Stress Brownies

From time to time I come home from work or school completely frazzled because I have so much to do in a limited amount of time. This is a pretty common occurrence considering I'm taking 17 credit hours of classes and working about 20 hours a week. And by common I mean that I come home in this stressed out state at least once a week, sometimes more. When I am in that mood there is only one solution, which is to sit myself down and get a ton of work done really fast. It's great because it's really productive and I'm super focused. However, I think that it puts Clayton on edge haha. So whenever I get into my "I need to get things done!" mood, Clayton drops whatever he is doing and cleans our apartment. I know, he is absolutely the best husband a girl could ask for. And it gets better, he often makes me brownies too.

First Day of Kindergarten

Cora and Ruby were so excited for school to start today. They woke up extra early thing morning and came into my room with their uniforms already on. We made German pancakes for breakfast, during which Cora spilled some syrup on her shirt and had to change it, and rode bikes outside to burn off some extra energy.  I just dropped them off at the school! The high school football team was waiting outside the elementary school (the high school, middle school, and elementary school are all on the same campus and share a parking lot) and formed a human tunnel for the kids to run through while they shouted “welcome to school!” It was cute. Ruby and Cora both ran through went straight to class without a single tear or complaint. In fact they didn’t even turn around to wave goodbye 😢. Now it’s just Darcy and me at home all afternoon.

Camping at Batman’s

Our ward was planning the annual father and sons camp out, and Clayton felt excluded so he planned an annual father and daughters camp out for him and the girls. This year they camped out in Scott’s backyard up in Salt Lake.  Before leaving Cora and Ruby made a list of all the things they wanted to do on the camp out.  1. Swim 2. Hike to a waterfall 3. Play with dolls 4. Bake a pie 5. Play games 6. Pull Batman’s teeth  7. Visit Becky 8. Pull one of Batman’s hair 9. Break Batman’s stuff 10. Eat breakfast with Batman 11. Wake Batman up 12. Watch a show 13. Play on his playground  I think they were able to do everything except for break his stuff.  Tommy and Ruby were about to race, and Ruby told Tommy that the secret to why she was going to win is because she has “girl speed” 💪 Darcy and I stayed home together. It was crazy how quiet our house was with just the two of us. I kept thinking this is how it’s going to be when the twins are in school and it’s just me ...

September 2025 Catching Up

Image
 It's been too long since I've blogged any family updates, and I already know I'm going to miss those lost years that I forgot to document! Dang it! So, here's a little recent life update to get the ball rolling again.  This month has been a big, exciting one for Darcy. She started ballet lessons, which she has been begging me for since she was 2 and watched her big sisters go to dance class. She absolutely loves it, and has made a friend named Josie in her class. Darcy is quite the little dancer, and her teacher tells me every week what a great student she is. Darcy also started preschool! It's twice a week for 2.5 hours, but that seems to be the perfect amount of time for her. She loves her teacher Mrs. Melody, and has made two little bffs, Sailor and Eloise. Their class is pretty small, so she plays with all the kids, but says that sometimes the boys play a little too rough for her. She doesn't have having things thrown at her all the time.  Darcy comes home ...
