Rest of July



Sunday we hosted dinner with the Bodine’s for Kelli & Myla’s Birthday, we did homemade pizzas so all afternoon I made the dough and Lucas grilled it a little bit so it was easier for the kids and adults to make and bring out to grill. I thought it would be fun and easy and it was a lot of work but everyone loved it. 
My family stayed for another week but Lucas started his first day at ATI Physical Therapy for his clinical rotation. He has 10 weeks there so hopefully it’s a good experience for him. Tuesday we went to Nanna’s for dinner and caught up with them. Then Myla and I had to go over every morning to my parents house to feed the dogs so that was a good way to get out of the house. Wednesday we went to Uptown Jungle with Audrey, Jess Sneed and Tayzia and wore the kids out. Thursday I busted out the inflatable pool for Myla and she didn’t care for it too much.
 Friday afternoon we left to go up to the Skousen’s Cabin with the Packard’s. We carpooled with them and Myla and Brady did much better in the car having each other to look at and make faces and share toys. We got to the cabin around 8ish and unpacked and got the kids to bed and played games. Saturday we went to breakfast at Darby’s and it was delicious then we went back and played games outside then took naps. After naps we had lunch and went on a walk to the lake and played more games outside. The weather was gorgeous so we soaked up all the time we could outside. We did a mini photo shoot with the kids and Chloe and Myla fought over to hold Brady’s hands. Then we had dinner and played more games that night. We had a lot fun and a lot of laughter. Sunday we went to church and then cleaned up and went home. 
 
Tuesday I watched Olivia Olsen so I could trade with Taylor and she watched Myla Wednesday so she could get school done and I could get work done. Wednesday the 24th was Audrey’s due date for the baby she miscarried so TJ asked if Jess and I could go hang out with her in the morning to be with her to help distract for the sadness she was feeling that day. So i brought over Açaí bowls and face masks for us to do and we had a good time talking and hanging out. Trennon and Cari Anne moves into their house that day too but we didn’t make it over until Friday to see it. The house is beautiful and they seemed so happy to have their own place! Saturday we did indoor rock climbing with the Sneed’s and that was a lot of fun! First time doing a double with them and could see more happening. Sunday we went to the Bodine’s for dinner and played Mesaopoly for a little bit and some instruments and enjoyed spending time with them. This was also the first night we really decided to sleep train Myla and she was in the crib crying for about 20 minutes and she stopped but was still sitting up but bobbing her head back and forth. So many times it looked like she was going to fall over but she would throw her self back and sway some more. Lucas and I watched her for about 5 minutes just dying laughing because she wouldn’t give in and fall over. Finally she did fall over and it was kind of hard but she then got comfy and stayed asleep the whole night. So that was amazing! Monday I went to the awesome indoor toddler place at San Tan Mall.
My pogo pass expires August 4th so I’m trying to use up all my activities before it expires. Tuesday Bromley and I played racquetball and the bet was if I won I got to take his shirts he was trying to sell for Lucas to have and if he won I would have to buy them from him. Sure enough I won! I wish I could play more, it’s such a great workout and so fun. Then we went to Cheesecake Factory after with Trennon and Cari Anne too and celebrate National Cheesecake day. Wednesday we went to the Idea Museum again to use up a pogo pass use. That night Lucas and I went to see the Millet girls and Will perform in Mary Poppins and they all did great! That sums up the last 2 weeks of July!

September First Camping Trip with Myla

  Started out with Labor Day and Lucas had it off so Micah joined us on a bike ride. We we’re still watching the Millett’s so we had Jane sleep over so she could watch Myla while we rode. Then we had breakfast and hung out there and then had all the cousins over for a swim party to celebrate Alli & Jacobs birthday. Myla started developing a rash around her eyes and mouth that seems to be caused from heat. It flares up in the car and after naps. So hopefully it will go away soon. We had Sunday dinner with my family and the boys had fun laughing Myla around In a box. This week I filmed Traci Beagley and her breast cancer journey and it was very powerful and I’m glad I was able to be apart of bringing awareness to so many. I just had another afternoon with the Millett’s. Next I went to the library with Tayzia for baby Olympics.  Then that night we went to the ASU game with the Packard’s and Trennon & Cari Anne. We got shaved ice that smelt like gasoline so that wa...

Now What?

This past month has been different and not quite what I was expecting. This whole semester I had been working hard for ADI and with the hope that they would hire me on after the internship was over. They had been telling me multiple times that they love me and are trying to get a position open to keep me here for good. Having that said I was kind of banking of getting hired post graduation. Well a couple weeks ago Sue took me to lunch to inform me that they actually do not have a position available because Hotel Site Select has not taken off as fast as they were hoping and they will not have the money to pay me. I was pretty upset and sad because I really LOVE this business, and the other employees are so good to me, and I was already making my future plans to be with them. That lunch meeting was not the happiest, and I was pretty down the next week or so. Many thoughts began to run through my head about being jobless, and how am I going to pay off my loans, and where should I apply no...

October Beginning of Holidays

Image
First day of the month and we had the Bodine ladies over for sister lunch which was really refreshing since we had been home all week not feeling good. It was a good time like always, I’m glad to have them as my sister in laws! Friday we did pickleball with the Skousen’s, Packard’s, and Standage’s for date night and it was super fun to be active and have a group date night! Saturday I had a Romanian Pentecostal wedding that was from 8:30am-7:30pm. It was looong but fairly easy since there is a lot of driving to different locations. It was also conference so I listened to a little bit during the drives. Sunday we started potty training... again. We woke up and “threw” the diapers away and made Myla say goodbye to them and she gladly did. Then we put on underwear and told her to tell us every time she has to go. She had about 7 accidents that day which is normal cause I was pumping her with water & juice all day to make her pee more. It was really nice to have Lucas here on day 1 bec...
