We had family and friends over on his birthday for cake, presents and a piñata! He loves balls and he saw a basketball cake while I was perusing Pinterest and once he saw the "baketball" there was no changing his mind. So I did a basketball cake and had some help decorating the ball cupcakes.

We did manage to sneak some fun in though! <div><br></div><div>The beginning of July Marshall's parents left on a mission to Denver and we moved in to their house. We are in the process of getting our house sold and we will hopefully start looking for another lot to build on here soon. Moving with 3 kids, one being a newborn was quite the experience ha! We did it though and are now settled in the new place. The kids have done amazing with the move. </div><div><br></div><div>I also spent a lot of time teaching Sydney at home this summer to help prepare her to take the early entrance test to see if she could start kindergarten. She is so smart and retains every bit of information. She took the test a little over a week ago and we quickly found out that she passed. She will be starting kindergarten this week! I still can't believe she's old enough to be in school. We are so proud of her!</div><div><br></div><div>Some of the fun activities we did were:</div><div><br></div><div>• 4th of July parade and fireworks</div><div>• swim</div><div>• water gun fights</div><div>• car parade</div><div>• jump at indoor trampoline park</div><div>• take the boat out</div><div>• spending the nice nights playing outside with the kids</div><div>• birthday parties</div><div>Next week we are headed to the Oregon coast with my family and I can't wait!</div><div><br></div><div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0-pZkdKOlg3GSlSs-StrTItrpUT6fdIXgkNe8vJfhWoeC0qzSxOvbUHKSOYpj78-QXr1L7DZg_jHQ2OJJZynbx4tUa4PgSM9-u4VPJMyiOVa5aZX-O6yB4fvo8biAaiiSSUksbjRUY92B/s640/blogger-image-2061774479.jpg" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZPxqcVjfHPnOONPjr0Z7n5nMCRcTEemVvryE_ptK8U7pkxPxgaTtxtrhiGOFIkcuPnwGwYV-EFB1377SqxPJwoH9NY-whCUB2aifLkI_RAqb4-d02E0KAHJLAXVJ132x8nig_vZNPeFhq/s640/blogger-image-40436633.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZPxqcVjfHPnOONPjr0Z7n5nMCRcTEemVvryE_ptK8U7pkxPxgaTtxtrhiGOFIkcuPnwGwYV-EFB1377SqxPJwoH9NY-whCUB2aifLkI_RAqb4-d02E0KAHJLAXVJ132x8nig_vZNPeFhq/s640/blogger-image-40436633.jpg"></a></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3xx0kAKf7KdYIlFnUZmFviXe3e1HqVv7zYRMn0ajLBT0ZRHptqlNKwgv4sRsIUNXhkcIN92mXtBBEn0Sf7z9nc70S1R6pDc-MGss_ZLcZP7NUMJqlDVBJgcCEGomjlXp5RO37LtLh5xG-/s640/blogger-image-129119259.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3xx0kAKf7KdYIlFnUZmFviXe3e1HqVv7zYRMn0ajLBT0ZRHptqlNKwgv4sRsIUNXhkcIN92mXtBBEn0Sf7z9nc70S1R6pDc-MGss_ZLcZP7NUMJqlDVBJgcCEGomjlXp5RO37LtLh5xG-/s640/blogger-image-129119259.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9kAWOhhsYv-wSD2N78Ni8XD27wXksydBbvmP9TklYEMCu6LQGrWM2S60IYPOrFwwuprmg_Z6xgAfXi3BUhJyGIcETiqCmUVl0kJV4sP2liXc5mj5wrWHPFr66VVF2eL19BXZcxiquKk2-/s640/blogger-image--2083088150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9kAWOhhsYv-wSD2N78Ni8XD27wXksydBbvmP9TklYEMCu6LQGrWM2S60IYPOrFwwuprmg_Z6xgAfXi3BUhJyGIcETiqCmUVl0kJV4sP2liXc5mj5wrWHPFr66VVF2eL19BXZcxiquKk2-/s640/blogger-image--2083088150.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div>Tashahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12139278512943383523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425785204845993701.post-82479822259443566522014-07-23T14:45:00.001-07:002014-07-25T14:16:49.715-07:002 MonthsJace is 2 months old!

