So Logan has one top tooth that's come through. His other top tooth has just started poking through the gums along with the tooth right next to it. And he's actually hasn't been too cranky. Yay for me! But I love this picture. When he smiles you just see that one lone tooth on the top. The kids call it his monster tooth.
Well, we headed out to the water park for the second time this summer. We went over a week ago on Friday, June 6th. Misty invited us to tag along with her ward again. On every Friday they try to do something fun with the kids. I guess you could call us honorary members of her ward. The kids had a great time again. The weather was a little different from the last time. Really windy and a lot cooler outside. So they didn't spend too much time running through the water. They played on the playground and pretended to be superheroes. There are some really great soccer fields there, so they had lots of fun just running around. And Dax gave Misty a little jog. He took off running and just kept going. Usually he'll stop and come back, but he just kept going and poor Misty had to chase after him. I guess he did stop once and looked back at Misty and smiled really big and took off running again. That's Dax for you. Thanks Misty for catching Dax for me and thanks for inviting us again.
Afton, Hari, and Dax playing on the playground.
This is Michael, Val and Ryan's son. He's the cutest little boy. I love his long curly hair.
Eating lunch at the park. Dylen, Afton, Hari, and Dax.
Being superheroes. Misty tied their towels around their necks like capes. They loved it! They had lots of fun pretending to fly and chase off bad guys.
Dax has been getting his hair cut for awhile now and I've never taken any pictures, so I thought I would this time. He goes to this salon by our house and Marissa cuts his hair. She does such a good job and is really good with Dax. Dax is a totally different person when he gets his hair cut. He's so relaxed and quiet. He just sits there very still and hardly says a word. It's so weird! He's never like that. Marissa asked me if he's like this all the time and I was like "Never!". I guess he just loves getting his hair cut. I think it relaxes him and he kind of zones everyone out. It's so funny! But Marissa loves it. She says he's always the best kid hair cut for her.
Afton has been requesting tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches forever. And I haven't had any tomato soup, so I finally got some the other day. She was so happy to have this for lunch. She loves to dip her sandwich into the soup. And Dax even enjoyed it. I've made this for them in the past, but usually they'll eat the sandwiches and leave the soup untouched. Plus they both hate tomatoes. So I was quite surprised that they enjoyed this lunch so much. I made Dax take his clothes off because he loves to spill on himself! He'll do anything to be naked.
Today when I dropped Afton off at preschool, she was quite the center of attention. There are two boys in her class, Garrett and Jack, and when Afton got there they both ran over to her and were like "Hi Afton!, Hey Afton come play with me, Afton, Afton Afton!" And then both started pulling on one of Afton's arms. Then they started pushing and hitting each other while still hanging onto Afton. I couldn't help but laugh. It was so funny! Afton just looked at both of them with kind of a scared face. I don't think she knew what to do. Her teacher finally had to pull the boys apart and send Afton into the kitchen. I can't believe I already have boys fighting over Afton. This isn't suppose to happen until high school. Yeah, if I'm lucky!
We try to read a story with the kids before they go to sleep. Usually it's a book that they got from the library. The kids and I go to story time at the library each week and they get to pick out a couple of books and that's what they usually read before bedtime. Tonight it was Dora and Berenstain Bears. They love when Jason reads to them because he can make all kinds of crazy voices and sometimes he'll read to them in Spanish.
The other day Jason and Dax were looking through one of our older photo albums. Jason was showing him the pictures and telling him about each one. He was about 4 or 5 photos into the album when he looked over at Dax and he was fast asleep. I guess he thought daddy was pretty boring, or it could be that he hadn't had a nap yet and was pretty tired. Jason and I thought it was pretty hilarious. He was still sitting up and just looked like he had his eyes closed for the picture.
Yes, he's really asleep! Ever since he was born he's always slept with his eyes part way open. I know it's a little creepy looking, but that's just the way he sleeps.
So comfortable!
Now Afton is officially done with t-ball. On Thursday, the 29th of May, they had a closing ceremony for the t-ball teams. All of the teams met at the field where they played and each team was introduced by the coaches, they said some thank yous and then called each player by name and they ran from third base to home plate. Then they presented them with a trophy. So it was a little like their opening ceremony, they just got a trophy this time. And Afton was so excited to get her trophy. All of the kids were so excited to get their trophies. We also presented a little thank you for her coaches. The parents all went in together on some gift certificates for the coaches and then Afton and I made a cute candy-bar poem from all of the kids. The kids signed their names on the poster. It turned out really cute! And we had lots of fun making it. The candy bars got a little soft, but it all survived. Although I had a lot of little kids eyeing the candy.
