I know I'm way behind on blogging everything, but I'll catch up later, maybe. We have been so busy. After our birthday's was our anniversary and I left to Arizona to visit my grand parents that day with Alissa. It was a fun relaxing vacation. I got home and then the next day we left for NYC which was a blast. Blake went back to school and since then we have been going on bike rides, camping, swimming, fishing and enjoying the summer in Ohio.
Tuesday we leave for Idaho and I am so excited!!! It is going to be so much fun. We will be busy there too. A vacation to Utah with the Jones', a baby blessing for Makenna, baby shower for Kristi, trip to Mexico with the Davis adults, Garrett's wedding and reception, 2 baptisms, family pictures and another wedding reception for Garrett. Are we going to be there until Christmas? Nope, we are doing all of this in only weeks. It is going to be so much fun! I do need to motivate myself to get ready to go. Our house needs to be ready to show since it is for sale. Right now it is in a continuous stage of chaos. Sewing stuff on the table. Ironing stuff on the kitchen counter, the couch is in front of the stairs as a baby gate, blankets on the floor and couch from Remi and Broden being cold in our 80+ degree house, dished in the sink, towels on the porch, laundry in the dryer, toys EVERYWHERE, dirty bathrooms and the list could go on and on.
Right now though, I am enjoying listening to Remi and Broden playing together. And watching Alissa play on the floor with toys instead of getting into the cupboards, or my sewing stuff, or the garbage, or the toilet paper, or climbing on the stairs or pulling on the computer cord. In a nutshell they are all being really good right now, so I'm sitting down enjoying watching instead of cleaning.
Anyway, I love being a mom. Some days are overwhelming, but I still wouldn't change anything. I'm trying to be better at laughing at what the kids are doing instead of crying about what I'm not getting done. It has been working for a couple days. I just need to keep the perspective that it won't matter in 10 years how clean my house was, but I do want to remember how much fun my kids had playing and how much fun I had with them.
Ok, I'm going to go clean now.
