<br />
going back with the boys being older was a lot of fun. neither of my kids have ever cared about character meet & greets when we've gone to disneyland & the last time we went to aulani cedar couldn't have cared less about them, but this trip was an entirely different experience. they were both so excited about the characters & it was soooo cute. i seriously loved seeing how excited they both were about the characters, especially milo. he literally hugged minnie mouse for a solid 3 minutes at the character breakfast without letting go. she kept opening her arms for him to let go & he just wouldn't, haha.<br />

<br />
<br />
on! we even saw spinner dolphins swimming in the water which was really exciting. the older kids & adults all went snorkeling & saw all kinds of fish & turtles while my sister-in-law kristen & i stayed behind with our kids who weren't into the idea of snorkeling. after the boat ride we drove over to the north shore & did a little eating tour. we went to the <br />

<br />
a couple days ago my friend said "a vacation with kids isn't a vacation, it's a trip" & i couldn't agree more. haha. totally true. there are few moments you have to relax while on a trip with your kids, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth it or that it isn't fun, it's just different. but, hawaii was a dream trip. the trip started off in maui where we stayed at the fairmont kea lani. while we were in maui we played hard at the pool & the beach, the kids went wild giving temporary tattoos to everyone, playing games with each other & swimming to the point of exhaustion (many meltdowns occurred). this trip was like a whole new experience. the kids are all at a point where they just run around & play with each other & besides the two little ones that were there, the parents were sort of left a lone. it was pretty nice. my sisters kids are 13, 11 & 9 so they totally entertained the 4, 5 & 2 year olds.<br />
<br />
we took a day to drive part of the road to hana & hike in to a few waterfalls for swimming. the drive was gorgeous & gave me small anxiety. a lot of it are really tight switchbacks on one way bridges, which are not overly fun when driving a big car that you're not used to. but overall, it was fun & definitely worth it. the side of the island with the road to hana is like a rainforest & is so lush & green. we saw <a href="http://mauiguidebook.com/adventures/twin-falls-tips/">twin falls</a> & then pulled over at some random falls later in our drive & went swimming in their pools.<br />
<br />
a lot of times when we have gone to hawaii, we have just lounged & relaxed at the resort rarely leaving. but as i've gotten older i have loved taking time in a new place to just go & explore, it is so much fun & gives you a totally different view of the island.<br />
<br />
most nights we would be too tired to venture out with all the kids for dinner, but for the nights that we did make it out of the hotel, here is where we ate!<br />

<br />
austin & i drove down at the end of may & kicked off the trip with a james taylor concert with my family. it was honestly one of the best concerts. i love james taylor, he reminds me so much off my childhood & seeing him live was seriously amazing & i maaaay have cried just a tiny bit. while we were there we celebrated our 6 year anniversary on june first by spending a day at the beach, just the two of us, went to a movie & got dessert. it was mellow & just what i was hoping for after feeling so busy for the weeks leading up to it.<br />
<br />
the next day i went on a bachelorette weekend to the <a href="https://www.madonnainn.com/">Madonna Inn</a> that was so much fun! if you haven't been, the madonna inn is definitely worth a visit. the hotel is in san luis obispo & is so unique. each room is decorated differently with different themes & the details are unreal. we stayed in the pink rose room & it was adorable, everything was perfect from the rose chandeliers to the pink couches & carpet, it was amazing. we stayed for one night & spent the day lounging by the pool before going out to dinner. it was the perfect girls weekend.<br />
<br />
i got home from the bachelorette weekend the night before cedar's 5th birthday <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(still in denial that i have a 5 year old)</span>. we woke up on his birthday & made his favorite breakfast, opened presents & then austin & I took him for a special day allllllllll about him to disneyland while my mom kindly watched milo. it was really cute & fun doing a day with just him, the last time we did that was my due date with milo! we let him literally pick everything we did. our first stop once inside the park was for a bag of jelly beans & from there we zig zagged our way around the park while he picked what rides we went on, where we ate lunch & dinner, snacks & everything else. we even got him to agree on going on guardians of the galaxy for the first time with slight bribery of a toy at the end of the ride. gotta do what ya gotta do. the next day we had a little party with a couple of his friends in california. the kids played in the backyard, had a dinosaur scavenger hunt & did a little dinosaur painting craft <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(all cedar's idea)</span>.<br />
<br />
after the first week back <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(we did so much in that week!)</span> austin had to head home while the littles & i stayed behind. we filled our days with friends, swimming, & a lot of the beach. it was so much fun. i think we all missed the beach & milo definitely missed the sand. the first few of our beach days he would just sit & play with the sand right in front of me without moving, it was the funniest thing! i started to think about it & realized that none of the parks we play at in utah have sand so he literally hasn't played in sand since moving away from california, how weird is that!?<br />
<br />
austin came back for the last leg of the trip so he could be at my friends wedding with me. the wedding went beautifully to every last detail & it was so nice to have austin there with me after so long of being apart! we also celebrated my sisters 40th birthday with a surprise party at a bowling alley. her husband managed to convince her that they were taking the kids to see the new incredibles movie which led to her wanting to embarrass her kids by wearing a mrs. incredible costume <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(which she had on hand, btw)</span>, so she showed up to her party dressed as mrs. incredible which was pretty funny.<br />
<br />
such a fun & busy trip, the time went by so fast even though we had so much of it. watch the video below for condensed look at the trip :).<br />

