How could this all have happened overnight?

I am planning a 5 year old and a 1 year old party this week...... and I'm having an emotional crisis. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?





Just yesterday I was dating this guy.

And then suddenly I was wearing one of these.

The next thing you know I have a beautiful baby in my arms.

And then a handsome baby in my arms.

Too make 2 of these. I think they're called kids.

And Bam. All in that same day I added another one.

So I am thoroughly confused at how exactly it is that I am going to have a 5 year old. Even more thoroughly confused and depressed that my baby is 1.

A Pink and Polka-doted Dress

While in Utah Jadyn went to the poofy dress store with grandma (if you live in logan you probably know the one.) Jadyn got to pick it out herself, it sort of combines her favorite styles. She loves pink and she loves polka-dots! I was slightly horrified when I first saw it, but it's actually growing on me. In an effort to be on time to church, we lay out our outfits the night before. (It doesn't really help we are ALWAYS late.) Jadyn has like 10 church dresses, but every saturday night the pink and polka-dotted dress hangs on her door.

wet rats

it poured today. i have been a mean mom lately. i decided to let them play cause thats what a nice cool mom would do. :)

they were soaking wet. i stripped them on the porch before i let them back in. Maddux said "that dog is barking at us cause we not supposed to have naked bum out here"

News

Getting ready to move here. And probably spend alot of time with the cows and the wind turbines. Not looking forward to driving 30 min to the nearest wal-mart. There were literally 8 houses on the market in this town and 0 rentals. We contemplated building, but decided to just buy an old fixer upper. (pictures soon) Planning on putting our house on the market this week. The market has dropped and looks like we will be losing money on it. Sad day. :(

I absolutely despise moving for a various number of reasons. But I feel guilty about complaining too much about getting a better job. Looking forward to my husband hopefully working less hours and getting payed more. Come what may and love it, even with the stinky cows and the annoying wind. Right?

feeling poeticly inspired

this girls driving me crazy, completley insane



i say her name at least 50 times a day

she punched her little brother

my words go in one ear and out the other



she screams when i try to fix her hair

doesnt she understand she looks like a bear



she thinks its cool to roar

and throw trash on the floor



this girls driving me crazy, completely insane

i know this poem and my blog are most definantely lame

Vacation

Minus all the traveling, one week flew by.




This is DIA.The airplane ride was the best part of traveling, the car ride to the airport H-E-double L.

Oh beautiful Utah mountains, it was so nice to climb you.

Until the kids got tired and we carried them. Alex was using Jessicas braids as a horse. It was great.

oh mountains, oh mountains, how i miss you.

bodey sort of hated this backpack. i ended up carrying him down. pat carried maddux and jadyn, his arms were sore for days.

a guy along the way saw our group and all the kids and he politely said "your never going to make it to the top"

we proved him wrong!

grandma and jadyn. so cute. :)

a little family pic at the top.

this is the farm. shes doing laundry, and she liked it. of course i had to take a pic.

faith making butter

maddux loved the chickens and the train ride.

bodey tried to capture this duck. he was unsuccesful.

i am trying to convince pat we need a goat! i am trying to convice pat of alot of things. but the goat battle i am planning on winning.... you'll see.

grandma valories house is never complete without a horse ride.

this picture of this case tractor is all for you Jim!

Bodey got into grandmas sugar bowl. And look at that sugar bowl, I made it in pottery. Yes I am so talented- it's lop sided.

How could a vacation be complete without a little baseball?

Maddux was in heaven. There are no pictures of Pat, but he was in heaven too.

maddux, luke and shay.
sadly thats all i have. why wasnt i taking pics?

i ran into everyone and loved getting to see some old friends.

cache valley and everyone there, i love you. vacation i love you, i am so sad you are over.