No problems or issues. Landen arrived two weeks early on his own so I was sort of expecting the same thing this time around. Which was a mistake, because that did NOT happen. At 38 weeks I was dialated to a 3, at 39 weeks at a 4, and I figured this boy would come on his own anytime. But he had other ideas so I ended up scheduling to be induced on the 18th just two days shy of my due date. This was my first induction, and I gotta say it was kind of nice! Marshall had been insanely busy at work and one if our employees up and quit on us, so to be able to schedule a time on the weekend when Marshall was already off was really nice! It was also amazing to finally have a baby during the day instead if middle of the night!<div><br></div><div>We arrived at the hospital at 830 in the morning and ended up hanging out and waiting for a little while. They hooked me up for a bit to monitor the baby and around 1030 finally got things started by giving me pitocin and then broke my water. For the first hour on pitocin it didn't really do much. I just has random contractions that weren't the least bit painful. Marshall left to eat lunch before things got crazy and my parents stayed and kept me company. About 1130 the nurse informed me that if I wanted an epidural at any time then it would be about a half hour out when I did ask for it because the anesthesiologist was in a surgery. I decided to go ahead and request it so I could get it before the real pain started. Right after requesting it the contractions started hitting me super close together and they instantly got super painful. The half hour wait ended up being an hour and a half wait so I unfortunately did not get the epidural before feeling quite a lot of pain. After finally getting the epidural the nurse checked me and I was at a 9.5 and informed me that I was pretty close to being too late for the epidural. I was relieved I got it when I did! They had me push through 2 contractions because the baby was turned the wrong way. After those contractions he was turned the right way, I pushed through one more contraction and baby Jace was here! It all went super fast which was really nice! He weighed a whopping 8 lbs 10 ounces and was 21 inches long. We all couldn't believe I was carrying such a big baby! He has been the sweetest and best baby and such a blessing in our family. We all just love him to pieces!</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUZqjF8aEUEWDecQDt5_dQEtUfB7NH5BQtMPTR3-E67Jd8plr4pawOS2mN8FMCl3DpCd-kLtg5DjdrbrvbMcK1g_lvbWvejEvfNQiAJGxGfBHU8-zEbn3_ZoMKMnodhZM3OdQTYMpztNiY/s640/blogger-image-854021317.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUZqjF8aEUEWDecQDt5_dQEtUfB7NH5BQtMPTR3-E67Jd8plr4pawOS2mN8FMCl3DpCd-kLtg5DjdrbrvbMcK1g_lvbWvejEvfNQiAJGxGfBHU8-zEbn3_ZoMKMnodhZM3OdQTYMpztNiY/s640/blogger-image-854021317.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzLr3yMEL4SCPOBN7d4DTC_hTmGmlROW-vcXMCmSwCuXIf4JaiYDZL88joXnuczMdUp_sm1Vr8BgDyU80Ohthlo4hkGfGquLXyWi_RUcST85kF2uX4lOdD1oeo-ASkK-JyezeEaziFIiRC/s640/blogger-image-682376756.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzLr3yMEL4SCPOBN7d4DTC_hTmGmlROW-vcXMCmSwCuXIf4JaiYDZL88joXnuczMdUp_sm1Vr8BgDyU80Ohthlo4hkGfGquLXyWi_RUcST85kF2uX4lOdD1oeo-ASkK-JyezeEaziFIiRC/s640/blogger-image-682376756.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP0EOKZDIiZ1jU1h-z-9eDyna0bQMD7BXkPu10m-1-a2QGLPhGkFYDbP8QbHNRwvuOs_8Fq0hMGLJu9CWOlvXE7Qjm-5DvZUb7cBxgyHTk3T6hfa9qI5iuilqGHNV6W2H7z7vAZGXLavMW/s640/blogger-image--1945222978.