Asher had a fun preschool trip this week. I feel really lucky to go on those things with him right now. It's funny how you have so much one-on-one time with the oldest kid and the youngest kid, and life feels so different with each. He was adorable trying to act like a butterfly through the butterfly gardens, because he thought that might make a butterfly want to land on him. What a joy to have a preschooler.
I'm having so much fun watching Westin be so independent. The way he walks home a little ahead of us right now so he can have time to grab a snack, before riding his bike to his friend's house and riding to football practice with them. His Star Squad meetings or Minecraft Club mornings, his lip sync rehearsals with his friends, baking cookies for the youth bake sale. He's just a busy guy but our happy location means that he's just walking or riding his bike to almost all of this and it's just so fun to see what he likes being involved in.
We had a Zoom meeting this week with my friend Janette who is helping my family get ready for Disneyland next week. Jenny and Ali and Matthias were on the call with Michael and me and it just had me so excited to get together for a good time soon :) I love that my family and Michael's family make the effort to get together. Cousin memories are so special. My boys are counting down the days!
Westin's lip sync audition went well this week. Those boys cracked me up and I hope they get to be in the show. I'm glad I'm not on the judging panel that has to cut cute acts!
It was a little crazy doing the youth bake sale on Saturday morning before flying out to California that afternoon, but it was a good day! Flying feels so easy with this crew now, although Southwest policies are making it more annoying to use them -- not knowing if you're going to get to sit by your kid is stressful! But not like, pay $40 a person for it kind of stressful :) Haha. It'll work out.

Always the winner in this game lately,
and I can't quite figure out how he's so consistent about it! |

Our garage has moved into our house.
I'd like to say we know where everything is right now, but,
it's a lot. |

When all is said and done we should hopefully be able to fit a truck in here one day.
I still love the Corolla though, for what it's worth. |
