Update

Alright. Just wanted to update on Braxton's "issues". After 3 days of no naps and over a month of waking up once at night taking an hour or more to fall back asleep we have solved the problem! For the last 3 days Braxton has taken 3 amazing naps and has slept 11.5 hours at night without waking for 2 nights in a row! He is back to his happy, sweet, content self! Life is going good again. I have 2 children who are happy and content and they have a mom who is happy and content. The home is just all around a happy place to be again! YAY!!

Breaking Point

When is my breaking point. I think I am reaching it quite quickly. Braxton just refuses to take good naps the last 2 days. No naps for him=cranky baby. I have tried all i know. Swaddling, unswaddling, rocking to settle, crying himself, name it, i have done it. He wont settle down. i put him down at 4 and is still crying at 4:40. He sleeps good during the night which is good but come on, the day is a killer. It gets to the point that i wonder what the heck was i thinking starting a family when i was so darn young. Don't get me wrong, i love my children and would never trade them for the world. But if you are a mother you know those moments come when you think, "what would it be like without these kids." I hope i can fix it soon because i am reaching my breaking point. And for those of you who know me, unfortunatly it does not take me long to get there. Any advice i would be happy to hear it! Thanks for listening to me vent.


PS: by the end of writing this he has settled down. maybe i have done something right!

Just Darn Cute

Just some random pictures that I took. I love my little family. I thank God every day for my adorable family! I love them so much. You never understand a mother's love until you are one! Being a mom and a wife is the best thing in the world.

Flower Garden

Macade loves to help me water the flower beds i have in the back yard. It is one of his chores and luckily he likes this one. (Well, actually, he likes most of them. Odd. I will enjoy this while i can!!)

Little cutie watering!

My relief Society is doing a Zucchini growing contest! Its my first time growing anything edible. Wish me luck!

Funny Comment!!

Alright, i went on a posting spree today so make sure you read the 3 post today if you have some time to waste:-) So today I was getting Macade ready and we went into the bathroom to do his hair. He is in dire need of a haircut so i could not do my normal spike because it looked really odd with such long hari. So i styled it in a mohawk instead. It was the first time i had done this. When i was all done i told him to look in the mirror at his new style. He turned and smiled and said...

"Am I a dinasour today?"

Ha Ha. I did not even think of that. That it looked like a fin on one of his dinasours. Kids think of the funniest things. I laughed pretty hard at that one. I love this kid. He brings such joy into my life!

First Bites

Ok so i am little behind on this one. About 2 weeks ago, Friday the 12th, Braxton had his first bites of solids. It was fun to feed to him. He struggled of course the first couple times but now he is a pro. He is a very fast learner just like his brother. We love it! I have a video of the big occasion but just did not upload it. Sorry!

"Oooh something new."

"What the heck was that stuff mom?"

"Oh No, not again!!"

Summer Festival

On Saturday we went to the festival at the park. We just went to the Police cars and Fire trucks for Macade and then let him play in the children's play zone! It was fun and Macade had a blast. Something about watching your kids have fun makes you have fun! I love it!

Happy Father's Day

Oh I loved those times when I would sit at home and just wait for that garage door to open and hear your truck rumble on in telling me you're home for the day. The Best!

Oh I remember when we would walk side by side with my arm in yours and you would give mine a little squeeze with that cute smile of yours. The Best!

Oh I remember the times I would sit in the office and listen to you in the shower breaking out in one of your many favorite tunes. The Best!

Oh I remember that smile and bear hug you would give me when I would come home for holidays or just for the heck of it. The Best!

Oh I remember the many times I would tell you how much I love you and with your most sincere and beautiful tone you would repeat those words back. The Best!


Oh how I can not wait to have all of that again! But for now I will just "Oh Remember" cause I am happy I have that!


Happy Father's Day Daddy. I love you. You're The Best!!

Happy Birthday

Today is Cory's birthday. He is slowly creeping toward the year he exits out of his twenties while his beautiful, youthful wife still has quite a few years till she exits her "youth". I asked Macade what he wanted to get Daddy for his birthday and he said balloons! So we went to the party store and he picked out the balloons for daddy all by himself. He was very proud. I told Cory i would make him any cake his little heart desired, his dream cake. Really, any shape, flavor, type, texture, ingredients, anything. You know what he chose...Rainbow chip cake from a box with rainbow chip frosting. I love my simple husband. So here is a shout out to the love of my life....Happy Birthday honey. I love you so much!

4 months

Crazy to think i have had little Braxton for 4 months already. Time has gone so fast. I cherish every moment with my little monkey and love him to pieces. Some new things that Braxton does:

-Able to grab things with his hands. Loves playing with toys now
-Loves to read book by himself, mom, macade or dad!
-Has great foot eye coordination
-Rolls from his back to his tummy
-Loves tummy time
-Loves when i sing songs to him and Macade
-Smiles and giggles all the time
-Is a little dare devil. No Fear just like his brother!

Just a Walkin'

We headed out to the water again for a beautiful summer's walk. Macade earns these walks by helping around the house and being a good listener and obeying (all recent FHE lessons). He loves to go and throw the rocks.

Macade and Daddy, He played in the Water, threw rocks and rode his bike! (And no, i am not talking about Cory:-)

Braxton and Mommy enjoying life!

We've got another one who loves being outside. He loved dangling his feet in the water!

Daddy's Funeral

So I said that I would post pictures of my Daddy's funeral. It was a difficult day to get through, as you can imagine, but really a beautiful one. David and Trent both spoke followed by Jeff and Kris Page singing "Consider the Lilies". Then it was closed by Uncle Doug, Daddy's brother. It was a wonderful tribute for my Father!!

The Pallbearers were honored to carry my Father to his final resting place in Salt Lake City Cemetary. They included some of my Dad's dearest friends: Barrie Brewer and Steve Kambell. Of course my brothers: David Wright & Trenton Wright. My husband and brother-in-law: Cory Ross & Mark Morrell and my Dad's brother and brother-in-law: Doug Wright & Kirk Mackert. What a sight to see!
