So, in other words, you did absolutely nothing. ;)
It was good to see you at the mall, too. I missed you!
WOW!!!!! I think I love you! Your day is very similar to mine, minus the 45 minute run and crunches ! Nice to meet you, sister of the fantastic Brie! When written down, it is amazing to see how much we moms do!!!
I am now off to clean up the throw up on the couch...never a dull moment.
But, yes...blessed.
curious...the beautiful b&w photo of your family..is that the same location where Stephanie Nielson took her photos??? It is beautiful.
Laura, Fun to meet you to! You seem to be such a fab mom and such a good friend to BRie! :)
Yes the pictures on my blog were taken by WEndy Whitacre who took Nie-Nie's family pics. I saw Stephanies pics and fell in LOVE! I researched her photographer and begged her(through email and text) to take mine. She was coincidentally coming to the Provo Apple Orchards the next day and squeezed me in...loved her for that! The first time I actually love my fam pics too! Small world huh!
Oh my gosh, you are OUT OF CONTROL. I've always admired your strength and energy. I know I couldn't do everything you do in a day. Just know I will always forever be in AWE of what you do! You're the best mommy and wife.
p.s. Just pretend...(for my sake) that Mason is still a baby. I prefer to keep Blake a baby forever :(
Do you want to know what impresses me the most? That you did three loads of laundry and...AND you put them away. I just feel accomplished getting it all down to the washing machine, forget putting it all away that day too!
Thanks for the photo info! I immediately got onto her website. I will need to come to Utah because I want that amazing location!!! (of course, my kids would be frowning or crying or fighting...!)
Laura, Wendy is so good at what she does, it may be worth your trek to Utah :)and yes,I hate fam pics..they are stressful! Honestly, we do not have one good family pic b/c I have a baby who will never smile or is crying so I soooo relate to you!
Emily, I love hearing your long lost voice! I miss you. HEy you need to join facebook so I can see pics of your cute boys...everyone is on there...just waiting for YOU!!
