A few reasons to feel grateful & blessed.

*These three. Not the best photo, but a great moment in time. Jon, Kaylee & Regan are my biggest reasons to feel grateful & blessed. 🙂
*Jon’s awesome multi taking skills. (playing with Kaylee, snuggling Regan, & programing)
*The gospel.
*Our family. They really are such a blessing to us. Both sides are more than wonderful.
*Our friends & ward members.
*That Kaylee was born first. Regan is a cake walk compared to our feisty little miss. She really broke us in with the constant screaming. (We wouldn’t change a thing about her.)
*Our home, love, & life.

Kaylee playing this little piggy on Regan. Even though he didn’t enjoy it, we thought it was very cute. She loves her “ReeRee” so much. She even shares her Lamby with him when he is upset. This is delightfully gross & shocking as Lamby is NEVER shared with anyone.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving tomorrow and a wonderful weekend.

NEEDING to vent.

It’s Gone! I’ve looked everywhere for the past three weeks. Church, cars, my entire house got turned upside down. Everywhere in between…. So I’m calling it. It’s lost for good and never coming back. I am so beyond bummed. My sling was literally my life saver. It was the best second set of hands ever. Kaylee has lived in this thing for over a year, and I was so looking forward to using it with Regan. Kaylee loved the sling and would often get it out of the diaper bag and bring it to me so I could wear her. Yes I still carried her in it baby belly and all. It holds up to 35 lbs. and she’s not even 19 lbs. I loved the color, the fabric, having a variety of carrying positions, everything about it. It was so nice being able to clean, cook, do laundry, use the bathroom, or hold her for long stretches of time without killing my arms or back. Everything takes at least twice as long when you only have one hand. And even if we had the $40 to spend, I’d be mad at having to spend it for something I should not have lost. Let’s face it $40 goes a long way when you are poor. And I’m one of those people who hates having to spend money over and over on the same thing (except food and diapers of course). I like getting the most bang for my hubbies hard earned money. It’s part of the getting to be a stay at home Mommy. OK there, I’m done! I’ll get over losing my spare hands eventually…. maybe.

Two of the luckiest girls in the world…

We have the best man in existence. Jon was up most of last night taking care of his girls. We were both pretty miserable. Kaylee was all itchy (another flare up of her fabulous skin) and was having a hard time sleeping even with benadryl. Jon said she kept scratching. So sad. So Jon was up with her so I could try and get some sort of sleep. He had to drug both of us a couple of times before everyone was out for the night. Then he still went to work even though he’s all sleep deprived. Amazing right? We love him, and are so glad he takes such good care of us. He must really like us to give up on a night of sleep to make us feel better. 🙂 How lucky are we to have such an awesome man for a Husband and Daddy?
