Looking at my blog and realizing I haven't posted anything for over a month got me a little overwhelmed on how much I need to catch up on. I had to sit and write down what has gone on for the last 6 weeks so that I could make it all organized chaos on this post. I ain't (Ya, I know ain't ain't a word and I ain't suppose to say it!) going to lie, I have been so busy with these two little ones that at the end of each day I think wait, did I go to the bathroom, did I shower, did I eat? and forget getting dressed for the day if I know I have no where to go. Its to much work! Ya I am lazy!!! I decided that having twins would have been easier for me. Having Livi be already at the terrible 2's and shes only 16mo has me worried what the next few years are going to be like. YES MOM YOUR WISH CAME TO, I AM RAISING MY OWN SELF! Alivia is a self proclaimed princess, Love her to pieces, but she is a DIVA! She still wants to be the baby and I find myself holding two kids most of the day, she just doesn't like it when I am giving the cuddle time to Ike and not her. Then there are the times when I step out of the room to visit my first born.. Mikey that's right, he is currently living in a different world (his room) He tries to stay out of the chaos that goes on in the rest of the home. Anyway back to the princess I find her walking up to Ike in his chair and just smacking him for no reason... I have started an IOU chart for Ike to redeem to his older sister at his discretion. Poor little kid! So things with the girl in the house have been a little rough, she is showing her personality and making her presence known. Back to the kid that moved away, My Mikey! He has been such a big help in our home, I tend to ask him to help out alot more than I should, I think he feels like he is just his siblings slave. Do this Mikey, get this Mikey, go entertain them Mikey... He helps out more than he should, but man I just feel like I neglect this little guy, he doesn't get that much attention anymore and although he is taking it well ( at least we think he is) I still feel like a bad mom! Its sad when I go into his room and he asks to have me play or read books to him or what not and I say yes, not more than 3-4 minutes in to it, the other two are needing my assistance and I am forced to leave Mikey once again. Man it breaks my heart! Its also really sad that since we live in a college complex, NO KIDS are in sight for him to play with. He begs every day to go play with his cousin Damon and I feel bad that I have to make up all these excuses cause Damon is older and just had friends of his own and most of the time isn't around to play. So, I guess after all of this writing I am wishing Ike grows up fast so Mikey had a live in playing partner to play with. ( Cause Livi is a girl mom and I just want to play with boys right now.. is what he always says to me)
Now that I got that off my chest....
We have had a busy summer and believe it or not it hasn't revolved around softball this year! WHAT, ya I know.. its been a shock! Don't get me wrong he still plays, just not every single weekend and this fall he took off softball, he plays on Tuesdays, but only like an on-call player, so I am proud of him to sacrifice something he loves so much, heck I love so much.
Pioneer weekend we spent in Ogden. Mike played softball, Jenny had her 40th birthday party celebration so we all spent it at Mom's house and enjoyed lots of good food and company.
....the following weekend Mike played in Richfield.
August 5th, My little man turned 3 months! Growing like a weed! Gaining more weight that I know what to do with, he has been the biggest of our babies, we love our little chubs.. Also, Happy Birthday to the most wonderful woman I know. My momma!! :)
That weekend we decided to use the cabin and have Mike's family come up and spend a few days there, it was nice to get away and relax, we had a chill time and even spent Saturday afternoon at the Tanger Outlets shopping for the back to school clothing, while the guys went fishing, then turned to crawdad catching. Which they later sauteed up for dinner. All in all it was a great weekend and so glad my parents weren't up at their 2nd home to let us use it.. (wink wink Mom)
Next came our Anniversary! I just Love this man I am married too! So lucky to have the life we do. We have it made!! We were back and forth on what to do and just decided that maybe we would use our anniversary vacation later in the year and take off to a KC game.
So our summer has been filled with alot of good stuff, not to mention the impromptu BBQ's, those I just love! I'm ready for a slow down though!
Pictures will follow... eventually!

I would never believe that you had a little Diva on hand?! haha. I wouldn't know what to only do with one diva & boys. Don't feel like a bad mom.. I know we are all at that point though. I have those moments too. I think every good mom has moments like that. Lachele was a huge help & got almost neglected for a while but she doesn't hold a grudge & now loves to help even more than I want her too :)
