Yep. Still Here.

Here's what we've been up to since June 26th.


Making a few cute diaper bags and purses.
Recruiting excited models to show my creations.
Loving this cute little guy and his constant need to roll.
And laugh.

Pitting and freezing cherries for 8+ hours.
And then finding out that I don't have many cherry fans in my house.

Making traditions even though Eric can't always be there.
3rd of July BBQ made by yours truly!

Smore's

Bravely camping out with the three kids and myself.
Being scared of illegal fireworks that were landing feet from our tent.

Finding pictures on my camera that I know I didn't take.

Not Bad, eh?

Harvesting our garden.
Peas, zucchini, corn and carrots.
Pumpkins are almost there...

Working in and going through the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.
It will be our new temple, so it has been extra awesome!

Enjoying some California sand and sun!

Enjoying the happiest place on earth!

It really is!!

Being jealous of Eric's new love.

Maya met her idol.
(and tried to look down her shirt. It was embarrassing.)

Finding more pictures on my camera.

Why did my son felt the need to photograph our toilet?
Who knows?

1st Day of School for both kids!
Lots of emotions.
Lots of stories to tell.

Painted my house this color.

Trying to lose lots of this.
Trying to get motivated to do this.
And I've really missed my blog.
I'm back!

Our 7th Year!

Today is our 7 year anniversary! I am kind of a horrible wife and I'll be gone all day and night at our ward's Youth Conference. He's having such a good attitude about it, though. That's why I love him.

I love him for many other reasons too, but today I woke up thinking about our relationship and thought how great it is to be loved. He does a good job of making me feel loved and needed. He needs me and I need him. We make each other happy. We understand what makes the other one happy and we make sure we are doing those things consistently.

Our life has definitely taken us in a different direction than we had planned at first, and it has been hard for us, but I think we love each other more because we're doing this together. I love you, Eric! Sorry I won't be here--We'll make number "eight" great! :)
