^^Lydia's "cheese-er face" // Three of my cousin's kids calling out the fact that Lydia wore the same outfit two days in a row // scrambled eggs in a cup // two shows I watched on Netflix last summer that now have more episodes! (Royal pains and Cedar Cove) // painting my nails ombre (kind of) thanks to emmy's inspiration and Campbell's knowledge of how to do it // the southern gentleman from sodalicious // a family barbecue on monday // slowly learning the geography of the cities north of salt Lake // having two photoshoots and being able to catch up with old friends // my parents coming to town for my dad's 40th high school reunion // finding some cute clothes and a baby carrier for $5 at a garage sale // going to the air show at hill air force base // getting Cafe Rio while waiting for AAA to let us back into our car after I locked the keys in it // Lydia laying on the charm at church // my friend Bonnie watching Lydia while I was at a photoshoot - thanks again Bon, you're THE BEEEST.

I'm going to try to make these a habit again - we'll see how long it lasts!

Lydia entertaining herself for AN HOUR so I could get stuff done around the house #miracle // this article on being a mom of a lot of kids // finding little harper rae on insta and becoming obsessed // Lydia finally fitting into the overalls Mom Olson got her // getting my jotoes camera bag in mail free of charge (thanks to an instagram giveaway I won a few months back!!!) // this blogpost by the daybook (especially the part about post pregnancy bladder control - I actually laughed out loud) // Bon telling me she stalked The Alison Show on instagram after reading my blogpost // Maddie's chocolate applesauce cake // Lydia loving the zucchini soup my aunt made // finding cute $9 shorts at walmart (thanks for the tip, Had!!) // when Lydia's hair parted into a mustache // visiting Stephen at work and putting Lydia on the chair at his desk // celebrating Stephen's first father's day as a dad

Erin (3 years): "When are you going to have a boy baby? Why aren't you pregnant already?"

At the checkout counter at Walmart buying a scrub daddy:
Cashier: "Oh cute!! Is that for father's day?!"
Me: "Uhm..no...it's just a sponge..."

^^I'll give you one hint as to why she was laughing so hard:

(THEY WERE ATTACKING ME.)

This girl is going to change the world! ...as long as she can manage to stay up allllll the way until 10:30 pm every night. hahaha

getting semi-settled in my Aunt&Uncle's house and discovering all my favorite things (i.e. Costco, Cafe Rio, & Target**) are just minutes away!!! // spending memorial day in provo with the Sheffields/Sievers // getting Lydia on a semi-consistant sleeping schedule (until Wednesday...) // interacting with Lydia and finding "games" that she enjoys // FROZEN GRAPES // finally setting up the monitor so I don't have to ask "Did you hear Lydia?!" "Was that Lydia?!" every 5 seconds // going to dinner with some of Stephen's work people and getting to meet them & learn more about the company // the chicken meatballs on sample at costco // the new breakfast I discovered and haven't gotten sick of yet (will do a separate post because you NEED this in your life) // Lydia being so content in the car when I had to drive to Lehi and back on Monday (long story...) <-- Shoutout to Isaac for meeting me in Lehi so I didn't have to drive all the way to provo! // helping Lydia drink out of a REAL cup and seeing how excited she was about it // hanging out with Chels and Jess and trying Blue Lemon for the first time // when Lydia sat still for a whole 10 minutes to watch a netflix show with me (the fact that she sat mostly still for 10 whole minutes is definitely a record - this girl is a squirmer!) // being able to hang out with Stephen a little bit yesterday after not really seeing him for two days!

This happened when we were in Texas visiting my sister, but it was so funny it needs to be documented:

Talking about The Alison Show - Me: "She has over 80 thousand followers on Instagram, but I feel like I know her because we danced together at a party one time."
Reb: "Did you talk to her?? How did you know it was her?!"
Me:"...Because she threw the party and I paid 20 bucks to go!"
Rebekah: "...You seriously paid 20 bucks to go?!?! That is so embarrassing!"
^^What Rebekah doesn't know is that I actually paid $25 (hahaha)

^^Fail for not checking to see that the pictures weren't in focus -_-
