{My Greatest Blessings}





The other day, we were getting ready to leave and Jett was in his carrier in the family room. I put Derek in the car and ran in to get Jett. Blake was touching his face and he said, 'Jett, I just want you to know that you are the sweetest thing in my life and I love you so much'. It was the most precious thing ever!
My kids are so sweet(most of the time)! The end of the summer has been pretty rough. I have been nursing non-stop and the kids have been so bored and with that boredom comes lots of fighting, tattling, whining, and crying. I have not been the most patient mom. Now that school is starting, I am realizing how much I am going to miss all the chaos! I love Ethan, Kylie, Blake, Derek, and Jett more than anything in this whole world. How lucky I am to be the mother of these perfect, sweet, beautiful, smart and loving little blessings. I am so happy that they chose me to be their mommy!

{Back to School!!!}



School started on Monday for Ethan and Kylie. I was pretty happy to have them back in school. I was a little sad to have Ky start kindergarten. Probably because she is my only girl. Blake starts preschool again on Tuesday and I will only have Derek and Jett at home. Yea!!! I think Derek will love it, no having to share me so much. Ethan is in scouts and is starting guitar lessons again, and Ky has dance and tumbling. It will be super nice to have some structure again. It has been a zoo here since Jett came and I can't wait for things to be somewhat 'normal' again.

{Sweet, Sweet Boy}





I LOVE THIS BABY BOY!!!

{JDRF Walk}






Yesterday we walked in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation walk for a cure. We had a great time. They had it at Wheeler Farm in Salt Lake. The kids all got pony rides and they had bounce houses and a rock climbing wall. We had a little picnic of hot dogs and chips. My mom, Jamie, Brian, Abby and Bryson came to join in the festivities. When we were leaving, they announced that they had raised over $618,000. Thanks so much to everyone who donated!

{Date Night}


Adrian and I went on a hot date last night! Jamie watched the kids and we took Jett with us. We went to Gateway and ate at Biaggis. Then we walked around and shopped a little. Gap Kids was having a jean sale, so we got jeans for Ky and Derek and I got super cute sweats at Abercrombie. It was so good to get out and spend some time together. Thanks again Jamie for listening to Ky cry and taking such good care of Ethan! Next week is your turn!

{Splashpad II}







So, we went to the Splashpad again today. We went with Jamie and Abby and Bryson and our friend Becky and her little girl, Bailey. The kids had a great time playing in the water. The little ones didn't stay in the water very long, they just wanted to sit and eat. Jett was a very good boy. He is so good when we go places, he just loves to look around and take it all in.
I'm trying to cram in some fun days in the sun before school starts on Monday. Hooray!!!
