Can’t keep up..

I don’t know if it is having three kids, or summer, or selling our house, or just life, or the combination of all…but I just can’t keep my head above water.

 

I feel like for the last 3 and a half months my house is a mess, my kids are a mess, and I am a mess. I feel like I am constantly busy and moving, but nothing gets done.

I’m starting to feel so overwhelmed. Maybe three kids really does break you.

Every week, I think, if I can just get through this week of craziness, I can settle down and focus on tackling the things I let go that week, and then another crazy weeks presents itself and I just get farther behind. Whether it is sickness, a vacation, trying to get the house ready for show for an unexpected showing, school starting, babysitting, parties, and just life, there is always something.

Not to mention, I am just tired ALL THE TIME! Getting up at 7:00 to get Eli to school is killing me.

I obviously, wouldn’t trade all this craziness (aka, my kids) for anything, but I would love to be able to just feel like I have a handle on things again.

Maybe someday. Maybe someday.

Noteworthy

A few noteworthy things happened in our home the last few days…

Two lost teeth, which equals two dollars for this stud muffin.

We realized again, what wonderful family we have as they supported us in giving a name and a blessing to this little sweetie.

First day of preschool for this little social butterfly. She was on cloud nine ALL day!

We officially listed our house. So a load of stress and lots of decisions for these two crazies!

So if you know of anyone interested in living in a great neighborhood in Lehi, send them our way.

A real Date

I love live music by this guy:

I love my Country:

I love this hot guy:

I love fireworks:

 And I love good babysitters:

So of course I LOVED my date last night at the Stadium of Fire, which combined all of them!!

Thanks, Ry for the date! It was a wonderful surprise!!

Freeze!!

Oh, how I wish I could freeze time!!!

My kids are just the perfect ages, and  I wish I could stop time and just really enjoy it.

Eli is still my little guy. I feel like once he starts 1st grade he will no longer be my little boy. He will be gone all day and I won’t be able to spend as much time with him and have my little helper around. He will probably get a bigger attitude, and bring home more negative behaviors that the world shows him. He will be so big.

So I want to freeze time so school doesn’t start and he can stay my little boy.

 

Hallie will start preschool in the fall. She can hardly wait. She will be gone 3 days a week, two hours a day. I am pretty sure that once she walks in the door to school she will realize how big the social world is. She will never want to come home and be my little girl anymore.

So I want to freeze time, so she won’t realize all the friends she is missing, and I can still be her best friend.

 

Little Evie is growing so fast. Before I know it she will be rolling, crawling, wiggling all over the place and exploring her world.

So I want to freeze time so she will stay my little peanut and snuggle me all day.

Time goes too fast. I wish I could freeze time so that I could enjoy their sweet innocence just a little longer.

I just don’t want my dirty house to stay frozen too.

Evie Tia

Our little Evie is here!!

She was a healthy 7 ponds 11 ounces and 19 inches long!

She is so precious and VERY VERY loved!!!

Especially by her big brother. He cannot get enough of her!

We love having her sweet personality in our home!

Mother’s Day Tea

May 14-

My mom loves to have little tea parties with the grand kids. But for Mother’s Day she decided she would invite all the mom’s to have a tea party too.

It was so cute. We dressed up and ate little sandwiches, scones, and chocolate covered strawberries, and drank lemonade from tea cups.

Eli told me it was his favorite tea party has ever had.

Shirts to Dye for

May 13-

Ryan’s cousin, Cheri and I decided it would be fun to make tie-dye shirts with our kids.

Wow!! Talk about a messy project. There was dye everywhere, despite my best efforts to control the situation.

The kids had fun and the shirts turned out pretty cute.

It was a nice warm day, so we turned the sprinkler on under the trampoline and let the kids get all wet.
