Finnick was blessed June 5th. Steven said lots of good stuff but the one thing that stuck out was that he blessed him to have close relationships with his siblings and family. which is good cause i want my boys to be the bestest of friends!

embry's tongue
a few sundays ago, embry bit his tongue pretty bad! Steven was brushing their teeth before bed and he slipped off the stool and hit his chin on the sink. it was later than they usually go to bed-around 9:30. i was feeding finnick while it happened so i only got one look at it, and i just saw blood. Steven said that it looked pretty bad so i took him..wanting to just get all this over with since it was already 10pm and i was tired! So when the nurse called him back to get his vitals he asked Embry to stick his tongue out. There was this perfect straight line of a cut with a piece of tongue hanging out. I felt sick and tears started coming but i held them back not wanting to freak Embry out. he still saw my face but i didn't seem to affect him at all. he is one calm and collected kid sometimes cause i can imagine that hurt pretty bad! After 2.5 hours (which isn't too bad for the ER) the doctor just said that since it was in the middle of his tongue it would grow back together pretty quickly and stitches would actually be a worse option for with all that saliva the anesthetic shot would create. and also with a 3 year old freaking out they would have to put him out. so it was just a liquid diet for a few days and by about Friday it looked amazingly better! He liked the idea of going to the store and picking out yogurt and applesauce that was just his. The 2nd picture is the morning after and it looked way worse in person because you can see the dimension of the flap. but he handled it like a champ and i was the only one who ended up being a little traumatized by it.
he was persistent about his hands being this way for the picture.

helicopter date night!
Steven's been flying since 2006 but i have never been able to fly with him yet! So it was really awesome to be able to see Steven in his element, and see what he does in his life away from us. steven is really cool! (but i already knew that:) This is the hangar that he works in. These are all Rotorway helicopters, he flies these and is also working as a mechanic on them.
but, we flew in the schiewzer.
pre flight check
after we took off we flew by this old airport that has a bunch of old planes everywhere. it's cool to see what is just in the middle of nowhere.
then steven landed on the top of a mountain!
we flew over our old house
then alongside Ironwood
then over the mesa temple
and then back to the airport.
he let me fly for a bit and i actually kept it pretty steady. it was the coolest date i've ever been on & steven is a really (hot) good pilot.

father & all my kids campout!
Steven took the boys to the ward father and sons campout last weekend at Roosevelt Lake. It was just me and Finnick for the night and it just seemed a little lonely so we ended up at my parents house. i basically just sat on the couch feeding and holding the baby while watching tv. it was nice! my mom and i rented this movie called "waiting for forever" with rachel bilson in it. the preview looked cute. but really, i was just waiting for forever for it to end! ha. you know i just wrote about watching this movie so i could tell that joke.....again.
anyways here are some pictures steven took.
they had fun and i had fun.
father and son outings are just a win win for everyone!
(but i guess not for those with all girls.....yikes.....sorry!:)
Steven said it wasnt even cold, it was actually too hot. and hard to sleep
(usually it's the other way around, even in AZ)
he took these cool pictures of the moon at 1 am.
mothers day
i feel so grateful to be a mom to these four insanely cute boys! steven said once that whenever he'd see families in his ward with only (and lots) of boys he'd think "that would suck!"
but now, we are those people. (thanks to steven)
i really love having these boys! and i'm such a lucky duck that Heavenly Father thought that i should get them! they are so sweet, especially to me. i don't think you are ever truly loved enough until you have a home full of 5 boys that love you! it's the best!
we took one with me in it (since it was mothers day). but i just nastified that picture up real nice. really need to start matching up to my cute family.
and soon.
proof that they love me:)

for mother's day steven got me an itouch. (suspiciously a week after he dropped his out of a helicopter:) i didn't think i'd use it, but i am getting addicted. which kind of scares me, but i think i have a pretty good balance..and i dont think i'm on facebook anymore than i was before. so, i saw a friend using this app, instagram on facebook and i love it! the itouch doesnt take amazing pictures, so this app makes them look all vintage-y, instead of crappy. i also love the "lose it' app. i have about 20 more pounds til i get to pre-finnick weight. sucks! i only wish i could remember i dont have any clothes to wear when i'm in the ice cream isle at walmart. anyways, here are all the cute instagram pics.
