{6.15.20 - 6.21.20}

These kids are troopers! Sure there is some whining and complaining, but they hiked a long way today to go look at Dad's trail cameras! 

Such a pretty view! // The kids and I built a cute little tee-pee! It was very difficult to fit all four of them in at the same time, but we were pretty pleased with how it turned out! 

Eli was a great little helper! 

I love these people! 

I love these cactus flowers! I think they are some of my favorite "wild flowers." (Are they even considered a wild flower!?)  

I love this dirty face! He's such a handsome boy! // My little hiking buddy doesn't actually love the walking part. I don't blame him. There are lots of rocks for tripping on and the sagebrush is just about as tall as he is! It makes hiking difficult! 

This is his favorite seat in the car! Haha! // I did a thing! I have been debating for years about cutting my hair and I decided to go for it! I am so glad I did, I love it so much! 

Sometimes I am a fun mom and pull out the paint and some random wooden blocks I have stashed in the basement. This kept Eli entertained for a long time! 

Lyla turned her "S" into a snake. 

Axel's just kept adding more and more layers to his little ghost! I love this artistic child of mine! 

Alya's little witch boot turned out pretty cute, I think! 

I got out of my comfort zone this week! Because of Covid, the Scandinavian Festival that our little town puts on every year was basically cancelled. The city still tried to do some events and feature some "booths" virtually. So I signed up to do a "burn with me" type of activity. I think my family and close friends are the only people who saw my video, but it was a good learning experience for me and I am pretty proud of the piece I designed! 

I love this tree climbing Spiderman! // Peek-a-boo Eli! 

I know she's holding a hand in this picture, but Lyla actually got brave and hung herself upside down for a second! 

I love that their big teeth are coming in! They look so different without their baby teeth! It's crazy to me how big they are getting! 

I love this picture! I love that these girls have each other - I hope they always have this bond and have each other's backs! They will! They have to!! 

I don't know what these two talk about all the time, but they seem to have a lot to say to each other. Especially at 10:00 at night when they are supposed to be sleeping.