<br />
last weekend we took the kids on a much over-due camping trip. cedar has talked about camping for as long as i can remember & honestly, he & milo had become way too obsessed with tv <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(my fault cause i let them keep watching it)</span> & i decided they needed a technology break asap. so with that, we loaded up the truck & headed out to torrey, utah & it was just what our family needed.<br />
<br />
i had been to torrey once before but just stopped through, so camping there was pretty fun. i love the tiny town charm it has. we got there in the afternoon, set up camp & went out exploring what the tiny town had to offer us. we had promised cedar to make hot dogs & s'mores, but i was really feeling pizza so we stopped at a local pizza spot & ate dinner there while the kids played outside & then went back for our s'mores & cedars hotdog he wanted so badly <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(even though he already ate pizza)</span>.<br />
<br />
we stayed up late making s'mores, telling camping stories & then wrestling the kids to sleep. when cedar was a baby we took him camping all the time & he was really great at it, still is! milo on the other hand is a whole different story. that kid is wild in all elements of his life. we tried him out first just in a sleeping bag & that wasn't working, so then we set up the mini crib we used to use for cedar when we camped & that definitely didn't work. we put him in the crib & cedar in his sleeping bag & left the tent to get them to go to sleep & milo just cried & cried while cedar sweetly tried singing him songs to make him happy. i think my heart would have literally melted if i wasn't so flustered with all of milos crying. after about 10 minutes of that nonsense austin & i threw the towel in & got in the tent with them & i held milo while he slooooooooowly fell asleep on my belly & cedars head somehow ended up on my legs. once milo was a sleep i was able to slide him into his crib & get a couple semi-decent hours of sleep in before he woke up crying because he was cold. the kid will not sleep with a blanket on him, so he kept waking up cold & i'd put the blanket on him & he'd be happy then all of a sudden it would be off. the boy is wild. eventually i just pulled him back with us where cedar had squeezed his way between austin & i on the air mattress that completely deflated during the night. sleep was not out strong point on this trip, that is for sure.<br />
<br />
but the awake parts were worth it.<br />
<br />
the next day we woke up, made pancakes, packed up camp & took a little drive around the area while we waited for winds to die down & temperatures to rise. once it was a little warmer we went into <a href="https://www.nps.gov/care/index.htm">capitol reef national park</a>. we stopped by the visitors center & decided to hike to the natural bridge. i was really proud of all the boys on the hike, aus carried milo in the pack which is no easy feat since he is the heaviest 2 year old, milo was happy as a clam the entire way & cedar walked the entire 2.6 miles. it was really impressive! i learned that as long as i kept asking him dinosaur questions he wouldn't think about how far we had gone or how tired he was, that & singing queen songs with him kept him going.<br />
<br />
after the hike we had a picnic lunch & the kids ran around collecting more dirt. we also went to the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/care/learn/historyculture/giffordhomestead.htm">gifford homestead</a> for homemade pie & to hang with the horses. it was really so fun, the boys loved the whole experience.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255696278171460820.post-50484101294489156562018-03-21T10:53:00.000-06:002018-03-27T12:57:25.766-06:00WARBY PARKER QUINTESSENTIALS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

