5 Months

Likes Baths, her grandparents, touching anything, sucking anything, being thrown up in the air, looking in the mirror, being tickled, Mickey Mouse, swinging in her swing or at the park, being outside, going on walks, holding the bottle, having mom stand while holding her, eating baby food… especially sweet potatoes, looking at Daddy through Facetime.

Dear Mom

Something has happened to me this year. When becoming a mother, I realized how much you gave up for your children. How much love you gave us, how much time and energy you spent on us, and how many prayers you said in our behalf. I really can’t express the words that I am feeling […]

Instagram Eyes

I really need to start pulling out my camera more often because my iPhone pics aren’t as high quality. But, here are snapshots of my life lately, according to Instagram. Sorry there are so many! Saying goodbye to T.J. Eva is trying lots of new foods. Bananas are not her favorite. Hannah had these beautiful […]

Emotional Week

This week has been pretty crazy. It started Tuesday morning when T.J. and went to the temple to do sealings. We were showing our recommends at the desk when the man told me my recommend had expired THAT day. It was May 1. I started crying immediately and telling my sad story of how my […]

Letting it out

It’s almost time for T.J. to leave us. I keep telling myself it’ll go fast. But I can’t tell you how many times I have melted down and had to say a prayer for strength. I know I’ll be okay. Life could be a lot worse and a lot harder. But right now, it just […]

Our Life Lately

And because the weather has been so nice, every day we have been outside. We’ve gone to parks, had picnics in the front yard, gone […]

Official Date

T.J. and I had his parents’ look after Eva Thursday evening so we could go out on a planned date. The only thing is, we couldn’t figure out what to do. We didn’t want to go to a movie because there’s not much out, so we just went to dinner and walked around Target. We […]

Newest Obsession: The Mentalist

T.J. and I have been working through the Mentalist seasons. We are on season 4 now… oh my gosh… I’m obsessed! I can’t stop talking about Red John. Have you guys ever seen the show? It reminds me of Monk but with a better looking main character. You will fall in love with the characters, […]

The time when T.J. and I got really sick…

Yesterday, T.J. and were in Salt Lake (a post about that will come later). We ate at the Red Rock Brewery and everything was very delicious. About two minutes after we had started driving home, T.J. told me he wasn’t feeling too great. He kept saying things like, “Hmmm… something is going on in there… […]
