*Skip this first paragraph if you don’t want to hear complaining* No one warned me motherhood would involve this much crying, not only by the kiddos, but by myself personally. Some days I am just totally at wits end and falling apart. I keep blaming it on being 30 weeks pregnant, hormonal, and unable to sleep. Jason just returned from a… Read more →

White Christmas
Merry Christmas! We had a wonderful white Christmas in Utah this year with some existing snow, and another 5-6″ that fell Christmas Eve/Morning. After weeks of being sick with colds, a round of antibiotics, and most recently the stomach flu, we all managed to be healthy by about 2 days before Christmas. Jason and I didn’t exchange gifts this year,… Read more →
Three Musketeers
Lots of happenings in our house over the past month. Probably the most exciting news is we found out we are having Baby BOY Baxter #3! The ultrasound went well and everything looked happy and healthy in there. I am now at 21 weeks but look more like 30. Some day I will need to do some serious work to… Read more →
End of the Quarter
I inadvertently skipped blogging for the entire 3rd quarter of this year. Much like the last time we got pregnant (PS if you haven’t heard…we’re pregnant!), we decided to start trying and I was “knocked up” or more politely “with child” about 6 weeks later. Then I got tired. REALLY tired. There were lots of naps, some nausea, and a few… Read more →
It. Is. Hot.
Hello Summer. I was hoping for you, and now you’re too hot. This entire week is supposed to be 100+ degrees. It IS a dry heat as they say, but my tolerance really only goes up to about 95. We will make it, but now I’m missing fall once again. Life is crazy this summer. I was looking back at… Read more →
Lawn and Garden
It’s that time of year where digging in the dirt take priority over house cleaning, food making, laundry doing, and just about anything else I can think of. Jason asked me a few days ago how I would spend my weekend if I had none of those other day-to-day things to worry about and I think I decided I would… Read more →

8:21pm
I went to bed at 8:21pm tonight. Not to sleep, but to ignore all the other responsibilities staring at me. The laundry that’s not put away, the layer of food crumbs on the floor, the dishes in the dishwasher (clean) and the sink (dirty). For now they will wait. I basically said “F-it, I’m going to do something else that… Read more →
Who’s turning ONE? Christopher!
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to YOU! Happy Birthday Dear Chris-to-pher! Happy Birthday to YOU! Describe the temperament of your child: Mellow. Smiley. That pretty much sums up your first year. Smiles so big your eyes squint shut as you grin from ear to ear. I tell people you’ve been the type of baby who could make anyone like babies.… Read more →
Vay-K
On the subject of vacations, we survived a rough start to April including teething and colds and are currently spending time at my parents’ house in WI. About a week ago we flew from Salt Lake to Denver on what was THE ROUGHEST flight I’ve ever been on. I have never come so close to using an airsickness bag in my… Read more →