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP0EOKZDIiZ1jU1h-z-9eDyna0bQMD7BXkPu10m-1-a2QGLPhGkFYDbP8QbHNRwvuOs_8Fq0hMGLJu9CWOlvXE7Qjm-5DvZUb7cBxgyHTk3T6hfa9qI5iuilqGHNV6W2H7z7vAZGXLavMW/s640/blogger-image--1945222978.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpkiRv2jYNkUc1AwqhbZK2gHIluyT4Xi9_2XybDJlehEtdlGJIU9HWhANc-094py6PjQLOlZa7CQn0AuUI__I8bkF5Fo202lPcuqlVRzWcQqumi7zepii7IE6MDcTZEh1pEWs36o5QcF_m/s640/blogger-image-745150965.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpkiRv2jYNkUc1AwqhbZK2gHIluyT4Xi9_2XybDJlehEtdlGJIU9HWhANc-094py6PjQLOlZa7CQn0AuUI__I8bkF5Fo202lPcuqlVRzWcQqumi7zepii7IE6MDcTZEh1pEWs36o5QcF_m/s640/blogger-image-745150965.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Tashahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12139278512943383523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425785204845993701.post-18341909942468046152014-06-12T09:49:00.001-07:002014-06-12T22:56:38.188-07:00Still HereWell here I am super far behind again and wanting to try to catch up and stay up to date. So much time has passed since the last time I wrote though so I will just give a quick update on each family member. <div><br></div><div>Marshall is back to working and busy busy! He spends his days working all day long and comes home just in time to eat dinner and see the kids briefly before bedtime. We recently acquired a large account that adds a lot more work which is great news. With this addition we will probably be looking for another work truck and employee to help keep up on the work. We have really been trying to get our house sold, and next month we will be moving into Marshall's parents house while they are on a mission. We are hoping to sell our house quickly so that we can start building again soon. </div><div><br></div><div>I had a very uneventful pregnancy this time around which was so nice after having gestational diabetes the last time. We welcomed baby Jace into our family on May 18th, more details on that another time. I am adjusting to life with 3 kids and so far it hasn't been too difficult except for making sure Landen doesn't smother the baby with love. </div><div><br></div><div>Sydney finished and graduated preschool. She loved doing preschool and will definitely miss it. We are hoping she will get to start kindergarten this year but we won't know for sure until right before school starts. </div><div><br></div><div>Landen has quickly grown into a little boy. He loves cars trucks and balls and loves playing outside. He is talking more and more but is hard to understand most of the time. He loves his sister and loves to be doing exactly what she is doing. </div><div><br></div><div>Baby Jace is about 3 weeks old now and is the best baby ever! He sleeps amazingly well at night only waking up to quickly eat then go back to sleep and very rarely wakes up more than twice all night long. He is a very happy and content little guy and we love having him in our family. Life is bit more chaotic now but I'm hoping to try to stay more up to date about what's going on in our lives. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Tashahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12139278512943383523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425785204845993701.post-67541301873778991972013-12-03T12:22:00.001-08:002013-12-03T16:32:08.087-08:00Landen LatelyI haven't done a post about Landen since his first birthday and he has grown so much since then.

