June

Our summer has been super busy already... June has flown by and I can't believe it's time to get ready for the 4th of July. It has definitely been a crazy month. We had a few birthdays, including Dal's, I made a wedding cake, Jett turned 8 months old, we said goodbye to Jaiden's bunny(Mr. Wiggles), and the most exciting and scary thing was having to evacuate our home for a few days due to a wildfire. I always new it could happen, but never thought it actually would. It was an extremely humbling experience. I'm thankful no homes or families were hurt. I'm thankful for all the firefighters and people involved in containing the fire. I'm thankful to live in such a beautiful community, with amazing people. We are truly blessed.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Our little leprechaun, Seamus, came to visit last night...and boy, did he leave a mess. He left tiny footprints all over the house, wrote a special letter, tipped furniture over, left toys out, turned the milk green, relieved himself in two toilets, turned the boys' nose green, and left his pot 'o' gold for Jaiden to find. Jaiden was so surprised... He loved seeing the footprints all over. His favorite had to be the "leprechaun peeps." This had to be our best St. Patrick's Day yet. We all finished off the morning with green pancakes, syrup, eggs, and milk.

Why I Love Living in Eagle Mountain...

A wonderful mess

I often find myself looking at the house, my kids, my life, my marriage,and start thinking, wow, this needs some serious cleaning. There are so many areas where I could become more organized. I can say I've definitely improved in some ways...schedules and house work to name a couple,but it always seems to go right back to where I started. And there is never any consistency. Just a lot of randomness. Then I think, in all of this madness, I'm actually enjoying myself, my house, my kids, my life, my marriage. I just need to stop trying so hard and start embracing my wonderful mess. Here are some snippets from February.

Love this boy!

I love this little face!! He's so excited to go running with Mom and Jaiden ;)

3 Months Old!

This little handsomes is 3 months old and I can't believe it! Time has gone by way too fast. I'm sure I say that every time I post, but it does. We love Jett so much! He is obviously starting to smile and giggle. He has a funny little personality and is one happy baby... most of the time. He's starting to sleep better during the night(thank goodness). He's just about 12 lbs. and he's looking super tall(not sure how tall exactly). The crazy thing is that while I was cleaning out his smaller outfits I held up one of his premie suits and couldn't believe he was ever that tiny. It makes me sad that babies have to get big so fast but I love this next stage he is moving into. It just keeps getting better.
