2017-17&18

So Pais has turned into a crazy chicken lady.  Every time you look out the window, she's walking around with a chicken under one arm.
 Monday night Chris went bear hunting and Huntley wanted to do a craft so we made maracas. 
 Then we attempted a family game of battleship.  Not possible with Mav around.
 And here we have Paisley with another one of her hens.
 Mav's so busy all the time that if he actually slows down and cuddles with you, you take full advantage of it.
 The UPS man also came that day so Mav was entertained with some packaging material for the rest of the day.
 We ended the night with a much needed haircut. 
Pais got to plant more seeds at school.   
 Mav walked in the door at the babysitters on Thursday and immediately passed out.  Early mornings are rough. 
 Friday we went to Utah for Pa's graduation from BYU.
 I ditched the kids with Chris and attended the ceremony.  Josh is anti-selfies. 
 Here's a fun game of find Grandpa. 
And now he is an official college graduate, yay!!!
 And the best part of all was giving him his graduation present.  We've kept it a secret for five long months. 
 We went to dinner at Magelby's that night.  Mav was a big fan of the mini spoons on the dessert bar. 
 And Pais just wanted to be by Ada at all times.
 The next day we went out west to try out the new gun.  It was cold so the car became a playground. 
 
 Poor Ada is a good sport and lets Pais cuddle her without too much fuss. 
 
 Della and Pais got to have a sleepover.  These two did nothing but argue the first three years and now they do nothing but giggle when they are together. 
 And all good things come to an end and we had to drive home with three exhausted kids. 
 When we left Montana there was three inches of snow but we came home to sun, finally Mav can run free in his natural habitat. 
 Rachael got a new washer and now all the daycare kids sit in the laundry room all day long. 
 Friday the kids insisted on setting up the little pool as soon as we got back from dropping Hunt off at the bus.  It's still way to cold for that in my opinion but they didn't care. 
 Friday night we went fishing but first we had to dig up some worms. 
 
 
 
 
 This is the face you make when the fish you pull in ends up being a sucker fish and not a trout. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Saturday we drove to Idaho Falls to attend the temple open house. 
 We went with a few other primary friends and it was crowded and hot but I hope the kids still had a good experience. 
 
 Of course I found all the boys on the only couch of the whole tour. 
 And Chris only took one picture of the whole day and it was this awesome little gem.  I love it.
