Awesome big bro & faux PT conference

Yesterday Koby really spoiled his little sister. He helped her build a tent with blankets in the house, played a board game with her-anything she wanted-except for Candyland, played the wii with her and also allowed her to be his teacher while they played school. Talk about an awesome brother!

Last night Morgan had a bright idea-here it is:

Morgan: Mom, how about if you pretend to be Koby's mom (big stretch I know!) and I will pretend to his teacher and you have to come and talk to me.

Me: Hello Ms Morgan, how is Koby doing in school?

Morgan: Really good, he is really smart and he has an A. Here is his homework. (She handed me a pretty hefty pile of papers.)

Me: Great! Does he talk too much in class?

Morgan: No not too much. I have learned him a lot of things.

Me: Taught?

Morgan: Yeah I taught him a lot.

Me: What did he do at school today?

Morgan: We practiced writing his name like about 100 times. Then he had reading time. (He was actually still reading when I got home from work.) Then I gave him a cupcake paper and had him decorate with a pen, we like colored pictures on it.

Me: Wow! Sounds like you are a great teacher.

Morgan: Yeah, I am.

Block party

On Saturday some of our awesome neighbors planned a block party and it was so much fun! Morgan, Maylee and I hung out-Steve was home sick and Koby was off with his friends at the same party. Morgan loved getting her face painted. There was a cute little children's bike parade that I got to watch with Peyton.



The picture of Maylee is not at the party but I took it the same night so we might as well throw it in.

Ducks

We went to feed the ducks.
First pic is Steve riding in the backseat with Morgan-first time for him to sit in the back. Next is Peyton holding Maylee's hand-thought it was so cute I had Steve take a picture of it. If Maylee cries then Peyton will scream "BECKY!" When I say, "What?" she says, "Maylee is crying!" Koby enjoyed feeding the ducks even if he doesn't look super excited about it.




Check out the arm on those girls!

Jackson

On Tuesday June 21 my birthday, baby Jackson Matthew Werry was born-my newest nephew. He is super cute and I can't wait to spoil him as much as I do his big sister. Congrats Matt and Mindy and big sister Peyton!

Sweetest little laugh

Lately Maylee has been laughing quite a bit but as soon as we pull out the camera to tape it-she stops! She also laughs at such random times-like the other day when I was changing her diaper. So when I sneezed and she busted out laughing I asked Koby and Morgan to secretly get the camera out and hide behind me and tape it. I look like a fool but whatever it takes to make my baby smile-right? It is such a sweet little laugh and I could listen to that sound for hours. Enjoy!

My favorite pictures

Over the weekend I took 132 pictures and rather than trying to dump them all onto the blog, I am choosing to show you a few of my favorites-of course the subject for the pictures are my children! They are so darn adorable that the choosing is going to be hard.

mini-vaca weekend

I felt a desperate need to just get away but money, time off and a new baby prevented us from a vacation, so we decided to take a mini-vacation. I called the kids at about 2:00 in the afternoon and told them to pack up their bags. Steve and I got home from work at about 5 and after throwing my own things into a bag we took off. I had reserved a hotel in Draper, where the kids and Steve spent a couple of hours playing in the pool. Maylee and I took pictures and then hung out in the room watching HBO. We got up fairly early on Saturday and went to the Hoogle Zoo. We got home and just hung out together. We finished the weekend off by giving Steve his father's day presents, home-made breakfast and playing the wii as a family. I think we all had a wonderful time. I took a lot of pictures!

Morgan our little prankster put two barbies into a gift bag and gave them to Steve as his father's day present.
