Its been a long time since I posted anything, but I really haven't been in the mood. Hormones do make you cranky and i think I must have an extra bad case of them at this point, but can you blame me?
I was put on bed rest from the beginning of may and haven't been able to do much, but just lay sideways on my couch thinking of the millions things i should be doing instead.
That's me getting all mad as Spencer decides to take the kids out to the mall and the Toy Store to look at things while i have to lay down on that couch.
I've discovered a couple of things while I've been home alone
#1 My cat snores louder than me, indeed pets resemble their owners :)
#2 My new best friend is the Ipod I got for my birthday last year. At the time I thought it was a cool gadget and nothing else, but as days have gone by, without been able to move away from that darn couch, I am so happy to have this Ipod near by.
#3 This one is a shocker. My favorite link to browse: Ksl classifieds. Can you blame me. I found a great deal on a baby stroller and car seat. 1/3 of the retail price of a new set. We needed a new one since my hubby "accidentally" ran over ours with his car while I was in Ecuador.
I am still waiting for that perfect deal on my dream dining room set, patio set and swing set though, someday they will show up
Little A.D. is just not making it easy for me. He wants to come out and enjoy the world, even if that means means giving his mommy constant contractions, making her bleed and depriving her of her sleep at night.
Despite all of this, we can truly count our blessings. While I am on bed rest, people from the ward have been taking care of my kids. We are truly grateful with all of you who take the time to put up with our kids and even feed them dinner. I can not express our sense of gratitude towards all of you.
There are times when my pain is so exhausting that It is just a blessing to see my kids go to a friend's house, but there are other times where my heart just misses them so much and I find myself ready to start crying the moment they walk out of my door.
I really can't imagine my life without those two sillies, they make it all worth it.
The kids have been able to have some nice adventures even wothout their mommy
Grave Visiting
On Saturday my mother and father in law took the adventure of their lives and decided to drive my kids to Cache Valley. Most of Spencer's family are buried in cementaries up there, so grandma and grandpa took my two kiddos to see the graves.
I am not sure how Julia and Josh did, but this is what they told me.
"mommy grandpa took us to this long. long, long super long drive (not exaggerating) through the mountains to see great-grandpa, but when we got there he wasn't there, no one was there, we just left them flowers."
Of course I have no pictures of their adventure, but I am sure it was a pretty darn good one.
Julia's preschool graduation
On the 25Th of May Julia had her little graduation from her joy school. It was adorable and amazing to see how much she has grown and learn in this short period of time. Spencer just kept repeating "so it begins" The non-stop graduation ceremonies and parties..It's true and sure we'll see our good share of those in the years to come.
Here is a picture of my girl on her first day of school and one at her graduation
We are so proud of her, She is a smart little bug and we just can't wait to continue to see her grow and become more amazing than what she already is.
Memorial Day
On memorial day, my in-laws treated us for breakfast to the Golden Corral. My goodness food tasted so delicious that day. Especially when all you had had for breakfast for the past weeks had been cold old cereal. I was in HEAVEN with my glass of orange juice, hash browns and my veggie Omelet.
Julia loved having her little cousins there with her.
After that we spend the day at the grandparent's house waiting while Spencer went golfing with the brothers and his dad. He loves those games, even more when he wins, but i guess this time he was content with a tied-game.
Later on we had a B-B-Q. Julia and Josh were just making the best out of their time.
After grandma was done planting outside. Josh decided why not be like grandma? it looks easy enough. All you do is steal her shoes and wear them, keep that silly straw hat balanced on your head and grab that spraying thing to dig things with and ...presto, here you have him a complete impersonation
Picnic-ing on our backyard
With all this rain it's been impossible to do much outside, but just last week the kids and I were in the right mood to go out our back yard and enjoy and nice picnic.
We had hot dogs, lemonade, watermelon and of course not meal can be complete without dessert, so we had some fruit snacks.
I had a blast just laying down on the picnic blanket and watching my kids run, tackle each other and laugh. I love this sweet moments
