Oh, you know

It's my favorite kind of update! The kind in list form!

+It's gotten cold this last week, but before that, Sadie and I were eating breakfast in the yard a lot. Sadie was looking all cute and I was a hot mess. 

+My parents sent Sadie this awesome little walker/riding car thing, and Sadie is obsessed. When it's warm out, we go on post-dinner walks around the block and push Sadie on it.

+Our little video hit 5 million views and ended up in a St. George newspaper. Still pretty crazy! 


 + Most nights are spent with us all 3 on the floor. Sadie loves when we get down there and she can just climb all over us with her milk face.

+To try and break up our Netflix binging in the evenings, we got some board games. I have beat Nathan at every single one.

+This will probably be the last YW activity we can have outside! It makes me sad, but I sure love these girls. We were tie-dying pillow cases. Sadie joined in.

I spent the whole day at my old work last week. We had lunch with old coworkers, visited around the classrooms, then went to a work bridal shower for my friend after school. I sure miss those people! And Sadie LOVES Bustin. Which makes me happy, because I love him too.

+Sometimes we hang out at parks. Did you know we like parks? Haha. This one is around the corner from us. Just a 2 minute walk. It has tons of grass space and a cute playground. We love it.

+Sadie and one of her many boyfriends. This one is Collin. He's an older man.

+Because this is my blog and I can get as real as I want, I'll tell you that I have been having a rough couple weeks. First of all, my hormones are out of whack, so that's the biggest contributing factor. I have had some insane cycles. (I'm talking 2 week periods, then no period for 50 days). My doctor thinks my body is kinda crashing from almost 3 years of being pregnant, trying to get pregnant, fertility drugs, and nursing. So I am up and down as my body tries to work this all out. I have also been having a lot of Madelyn triggers lately, I've been missing my family big time, and I've just been kinda sad. It's dumb, because I have soooo many reasons to be happy! But I couldn't help it. Sunday was especially hard. I was sad and restless. I have the world's sweetest husband and he took me out on a long drive, gave me candy, and we watched the sunset from one of our favorite parks. It helped a lot, and I am just so thankful for this little family God gave me. Because it's everything,

+Sadie and daddy have story time every night. And then my heart explodes. Seriously, these people! 

+I used our upholstery spot cleaner to clean our entire area rug. It took forever, but it looked brand new and I wanted to cry. Sadie smashed a blueberry on it when she woke up from her nap.

+A YW night of slave labor as we made the girls chop all the vegetables for a giant batch of homemade salsa. Girls we crying from the onions, burning their eyes from the jalapeƱos, and cutting their fingers. I think it was a success.

+ There was totally a double rainbow during the salsa activity. It was amazing.

+Katie has never read Harry Potter (I know, right?) so she and I are reading them at the same time and watching the movie at the end of each book. It's so fun to read the series again, and I am totally jealous that Katie gets to experience them all of the first time. We had our first movie night, pizza and ice cream included, on Wednesday. It was so fun! Sadie snuggled up with Katie and her soft blanket, while Lady took advantage of me being without Sadie and mauled me the whole night. Yay Harry Potter!

Fall is definitely starting here in Utah, and even though I love summer, I AM SO EXCITED FOR FALL!!!! It's starting early this year, which means we will have a nice, long one. I am stoked for sweater weather and warm food, and pumpkin spice. Yay!!!