i have been a long time fan of <a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/">warby parker</a>. i love that you can order & try on glasses at home *for free* before committing. how awesome is that? i've done their at-home try on before for their glasses but never for their sunglasses until now. they recently launched their <a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/quintessentials-sun">quintessential sunglass</a> line which is so rad. the frames are total classics, there were so many that i wanted to try that it was hard to narrow it down just to 5.<br />
<br />
i had such a fun time trying out all of the different glasses that i ordered. i tried to order different glasses than what i normally would go for cause with 5 options, why not? it's fun to try them out & actually wear them to see what i did or didn't like. i love how light weight their glasses were, they are so easy to wear & are totally effortless.<br />
<br />
if you're looking for new sunglasses for the spring/ summer you need to check out <a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/sunglasses/women">warby parker's sunglass line</a>. i promise, there is something for everybody on there. you won't regret it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255696278171460820.post-72405853661207532742018-03-09T14:17:00.000-07:002018-03-09T14:25:37.087-07:00ADIOS, CALIFORNIA<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

a few weeks ago some friends & i went to santa barbara & took these pictures with the kids & i'm so glad that we did. i love having these pictures of our time in california with the boys.<br />
we did it. we have officially moved. we've known since last summer that we would be moving to utah & it always felt like we had so much time left in california, that it really snuck up on us. i had gone to florida the weekend before our move & while i was there austin ended up packing a lot of our things which was so nice & helpful because the week before our move was craaaaazy. both the kids got crazy sick, cedar has never missed school for being sick & couldn't go which was so sad since it was his last week, but luckily he was good enough to go on his last day. & on top of that trying to pack what was left, getting all of our good-bye's in, & milos second birthday! it was so busy. but we managed & we even threw milo a little party the day before we left which was a perfect send off. it's been emotional but i think the change will be good, at least that's what i keep reminding myself. it will all be good.<br />

last weekend i got the chance to have a kid free weekend. my sister had to go to florida for work & had to leaved before her kids were able to go, so she asked if i'd be willing. obviously, i said yes. a break sounded pretty good to me & it was. i flew out thursday night & friday morning my sister & i went to tampa where she was working & i crashed at the hotel for a few hours before going out to explore.<br />
<br />
after waking up i headed to st. petersburg, where i went to the salvador dali museum, wandered around the city, walked along the water & grabbed some food. afterwards i went & met up with my sister & we got dinner at datz which was so good & cute. the menus looked like newspapers & the menu was super unique, it was really good!<br />
<br />
on saturday i was a total bum. i had plans to wake up & go to the beach but then i ended up sleeping in, watching tv & by the time i left the hotel it was 12:30, so i ended up just going to get some food & explore tampa while i waited for my sister to finish work. i looked up where to eat & found a place called oxford exchange. it was such a cool place, there's a book shop, homewares store, warby parker section, restaurant, cafe & so much more all in one place, it was crazy. it was really awesome looking too. i showed up thinking i could just walk in, since there was only one of me, buuuut when i got there at 1:15 they said the next reservation wasn't until 2:45, so i was wrong, haha. i ended up eating at the cafe which suited me just fine, i sat at the bar & read while i had a solo brunch.<br />
<br />
afterwards i walked around tampa university which was seriously so pretty. the buildings were really cool looking, pretty unique. i was surprised at how much tampa did have to offer... i mean, florida has never really been on my radar but it definitely has some charm to it & interesting places to see. i'm regretting that i never made it to the beach, but there's always next time.<br />
<br />
it was actually weird having so much alone time. there are days where the kids are driving me wild & i want a break sooooo bad, but to actually have all of that alone time was weird! it was hard for me to get used to it at first, but after a while it was sort of nice. i actually was able to slow down & not worry about being somewhere all the time. i'm pretty sure i spent a lot of my time missing my kids though.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255696278171460820.post-62355203879563780812018-02-19T00:31:00.004-07:002018-02-19T22:46:10.926-07:00BLIGHTED OVUM<div>

