Summer Fun

I have so many pictures of our summer so far I decided to do collages. Enjoy!

Are dreams just that?

So I've got Jon a little upset with me (in a joking way) because the last two nights I have had clearer dreams than I've had in like forever. So the first night, I had a dream that Jon was called as a general authority, but all of our kids were all grown up. I didn't tell him this part, but part of it, my dad was also called as a general authority with him. My dad part could be likely. And then the next night I had a dream that we had another baby, it was a girl, and she looked exactly like Kaylee and Abbie combined. I told Jon it was a sign, he didn't like that. He is not ready for another one yet, and actually I don't think I want another one quite yet... maybe in about a year or so. But that dream got me really thinking... are dreams just dreams, or could it be a way of telling you something you are supposed to hear and that is the only way to get through to you... obviously not about the general authority thing, but the baby thing... its got me thinking and confused. I mean I saw this baby clearer than day, all of her features... it was pretty cool.

My baby is walking!

Abbie decided she wanted to start walking yesterday. She just stood up and started walking. My kids are very stubborn, so they will not do anything unless they make up their mind and decide what they want to do. I can't even believe how big and grown up she is getting so fast. It didn't seem like Kaylee grew up so fast, and she even started walking at 9 months. I hate how fast kids grow up!

Terrible night

Last night was the worse night I have had in the longest time!!! I went to bed, but could not sleep for the life of me. I had a pounding headache that wouldn't go away and I couldn't sleep. Then both the girls kept waking up and crying. So I was going crazy, I was like "Just go to sleep already and be quiet!" So then I felt really bad because I finally fell asleep and Kaylee started throwing up like crazy! I couldn't believe how much she threw up! Then I realized I had run out of laundry detergent yesterday! So I went to walmart at 3:30 this morning to buy laundry detergent and 7-up. After that, we finally all fell asleep! I slept until 9 and the girls slept til 10. I felt really bad for getting so mad at Kaylee for crying. She was just so sick!! It's these MOM MOMENTS that are so awful, but also help you grow as a mother, so I am thankful for these little MOM MOMENTS no matter how absolutely awful it is!

Birthday surprise!

Ever since we got married almost five years ago, Jon hasn't really done anything for me for my Birthday or Mothers Day, or any holiday really. We don't even go on dates ever. So this year for my Birthday he went all out and surprised me. First we went and ate dinner at the Grey Cliff Lodge- which was really yummy, especially their oatmeal pie! Then we stayed in the Alaskan Inn (where I've got better sleep than I have since I have had kids, I seriously crashed once I got there. It was so nice not having to get kids ready for bed!) Then the following day we went out to Antelope Island and went on a two hour horse ride. It was fun, I like horseback riding, but definitely do not love it. But it was fun with Jon. After the horseback riding we went on a dinner cruise on the Great Salt Lake. The dinner cruise was nice because there was only 14 people total, and the food was amazing, we had prime rib!! Plus we got to see the sunset which was absolutely beautiful! Jon went to so much effort to make my birthday special this year, and he did a good job! My birthday actually fell the next day, which was Sunday, so my mom made us an awesome dinner! She was so sweet, she got on the internet and researched my food allergies, and centered the whole meal around my food allergies! It was actually very good, we had steak, rice, fruit, and veggies. Then for dessert she made me a cake with rice flour and no eggs, but the first time she forgot to put the sugar in, so she remade it, and the second time forgot the oil. Surprisingly, it was very good even without the oil, it was just more dense. She also made me chocolate ice-cream out of rice milk, that too tasted really good. I think this was one of my best birthdays because so many loved ones went to so much effort to make it nice!! Thank you Jon and Mom! I love you both!! (Jon I love you a lot more though! No offense mom)

Troy's Graduation

So the youngest of us Loves finally graduated high school. Troy graduated on Friday May 30 from Northridge High. He has the potential to do awesome things in life, as long as he puts his mind to it! Good job Troy! I am so proud of you!
