It's August 2015 and that is COOL





(This is my child. She is cute and tiny and makes me think happy things)


If you want to know how crazy having a baby makes your life then let's reflect on the fact I haven't posted on my blog since I was 38 weeks and I now have a 10 month old.
Thankfully I have been better at writing in my journal so I can remember all the details from Lainey's birth and beginning of life by reading it.
So let's just go from where we are now, which is good old Provo, Utah. Can't say that Provo has ever been on my dream list of places to live but HEY not that bad. I mean not bad at all if you ignore the BYU stickers, shirts, the actual BYU campus and stadium. GO AGGIES!  There is something about the mountains here that just make me happy and I wonder if Travis will ever get sick of me saying "just look at those mountains!" at least once a day. But really Provo is cool and shout out to my in-laws for letting us stay with them and being awesome in every way.
Speaking of Travis, he is coaching the wide receivers at his old high school Timpview and also helping run the offense. He is also selling Solar on the side which he has been doing the past year. He is great, he still enjoys discount movies and movie theater popcorn as often as he can.
Speaking of me, I'm doing #momlife stuff. I'm not sure exactly what that means but it sounds pretty cool. I keep my tiny human fed, changed, content and safe. So I think that's a pretty cool job, because trust me it's a lot of work. That's not to say I don't sneak in time to watch HGTV and The Bachelor of course.
Speaking of Lainey, she's the exciting one. A whole ten months old and full of personality that girl. She stands and walks along anything she can find but it's her crawling that's rather impressive to me. She does this thing where she crawls so fast she has to put her head down to become more aerodynamic and if looks like she is an Olympic runner trying to medal in the 100 meter race. Lainey eats anything she can find (I actually just pulled a piece of plastic out of her mouth) so it's kind of a full time job to make sure she isn't eating rocks, grass, dirt, wood chips (all things I've saved her from eating). She's recently become super interested in food and likes quite a bit of foods, including limes?? Every time we eat she sits there and whines and begs right along side the dog so that's super fun. She is such a sweet happy smiley little thing with so much energy and curiosity. But when she gets mad, she gets reaaally mad. I like that about her because she's a go big or go home type of gal. Everyday I get with her is truly a gift because her little spirit has brought us so much joy. She's my most bestest creation.

Life is good to us. No complaints from me. I'm so happy for all the great wonderful people and things in my life. Two thumbs way up!
