Firsts & Lasts

Shep’s haircut post-quarantine was the FIRST one he had where he was super happy and didn’t cry at ALL! Yay, Shep! 

Just look at this beautiful sight! Super hero figurines have never looked so good 😂. This week marks the first time Shep actually tee teed in the potty and initiated it! He has used it every time since then, so we have been celebrating big time the past few days! He has earned all of his superheroes since then, so hoping we are on the way to full potty-trained status!! 

Playing together sweetly most days, a lot of the day...a huge first. Patience and manners are being taught heavily these days. I think we are entering the easier stage of being able to use time out consistently, understanding it, and learning from it. Lots of love and praise for those good behaviors...and LOTS of grace for a tired Mama. I love this age, but it’s exhausting talking so much 😂. 

Until you don’t want to wait your turn. 😂
These three! 🥰❤️

One in actual clothes and one in pjs. Toddler twin life. Thumbs up to popsicles!
Last day of school!!! Countdown to turning in the LAST assignment. She has woken up at 6 every morning to get it finished before dance. Her sweet teacher (who we adore) even emailed to see if she needed to post earlier 🤣.  Self-motivation...or persistence 🤔. Either way, an all A student. 😎 I didn’t get one of SN since he wakes up later and it’s complete chaos at that time. He’s also not as self-motivated. Not gonna lie, it’s a struggle to get him to WANT to do it. But he’s an all 4’s student!! Even more importantly, he recently memorized The Lord’s Prayer in its entirety (video so can’t post). So proud! Love my smart babies!! 



Then, her school posted a “clap out” video for the fifth grade students. They weren’t able to go on all of their lasts for elementary school. Eric and I are so excited for her new school next year (not going to a real “middle school” is keeping her young in our eyes 🥰), but this made the tears flow. 
CeCe learned how to peel an orange, and she is the peeling queen now. 

First time for Sam Nolan to play real football. I just can’t wait to see my love in that little football uniform and pads. The actual game comes second. 😂

And...we finally got around to it. We updated this nasty bathroom. Our LAST project in this house.


And then we did this! Our FIRST time buying land and FIRST time building a home. Closing in June and then we can’t wait to start planning our forever house in Springville in the near future. LOTS of Pinterest, planning, and Pandy Agnew going on.

Sunny days!

Delaney was SO ecstatic to get back to in-studio dancing (and we were ready to get our sunroom/talking room back)!
Happy girl!
Shep has learned how to blow bubbles with his mouth, and does it ALL the time!
The look of a boy who wants his toy, but doesn’t think I’m taking his pics. 

When I look at him and he sees me spy him trying to grab it. 
Oh, Sheppy. 

He got it!
Mother’s Day pic with my babies!!
My CeCe is happy.

I love seeing them playing together!!




All smiles!!

MORE water play time!!!

Well, this is becoming a tradition we do for a morning activity...I’m okay with it. 😎💦







Today was the day! They actually say for about 45 minutes to watch a movie! We have been waiting for this day 😂. Family movie nights (or mid-morning) coming soon. And we can actually WATCH the movie!!! 🍿 🎥 
This just made me laugh. CeCe’s cheese face is getting better and better 🤣. 

Delaney’s instagram post. 🥰

Water play

Nothing makes this girl happier than playing in water with her siblings! 
While these two relax, SN and CeCe enjoyed the sprinklers.


Until Shep goes Hulk and joins the fun!

Sam Nolan and CeCe don’t understand this personality of his. 😂
Muddy puddle jumping for him...those two in the back together. ❤️


🥰 He loves the water!

After coming in, everyone relaxes. CeCe saying “awwwww” “so cute” when seeing baby animals makes us smile.
Fakers. 😂🥰 Love them.
