My cousin Julee Truley had a baby girl last Thursday. Her name is Kelsee Rose!! We are so exctied for Her and her family. They have endured so much throughout the past few years and we are glad for Kelsee's sweet and safe arrival!! Congrats! Thanks for the pictures Aunt Judy!
While my mom was here we decided to go to the Tautphaus Park Zoo. My twin sister Traci and her new husband, Gary came up from Utah to go with us too!
We finally convinced Kaydree to stand next to the tiger! Kaydree and Grandma Brayden just loves these Monkeys every time!! Petting the Goats Traci and Gary
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and have come to the conclusion that it's potty training time for Kaydree. She knows a little too much about a certain topic and so we are moving on up. I started yesterday and after 2 agonizing hours...it came. Potty that is. After that she just wouldn't do it. I have myself doing things I said "I" would never do. But when it comes to just how badly I want it I just had to give in. After potty dances, stickers, treats, charts, the thought of Grandma coming, and big girl panties she gave in to the potty once again today...Here's the proof! Ha! Kind of a gross proud mommy moment. I know. But we'll see.......
"We women have a lot to learn about simplifying our lives. We have to decide what is important and then move along at a pace that is comfortable for us. We have to develop the maturity to stop trying to prove something. We have to learn to be content with what we are.
As you create a home, don’t get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don’t dwell on your failures, but think about your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey."
Austin and I met April 16th 2004 and were married March 4th 2005 in the Idaho Falls Temple and we're still loving it 8+ years later, 4 children, 1 dog, 8 moves, 5 cities, and 6 vehicles later. We enjoy spending time together as a family. Besides blogging and being a wife and mommy, I also love working out, doing anything outdoors, making crafts and organizing/decorating!
