on friday night we braved the ward campout! in a tent!
pretty much, everything and anything i have ever failed at as a mother, has been erased..
i prayed all night that i would be able to just lay there. i wasn't asking to sleep. just be able to handle my poor hips, and the throbbing!...
at 3 am, i was POSITIVE that tyler was going to be late for work. (he had to leave at 630am to get to work)... haha
anyways, we made it. and during the night all i could see was lyns little head poking out of her pink mummy sleeping bag. cute.
she had so much fun.
then, right when tyler got off work, around 1pm we jumped in the car, and headed to rexburg for Sanette's 50th birthday!
we spent the evening with all tylers siblings (minus tanner) and his parents.
then sunday, we made the trek back home..with a pit stop in Lava.. one of my favorite places on earth. it was gorgeous..the leaves are stunning right now.
we made it home around 10pm..and monday i was so exhausted!
but.. i got all the camping crap picked up..then all the trip crap put away and even had some energy to spare to have our friends over for dinner/family night! plus a run in that mix too.
so! today (tuesday)... i have been really exhausted! first day in a lonnngggg time where i changed out of workout clothes, into sweats! but. i has felt good... we needed a day like today. and the weather was gloomy and rainy anyways, so it was perfection. now to the photo's!
lyn..about 30 min into our car ride to rexburg. camping had her pooped!
spiderman princess pretending to climb up the wall haha. she loves this picutre, and asks to see it all day long.
spider man princess.
me and mom took the kids to the park last week. the weather here is so nice right now!
belly shot. very attractive! 7 months.
even better.
today was her first time bringing the treat bucket to school..
the excitement was halarious. oh the joys of princess fruit snacks.
she really wanted to walk in the rain..i did not however. so we drove. i love those curls.
the other morning eating pancakes. i was listening to her, and she didnt know it. she was very sweetly trying to coax a fly to be killed by her saying, "come here little fly..i'm not gonna hurt ya....i just wanna hurt ya..." haha i was dying laughing. the things she says these days! oh and gotta love that bed head!
she suffered her first bee sting last week at grandma's. i watched it all go down..and was horrified for her! no swelling though. so she's not allergic! yay. here she is, with some magic baking soda stuff on it. poor thing..i'm amazed everytime she sustains an injury at how physically tough she is. hardly any tears after the inital shock of the being stung.
these are from me and ty's mountain biking adventure a few weeks ago.
good morning to us girlies after roughing it in the wilderness all night. we both got some serious bedhead goin on!
ive decided it's time to fork out the cash for a few shirts for the next 2 months...lyn was all, "uh...mom, you're too big now." haha
she's into "pretend" these days. i caught her with this set up playing school today. pretty dang cute.
more biking.
lyn and grandpa at breakfast in rexburg. she was super sad to see him go!
here's a video that is too funny.
that was alot.
also..on a un/very related note:
my heart has been super FULL the past few days.
and today, while on the treadmill, listening to a few conference talks, i was just overwhelmed with emotion.
my heart is so full of gratitude, and love. love from inside of me for my family, and a powerful love from my Heavenly Father. for me, and for lyn, and for tyler, and for our new little one.
we are so blessed.
i literally stand all amazed at the goodness of God. and i will never know or understand the "whys" to all the blessings we receive, everyday.
but i am so thankful.
with every part of my being, i know that He lives, and loves me.
remember tyler's little cousin, clara?
she's not doing well, and she may be finally ready to leave this earth.
i don't understand everything about God's plans for his children..and i certainly have heartache and confusion when it comes to this sweet, perfect 3 year old girl, and the amount of suffering she has had to endure in her short 3 years on this earth.
but, i could never doubt that families can be together forever...and that brings light, and peace to this terrible circumstance.
i know that natasha and brian could use prayers for their family at this time.
++++++++++++++
on a totally unrelated note:
tyler and lynley just drove up with big smiles..because they found a bunny.
please, how do make this NOT happen?!?!!???
a bunny.
oh boy.