the last five weeks have been crazy emotional on all levels.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
austin & i had been talking about when to have another baby for a couple of months & 5 weeks, january 14, ago we found out i was pregnant. i was shocked & excited, like really shocked. i didn't think that it would happen as quickly as it did, it almost made it hard for me to believe it was real, but it was! </div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
before finding out i was pregnant i had planned to take the kids to disneyland & since all the rides i can take both the kids on are pregnant-friendly, we still went. while we were there i noticed that i was having some bleeding. it wasn't heavy, i thought it was probably from implantation but i decided to go home a little earlier than planned so that i could take the rest of the day easy. the next day, tuesday, the bleeding hadn't let up & i decided to go to urgent care to get things checked out & from there i started a 5 week emotional rollercoaster.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
**side note: with the way that our insurance works, i had to meet with a separate person before being able to meet with my obgyn for my first initial pregnancy appointment. i called them first before going to urgent care & she said she couldn't get me in for another week. in the meantime i went to urgent care.**</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
at the urgent care they told me that they thought i was having a miscarriage but that they were going to draw my blood to see if my levels were going up at all. two days later, thursday, i went back in & was told that they still believed it was a miscarriage but that my levels did go up, so they were going to draw blood again. they did this two more times before making an ultrasound appointment for me on monday. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i was really excited to go to the ultrasound because i thought that i would get a definite answer, but when i was there the technician told me that they weren't allowed to discuss what they can see on the machine. so i left with no answers. luckily, i was going to meet the woman to make my appointment with my actual obgyn which was set for two weeks away when i would be 8 weeks along. between then i kept going to the urgent care to get my blood drawn but i felt like they weren't doing a lot besides taking my blood & saying i was miscarrying. i knew something obviously was not right because i was still bleeding, but i felt like there was more going on than that the urgent care obgyn was telling me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
after a couple more meetings at urgent care i decided to call my doctors office & see if under the circumstances i could come in earlier & thankfully i could. i cannot tell you the amount of comfort it gave me to see my actual obgyn. he is such an amazing doctor & doesn't take anything lightly like i felt the doctor at urgent care did. I was able to get in to seem him the wednesday after my first ultra sound. austin had gone out of town for work so i went by myself which i didn't think would be a big deal, but after i wished so badly that he could have been there with me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
my doctor gave me another ultra sound & asked me multiple times if i was having pain on the left side, i told him no & he said hmm, he seemed interested in the fact that i wasn't in tremendous pain, or any pain really & after a couple minutes of checking everything out told me to meet him in his office. immediately my brain went to the worst & i started thinking he was going to tell me i had cancer or something. why else would i be in pain or he think i should be in a pain? it was the only logical answer to me. i went in to his office & he showed me the ultra sound & told me he believed i was having an ectopic pregnancy. & that is where i tuned out. he asked me again if i was in pain & i said no & he kind of seemed like he was in disbelief. he told me that normally ectopic pregnancies are really painful & that he did think it was interesting that my hcg levels were going up so much. he scheduled me for another appointment to see if my numbers were going up & see if he could see more in another ultrasound. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
after the appointment i called austin crying on the phone, telling him that they think it is an ectopic pregnancy. it was really hard to tell him & luckily he was able to come home early so that he could make it to my next appointment on friday. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i went home & googled ectopic pregnancies & read up on everything about it, at least enough that my brain could handle at my emotional state. i learned that ectopic & tubal are often thought of as the same but you can have an ectopic pregnancy without it being tubal. you can have a pregnancy that isn't in the uterus which is incredibly dangerous for the mother & because it isn't in the uterus, it is ectopic. tubal pregnancy are in the fallopian tube & are very dangerous cause it can cause your tube to burst & destroy your tube which makes it difficult in the future to get pregnant. since a tubal pregnancy isn't in your uterus it is also an ectopic pregnancy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
after reading all about it, i honestly did not feel better about the situation but i tried to remain as calm as i could until i heard what the doctor said at my next appointment. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
when austin & i got to the next appointment the doctor talked to us before doing another ultrasound. he told us that after looking more at the ultrasound & my hcg numbers going up so much that he believed it was actually a tubal pregnancy. as soon as he said that my eyes flooded with tears. i couldn't help it. especially after all that i had read about tubal pregnancies. he told us that we are young & will be able to have more children in our future one way or another, whether it would be natural or through ivf. he also said that if we wanted he could administer a shot that would force my body to end the pregnancy instead of surgery which is how many tubal pregnancies are taken care of. he said that there was a viable baby from what he could see, but that it was hard to tell because of how early i was.<br />
<br />
all of it was so intense, my emotions were at an all time high & i was so happy to have austin there. my doctor was being really kind too, he was trying to be so reassuring & comforting since i was clearly distraught, but it wasn't really working. after meeting with him we went in for another ultra sound & there he told me: "your pregnancy might be ok. what we thought was a tube actually may have been a vein." you cannot imagine how it made me feel. i broke down. i had just been told that i might lose my tube, that i might need to go through ivf & now my baby may be ok. i was all over the emotional map at this point. he told me that since i was in so early that it can change a lot in a couple of days, so i needed to schedule to come back & we would see where the baby was at then. take in mind, i am still bleeding at this time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
austin & i went home so confused, lost & slightly hopeful. i tried really hard not to get my hopes up, i didn't want to start believing that i was going to have a healthy baby just to be told again that i wasn't. i don't think i did a good job at that though. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
next monday when we went in for the ultrasound is when we learned that what i was actually experiencing was a blighted ovum. he showed us on the ultrasound how the sac was growing how it was supposed to be, but the baby was not. he said that he wanted to give my body a week to see if i would naturally reject the pregnancy & if not we would schedule for a d&c. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i was really hopeful that my body would miscarry on its own, but here i am, one week post d & c. i went in to the doctor last monday & had another ultra sound showing us that the sac has grown but the embryo has not. it's the same size as it was the last week we measured it. we made an appointment to have a d&c for tuesday afternoon. honestly, after everything that has happened & not having answers for so long, it was a relief to be given a solid answer & know that i would need a d&c. on top of having an answer, it was a huge relief to know that i was not having an ectopic or tubal pregnancy. knowing that gave me reassurance that i will be able to get pregnant in the future, that i didn't have to worry about my tube bursting & that for the most part, i wasn't at risk.<br />
<br />
this pregnancy is nothing we could have planned for. having already had a miscarriage <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(you can read about my last miscarriage <a href="http://www.kerryjune.com/2017/10/miscarriage.html">here</a>)</span> couldn't have prepared me because this entire trial was so different on so many levels. trying to get pregnant & then getting pregnant is such a vulnerable thing. it can be so scary, even in the healthiest of pregnancies it can be scary because your body is going through such a change, you don't ever really know what is going on. after going through this for what felt like, forever, definitely makes me nervous for the future & trying to get pregnant again. after going through two miscarriages i have a fear that a third baby won't happen, but i know that i do need to remain positive. the hardest part often times is getting pregnant & i already have two healthy little boys, so i know that my body is able & i am so thankful that i know that. </div>

