We've got some catching up to do!

It's been almost 2 years since i've posted. So who knows who still reads or looks at this blog. But let me tell you something, It is soooo nice to no longer have to work. After just 4 months of quitting my job, I have finally started to feel like a mom again. I know where Evie is, I know what she is eating, I know what she did all day, I know what she is trying to say in her own little language. I had the best help from my mom and Caseys mom, but we can't rely on them for everything and while grandmas mean well, they end up creating monsters that are spoiled rotten all day with love and attention. I know that I'm more tired stayting home than being at work. Its been hard adjusting to working and then prefering to work over being home all day, to now re-adjusting to being a 'mom' again and being home all day. My skills (or lack there of) of cleaning, cooking, organizing, and any type of motivation kind of took a major hiatis while I was working, and really struggled. I had a great job, nothing was wrong, I just happend to get pregnant again and I was incredibly sick that standing for hours on end blow-drying people's hair all day sounded less than desireable. Everyone is different. Some women can work 10 hour days, keep an imaculate house, cook meals from scratch and keep everyone happy but all I could do was work and then dread going home to have to clean or cook anything. OR even bathe Evie for that matter. Even though I have incredible back pain from pregnancy and no energy I still enjoy taking care of Evie and things around the house now more than when I was working. Also I did not have a super physically demanding job or a high stress job, but it got pretty comfy for me to leave Evie and then go have fun doing people's hair all day. Wait… I was exhausted after standing for several hours, but it was still fun-ish. I'm still adjusting to and working on getting into a routine of some sort to keep things cleaned and organized at home. I have even recently been motivated to update this blog again. So we'll see how that goes!!!!!

And here is a quick update using pictures that'll show what we've been up to last year. Next post will be an update on this year!

Evie built that tower by herself!

                                                  We went to disneyland:) But in the picture below sums up our experience. We have a special name for Evie that we use now when Evie turns 'Evil' And its 'Disneyland Evie'. Since being at the happiest place on earth wasnt a happy time for Evie (She was sick though….)

                                    The child leash was an epic fail for us. We used it for 20 minutes. People around us loved it and laughed at Evie, but once Evie figured out that we control the leash, it was game over.
     

                                                       Aunt Kaylee left on a mission!

                                      To celebrate Aunt Kaylee leaving, we packed up and headed to Palm Springs to go to Legoland with Smash and Janie and her kids. I honestly would have rather paid $20 more dollars and gone to Disneyland, Legoland is a happy place for older children…. specifically boys. There are fun things there for younger kids, but most of the rides Evie couldnt go on, whereas at Disneyland, there were a handful of rides to we can go on. Maybe in a few years.

 Cleaned out a semi-safe and suitable playroom for Evie.

                         Evie was tinkerbell for Halloween since tinkerbell was her favorite movie:)