I was a little nervous to go, I had never flown with the kids and was worried about going without Marshall. Luckily my parents were on the same flights and they were a big help! Both kids did amazing the whole way there! It was such a relief. <div><br></div><div>We had a great time seeing everyone, all of us siblings were together for a few days which rarely happens. My kids had a blast playing with cousins so many days in a row! While down there we celebrated my brother Tyler's birthday, attended his graduation and were there for the blessing of their newest baby. It was great being there for all the milestones. </div><div><br></div><div>We had fun just hanging out with the family, eating good food, playing, going to the zoo and much more. By the end of the trip we (me) were exhausted from sharing a hotel room with my 2 kids and was definitely ready to get back home to Marshall. We had quite the ordeal trying to get home which is a super long story but we basically got stuck in Denver for an extra day with no luggage. It took us 2 and a half days of traveling to finally make it home. Yikes! Overall I was glad we went and were able to spend time with my family. We love family time!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMA0Cr0F0KNYtJVYyRbfAVL5DzRtW43lywgrgzBUgDZkWOiN0xnmITi1rhzs_vt4Sp1xElNANAGqY5CQNhzxqM6lom3Vo4Yphz20O2KmAOoKsoFVmFAxW6iX-2yDs9hq7QURUI3HpwAKol/s640/blogger-image-1515579896.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMA0Cr0F0KNYtJVYyRbfAVL5DzRtW43lywgrgzBUgDZkWOiN0xnmITi1rhzs_vt4Sp1xElNANAGqY5CQNhzxqM6lom3Vo4Yphz20O2KmAOoKsoFVmFAxW6iX-2yDs9hq7QURUI3HpwAKol/s640/blogger-image-1515579896.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnjEMjsThgxPSOtIjbmPfP8txZqddTtKjYnsgKSQ6wQtEq3SzSgyhNPz9qu9SdQUbUGY7rbGoUpmH8QPJjdYB6BQYg65n1VERCn6XBgNAsjckaR3GjnBytuahKvAmQorYxftAnxLfEJ5sb/s640/blogger-image--64025355.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnjEMjsThgxPSOtIjbmPfP8txZqddTtKjYnsgKSQ6wQtEq3SzSgyhNPz9qu9SdQUbUGY7rbGoUpmH8QPJjdYB6BQYg65n1VERCn6XBgNAsjckaR3GjnBytuahKvAmQorYxftAnxLfEJ5sb/s640/blogger-image--64025355.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG9qZJJHpBPFplR5VRr7CfuUL3Q2VMhLsms0SmZlTdMM_vzaF7o_7hgidf-o3SChz2a3LN8rCR1wkaRQMHwv1E2ZwZeRF1NPTuYsUmDLlLs0SKm7NsbWfAWaDl2kaHbEqZtodn0JznHURe/s640/blogger-image--307315336.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG9qZJJHpBPFplR5VRr7CfuUL3Q2VMhLsms0SmZlTdMM_vzaF7o_7hgidf-o3SChz2a3LN8rCR1wkaRQMHwv1E2ZwZeRF1NPTuYsUmDLlLs0SKm7NsbWfAWaDl2kaHbEqZtodn0JznHURe/s640/blogger-image--307315336.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitHvtTE4SuGFAuiExxtO3c_v5oS3mkcdvumLW9aHsZ4hHgev23bjasVMK-huMHOq7pV6za_nvj5GjWsqHFB02ujcrXTrQjegaMA43jnHHBR2cwWzmEUEjE36dFiwgQpHnHII80dkZAMETt/s640/blogger-image-1489036108.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitHvtTE4SuGFAuiExxtO3c_v5oS3mkcdvumLW9aHsZ4hHgev23bjasVMK-huMHOq7pV6za_nvj5GjWsqHFB02ujcrXTrQjegaMA43jnHHBR2cwWzmEUEjE36dFiwgQpHnHII80dkZAMETt/s640/blogger-image-1489036108.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZAPWEYNL7EY7tkCh1W4dnLG7gNxUGpz5eaPifgzeAZCIjOTcNUOHBsyttiI6wmw_OI1g3p5gv0ywKfow4d3mZRMjtncYrwW2fnEpCgLy_5wQsnbOkgr-QfNl_YqABd2X4Or41Y2UBwYpJ/s640/blogger-image-1889586854.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZAPWEYNL7EY7tkCh1W4dnLG7gNxUGpz5eaPifgzeAZCIjOTcNUOHBsyttiI6wmw_OI1g3p5gv0ywKfow4d3mZRMjtncYrwW2fnEpCgLy_5wQsnbOkgr-QfNl_YqABd2X4Or41Y2UBwYpJ/s640/blogger-image-1889586854.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Tashahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12139278512943383523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425785204845993701.post-23913072858434952642013-11-20T11:21:00.001-08:002013-11-20T11:21:16.890-08:00Trying To Catch UpOh man.