the last few months i have been OBSESSED with my skincare. really, austin is so sick of me talking about facewashes & serums & what not. i have spent a long time deciding what products are just right for my skin, what works for me, what i should & shouldn't use & all the ins & outs of my skincare routine. i've been researching & talking to literally everyone & feel like i finally have figured it out. now, i'm no skin expert, this is just what works for me but these are truly all products that i love.<br />
<br />
i categorize my skin type as sensitive/dry to normal/dry. my skin is really, very dry. i can go to the most humid climate & still have dry skin, so i have to seriously moisturize if i want my face to last through the day. i have times where it can be really sensitive, but for the most part its pretty much normal/dry. i'm not acne prone, however when i do get acne its on the cystic side of things which really sucks. especially because i was a born picker & picking at cystic acne is the absolute worst thing to do. i try my best not to do it, but i'm human.<br />
<br />
my cousins & i were all talking about skincare, cause like me they are obsessed, & i learned about <a href="https://www.carolinehirons.com/">caroline hirons</a>. i had never heard of her before but she knows her stuff. for real. i love reading her posts & watching her videos, she is such a well of knowledge when it comes to skin, so if you haven't read or hear of her, you totally sure.<br />
<br />
it was from her that i developed my skincare routine. i learned the importance of washing my face morning & night & adopted a dual-wash system.<br />

