My week

This week has been a really hard week for me. I didn't even look at the piled up laundry, I have avoided the dishes all week. Having to hand wash a bowl, cup or silverware out of the sink because I have let it get that bad. A lot of crying on Landen while he sweetly listens. My precious babes are on my last nerve. I have no patience and I feel like I've been yelling more than I ever want. I hate yelling. Who likes yelling? No one should. I feel so awful about all of it. I feel bad that I don't spend more one on one time with my boys. Having two babies, especially so close in age it's hard to share my time with the both of them. While also cooking and cleaning up and cleaning up and cleaning up after them again and again and again. They are into everything and it's just been hard on me. It's been the lonnnnnngest week. They are only little for such a short time I want to embrace it and cherish all the little moments, but this week has been hard. I think as a Mom you always feel like you can do better and my boys mean everything to me. I want to be the best for them and teach them great things and give them all the attention and love they could ever want beacaue they do deserve it.  I can't be the only one to feel this way. Hopefully this coming week will be much better and I'll be in better spirits so my attitude will be better and everything else will follow.  I'm so grateful for such healthy, smart, beautiful, wonderful, smiley boys. A wonderful loving, caring husband and a cute apartment to live in, oh and the slobbery Biggie dog too. 

Also, thank you Pinterest for giving me some motivation with these few quotes. 







Lastly, I apologize if my blog looks funny on whatever your reading it on. I always just use my iPhone to write and upload my pictures and I'm not sure how the layout looks. I appreciate everyone that actually reads my blog because if you have a blog, I probably read yours too :) you little cuties.

Aquarium

The living planet aquarium opened up two or so weeks ago and my mom took us to see it! It's huge and it's cool. And I mean really cool. I touched the butt..(nemo joke) I actually touched a starfish and a sea urchant! There was a ton to see and the penguins and otters are the cutest. There's so much to see and lugging a huge stroller around while chasing after a running toddler on the loose you can't exactly squeeze in the crowds. So we checked out Everythjng very quickly. There was a tunnel made of all glass and sharks could swim above you and right past your face. It was awesome. Everyone should go check it out. It's pretty pricey but the tickets we got gave you a chance to come back for free anytime between now and the end of August. Quite a few tanks and things weren't open yet and the animals weren't in them yet so I'm sure they will be there soon! Overall it was really awesome. I Think you should go if you haven't!

Black & White

Photos that is. I've been loving black and white photos! 

Lately, my boys like to watch a movie over and over again. This time around is Tangled. I recorded it from Disney channel and now it's been on repeat. Even if it's just playing in the background while we make fun messes all over the house (apt). So that's what we are doing at the moment. As well as stacking every block to make the highest block tower, EVER!

Noah is walking like it's no ones business and pretty much just looks drunk. He's a cutie. It's so fun to see him stumble around even though he crawls so fast. He still insists on walking. 

The other day me and one of my BFF Shantelle took a girls morning/afternoon with no babies and went to breakfast (which was amazing because I have been juicing) at a cute place downtown. We tried to go to park cafe but it was a lonnnng wait so we went to Penny Anns down the street! If was so much fun and the pancakes were phenomenal. I don't even usually like pancakes but those were heeeaaavenly. Go try them now. Don't walk, RUN. Then we got some coffee (extra shot of espresso, NEVER AGAIN will I do that. Especially after not having coffee in over a week because of my juicing) and ventured to Target. Where else, right? Tons of makeup was on sale and so we had a hay day. (Whatever that means) Got a bunch of new lipstick that's crazy colors. Shan was hesitant on hers. She looks like a gem- as usual- but I know she's wearing her purple/plum color today. So if you see her make sure you compliment her ;) 

We ended our weekend with one of our friends, Colby, homecoming. He was in Canada. It was so good to see him!! I was also super excited because my friend Evelyn from Puddle Jump It (blog) is Colby's sister in law and she is amazing! I love her. We hardly ever see each other. So any chance we get to get together is a good one. But we are pen pals! She and her husband live a lot more south than us and go to BYU so we don't see them often enough! They have a cutie patoot daughter, Talia. Sasuke and get get along really well! 

That's all for now :)

Enjoy...




The place we didn't go...


 
Landen ordered these from Hawaii! I've wanted some forever. If you don't know how cool these are then you don't know how cool these are. Make sense?

No brush to blow dry my hair. Results in this cute mess.



That mop.










Noah likes to wear undies, on his head