Sydney's Birthday Celebrations<br />
<br />
Sydney's birthday was on September 1st which fell on a Sunday this year. The whole day we did what she wanted to do. Her main request was to have my parents and sister over for dinner. And for dinner she chose spaghetti with meatballs, cottage cheese, and tomatoes. Its her fave! For dessert instead of cake she wanted brownies with ice cream. So we stuck candles in the brownie pan and sang to her (which she hated), and then she opened presents from us. We felt like this year as soon as her birthday hit she had a bigger attitude. I guess that's what happens when you are 4. It was a fun day spending time with her and family.<br />

The weekend before her birthday she had a combined friend party with her cousin Livi. We had it at a gymnastics place and they had so much fun! After planning Landen's big birthday party it was nice to have it at a place where little planning was required! And it was just what the girls wanted!<br />

Preschool<br />
<br />
Sydney started preschool this year and so far it is going great! We have really gone back and forth with deciding whether she will start kindergarten next year or wait til the following year. We have decided that we will start her next year even though she will be barely 5 and the youngest in her class. I am excited that she is doing preschool this year to help prepare her for kindergarten. She loves going, she is doing great, and I love that I have 3 hours in the morning 3 times a week to do what I want! It has been so nice!<br />

Arizona<br />
<br />
The kids and I flew down to Arizona with my parents and sister to visit my brother Tyler and his family. I will do another post about this one later, but it was so nice to go and see family we don't see very often!<br />

Birthday<br />
<br />
I had a birthday and turned 26! My SIL Julie took my kids most of the day and I got to do whatever I wanted ALL DAY LONG. That NEVER happens and it was amazing! That night Marshall and I went on a date and it was just what I needed. It was a good day and I still feel like a teenager! Ha!<br />
<br />
Anniversary<br />
<br />
We celebrated our 7th Anniversary this year! It is crazy to me that we've already been married 7 years. I look forward to many more to come! We celebrated by going to dinner and then we went shopping for a new TV. Super exciting stuff. Haha! I love my hubbs and I am so lucky to have him!<br />

Enter Pinterest. I started just browsing ideas for birthday parties and I just got so excited to plan something bigger. I had SO much fun planning and putting it all together and even told Marshall that I could totally be a party planner and I would love every minute. I didn't want a character type party because c'mon, the boy is only one and he has no favorite characters at this point. I saw a few ideas for rainbow/primary color parties and I thought it would be perfect for a first birthday, so I went with it. I didn't want it to be too girly so I omitted the purple. Overall I think things went good, there are things I would change or do differently, but overall I was happy with how it turned out.<br>

I really thought Landen would get into his smash cake, but he was very calm and relaxed about it and just took tiny little bites.<br>

A few times he went in face first to have a little taste. And he kept wanting to share bites with anyone that was standing nearby. But he really didn't end up making too big of a mess.<br>

Landen loves his Grandpas, so it was fitting that he spent a lot of his party hanging out with my Dad. He even opened presents with Grandpa.<br>

I remember so vividly the day and evening before I had him. It seems like just yesterday. It really is an amazing thing, adding a baby to the family. It always takes some adjusting and getting used to. But that new baby fits right in and instantly belongs, and that's how it was with Landen. He took his place in our family and we can't imagine life without our sweet boy. He just fits so perfectly. We love him. To pieces. We spent the day celebrating with friends and family and loving on him. I will post about his party later.<br>

