The Luckiest

I just have been so touched lately with feelings of gratitude. I have such an amazing life. I am lucky. Sometimes life as a mom gets monotonous staying home and not feeling productive all the time. But then I think of how blessed I am to be able to stay home with my little guy. He is the sweetest most pure person just sent from Heavenly Father. He makes me want to be a better person. Lately I have been trying to work on my individual self and becoming a better mom and wife. I am so deeply blessed by all the opportunities that have poured down from heaven. I have had so many doors open to me since I have had Boston.
Living in Saint George was not appealing to me when we first moved here. But now I cannot picture myself anywhere else. The people here are just so wonderful and I love the city. It is absolutely breathe taking. Brian's opportunity to work here with his family is the biggest blessing we can have. It opens up so many possibilities as we are raising our family. I am so happy for a wonderful, smart, and motivated husband. Any of you that know Brian know that his personality is magnetic. He has the drive to be the best at everything he sets his mind to. Such a good example to me, cause sometimes I get stuck in a rut and need some encouragement.
Sorry just a little bit of word vomit... I just wanted to express how blessed I feel. I am so lucky.

Summer Vacays... Catch up

Wowzers, it feels like I just downloaded sooo many pictures! That gives you a sense of how busy my summer was. But it was sooo much fun! We did so many cool things starting with...



Hawaii- We went to Kauai for a week in the middle of August and it was amazing! We had so much fun. Here are some pics... This one is us doing the Na Pali Coast tour. It was BEAUTIFUL!! We went on a boat and went snorkeling swam with sea turtles and dolphins. Boston came on the boat and SLEPT the WHOLE 5 hours pretty much. I guess the rocking of the boat put him to sleep.














Random picture... but we had to give away our cat. I loved her so. She was such a good kitty. This is right before she went to a new home.










Beautiful lagoon we went to every single day pretty much. It was at the Hyatt and they had awesome pools to swim in.











Na Pali...



































Waimea Canyon. Kinda like the Grand Canyon.





















Brian's Family










Boston at the Luau. We went to a really cool one that was theatrical. I really enjoyed it.























Hana lei Beach. It was Boston's first time in the Ocean!































He was pretty tired from all the sun. But DID NOT get a sunburn the whole time! I was pretty conscious to put sunscreen on at all times. I knew a bad burn could ruin the trip.



Ha ha my little cutie man




Fern Grotto



We took a boat ride out to the Fern Grotto and Hawaiian people sang to us.













Our little family...




4th of July in St. George. I seriously love St. George. I am so lucky to live here and be able to raise my kids here. We have the best group of friends and have made so many fun memories so far.











In May we went to my Mom's house. So much fun. She moved into a new place that has an awesome pool, workout room, golf course, parks, trails, mini- golf and basketball courts(just to name a few) So we love coming here any chance we get. Kinda like a mini resort.










In June we went up to my brother Josh's wedding. He had his reception at Thanksgiving Point and it was incredible. Such a fun reception with so many people that we love. We danced the night away!














The Happy couple...






This is when Boston was just 12 weeks old. He has grown so much since then! He was born with reddish hair(Brian was born with the same hair) so I'm curious to see what color it is going to be when his hair comes in. He is such a cutie!-Both of them:)



In May we drove to the Grand Canyon on a Saturday. It was a fun little day trip





































That's all!! Till next time. I hope all of you had a wonderful summer too!

He can lift his head so good!! He is such a strong boy and probably will be crawling in no time!
Going to Church. I love getting him dressed up all cute. He is like me little doll:)














Happy 4th of July!!





He LOVES to swim. I take him to this little fun park with water and he has so much fun!







He loves all his toys...

1. He will sit like this in his bobby for hours!! What an easy baby!



2. He is just starting to sit in his Bumbo and he loves it! He also loves his swing.



3. He LOVES bath time! He just can't wait till nighttime till we give him baths





I haven't posted a lot lately I have been sooo busy! I thought that once I quit my job at Wells Fargo I would be so bored. Lets be honest, the first 6 weeks were kinda rough, but now.... I have more stuff going on than before.



  • I watch my friends kid from 10-2 everyday. He is one, so two kids keep my hands full! But he is a really good kid so it is fun.

  • I clean Brian's mom's house every week.

  • I have been going to the gym like CRAZY!! The daycare watches Boston at the gym, so it makes it really easy for me to work out. He does really good there and they say he is always happy, so that gives me a much needed break.

  • I started my own BUSINESS!!! I am a Master Esthetician and I am now doing Eyelash Extensions, Spray tans, Nails, and Waxing! After a lot of people asking me to do it, I finally decided to do it. Things are still under construction with the business, but I am working on a Blog, so I will give more Info when its ready.

Most of all I am so HAPPY on my new life as a mom. I love my little munchkin man and want to bottle up every moment. I feel so blessed because he has been the best baby ever!! He eats good( since I switched to formula it has been SOOOO much better!) He takes naps everyday between 1-3 hrs at a time, and STILL sleeps through the night!!


He does give me some challenges too, but I am glad that I am over that exhausted, learning stage that the first 4 weeks bring. I am so glad that he has gotten on a routine and is starting to figure out life better.


My Blog is going through a Face Lift, So I will try and post more when I have time!!


P.S.- I'm going to HAWAII in 4 weeks and I'm so excited!!!