every morning i go through this routine. i've been using the YTTP wash for three months & it has completely transformed my skin, afterwards i use my toner & then spray my face with herbivore rose water which i forgot to show! followed up with my YTTP age prevention serum, which i totally love. when i'm able i am planning to switch it out with a retinol, but for right now this one is more in my price range! i then use the eye boosting oil & after i drop the fresh oil across my forehead & cheeks, then i rub it in & follow with the dr. jart+ hydro gel, which i also totally love. </div>

i think the biggest change in my skin has come from the dual-cleanse i've started doing. i always felt like my makeup didn't get all taken off from my face wash, but the dual system makes my skin squeaky clean. i started using this system with the philosophy purity wash because my cousin gave me a travel size one & i have really liked it, it is so soft on my skin. i then follow up with the YTTP wash, i use a witch hazel toner because i don't think my skin needs something that will dry it with an acid. then i apply the YTTP age serum, my eye boosting oil followed with glossier's super pure which i swear by. that stuff seriously works against acne, it is amazing. everyone needs it. <span style="text-align: center;">& after i drop the fresh oil across my forehead & cheeks, then i rub it in & follow with the dr. jart+ hydro gel, just like i do in the morning.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">twice a week i skin the philosophy wash & start with my YTTP & follow through with the cure scrub which is amazing. you apply a decent amount to your face & let it sit a minute & then lightly rub your face & it peels off so many dead skin cells. it is seriously so gratifying to see all the skin come up. i'm weird like that. but i love this product, you need to use it. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255696278171460820.post-14862747498581542132018-02-15T16:45:00.000-07:002018-02-15T16:46:33.235-07:00VALENTINE PIZZAS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="text-align: start;">this year for valentines day we decided to keep things mellow & stay at home with the boys & make an evening of it. i think it is so fun celebrating the little holidays with kids, they get so excited! cedar was so excited for his valentine party at school, especially because he got to have two of them so he got double the valentines! every kids dream. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the night before valentines day we set up a couple little goodies we got the boys & decoratod the table to make it look valentine-y. in the morning they were so excited to see what they got & were so happy when we made them waffles (we don't make waffles that much because i'm impatient & think they take too long!). after i got cedar from school we made valentine cookies while milo napped. it was a perfect, mellow valentines day. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
for dinner we decided it would be fun to make mini heart shaped pizzas & got some martinelli's to fancy it up, the boys loved it. we used a big cookie cutter to make the dough into a heart & then had mini pepperonis & made some cheesy bread. it was all really good & easy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
we got pre-made dough from trader joes, one dough made about 4 mini pizzas, so we got two doughs so we had extra for the cheesy bread. we then topped it with tomato sauce or pesto, mozzarella cheese & the mini pepperonis & baked them for about 10 minutes at 375. so easy & it was a big hit. i think we have found our new valentine tradition. </div>

every time austin & i drive to or from utah we talk about driving through valley of fire but never do, for one reason or not. last time we were driving home se decided to go for it. it's right outside of vegas & added a couple extra hours to our drive but it was totally worth it. the kids definitely needed a break from the car & we were feeling one too. we hiked around a bit & let the kids run around in all the red sand & look for petroglyphs. they loved it. </div>

the drive was really pretty too. the red rock totally pops out against the blue sky & it's so random! there are no other mountains near it or any other red rock except this random little patch that makes all these red towers. i would totally go back & am planning to. </div>