So when some friends invited us to go with them to Silverwood theme and water park we jumped at the chance! Waking up the day of our trip I think I was more excited than Sydney was. She had never been anywhere like this so it was a whole new experience. It is so fun to see her get excited and enjoy new things! We were able to leave Landen home with family so we were able to enjoy ourselves with just one kid!<div><br></div><div>We spent the first part of the day taking the kids (Sydney and her friend Noah) on the kid rides. We rode the train, Ferris wheel, giant swing, bumper boats, little roller coaster, and carousel. It was pure bliss! </div><div><br></div><div>Around lunch time we started getting too hot so we changed into our swim suits and hit the water park! Ohhhh the water park. It was so nice. The kids got a little cold and they weren't tall enough to go on any of the slides but we still enjoyed it. We spent some time in the wave pool, and a lot of time in the lazy river. I love floating the lazy river! I could stay there the whole time and be happy! </div><div><br></div><div>After playing in the water we hurried over to the last magic show of the day and were super disappointed when they wouldn't let us in because it was too full. At the last minute one of the workers snuck us in and made room. We were so happy! Sydney had been looking forward to it all day. She ended up sitting on Marshall's lap and staring in a trance the whole time. </div><div><br></div><div>After the magic show Tiph and I got in line and rode a few roller coasters. It was fun to ride a couple adult rides. We left late that night to head back home, and we were all super exhausted from the fun day. Sydney still asks on a daily basis when we are going back and I can't wait to take her again! Maybe next year!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihew4ST6cB7LjphA3MzBlVwbwAyBp-Xcd9f8cHrpNq2zYl23nto14ueVrLSzb9DRTsaz0YrTjkjy9Qxi0_qeKfoq6_o8VPwwZRBW4Mr86ZBPAuqbj1oggyCvJH4zyx4L4Kr3RrwybE_EnH/s640/blogger-image--1131847388.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihew4ST6cB7LjphA3MzBlVwbwAyBp-Xcd9f8cHrpNq2zYl23nto14ueVrLSzb9DRTsaz0YrTjkjy9Qxi0_qeKfoq6_o8VPwwZRBW4Mr86ZBPAuqbj1oggyCvJH4zyx4L4Kr3RrwybE_EnH/s640/blogger-image--1131847388.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCXt5O4mlQCGyNptlvw99SIjbHOQNmVWZTTElwDU8XRV5I-RetJBywdRvJSEPpvszDvdt19ojKjs6cyLzVe9_AIuArg7mWhDczhNXaNe-N29Rq_5W6ICWBdwuFLssQsTlJOg_zCDdjqOua/s640/blogger-image--1518283327.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCXt5O4mlQCGyNptlvw99SIjbHOQNmVWZTTElwDU8XRV5I-RetJBywdRvJSEPpvszDvdt19ojKjs6cyLzVe9_AIuArg7mWhDczhNXaNe-N29Rq_5W6ICWBdwuFLssQsTlJOg_zCDdjqOua/s640/blogger-image--1518283327.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhMgaItXk8uQnJszrenc0lUQCYZNyy-Nll45nxksCK5LGxRqgawLcYs09zozxapUaRFFSArZv1r3KiDrV0UFaVPU652-nA_3rwAAPMg27ryQDljroM1BuBGhx8B8POsI3knmk8GBzcGMPK/s640/blogger-image--351711691.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhMgaItXk8uQnJszrenc0lUQCYZNyy-Nll45nxksCK5LGxRqgawLcYs09zozxapUaRFFSArZv1r3KiDrV0UFaVPU652-nA_3rwAAPMg27ryQDljroM1BuBGhx8B8POsI3knmk8GBzcGMPK/s640/blogger-image--351711691.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOX-C0YIoZSgIvIRP-fyCDiUuXCNx3cscBC7Il8jEhOqc8xpOiyMWpJAMIeVPi_RRt7t1cqHREes-WceJFinZy57v_AQlf6FZ1zVTcD7HpTxe0qGX-YozNdl7ATR3QufgShUGOLtU5n72P/s640/blogger-image-1915451892.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOX-C0YIoZSgIvIRP-fyCDiUuXCNx3cscBC7Il8jEhOqc8xpOiyMWpJAMIeVPi_RRt7t1cqHREes-WceJFinZy57v_AQlf6FZ1zVTcD7HpTxe0qGX-YozNdl7ATR3QufgShUGOLtU5n72P/s640/blogger-image-1915451892.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0h8w5iLweYlyE2alBggUDl38ROIWAIH6kbnQgSBrFccItplDgWHZgntPx7JyYgcCd_-2XOGy5cKvyXkS8AUcVjDC3zpEnZO5w19263olYOErZBcg9thsJyze7Ji1h34qpauv3BdjJuaD6/s640/blogger-image-335114031.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0h8w5iLweYlyE2alBggUDl38ROIWAIH6kbnQgSBrFccItplDgWHZgntPx7JyYgcCd_-2XOGy5cKvyXkS8AUcVjDC3zpEnZO5w19263olYOErZBcg9thsJyze7Ji1h34qpauv3BdjJuaD6/s640/blogger-image-335114031.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TTuRkKwbWOyvjOSr6pcTCx7aHTLJnP0OGZHgl0QQCfR9p9RbQUpIMRdtxhdGYuQxkh3JMhOr15Wqa2tpRmwFo6N9KDls1q3lG5pAw_J58-4k3FtiW4a-7OULGde2knbYYI39EZqgCoQO/s640/blogger-image--1497121994.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TTuRkKwbWOyvjOSr6pcTCx7aHTLJnP0OGZHgl0QQCfR9p9RbQUpIMRdtxhdGYuQxkh3JMhOr15Wqa2tpRmwFo6N9KDls1q3lG5pAw_J58-4k3FtiW4a-7OULGde2knbYYI39EZqgCoQO/s640/blogger-image--1497121994.jpg"></a></div></div>Tashahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12139278512943383523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425785204845993701.post-60561021858560838932013-07-23T09:40:00.001-07:002013-07-23T10:11:38.144-07:00Our 11 Month Old BoyIt is so crazy that in just a few weeks we will be celebrating Landen's 1st Birthday.

