Hold Em

My house is so full right now and I wish I could freeze time and hold em all here forever. I love it. 

Last night, Aaron took Bear to the shareholder concert. Bear LOVES One Republic and was super excited. He even wore the tshirt I got when I took Quincy and friends to see them at the amp her sophomore year. 

Aaron and Bear left and the little girls disappeared into a craft upstairs.  I started dinner prep. Reese and Logan came over after work. Ryan came home for dinner.  Ammon came over for a haircut and then he and Corbin casually let me know they invited the priest quorum over for sliders and game 1 Knicks v Spurs. 

I doubled the sliders on the grill. 

Knicks winning. Sensational.

Little girls go to bed. 

Halftime: Hyrum unrolls a poker table mat and deals everyone in. 

Ryan teaches Ammon how to play poker and it takes longer than when he taught Esme and Sloane. 😂

Ryan folds. 

The rest of the boys bet big. All in. 

I wiped that table CLEAN a pair and a straight. 

Good thing it’s only chips. They’d be broke. 

Neal posted this pic on the Sunday school group chat 💀 Don’t gamble kids. 

After the game (Knicks in 6, who’s with me? I want to see manhattan light up with excitement), Ammon, Hyrum, abd Neal went home. Soren went to pack for camp, aaron and Bear went to bed (they came home early, one republic canceled), and the rest of us moved the party upstairs so we wouldn’t keep waking up Aaron. 

Man I love when Corbin is in a funny chatty mood. He doesn’t get silly like this without Quincy very often. She brings out everyone’s crazy size. Reese, Logan and I piled on the daybed and listened to Corbin tell the funniest stories last night. I think we finally called it at 1:30. 

I am loving this stage of life that my kids are in. I know it won’t last forever, but I’m holding on to all the late night laughs this summer! Even if the pretty guest room smells like farts and socks now.
