easily passed. Hailey picked the fabric and sewed this bag. My garden is growing and looks more green thanks to these tomato plants from my parents. My pumpkins are doing well, like usual, and had the cutest butterfly flying around them. Brynlee and Lacey made cards and crafts for their wonderful teachers...