I was a little worried about taking both kids, but luckily my sister was able to come with us and help out pushing one stroller. Sydney loves parades and had been excited for weeks for the 4th. The parade was lots of fun and even Landen did great! He loved watching until the end when the fire trucks and police cars came through with their sirens on and he got scared pretty good. <div>
<br></div>
<div>
After the parade we got together with friends for swimming and a barbecue. Sydney loved having friends to play with and it we had lots of yummy food! We all left and went home and napped in preparation for staying up late for fireworks! When it was time we loaded up and headed to the Pasco side of the river to watch. The kiddos loved it and it was so worth keeping them up way past bedtime! The 4th is one of Sydney's favorite holidays and she is already counting down for next year.</div>

We are so grateful for this country we live in and for the freedoms we enjoy!

I like to keep things pretty upbeat and happy around here. But I don't want to put up a front and act like life is perfect either. I feel like when people do that they aren't being honest, and I want to be honest. I don't like when people pretend like nothing ever goes wrong in their life or they never have hard days. Or that they have a perfect marriage and perfect kids. We all have struggles. Nobody's life is perfect.<br />
<br />
I have struggled lately with how people perceive me. What people think of me. How they judge me. What people say about me when I'm not around. I would love to say that I don't care what others think, but I do. We all want acceptance, friendship and love. I have realized that no matter how I live my life or who I surround myself with SOMEONE will ALWAYS judge me or think negatively of me. This was a hard realization for me. I don't want anyone to think negatively of me. I try so hard to be a good person, mom, wife, friend, etc and to realize that people won't like me regardless is sad. I spent a lot of time on me knees on this subject and was so comforted to receive an answer one night after a rough day with lots of tears. Prove them wrong. That's the answer I got. Prove them wrong. It was reiterated the following day while chatting with a friend. Prove them wrong.<br />
<br />
So I'm setting out to do this. I am a good person. I will prove those who think otherwise wrong.<br />
<br />
And to those who are constantly thinking negatively, judging poorly, and talking about others when they are not around, we are all human, we all have feelings. Nobody should be judged unfairly, or talked bad about. So stop. This is something I need to work on also, we all do. So please, coming from someone who has been judged unfairly, please stop. Stop before gossiping. Stop before judging, and thinking or saying negative things about people. It hurts. And nobody deserves that. Just stop.<br />

She is so smart and she remembers EVERYTHING. She likes to be the boss and she is so beyond her years. She acts like an adult half the time. She is very shy around people she doesn't know and won't talk to most people. She enjoyed doing preschool this year with a few friends, and I enjoyed teaching every few weeks. Preschool is now out for the summer and next year she will be heading to a new preschool with a new teacher! She enjoyed doing gymnastics and dance class, and she loves playing with friends, especially at the park.<div><br></div><div>She is in sunbeams at church and she loves it. She received the most reverent award a while ago for being reverent. But really she is just so shy she just sits there and doesn't talk :)<br><div><br></div><div>Now that it's summer we plan to play at the park a lot, and on our swing set and kiddie pool. We are also taking a trip to silverwood and to the Oregon coast. Sydney is excited for 4th of July and has been counting down the months since last year. She loves the fireworks! </div><div><br></div><div>She is such a great big sister and is so helpful! She makes sure Landen has whatever he needs, snacks, toys, etc. She also makes sure he stays out of trouble and will carry him and bring him to me if she thinks he's doing something he shouldn't be. </div><div><br></div><div>She is turning 4 in September and already can't wait for kindergarten. She has always been my little buddy and when I was pregnant with Landen I was afraid that would change. But she is still my sweet buddy that does everything with me! Love her to pieces!</div><div>

