Actually writing a post

I have been neglectful in actually writing updates on here. I love to put pictures but I have looked back and there is not a lot written about what I have been up to. Maybe that is because pretty much the pictures tell the story. Mom of 2. What else have I been doing? Experimenting on different methods for keeping my house clean. Have yet to be successful. Trying to find new ways to entertain my extremely active 2 year old. Trying to figure out how to fit working out into my schedule. Going to Costco and and not being able to resist the chocolate covered almonds. Doing primary stuff (2nd counselor) I was given the "great opportunity" (ie no one else said yes)to write the program for our primary sacrament meeting which is just a little bit intimidating. What else oh feeding a growing baby at her 2 month appointment she was 11lbs 4oz and 23 1/2 inches. That's about it. I am about to attempt to start and finish reading a book. We will see how that goes.

Yes I know the time I spend reading I could be doing a workout. So I pledge in 2 months I will post a picture of myself on here in the mean time you will just have to endure the endless pictures of my cute kids.

Change is good?

A lot has changed in my life in the past 4 months. 4 months! I can't believe that Alexis has been around that long already. We haven't moved which you would think would be not a change but I am pretty sure that we will not be moving out of our current house for a while. This is a big change for me because 3 months ago this house was for sale. 2 kids is a big change. Not as difficult of a change like some people made me think. I love having both. they are very different and that makes things so fun. I do have days where I think how can do everything for both children. The post baby body is a big change. I need some motivation to get back in shape. I love to work out but finding time with the above noted 2 children change is difficult. I have started doing these great videos my mom bought they are 10 minute workouts. The biggest change is Jared's new "job". He is now officially self-employed" no more steady paycheck and benefits. We are on our own. Which will hopefully be an extremely positive change. But right now it is 12-13 hour days and not seeing him at all. I think he is liking what he is doing and is less stressed about work, so that is a really good change. Hopefully more good changes to come I'll keep you posted.

PS This was in draft for a really long time but I wanted to put it in just for me for history sake.

"Astramont" Jake

We went to this great children's museum in Ogden yesterday with my sister and I think Jake found his calling in life. All we have done since we got home is look at the "astramont" pictures. Doesn't he look like he could have starred in space chimps?

Happy 24th of July

Not that we did anything exciting we just went to my sisters for a bbq. But I found this cute outfit and I made the bow for Alexis. Jake didn't get a cute outfit but he had a great time throwing poppers with grandpa. He kept telling grandpa how the fireworks were "soooo cool".

Best Costco shopping trip ever!!!!!!!!!!!

Cousin play day

You can see how much fun Alexis had




So much fun trying to catch minnows!!

The "beach" or as close to one as we will get this summer
