Family Weekend Away




*It's funny how pictures make everything appear perfect, not at all like you are stressed, tired, or just experienced a melt down*

So I know you're wondering from my last post, How did this weekend go?
It turned out to be great! Although Tuck was teething and had a bit of a meltdown at breakfast Saturday morning (which we learned from our friends that it wasn't so bad to them, it was only bad to us), he did great the rest of the trip. After breakfast we went shopping and Tucker was FINALLY asleep...then we figure out we have forgotten his stroller...so Josh has to carry him in his carseat the whole time. Tucker+carseat=<30lbs so on that hot steam day, it was a task to say the least. We ended up only going to a few shops and then headed back to the truck to brave the traffic to Dixie Stampede. Since Tuck had a meltdown earlier that day I wasn't too optimistic about him sitting through the whole show. Boy did he prove me wrong! He was enthralled! He watched the show, napped a while, then watched the show some more after he woke up. He. Did. Great. The rest of the trip was nice, he even slept through the night Saturday! (BIG WIN)

We Survived.
We learned a lot and that trip was good for us, we now know we have a little bit thicker skin and can handle a more everyday.

Motherhood Right Now

I wanted to start a new update on the blog called: Motherhood right now. It will be an update on parenting and what it looks like with my two little ones at the particular age and season of life we are all in. So lets getting started by saying Tuck is practically 21 months and Grant is practically 8 months old. At the moment motherhood could be easier. I have two mama's boys and tend to choose their mom over anyone else. Which could not be more sweet. For instance after teaching my workout class last night I got home and my littlest calmed right down and was happy and my oldest sat in my lap and gave me 100 kisses. On the other hand Grant cried for 45 minutes while I was gone, which breaks my heart and bothers me to know he misses me so much when I'm at work, but I also know its good for him to be with his grandparents and it's good for me to work. I would love to be with my boys 24/7 but I have to work and work is good for me, it keeps my mind busy and I get to be s...

Self Control

I was having a conversation with my mom yesterday about eating and self control. I can't tell you how many times I have racked my brain for motivation and simple logic on how to better control myself around food. I feel like if you have self control you don't have to be on a diet all you need to do is eat what you want just don't eat so much of it and you've got the whole being healthy thing figured out. Of course it wouldn't hurt to add some good in, that has to be said. BUT I can't seem to figure out how to control my eating when it comes to sitting down and eating supper, I overeat every sinlge time. I have two kids so sitting down to eat isn't as interesting as it used to be. When I would cook meals before I would typically slave for about an hour and by the time I sat down I would eat a small amount then be too tired to eat anymore. Weird I know. Funny thing is when you spend the time cooking a meal eating it is not as interesting as eating something...

Motherhood Right Now

I've gotten into the habit of getting up 1 hour before my husband and *fingers crossed* two hours before the kids. I'm a morning person and crave that time to sit and think and drink my coffee. I can see out of the kitchen window, where I sit to write my post, the sun is just about to come up. I'm so tired, Grant nursed a lot through the night last night, which he's been doing more frequently, but I feel good that I'm up and getting ready for the day. Motherhood has changed since Easter. Easter day Grant started to crawl forward, I say that because for weeks he would crawl or slide backward but showed no signs of going forward until Easter. He loves to explore and doesn't need to sit in my lap all day. Not that I've gotten anything done, I just love to sit and watch him and Tucker interact. Its bittersweet, my arms feel free, but I'm starting to think I"m more attached than my kids. I miss him sitting in my arms and looking at me most of the day....
