Pictures anyone?

So I decided that I was going to post the most random post cause it's been literally months since I've posted pictures so in no particular order... pictures from Lance's Iphone :)

NO MORE FACEBOOK, BACK TO BLOGGING

I have decided that I am no longer going to be a facebooker. There are a lot of reasons for this decision. For one, if you have noticed I don't update my blog EVER which really bugs. Two, I waste more time on facebook than anyone could even imagine which is so embarrassing to admit and that REALLY bugs. I could be doing so many other GOOD things with my time than wasting my life away on that stupid thing. And lastly, there have been a few things that have happened recently on facebook that just make me SO angry. I won't go into any of that, but to all you dwindling blog readers of mine, know that I will no longer WASTE time on facebook and be more diligent in keeping my blog up to date with pictures of my cute little monkeys that are growing faster than I can even believe. The End.

How to survive....

I'm sure I have nobody looking at my blog anymore, but to those faithful lookers I'm here. Sorry no, pictures right now, but I will do my best to get some up on here soon. Life has been short of crazy, actually I'd go as far as, insane. Just when I get all settled in my new house I think life is just going to be steady, calm, settled. OH NO! News flash, that's now how life works. Lance is still trying to figure out what he wants to do when he grows up. Thirst Express (his business) is going fine. Some bumps along the way, BIG bumps that has caused him to try to figure out if it's something he wants to continue doing. He is actually in AZ right now testing the market there to see if it is an area he could build like the one he did here. He has been gone for 4 days and I am MISERABLE! If you all forget, I have 3 kids that are the best three kids anyone could ask for, but they are 4, almost 3 and 18 months and I also have been very involved in a business called Doterra. Not to mention a not so easy calling in church, a house to clean that is too big, laundry to keep up on and I could keep listing things but the main thing is is I am having this struggle within because I absolutely love doing Doterra and am having so much fun, but I also have three children that require ALL of my attention ALL the time. No breaks. It is this power struggle within that I should be 100% a mom and at the same time really want to spend the time doing Doterrra. With Lance being gone I am exhausted. In the 4 days I've had major melt downs at least 6 times. You do the math, that's one and a half melt downs per day. No good. I try to be supportive of Lance's endeavor in AZ, but am so overwhelmed here that every time he calls I bawl. I know, great wife, right? We'll see how these next few days go. If there is any advice out there of people who actually still look at my blog let me know.

GOING PRIVATE PRONTO!

If any of you would like to check up on our family here on this blog please leave your info (email/name). I all of the sudden freaked out about crazy people looking at my blog so decided at 2am that it was time. I will be going private SOON so please let me know who you are and I would love to add you to my list :)

OUR HOUSE!!! FINALLY!

So a little preface, we've been here for 3 weeks now so things are obviously a work in progress, but it is the most glorious thing to be in our house finally!!!! YAY! I don't have pictures of the kids rooms, give me a week or two and I'll get those taken care of. Enjoy the overload of pictures :)










Mudroom- PS, notice my fun magnet board in between the lockers. Love it!

My beloved splash pad. Best thing I did in this whole process! The kids live out there.


View from our deck.... AMAZING

Family pictures... WAHOO!

Family pictures with a 3, 2, and 1 year old was quite the adventure. Pretty much Lindsey is the bomb. She captured some amazing moments and pretty much Lindsey is the bomb. Did I say that already? Thanks Linds!!!!

PAUL MCCARTNEY... WOW...THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY

This concert was amazing. I am confident I will never see anything like it in my life time again. Lance and I left the kids with Dona and had such a good time. Paul is a freaking stud! I couldn't believe in his old age he could still sounded just like the back in the 60's. If anyone ever has the chance to go see him live, DO IT!

PS, I will be posting pictures of my new house soon. I know, the anticipation is killing you...

A little is better than nothing...

So, I realized that my camera has been dead in my car glove box for the last month now... I know, pathetic. So these are the events of our lives that I have right now. When I move into my house in a week... WAHOOOOOO, I promise to be a more regular blog updater. Two major events that we have here are

first: Bella graduated pre-school! She went to a cute little school here in Orem called Kid's Village. She loved it.

Cutest graduate of all

And this picture says it all. I think it's important to post pictures that aren't all perfect and every child smiling and looking at the camera. Cause come on people, we know that doesn't happen. So, here is my darling little family...


second: little Graham's surgery. Not fun. He was born with a condition called Hypospadias. Go ahead and look it up if you want to know what it is. Nothing too severe, but required surgery none the less. I put it off as long as I could and then finally mustered up the courage to schedule it. He did very well and the recovery was not bad at all. He only had a problem with his stent and that was only for one day... But it was horrible. He literally screamed all day and all night, nothing I could do to console him. The worst feeling ever. He is good as new now and his little peeper is working like a champ!



Sorry, pictures are posted backwards.... this is after the surgery


And this is pre-surgery...

ERRR I HATE GETTING BEHIND

I really do hate when I slack at blogging. I will have a random, but at least updated post by this weekend so check back in a couple days...

Never knew a statue of Chirst could be so funny....

So I was putting Graham down for a nap in my parents closet and on their shelf is a statue of Christ, I decided to show it to Graham and for some reason he thought it was the funniest thing. I have NEVER heard him belly laugh so hard in my entire life, it was hilarious! PS, this video is the third time around after I left the closet, went to go find Lance with the camera, and then having Lance record it once for it not to work and then finally the third time he got this video so this isn't even nearly what his laugh was the first time, but it's still pretty cute and funny.

"Graham" Cracker party!!!

We celebrated Graham's birthday in my parents backyard, it was perfect. We had a Graham Cracker themed party and roasted marsh mellows and had smores and Graham Cracker cake. Can't believe my baby is 1!!!!
