Life with a 9 month old

Our little busy bee is becoming more and more mobile! He stands & squats all on his own now! He crawls so fast I can barely keep track of him! He took his first solo step last Friday but has yet to try again without assistance, but boy is he getting quick when he is

Christmas 2018

We celebrated Oliver’s first Christmas & our first Christmas as a family of 3!! We decided to celebrate on our own a few days before Christmas because we were heading down to Arizona for two weeks for the break. We really wanted to start some of our own traditions and share this special time as

Roadtripping with a Newborn

This past weekend we took our one month old on a ten hour road trip from Utah to Arizona! Go ahead and call us crazy but it was actually really fun! We went down to surprise our Moms for Mother’s Day. Here are some things we did that made this trip awesome! 1. We broke

One Month of Motherhood

One month. Have you ever felt that time goes so fast and so slow at the same time? The days pass on pretty slow because I am tracking every hour. Has he eaten? When was the last time he pooped? But then somehow it’s a new week! This past month has been like nothing I

Welcome Oliver! Our Birth Story

Mr. Oliver made his grand debut April 10th at 7:54pm! I really loved my labor and delivery, once we were finally in the hospital! I started early labor at almost 38 weeks.

Packing for the Hospital!

I always think it is better to be OVER prepared then under prepared! So that is the approach that we took packing our hospital bag! We are the crazy people that have had our bag packed for two weeks now and we just hit 38 weeks! When I say OVER prepared…I mean it! haha! Since

I Love Being Pregnant #32weeks

I love being pregnant! and I’m dead serious. I’m sure you don’t hear that very often. And I promise you it is not because this pregnancy has been a breeze. I have gone through crazy morning sickness (really all day sickness), unbelievable nausea, pressure, a torn muscle, exhaustion beyond compare, allllways hungry, heartburn, and my

ohhh Valentine’s Day! Does anyone else remember the cute little mailboxes you would get during elementary school filled with cartoon or Disney Channel valentines? Those were the days! Then there were the awkward stages of valentines, namely Jr. High and High school. Either you got nothing or some cryptic note from a “secret admirer.” At

BABYMOON

For our last getaway as just us two, we decided to go San Francisco! I had never been to Northern California and it had been a few years since Kyle had been back there. We went right before Christmas, and I highly recommend going that time. There were giant Christmas trees everywhere and all the

GOALS

I am one of those weirdos that LOVES keeping a planner, scheduling my weeks/months, making lists, but especially setting goals! The new year is always an exciting time for me because it’s a blank slate! A time to reflect and be grateful but to also decide how I want this “blank slate” to be filled.