if you ever have a chance to go, it's worth it!</div>

<br />
we're moving to utah! it feels surreal to think that we are actually moving. two years ago we moved to california & in with my mom with the plan to move out within 6 months tops...two years later, we're still here! with austin's job there was always the possibility of moving away & it seemed that just about every time we were going to move out of my moms & into our own space, we would *almost move. i can't tell you how many times we actually started looking for housing in other states that fell through, it was pretty high & low on the emotions scale. eventually we decided it was better for us to stay with my mom because we were always on the cusp of moving & we didn't want to get stuck in a contract.<br />
<br />
fast forward 2 years & austin has quit his old job, started a company & we are officially relocating to utah. a place i literally never thought i would move back to. i am pretty excited though! i do love utah, it's just pretty bittersweet to leave california. it's my home & where my family & friends are, we've made a pretty good little life here & i love it. weirdly enough, my moms house is the place we have continuously lived the longest in our entire married life. when we lived in provo we were there for almost two years but, moved twice. then we moved to salt lake for 11 months, spain for 14 & my moms house for 2 years. kind of funny.<br />
<br />
while we wait for our move date i am anxiously trying to find a decent house for us to rent & get my hopes up with almost every one, haha. i can't help it, i love imagining our life in the houses & our things (which i haven't seen in almost 4 years i might add, so weird) living in them. it will be pretty fun to decorate a home again.<br />
<br />
we are excited for all the new possibilities that come with moving again. i like the spontaneity of it & the adventure i know it will bring. plus, california isn't that far away, we will definitely be back.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255696278171460820.post-48755458008822476162018-01-22T21:20:00.000-07:002018-01-22T21:20:44.318-07:00AUDIO BOOKS WITH KIDS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
a couple months back I started listening to audiobooks with the boys when we are driving somewhere that is sort of far away. if I'm being honest, I did it for a completely selfish reason. cedar is a complete chatter box & talks my ear off the entire time we are in the car & sometimes I truly can't handle it. he's really into definite answers, so I can never give him a "maybe" or "I don't know" or even a "I'm not sure", it's all gotta be yes or no & you'd think I'd learn not to even try anything else, but I'm a slow learner. sometimes the conversations lead to him being frustrated with me because I'm not giving him a definite answer & a lot of times it leaves me feeling totally exhausted. & that is when I landed on the audiobook idea.<br />
<br />
I wasn't sure at first if he would like it & if he would actually listen but, as soon as I started the first book, he was hooked. he listened silently for almost the entire hour something drive & would sometimes ask questions about the book. afterwards I asked him some questions about the book to see if he was actually paying attention & he really was! it was so cute hearing him talk about the book & sometimes I hear him repeating little parts of it when he's playing or something. ever since that first book he has been hooked to books in the car & just about always requests that we listen to one.<br />
<br />
I was totally new to the audiobook game, so I wasn't sure what apps to use but I started using the audible app & iBooks audio. for me iBook has been a billion times easier to work with because you can download straight from your phone from the app which is awesome if we finish a book or i forget to do it when we are home, BUT the books are pricey, so that is a major downfall.<br />
<br />
audible has been a bit of a trick for me. it's awesome because you can get a lot of children books for a better price than iBooks & sometimes for free, but the number one downfall is that you have get the books through amazon so it's more of a hassle. when i remember to do it though, it's awesome.<br />
<br />
the books that cedar has loved the most are:<br />
1. Henry Huggins: anything from this series. we've listened to 3 different Henry Huggins now & it was the first audio book we ever listened to that grabbed his interest.<br />
2. The Wizard of Oz: cedar loved this book! Anne hathaway reads it & she does such an amazing job with the voices. i really liked listening to it & so did Cedar. after we finished the book we watched the movie & it was so funny because he kept commenting on how the book was different from the movie. i love knowing that he is paying attention to the books.<br />
3. Charlotte's Web: cedar didn't love this one as much, but i got the version that the author reads which could have been a problem, so don't get that version!<br />
4. The House at Pooh Corner: cute & fun stories of winnie the pooh. cedar has never been a huge fan of the show, but he has really liked listening to the stories.<br />
5. My Father's Dragon: cedar loved listening to all of these books. if you haven't read them as a kid, definitely listen to them. they're light hearted, easy & a fun story.<br />

