Lagoon...Our yearly visit

It seems every year we go to Lagoon during Frightmares. This year was no different. We went last Friday the 30th. We had a great time, and Carter even went on some rides [when he wasn't crying...aka we forced him to ride and he stopped crying by the end.] Here are some pictures from our adventure!

 

  

Thanks Julie & Doug for the discount tickets!

Survey

To all you mommas out there:

How do you do it?

(and by it I mean everything)


Seriously- I get so tired. Just worn out really. Dishes. Laundry. Picking up. Life. Rinse & Repeat.

I feel like whenever I get a free minute there are so many things I SHOULD be doing and so many things I WANT to be doing. I don't know what to do...and then I end up just wasting time, or relaxing, or watching tv. Because, let's be honest. Sometimes I just need a break!

And maybe (just maybe) I have this false image in my head. But-I feel like so many of you have it figured out. You are happy and fun with clean houses who do awesome cute creative things and are super spiritual and somehow have time for all of this...and more.

So ladies, I'm looking for some tips. (Cuz I need help in all these areas) Please let me know...

How do you do it??

Thanks!

Climbing the Rock

Tuesday we went rock climbing as a family. Shawn, Carter and I and my two brothers, and Zack and his nephew. it was great to get out. Not so great climbing for me (I didn't like getting belayed by my husband who was simultaneously holding our baby...imagine that). It seems like everyone else had a nice time on the wall. Watching the sun set and hiking down by headlamp was also super cool.

Here are a few pics, with one of my favorites of Carter to-date:

Carter's 1st Haircut

Today we took Carter to get a haircut. He was Rockin the mullet! But the straggle had to go. So Shawn scheduled a hair appointment for himself and Carter. I made it a family affair.

Carter was a champ. He didn't cry until she was using the electric razor by his ears. He wasn't that bad- he just tried to squirm away from the noise. It went way better than I expected!

Now he looks like a cute little boy. My baby is growing up!

Here he is post cut.


















He won't sit still for anything. And runs into everything! (do you like his bruised forehead? Sheesh!)
