BYU vs Mizzou

Benjamin and I had an adventurous date night at the football game at the Chargers stadium.

The Things They Say!

All I have is brothers to play with and boys don't know how to play. Gabs before we were married.

I really want to learn how to camp so I can learn to live without technology. Noelle 9.

Nicholina: Noelle, I need to use the bathroom.

Noelle: I will be out in a minute, do you need to do number 1 or number 2?

Nicholina: Number 0!

Noelle: What does that mean? There is no number 0.

Nicholina: Number 0 is when you have to go really, really bad! Nicholina age 6.

Benjamin: I love you Mercedes. Do you love daddy?

Mercedes: I love Sunday cake! Mercedes age 2

BYU football devotional

The kids have a great spiritual experience at the fireside. Then they get to meet Tanner Mangum and Taysom Hill and get a picture with Coach Bronco Mendenhall! Isaac said that Tanner Mangum stepped on his foot!

Playoffs

We spent most of the day Saturday at this beautiful Y facility in North KC. Their team, the Cobras, played three games. They lost the first and won the next two. They knew if they qualified for the semifinals, they wouldn't be able to participate because it was being played on Sunday. We are so proud of them for playing their best and having fun this season.

Run Sheldons! RUN!

Don't forget the Madine's!

Our first family 5K! So fun. Chantelle turned in her new best time at just over 30 minutes. Abigail and Noelle were a couple of minutes behind her. Benjamin and the babies, Isaac Chad, Gabs, and Nicholina were all together with Benjamin pushing the triple jogger. He ran the whole thing and finished in about 35 minutes pushing all five of the kids. Joshua and Isaac both finished their first 5K in under 40 minutes.

Freaks Come Out at Night

We had fun going to a park in Kansas with really beautiful water features. Just across the street was a school playground that was very well lit and super fun.

The kids had fun playing daddy monster.
