All I Do is Win

This week I posted ten pictures on Instagram about my life as a mom. I have been doing that for a pretty long time now! It is most of what I have done for the last almost 25 years. There were a bunch of pictures I didn't post.  Here are two outtakes to intersperse with updates and other stuff I did this week.

Mariah and Mac are currently in Utah. Or Idaho. Actually I think Mac is fishing in Idaho with his dad and brother and Mariah is hanging with the girl Kellers in Utah. When she isn't away for the weekend, she is back to nannying Willa and Hazel and spending too much time making bracelets for Stacey. 

Eliza sent me 3D ultrasound pictures of her already 7 pound baby!!! I probably shouldn't post them here, but seeing the sweet face and adorable already chubby cheeks were one of the highlights of my week.  She is so, so so cute! We can't wait to meet her. Especially Eliza, who is sighing more than usual now, and feeling validated that they told her she is having a big baby.

Willa came with me to deliver flowers to some sisters in the ward, came with me to Costco, and turned in a video of me putting away groceries with my helpers for her video class.

Wyatt went to Savers and got some T-shirts to tie-dye. Griff and Eve joined him. He has been looking awesome. As Alan and I considered his look yesterday, we realized he was wearing a tie-dye shirt, a mullet, skinny sweats (think pegged) and brand new white tennis shoes. Alan said, "He looks like me in high school!" We also sent out Wyatt's grad announcements this week.  Willa helped design, print and stamp them. He has 3 more AP tests to take and has to be a lot more willing to have photos taken before I post on social media about this life milestone.

Griffin and his dad and Wyatt planned to watch the NFL playoff games and Superbowl again this week, because why not? There are no live sports on TV right now. And also it is a quick task without commercials--only about 40 minutes per game. Griff excitedly put on his Chiefs shirt with his Alan Wimmer/ Pat Mahomes jersey for the event. Number 15 red and gold is a winning look for a quarterback! We also asked Griff to give a talk for our sacrament meeting today as we were putting him to bed last night. He agreed, and asked me to take down what he said because his handwriting is hard to read. He quickly dictated an amazing talk faster than I could write in just a few minutes before I kissed him goodnight. Then this morning before Alan left to round at the hospital, he put on his church clothes by himself, including his new blazer (that he asked for and was delivered from Amazon on Tuesday) and delivered it from a music stand he set up in front of our library table. It was wonderful in every way.

And Eve. What can I say about our hilarious Eve? She never wants to do work. Willa has decided she isn't actually quarantining because she is always checking in with the neighbors (she is pretty good about keeping her distance I think though). One of those check-ins yielded her a peek at a nest of newborn bunnies in Margaret's garden. Eve also disappears and does her own thing a lot. She says really funny things. She is amazingly musical, but wants to do piano on her own terms. If I play something for her once she is pretty good at playing it mostly by ear, so I have to be careful and intentional about teaching her to read music, since I am her piano teacher now. We had to quit virtual lessons for her because she hid from her teacher being able to see her on the screen and cried a lot.

Here is a fun video. It reminds me of a video I have of Eve as a toddler putting her face in the air outflow of the vacuum.
