May/June randoms


Here I sit. Its July 15th and I am trying to remember the moments from May. I really need to do better at keeping up with the time. Either do better or stop trying. Those are the options. May seems years ago. It wasn't super hot yet so we were able to get out some but we were also getting really excited for our upcoming vacation.

Kelsey and Madison started playing this game were Kelsey would hand feed Madison and then they would both laugh and laugh. The pictures I got weren't the best, but I can still hear their giggles in my head.

90% of the time it ends with a hug

Kelsey hates water in her eyes. She hates it so much so that she literally wears goggles while she runs through the sprinklers.

We had a surprise visit from Xander and Adisue and things got crazy goggles and all.


Kelsey and Madison were coloring one afternoon and I noticed Madison was going back and forth from my bathroom to the coloring spot. I followed her and this is what I found. She was so proud of herself too.


Kelsey got so mad at me about a week after her birthday. I'm not really sure why other than the birthday crash hit her hard. She was exhausted, spent a week getting what she wants, not sleeping well, and having a diet of pure sugar and the first time I said no, she just couldn't handle it. It was  sad fit, but she cried so hard that she fell asleep. It was a needed break for both of us.

I caught this moment during family prayer. Definitely worth opening my eyes during the prayer

I cut my hair. Like it, don't love it. The dresser did EXACTLY what I asked for so she is not to blame. I just can't decide what to do with my hair, like ever, so I keep trying new things and finding that I don't love them. Good thing I didn't do anything crazy and that hair grows.


I went to the temple one evening by myself. I was feeling especially down about the hardship that come with motherhood and still super confused about Luxembourg. Although I didn't receive any sort of pointed answer to my issues, I left feeling so at peace with the confusion that we were facing. I'm so grateful for temples. There is such a peace in our lives because of them.

One day I was making black bean brownies (delicious!!) and I spilled the mini chococihps everywhere when I opened the bag. IMMEDIATELY the girls ran to the kitchen and started eating them off the floor. It was hilarious.

I can't remember what Ethan was doing, but the point of this picture was Kelsey's face. I seriously can not express enough just how much she loves Ethan. Everything he does is perfect. She just watched him with wonder and awe. Its so cute to watch their relationship.

I saw Madison emptying out the book crate and wondered what she was doing. I came out of my room to find her reading her books in it.

I just love how old this picture makes her look. She still is so little but this picture is just priceless to me. Love the bun

Early morning cuteness before work
First time pigtails
Waiting for swimming lessons and it turned into story time. The Parker's also brought out watermelon. It was wonderful except it was already 107 outside. Swimming is at 9:15 AM.  Boo to AZ summers!


Fancy feet there kiddo

A maintenance crew came to clean up the yard next door and it created an unexpected exciting hour.


Laundry day!

For the most party the girls still play really well together, but this day was particularly awesome. They stayed outside for like 30 minutes just laughing and talking. It was so cute to listen to. This picture makes me so grateful for backyards and siblings.

Kelsey fell asleep while shopping! She hasn't done this in YEARS!!! It was so cute though. I tried to lift her and wake her up but she would not move for anything. I had to get stuff done so I just started piling everything on her and she STILL didn't wake up. It was so cute!


At our last zoo outing (before the weather got hot) Kelsey and I snapped this picture. It is now my favorite picture of us.
