Anias is 2!

Anias turns two today! We already had his birthday parties, as I get to work this Saturday and Josh works on Sunday. We threw him a car themed party, as our boy LOVES cars. He would get so excited seeing the decorations. Everywhere he went there was a beloved car. 

I always use their birthday wreaths year-round. I put them on their bedroom door as a little memento. We had to have "tires" to eat (chocolate donuts) and Anias stole SEVEN of them during his second party.
 I made his photo display out of a hula hoop I painted black with white dashes on them like a road. Then I strung some pretty ribbon between and photoshopped cars with the month number on each one and finally I added some car stickers.
The first day it was nice enough to play outside, but for his friend party we had to bring it inside due to rain.
The car wash was for sure the biggest hit. Eli, of course, had to spray his own self as 4 year olds do. 
 Playing with his cousin Lincoln.
He got a little distracted coloring the cars ha!
 He couldn't figure out the car photo booth- he just wanted to look at it from the front ha!
He had to bring his new camper toy with him to blow out candles. I didn't know he was so shy! Once we started singing he was done.
I'm pretty sure he didn't eat any cake either. It was all about that camper.
On his actual birthday we had a pancake breakfast and made him a number 2 shaped pancake (I stole it from a friend) and then had some cake in leftover car boxes from his second party. All in all, I think he was spoiled and happy. He's having a hard time adjusting to life not being all about him again ha!


I say new words like… Love ya, Roy, High five, help, hop, hike, cool
My favorite food is…cheese sticks. Mom has been having a hard time getting me to eat
My favorite toy is...my new Poli cars. When I opened them I insisted on sleeping with them and woke up saying "HI!" before screaming because I couldn't find Roy (the other robocar). 
Some other things I did include...jumping and hopping everywhere, pretending to be stuck under the couch and yelling 'help' until someone gets me out (only to get right back under). I play pretend with my brother a lot and I can count to three.  I love to make people laugh and I only will eat if I can sit on mom or dad's lap. I love to run and go hiking and I wear my new shoes around and tell people they're cool.

I thought I was fat

As a woman, I've always placed a lot of value into what I weigh and how I look. In the past few years especially I've been doing my best to move away from that, to focus on being healthy and feeling good, but those thoughts creep up for sure. It's my 6 week check in and I've lost 4 more pounds, so basically I still have 18 pounds to go. I started out these 6 weeks by going to the gym and only drinking water, but after week 2 Eli got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got sick for 2 (make that 5...) weeks, then I got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got an ear infection and would NOT sleep. He wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours past bedtime and would wake up for hours. He's actually still doing this and he's still sick. Thursday he had a 101 fever so I took him in to the urgent care and his ear infection in his right ear did not go away. They put him on Augmentin and it just destroys his tummy. He actually vomited 3 times Friday on top of it all. I'm not used to thi...

We made it! And still no baby

The first 35 weeks I prayed Anias would stay put. I may have prayed a little too hard! Yesterday was Anias' due date. At this point Eli had already made his appearance. Anias is his own little man. We had a couple of days this past week where I was sure he was on his way, one in particular when I was having contractions every 10-15 minutes after steadily building all day. Alas, it didn't happen. I've been praying that he comes before our scheduled induction Sunday, but trusting in whatever happens. Our doula was discouraging induction since I haven't had any progress and it is typically harder on your body to be induced. However, I need my parents' help and they leave the 27th. I really want to take advantage of help while I transition from being mom of one to mom of two. I had a rough time emotionally when Eli came, and I know that's natural, but I still want to use my support system as much as possible and I'm so thankful they are here to help. Our doc...

Fit for a Princess

I know this is kind of bad, but I’m ready for summer to be over. I know, I know. I’m working on being content in the present, but I honestly can’t wait to see my family again (rocking some boots and sweaters wouldn’t be so bad either). I’m off to Denver in September and I’ll be in my hometown in Wyoming for Thanksgiving. I only get to see the family every 3 or 4 months so every time it’s like a special treat. They’re so fun! Speaking of which…I was talking to my sister Tiffany about throwing a birthday party for her daughter (my niece), Kali, while I’m home since Kali’s a November baby. Tiff was down for it, but she also wanted some help in re-decorating Kali’s room  and I can’t be any more excited. The idea for the very whimsical reno is to have a tree with some tangible flowers and branches. A dress-up station is also a must. Here’s some inspiration I’ve come across so far… Top to bottom, left to right: Lumme Designs Bed , Fairy Tale Bedroom found at Lyring , Linde Browning D...
