get the popcorn this is a long one

So it has been Way crazy around here! Last week I felt like the energizer bunny just without the energy but I kept going and going and going. First off I taught a finical class for my mom’s ward enrichment class. It’s the first off three classes. I love teaching it. I was a little scared (well let’s not lie) A LOT scared… Ian and I taught a six week course last fall and it was great b/c we spilt the time and he could help fill in my scatterness  But this time it was an hour class all ME. I thought there was NO way that I could teach for an hour…boy was I wrong. I had an interesting experience. I just could not get my thoughts together on how I wanted to teach and what I wanted to say I stayed up many nights just going over and over what I wanted to do and NOTHING!! So on top of having this crazy week I thought oh Ill have play group at my house it was actually nice to just stop thinking about it and relax a little. After everyone left and I got both boys down(thank goodness) and I had like what 6 hours before I taught I thought ok heavenly Father what do I need to teach and then it hit me so hard I knew what I needed to do. It was crazy it was a total different direction on which I had planned to do so I felt so unprepared but at the same time I have never had such strong feelings to change what I had planned and do what needs to be taught so I felt peace that everything would work out. It’s amazing how fast time flies when you are passionate about something….I can talk for hours on finances. I can’t wait tell the next class!

So now that the class is done I moved on to the next thing of the week …Baby shower for my best friend.
We have been walking every Mon,Wed,Fri. So Wed Morning Kathryn texted me nothing abnormal we text hourly but she put hey could I come over before we go walking…..SEVERAL things started to flow through my mind. I thought is she coming to tell me something about the shower and she wants something different no that’s not Kathryn she is the most easy going person I know. Then somewhere way deep down inside …well let me give you some back story I just got really burnt out by a person I thought was a good friend and this seems to happen a lot to me so I thought could this really happen Again and I really thought there was no way I just had no clue but I knew it could not be that… so I waited for her to come over. It was worse She came to tell me she was moving to North Carolina….NOOOOO I finally have an amazing friend and she has to move. I am way happy for them though her husband got a promotion but still very sad. She is one of those friends that I will have for a lifetime. We already have a trip planned to the beach. This woman is an amazing woman and carried me through a really down time in my life and brought Joy to me again. She made me realize how important it is to have girlfriends in your life. She truly will be missed.

So on to the shower….The rest of the week was me running around crazy getting things down for the shower. She is having a baby girl so we did pink and green as the colors. We made cute tissue paper flowers with the help of Melisa another close friend. And way cute thank you gifts…Lots of yummy food and I made some Yummy cupcakes. I forgot my camera so when I get the pictures from Mel I will post them. It turned out so good and she got some amazing gifts. We were just happy that she made it to the shower she is due any day. She is 60%efaced and already at a 3. So hopefully in the next couple of days we will have baby grace here! Oh I tried sewing these really cute onsies with ruffles on the butt they did not turn out good so I really need to practice.
So this is a way long post but that is a little of what is going on in my life. I am going to have a LAZY week!

ok I take it back

So I came across a new blog template website and LOVE it so now I think I can blog again cause I have a cute one:) I have to teach a class at enrichment on FHE for people with little ones tommorrow and I am way scared. I have not taught in a long time and The fact that I have an 18 month old I dont have much experiance. But I guess they want to hear what I have to say. I hope it goes well I am sure it will it only has to be 15-20 min I can handle that. So thursday I will post a BIG post with pictures and all and get everyone caught up on US. Thanks for sticking with me through time of silence. I am really going to try hard and do this.

And this is why...

And this is why I hate blogging.... I can never make my page cute. Everyone I know has the way cute pages and they change them all the time. URGH It took me like two hours to do this one it it looks so bad! Well maybe Ill keep trying but now you know:)

WE are coming to UTAH!!

Hey guys we are coming to Utah in two weeks and I can not wait! we are coming in on Tuesday the 20th. We will be in Idaho Falls the 21st and Twin Falls the 22 and back to Utah the 23. It is going to be so much fun! I miss Utah so much. I would really like to get together with everyone up there. I talked to my cousin Megan and she said she that we could get together at her house for a big family get together I would love to see everyone. Let me know what nights work best for you so we can plan it. Maybe like a pot luck or something like games. The only bummer of the whole trip is I have to stay with the In laws I guess Ill have to get over it. Other then that things are going great. Logan just talks up a storm, he loves singing with me it is so cute. He also Loves me reading books to him, he got mad at me the other day when I stoped he likes to just sit there and see the pictures and hear my voice. He still is not sleeping through the night but is getting way better. It is mainly my fault but I am working on not having to have him right next to me. We took him of dairy a couple of months ago and This weekend I wanted to see if he out grow it and if I maybe Prematurely took him off. Well within 24 hours of putting him back on the dairy he had blood in his stool and back to a really fussy baby...So back to soy and he is back to being Happy. Has anyone had to use soy? It makes Logan have a very hard time going to the bathroom , and his stools are so BIG not kidding like the size of a golf ball no messy diapers for me (is great but I feel bad for Logan cause it hurts him) Ian calls them Soy balls. Dr. said to put brown sugar in the Formula but I have noticed it helping any suggestions? Other then his stools hurting him he is doing great and getting way big. Hope to see all my Utah Friends in a couple of weeks!

2 Month

Logan had his two month check up and shots. He was a big boy and only cried for a second and when he got handed back to me he just snuggled and stopped crying. He did real well the rest of the day as well. I do have to admit I spoil him just a little :) but can you really spoil a baby. I love that I get to stay home and give him all my attention. We kinda had a rough start. He would scream for 13 hours and sleep for only like an hour at a time. I did not know what to do it was WAY hard. Finally one night late my mom came out to help and noticed that 10 min after I feed him is when he would do this freak out thing he used to do. He would scream and shake it was horrible. She said that is what Jaime (my sister) would do. I enjoyed breastfeeding him, some people have a hard time with this but I was doing fine. But, I saw what was going on so I decided that we would see what would happen if I took him off my milk. after a couple of weeks of trying different things we put him on Soy milk and it was a complete change and new little boy over night. It takes two weeks to detox your body of milk so I started the Journey of NO milk. It was not as bad as I thought it would be but the pumping was hard to keep up on. SO after the two weeks Logan like the laziness of the bottle and I lost my milk. I really wish I could feed him 1ST because it is SOOO good for him and also it was going to help with money. But I he is a happy little boy and I am a happy Mommy!:) He still is not sleeping real well through the night but I will take that over the screaming any day. Now he just wakes up and I feed him and he goes back to sleep.
back to his appointment.. He is following in his Dads footsteps. He is 23.8 IN and 12 lbs 9.2 oz. That puts him in the 75%. he was 22.2 in 10lbs1.9oz on his one month and his one week he was 7lbs 4.8. I know a lot of information but its been a while.
here are some Pictures to enjoy!
