Busy Life

Update: I wrote this post last week and right in the middle of it McKay's computer crashed (mine crashed a few months ago) So we are currently computerless until we save up the money to buy a new one. I am trying to be really patient until we get a new one, it is hard when I feel like the computer was my connection to the outside world (I wish we could just declare this an emergency and use the emergency funds lol jk) So hopefully we will have another one soon! But enjoy this post in the mean time!

Hello! Sorry I didn't post over the weekend I just never could drag myself to the computer long enough to down load the pics. Life has been busy, as it seems it has been for everyone (I haven't seem many updates from very many people the past few weeks, probably the nice weather is to blame). We have been planning and prepping to start finishing our yard. And luckily with our tax return we might actually be able to to do a few things like put in a sprinkler system :P (not my favorite thing, but I guess it has to be done) I love this nice weather too, but am a little worried about what the side effects will be from it (food prices going up, wild fires, water shortage?) Hopefully we will continue to get some moisture. Adalyn also turned 7 months old on the 10th. She started really crawling the day before that and is now quite fast (when she wants to be). She also pulls herself up on shorter things and in her crib. She loves her crib right now and will play forever in there. Here are a few pictures of her.

She loves to climb all over me and she also loves that now she can crawl she can follow me all over the house. It is sort of like having a puppy. :) Always there at your feet...

Notice the thumb? Yeah I am ignoring it and hope it goes away (but secretly I think it is really cute, she sticks it back in her mouth between each bite when I feed her, just to get a taste lol) silly girl Well that is all for today! Have a great day!

Rut

This week I was in a rut. You know those "My life isn't very exciting right now...I need a change, BUT I don't have any energy to do it... I changed a bazillion diapers, cleaned the house, made dinner, and did the laundry and no one cares so why did I do it?" kind of weeks. Everyone gets down on themselves every once in awhile. But yesterday I decided I was done being moody and needed to shape up/change. All day long I literally felt like I was pulling myself out of a hole. My body and mind fought it, but finally by last night I felt like I had made it out (this nice weather that we are having was a huge help) I was excited that I had been able to consciously make a change like that. While I was choosing (or forcing myself) to be happy I was reminded of this quote by Martha Washington... 

"I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be; for I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our disposition and not upon our circumstances.”

Martha Washington

It felt good and I am excited for the weekend. Up first, Temple date with McKay (since those are the ONLY dates seem to go on these days I am looking forward to it :)  Happy Weekend Everyone!  (Well I might be back at some point this weekend in celebration of our cute 7 month who is crawling and becoming an avid thumb sucker (oh my!))
