Dear Diary....


I haven't been very good at taking pictures this month...I looked in my camera and the only pics I have taken were for work. I will do better. But I wanted to update everyone on what we've been up to. Utah can't seem to get ready for spring. I really don't mind cold weather and snow during the winter...but the end of March, come on. It has been depressing for me and it's been a hard couple of weeks. I thought this picture would lift my spirits but it just makes me want to go on a trip somewhere warm. Someday :) So this month, we have just been hanging out, trying to entertain kids while I work a minimum of 4 hours a day in my home office. I love my job and it's pretty much a necessity right now since the banking world isn't the best at the moment. But it's a hard balance, only work at home mommies can understand. I have suffered from OCD and anxiety my whole life and stress just takes it to a whole new level. So to most people, I have it together but I just blame it on my OCD for making it look that way! Anyway, maybe venting these thought will make the weather warm up, or make the next 7 days pass fast until I can head south with my girlfriends for a 3 day getaway. I will do better at taking pictures, since my little men are growing up faster than I can believe. Colty is talking my ear off all day and Troy is growing into a little explorer, engineer, and entertainer all in one. Life is good. Happiness is a choice that I must make daily. These are things that I have to tell myself everyday. I am so blessed. I know these times are crazy but things will calm down.....eventually....someday. So there you have it, my downer post. Kev things blogs are fake since they only show every one's happy times, so Kev, this one is for you :)

Night at the Cabin

We went up to Jenna's families cabin on Saturday night for a little getaway. The weather was great, the snow was fresh and we had a blast. My highlights were getting to sleep in AND have a 2 hour nap in the same day. I loved the dark bedrooms! We got to snowmobile, sled and just relax. All 3 boys were great, it was amazing how much fun they had with no TV and only a few of Maddox's baby toys :) Thanks, Brett & Jenna for the fun memories!




Can you even tell this is me??? This wasn't even the best view from the top!


Buddies Maddox and Colt



Boy cousins are the best!

Brett's new sled that he build to pull up the luggage from the car...Troy loved riding in it!


Jenna & Maddox


This kid will not get off the 4 wheeler and snowmobile. He is going to do something with speed when he grows up!



View from the loft of the cabin. So pretty.
