I have so much to write about and zero time and energy to do it.
Obviously 3 kids is killing me. I'm going to try and recap the last
month as best I can.
This girl is crazy. She was potty trained, now she's not. She was in a big girl bed, now she's not. Ugh. She was my perfect angel, now she's not. Baby Ivy definitely shook things up around here and my number one priority is sleep. So that meant putting Carly back in her crib so she couldn't get out of bed and come wake me up at all hours of the night. Good thing she's cute.
Ivy and I (and my awesome helper and travel companion, Sara) took a trip to Beaver to meet 3 very special people; Grandma Fern, Aunt Jenni, and cousin Harlow! I love this picture of Ivy with my grandma. And I love watching Jenni be a mom! It was a great day and I'm glad we did it.
A surprise visit from my sister and her kids! They went way out of their way to come see us and I'm so glad they did. I love those kids and I never get to spend enough time with Mel. Thanks for coming!!!
Easton is also crazy. He and Carly are CONSTANTLY fighting and 99% of the time he is the cause of it. I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with the fact that I have sort of ignored them for 4 months and they have had to fend for themselves...but still, it's kinda ridiculous. He's almost done with kindergarten and I'm sad about it because it has been so fun. In this picture you can also see our awesome new van! I thought it would be so fun for Easton and I to wash it together, and it was...but the car looked way worse afterward than it did before. Stupid Vegas water.
Ahh and Aunt Jill. She made the trip from Seattle and left ALL her kiddos behind just so she could come and spoil us. She played with the kids all day and snuggled my Ivy whenever she got a chance. A few things we (she) did:
* went to the park
* made crowns
* played legos/star wars/big scary bear/tea party
* rode the carousel (the one at the outlet mall. For you Vegas people, they closed the one at the District)
* girl trip to the Bellagio for gelato
*pizza party
* played lego star wars on the wii with Easton
I'm sure there's more. She's incredible and we had a fabulous weekend!
And then there's this girl. She learned to smile and sleep a little longer. Emphasis on little. We love her to pieces. We just got done with her blessing and had more family come to visit for that. That will be a post of its own though. Probably next month...
