Two Years!

I can't believe we've already been here for two years! AND I can't believe we've only been her for two years. Time is strange isn't it? But one thing for sure, we love our life here. 

LANDO
His schedule this week was soooo nice. I'm glad he had a little break. He still got home every day at six. He put Jax to bed alone Tuesday-Friday. He is such a good dad. He is also loving working with the missionary program. I'm just proud of him all around and I love him more every day! 

BECS 
Jax and I had a fun field trip to the museum. We had a review week for preschool. And had some play dates. I had busy evenings! Missionaries on Monday, baptism and young women's on Tuesday, Relief Society activity on Wednesday, temple on Thursday, and hanging with my mom Friday night. 

I listen to "conversations" and "gospel solutions" on the Mormon channel every day. This week I heard something I LOVED! Elder Holland said that there are three things we take with us to the next life, "Our Character, Our Covenants, and Our Family Relations!" I want to have that be my focus for the next while or the rest of my life. I love it!!! 

JAX
Is the best thing in our life every day. He is having preschool/playing friends in the morning, one field trip/mommy-jax day a week! He does quiet time every afternoon. He can pick out books and toys and then has to stay in one place by himself for an hour. It's been good to get that "nap time" back for me. AND I'm proud of him for creating things to do on his own. He is learning, happy, loving, caring, and obedient! He melts my heart!! 

US
My nephew josh was baptized this weekend. So proud of him. We all went and to dinner last night which was fun. We played Disney scene-it for a couple hours too. I love my little family :).   






Quiet time like this for an hour! He's amaZing! 








He did quiet time on the bed and I found him like this forty minutes later

Just the Two of Us

"... We can make it if we try... Just the two of us:)!" I sing that song in my head sometimes when it's me and jax. (Which is always). But lately I have felt like it's just me and jax doing our own thing. And I know we will make it cause we have Landon and quiet a bit of heavenly help as well:). The song should be changed to, "just a bunch of us."

Landon leaves too early in the morning to talk about and then he comes home around six. He is on an OBGYN rotation. I had young women's, visiting teaching(twice), a girls night, and a presidency meeting in the evenings this week. Landon studied in the evenings, all evening and then went to bed.

Saturday was filled with Ward Mission meetings and organization, studying til five. All while I cleaned and jax and I visited our friends.  Oh and Landon falling asleep on the family room floor at 10:34. Tired guy! 

Pretty chill week I guess! 













New shades from Mama & Papa W! I fell in love with them when we were in AZ and they surprised me with them!

Who Knew Weeks Could Be THIS Good!

We had such a good week! Seriously one of the best ever. As a little girl I always dreamed and imagined what my life would be like. We all did right? I, however, never dreamed about my wedding day, or my wedding dress. I didn't plan the flowers or the shoes. I didn't think about the pictures or the colors. And to be totally honest I never really thought a lot about the guy(though I think about him non stop now:)!!).

No. When I day dreamed, when I imagined, when I planned and created my world as a grown up, I dreamed of being a mom and I dreamed of my kids. All 8 of them!! Yep, I wanted 8 kids and I wanted to live in a fixer up. I may want a little nice house now though:). 

This week, I felt like I was living the life I imagined I would live all my life. Seriously, there were multiple moments where I thought, I imagined this exact moment. I saw this exact moment. It was awesome. I think it was my interactions and what  I did with jax and how I treated him that made me feel this way. And ultimately how we got along.

 I started preschool. A was for Apostles and Airplanes. B was for Baptism and Baseball. And our field trip was swimming. Every moment felt magical to me. Stupid I know, but such a great week I'm telling you. Now we can say, "Jax Jesus calls...." And he will say "12 apostles" and I will say "jax when you turn 8, you can get..." And he'll say, "Baptized." Then he'll say, "me put my head in water. Daddy. Eight. Water. Hair wet. Jesus. Water." Watching him learn, experiencing life with him, made me so incredibly happy. C, D, and E here we come :). 

Landon had to be to the hospital every morning  at 4:45. Eesh. Including Saturday. He's one exhausted boy. One Saturday, after he came home from the hospital, we gutted out backyard and planted grass. It was one of the greatest Saturdays. I felt like that was also something I always imagined, chores and yard work on Saturdays. AWwwweee. What a great week. Love my life. 

Sunday was of course wonderful as always. Meetings. Church. Sacrament. Missionary class. Young Women. BYC. Argentina lost :(. Friends for dinner. Meeting new people. Landon asleep by  9:45pm. Another 3:45am wake up call for him tomorrow. I love him!!!! So proud of him:).

The end.
