You guys, I am in my house. Tonight is our first night sleeping here and it feels crrrazzzyyy!! We moved in all week and weekend and of course the house is a disaster full of boxes and piles and piles of clothes to be put away. I feel overwhelmed by it all, but mostly very blessed to be in a new home. It will take time to settle in, but even laying here in my bed tonight I don’t care about all of the mess on the floor around me. This place feels like mine. My baby is in his new room tonight sleeping like a champ! I hope he feels like this place is his too. He LOVED it at his grandparent’s house for the past 6 months. And honestly so did we. As I walked out of the little place that was ours for those few months I broke down and cried. And even still if I think about it I cry because truth be told I loved living with my parents. And while I’m happy to be where I am now, part of me aches to not be there. Basically I’m kind of a baby. Especially because if you could see how far away we moved from them you’d make fun of me. It may or may not be a 5 minute drive.

Happy Monday!

Last weekend we went to a wedding and of course I had to get a few pictures of my handsome babe. Plus I love to dance and sing with him and a wedding is the perfect setting. I sing to him in crazy voices all the time! He loves it now but I’m sure as he gets older he will think I’m nuts. Well we finally have all of our stuff in the house!! Now comes the unpacking and organizing which is definitely the worst and hardest part of moving for me. I feel so overwhelmed looking at all the boxes I have to go through and find places for everything. We’ve been living in one bedroom for 6 months so I’m not used to so much stuff! It was pretty great to see all of my clothes and shoes that I had to pack away. I’ve only been living with a fraction of my clothes so I am THRILLED! I will be posting pictures hopefully Friday of the progress. I’m in LOVE with the house but right now it’s so messy and I have no desire to take pictures of it. Can’t wait to show you all though! I hope you’re having a great week! I better get to bed. I have a lot of unpacking to do in the morning!

We have been a bunch of sickies over here. Beau started it and passed it along to mom and dad. We got to take a lovely 3 hour nap on Sunday which was much needed. But unfortunately we’re still feeling that lingering sickness that’s been going around. It’s Thanksgiving week so let’s hope we kick this asap!  Even though I’m loving all these snuggles my baby has been giving me. For Thanksgiving with my in-laws I am in charge of making the sweet potato dish and I am kinda freaked out. I am so not a cook!! I’m not good at it and I don’t like it. Still I am determined to come up with something amazing so if any of you have good ideas or recipes PLEASE let me know!

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday! We are hoping to feel good enough to get out of sweats tomorrow. Thanks for reading!

Words can’t quite describe how happy we are that it’s Friday. Beau just started getting a cold and we are really looking forward to some extra naps and cuddle time (fingers crossed). Like I can’t get over the last picture of him snuggling my legs before bedtime! Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week? The holidays are so much fun, but even more so this year since we will be moving into our home within the next 2 weeks! I’m so giddy about it, but I’m also really going to miss seeing my parents every morning and I know Beau will be looking for them and yelling their names once we’re in the our new place. I so cherish the relationship he has with his Grandparents, so this move with be a little bittersweet. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I just purchased this as an early Christmas present to myself and can’t wait to figure out how to use it properly!

Thanks for reading, my friends!

This weekend we had a family date to look at the progress of our home and make a Costco run. Many of our dates end up at Costco these days since we like a cheap meal after we’ve spent all our money on bulk items. I’m obsessed with Costco’s ice cream and have to get one every time I’m there. But this time it was the consistency of milk, which is just not ok with me, so we stopped for ice cream on the way home. Blake didn’t want any and we didn’t want to get the baby out of the car so I ran in myself to get an enormous ice cream on a Saturday night alone. I’m sure everyone thought I was this loner getting ice cream by myself while everyone was there with their friends and dates, haha!

Our house is supposed to be finished on the 24th of November which seems impossible to me. I have the mentality now where I’ll just believe it when I see it because things have taken so much longer than expected already. It is so fun to see the progress move along and watch it all come together though. We have loved staying with my parents but we sure are ready to have a little more room!

Happy Monday everyone, thanks for reading!

Here’s a few progress pictures of our house, well mainly the kitchen I guess. It’s so exciting to think we’ll be living there soon! We are supposed to close by the end of the month and I can hardly wait!! Oh and in the top picture I am wearing this lipstick in the color homegirl. If you’re in to dark lips, you NEED it. Have such a wonderful weekend filled with all of your favorite things! I am going to visit my friend who just had twins!! I’m so excited to hold newborn babies again. I’m also hoping to get in a nap or two since daylight savings time really messes up Beau’s schedule. Having him wake up at 5:45 is starting to kill me! Happy happy Friday, thanks for reading!

Since my last week was not one of my best I’ve had in a while I was really looking forward to this last weekend. Of course it went by so fast I can hardly believe it’s over! Our weekend was busy with a Costco trip, the mall, a few other random things, and celebrating my mother-in-law’s 70th birthday. We ended our Sunday night watching our favorite show “The Walking Dead” and I was so upset by the episode I bawled for about 10 minutes. Do any of you watch that show? I’m obsessed with it but I was really mad about last nights episode. So now I have a serious case of the Monday’s and am really hoping to make this week a great one filled with lots of laughs, and a well behaved baby! He is pretty much the dang cutest thing ever. He has so many new words and loves when I say ‘ready….set….’ so he can yell “GO!!” I tell you this stage is SOOOO FUN, and also SOOO hard.

Have a happy Monday, thanks for reading!

We are really happy over here that it’s the weekend. It has really been a long week and we are ready for dad not to be at work! Baby B has definitely turned into a toddler and sure knows how to push mama’s buttons. He just loves to do whatever I say is a no no and then giggle like it’s the funniest to dump his cereal all over the floor. Sometimes I’m so ready to lose my cool and then he comes and gives me this enormous bear hug complete with a strong pat on the back and I’m all #thiskidkillsmeilovehimsomuch. He sure is mischievous but he knows how to make mama forget all about pulling every product out from under the sink with a toothy, slobbery grin.

These selfies are from us waiting to get my brows done. This babe gets dragged to my appointments against his will constantly 🙂 Have a great weekend! It’s finally feeling like fall here in Utah and I am happy about it!

I hope you guys had a great weekend! Ours was pretty wonderful besides that Beau threw his first HUGE tantrum last night. He of course has thrown little mini fits on occasion. But last night was full blown throwing himself on the ground and screaming like I’ve NEVER heard him scream. It was awful! Blake and I tried our best to calm him but we felt like the worst parents in the world in that moment. He finally calmed down after I rocked him outside and sang to him. And all of it was over him getting a water bottle taken away after he tried to dump it all over the floor. Sheesh! Being a parent is so hard sometimes. I know Beau will thrown more tantrums but this one was so bad that it scared me. He is usually such an easy going baby but I’m afraid we may be starting terrible two’s really early. Ahhhh!!! Anyway, have a wonderful Monday! We are on our way to Costco. Cross your fingers he won’t have a repeat of last night for me!