So I'm sneaking one in before yet another Landen post :)<br>
<br>
Life at our house has been great. Sydney has been enjoying preschool, dance class and playing with friends. Landen is getting so big and his personality is really starting to come through. Marshall is busy with work, church calling, soccer, etc. I am busy doing the usual mom, wife, home, work stuff. Our house is still up for sale, no real bites on it yet which is ok with me. Marshall and I recently ran our first 5k, he wasn't planning on running it with me but last minute my running buddy backed out. He was super sweet and volunteered to run with me so I didn't have to run alone. My time wasn't amazing, but my goal was to run the whole time and I did! I am doing another one in July called the run or dye that looks way fun!<br>
<br>
A few weeks ago I was able to attend Time Out For Women in Spokane. I had an amazing time. I left feeling so uplifted and ready to take on whatever is thrown my way. The speakers were great and it was so good to have some time away with a fun group of ladies. We shopped, went out to eat, stayed up late talking and it was just a much needed break. If you ever have the chance to go to a TOFW conference GO! I already can't wait for next year!<div><br></div><div>Stay tuned for Landen's 9 month post and one about Sydney too!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXDWH04RbCXPssCv-A5wZJ00OUMVRTgmDtQAocK4vTtzi3HPxYJIg4I2IgB-mieUA18etnlp3MOLZtpH7wYn_F_2k-R46i8SoESuGot-Yh8ohQwoBam-4xOleClSBjzUkqufl_FBo5Y8ZD/s640/blogger-image--145577433.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXDWH04RbCXPssCv-A5wZJ00OUMVRTgmDtQAocK4vTtzi3HPxYJIg4I2IgB-mieUA18etnlp3MOLZtpH7wYn_F_2k-R46i8SoESuGot-Yh8ohQwoBam-4xOleClSBjzUkqufl_FBo5Y8ZD/s640/blogger-image--145577433.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN0y3r-8plLcAypJAYvDda0alW0tZiZIQEO1wekFyIga-u5ThgZeYm82u8SemWlSrQjHnmiN5nJMoELG6Iq8syCMo5R-GT7vM87lvZMO0Tco4rfHa_X-YI6mK7NzieJw5VCdwuLUb_eFR4/s640/blogger-image-85778672.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN0y3r-8plLcAypJAYvDda0alW0tZiZIQEO1wekFyIga-u5ThgZeYm82u8SemWlSrQjHnmiN5nJMoELG6Iq8syCMo5R-GT7vM87lvZMO0Tco4rfHa_X-YI6mK7NzieJw5VCdwuLUb_eFR4/s640/blogger-image-85778672.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYtX5rW36KEhHqu4J94Na582kWNxUgZxDvprfShyphenhyphenJ6W1ZF3T8z1VZqjEWDiP_0ycCqWyjv2pmHXKrpcKupu9DAYSuBAiWNlSI5OV1U19ZxisY6ZjRYKbVz-kG4tYntJCIrvc7n24RqyKp_/s640/blogger-image-62722098.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYtX5rW36KEhHqu4J94Na582kWNxUgZxDvprfShyphenhyphenJ6W1ZF3T8z1VZqjEWDiP_0ycCqWyjv2pmHXKrpcKupu9DAYSuBAiWNlSI5OV1U19ZxisY6ZjRYKbVz-kG4tYntJCIrvc7n24RqyKp_/s640/blogger-image-62722098.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmVfNc2J0vm6vjVyI6XQOOq6wIHV6635yXGBiczN2zsPYnl3RiPi2OKi3Hpl1uLmiIU9ubnBZSIfD5MnkH4LLJNJcokKJXif4FVGWb7NMGFV1lFsjcnsP-VMjpRvk1_IDFppkp23WE7myA/s640/blogger-image-2066108705.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmVfNc2J0vm6vjVyI6XQOOq6wIHV6635yXGBiczN2zsPYnl3RiPi2OKi3Hpl1uLmiIU9ubnBZSIfD5MnkH4LLJNJcokKJXif4FVGWb7NMGFV1lFsjcnsP-VMjpRvk1_IDFppkp23WE7myA/s640/blogger-image-2066108705.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Tashahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12139278512943383523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425785204845993701.post-6087365543989495042013-04-23T14:46:00.000-07:002013-04-27T11:46:36.075-07:00EightAnother month has flown by and our sweet boy is already 8 months old. A lot has happened in the last month with him!<br />
<br />
~He sits up like a pro now<br />
~He army crawls to get around<br />
~He got his first tooth<br />
~He loves food<br />
~He weighs somewhere around 19 lbs 5 ounces<br />
~He wears 18 month size clothes<br />
~He likes riding in the car and bath time<br />
~He hates diaper/clothes changes as soon as he knows whats about to happen he starts doing the crocodile death roll (seriously, if you don't know what I mean look up croc death roll on YouTube)<br />
~Fake laughs when other people are laughing<br />
~Sleeps with his bum straight up in the air, I need to try to get a pic because its so cute<br />
~Is really starting to show his little personality <br />
~Sleeps so good every night (yay!)<br />
<br />
We love this boy! We especially love seeing both kids play together, and it is so apparent that they adore each other! <br />
