5-4-3-2-1 Blast OUT!!!

 

I seem to never be able to guess what this little Bryan is going to say next!

Jared has had tummy problems lately...  he can't seem to kick the diarrhea...  We have had blow outs down both lets to his feet, up his back to his neck and up he tummy up to his neck also!  It has been messy and stinky and so sad to know my baby can't been feeling well.  Many times it has taken me AND Brad to get him stripped down, clothes taken care of and Jared put in the tub. 

Well, this morning I got started changing Jared diaper and Bryan was close by...  He turns to me and asks, in only a tone Bryan has, "Mom!  Is that a BLAST OUT?"  I love it!  Such a better term and description of what we have been dealing with, not a BLOW out, a BLAST out!  Perfect!

One more tidbit of awesomeness

Here is one more tidbit of awesomeness in my life!  I am training for a marathon again!  It has been fun and stress relieving and nice to feel like I have a grip on something in life :)  This is my super awesome best buddy Carolyn, who is also running the marathon!  We have a blast!  Even on windy, cold, beautiful 18 mile runs like today!

 Also I am training for my first triathlon!  I have the bestest group of friends to swim with as well! 

Hehe!  And here is Bryan's best friend Seth running along side with bread to feed the duckies!  He is such a cute kiddo!  I am so blessed to be surrounded by hand fulls of sweet children in my life.  First and for most my own!  They are so amazing in millions of different ways, then my wonderful back door neighbors and carpool friends and it just branches out to our whole neighborhood.  I love the kids in my hood!  My calling has been a huge blessing, both from being around the kind children to the wonderful women and men I get to serve with!  I am so blessed.  I need to remember that when I feel totally and absolutely discouraged about so many other aspects of life!

Picture update!

This year has been pretty crappy.  I try not to blog about it.

 

Thankfully we have had a little bit of fun.  My dad took our family to Goblin Valley.  It was so nice!  Camp was beautiful, being with family was awesome and the food was top notch!  The boys loved being with Emma, Ali and Canyon and exploring with them.  We took a hike through some slot canyons also which was AMAZING!  I sure loved spending time with my bro and his wife and family and being with my dad and Paula was wonderful as well!

 

Also, somewhere in my mess of pictures, is Jared's first birthday.  We had some family take the time to come all the way here to celebrate, which was awfully sweet of them!  Jared is a shining ray of sunshine in our home, we love him very much!

 

There are a few pictures from our trip to Sheridan, WY, where Brad had an interview.  Brad decided it could be our 10 yr anniversary trip.  Fitting, since it took 10 hrs to drive there and 10 hrs to drive back and we were only there for just over 10 hrs. 

 

I am honestly trying to stay positive, but after 9 months of Brad being out of work...  And just other matters going on in life right now...  Ugh.  Anyway, these pictures are the highlight of fun for me this year!
