Naughtiness

 The stories of this little cutie just keep on coming! At least she's the cutest little stinker ever.
She thought she could pour her own milk for her cereal. It's hard to describe the feeling of watching that milk jug in a nonstop pour. Ahh! Stop!! I was on the phone ordering food and had to apologize for my outburst. Child!
I have found multiple selfies of her.
Probably one of the worst days right here. I was watching Steve's girls at the time. It was quite crazy around the house. In the middle of the chaos I find some nail polish smeared on the floor. Searched a little more and found a bunch of nail polish smeared and the bottle dumped out sitting sideways on the floor, carpet, and some furniture! Found Auri and saw that she had it all over her hands, body and clothes. Ah!! I was so upset, I just put her straight in her room. I tried wiping it up the best I could then went to talk to Aurora. That's when I find her bum nakey in her room. Best of all, she had pooped and attempted to clean it up herself with multiple wipes. She'd also had a couple pee spots trickled all over the floor. Oh my! I was so angry I called Mike (he was at the store cutting). I couldn't even get one word out and started bawling. I'd lost it. 

My knight in shining Wood Creations T-shirt showed up with rag and a miracle solution in hand! He walked around the whole house and got it all. He is amazing, and definitely saved that little girl that day. I'm so grateful he was there in the very moment I needed him most. If that wasn't enough, he stayed home while I went into the store and worked there for a bit. He sure knows what I love!
  
We have been doing a bunch of women's expos in Vegas these past couple months, getting our name out there. We now have two stores, one here in St George and the other in Vegas. It's been a ton of extra work for everyone, and some long hours for Mike, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end. I have been driving to Vegas to do these shows. It's a lot of fun to be there in person. One night I stayed in a hotel all by myself, no children, nothing. If I hadn't been feeling so yucky I would have loved it even more. I stayed overnight another time, but mostly I just drove down and back in the same day and Mike kept the kids for the day. Sometimes its nice to trade every now and then:)

Haha! I'm sure it was Lincoln taking pictures of his Mommy and Daddy! Funny.
The kids and I found this little gem at the library! Awesome. Just awesome. By Susan Goodman. That would be the day!! ;)
Just doing what she does best, making a mess.
She's doing what she does best. Crafting. I love it!
The kids and I visited my wonderful friend Shelley at the Swiss Days.
My fabulous friend Catherine came over to visit before she moved for a different clinical site. We worked together in Rock Springs and she came to St George to train in Cardiac Ultrasound so we got to spend a bit of time together. I've always loved her and had so much fun catching up.

Daniel and Annica Visit

I never get tired of sleeping baby pictures! And it's probably the time I love them the absolute most!
I took the kids to Aunt Patty's for swimming lessons. Daddy ended up staying home with Auri. She was all ready to go swimming and was super sad, so of course her loving Daddy let her have her own little pool party in the front yard. She loves Daddy so much:)

Finding all kinds of cool hiding places at the store...

Mike called me one random morning and asked me if he could take Aurora with him to Vegas to take a load of crafts down. "Mister Goodman, you bet!" I got her all packed up and ready to go on her date. This girl was seriously giddy. Her Daddy is her favorite person in the world (mine too, he's one amazing guy, especially after taking the littlest one on an extended date!).

Daniel, Annica and the kids came down for the weekend! It was a lot of fun to have them with us. We went to the Main St splash park and the kids were in love. Daniel even had a lot of fun playing with the kids. I had a craft class to teach and Annica got to come to it and craft! I hope she had fun:)  We also got to go out and shop while Daniel watched the kids big kids; he got to go play some disc golf earlier so it was a great deal. Mikey had to work all day Saturday, but we got to watch Thor 2 together and hang out. I love having visitors! :)
Beautiful Baby Charlie!
Max had a blast playing with his cousins.
I got to witness a car crash during my craft class that night. Annica had left within 5 minutes of the crash. I had one lady left and we were tying up the ribbons when it happened. The poor 16 yr old boy was in shock. I was choked up and so sad for him. Everyone was safe, but dang it makes me so nervous knowing one day my babies will be driving their own car! I will never be ready.

Labor Day in Kolob

The night before Labor Day, we all decided to drive up to Kolob for a little day trip and hike. It was a lot of fun. Mike had to stay at the store and work to get caught up (they were closed for the holiday). But I still went up with the munchkins. Dang it was a nice warm day. The kids just loved walking around in nature, going on a hike along the trail, climbing a giant tree (Lincoln is King of tree climbing, one of his favorite things to do), having a picnic, and playing Charades on my phone. It was a beautiful day to spend with family.
Auri and Britters are so dang cute together!
Love the time we still get to spend with Grandma and Grandpa Great.
They played a game of Hide the Candy:)