a couple of days after christmas we flew up to utah to attend my uncles funeral. my mom, siblings & i had gone up a week before christmas to see him & say goodbye, but it was very surreal when we heard that he has finally passed. he had battled with melanoma for the last year & a half which struck especially close to home because that is what my dad died from almost 19 years ago. it was a very bittersweet experience attending the funeral, it brought up a lot of emotions but, it was also comforting being surrounded by our family. all of my 28 cousins were able to make it to utah for the funeral, some of which i haven't seen since i was a kid, so it brought some happiness to the occasion. plus, my entire family was also together which is always fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
most of my family went home before new years, but we stayed behind to make more of a trip out of it since cedar has the week off from school. we've been having a good time with the boys & have been making daily trips up the canyon to play in the snow. cedar loves the snow. he has wanted to go play in the snow as soon as he learned that it was winter. he was completely convinced that it was going to snow on christmas day, despite the fact that i kept telling him that it doesn't snow where we live in california. a couple hours after he woke up on christmas day he came up to me & said "mom, i think you're right. it doesn't snow in newbury park, but i think it might next year." he has all the faith in the world that it will snow one day, haha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he has totally loved tromping about in the snow & making snow angels. it's so cute when he does it. he jumps straight in to knee deep snow & goes wild with his arms & legs, it's so funny. milo on the other hand isn't so sure, but he totally loved sledding & cedar loved pushing milo on the sled.</div>

2017 was a good year to us. there were the highs, the lows, the high highs & the low lows, just like any other year but, it was still a good one. we spent a lot of our time at the beach, which you can't really beat. austin decided to start his own business. milo turned 1 & started to walk & talk. cedar turned 4 & has continued learning & growing, there is no stopping that boy. we stuck closer to home this past year, we weren't as on-the-go as we normally are but i sort of liked it. it was a calm year. we did manage to make a few trips up to utah, we sent to semis & san francisco & went to iceland & france with my family so, it wasn't totally mellow.<br />
<br />
i'm so excited to see what 2018 has in store for us. i think it will be a good year & full of a lot of new adventures.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255696278171460820.post-3160685678681884532018-01-01T23:36:00.000-07:002018-01-02T08:34:58.756-07:002018<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

guys, i can't believe that it's 2018. christmas went by in a FLASH! i swear i just blinked & it was over. i'm pretty positive that as i get older years get shorter, anyone else feel that way? no? just me? ohwell.<br />
<br />
so, i totally think the actual holiday of new years is overrated. it always gets so hyped up! & then nothing exciting really happens.. but i do love the feeling & idea of a fresh start, so i'm all about setting up new goals.<br />
<br />
<br />
FAMILY GOALS<br />
be present // a lot of the time i'm taking pictures or videos of whatever we are doing because i don't want to forget anything, which is awesome because i have so much documented. but sometimes that makes it so i'm not paying attention to everything that is going on around me. we can all benefit from being more present when we are with each other.<br />
<br />
simplicity // simplicity in all forms. it's easy to get caught up in the hustle & bustle & i'm wanting to get out of it before i'm stuck!<br />
<br />
HEALTH GOALS<br />
body acceptance // i consider myself to be pretty active, i try to get out & be active a few times a week, along with actually going to a gym or fitness class. i'm just not very good at sitting still & i do not like the way i physically feel when i don't push my limits. even though i do try to be active, i can be pretty hard on myself when i shouldn't be! i have a really healthy, fairly strong body who has had 2 babies. i should be proud of the body i have & all that it can do & i want to focus on that.<br />
<br />
PERSONAL GOALS<br />
be more organized // i am the worst at organization, just ask my husband. i am unorganized in just about all aspects of my life but i want to work on it! i'm going to focus on three aspects to be more organized to make it a bit more attainable.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>clothes/ closet: i'm the queen of stuffing my drawers & leaving things on the floor & i hate it! </li>
<li>blog: i have a million ideas for my blog & always wait till the last minute & never get the posts done that i want to, so i'm going to try scheduling days to write/prep & post. </li>
<li>time: ultimate procrastinator over here. i'm also always down to ditch boring chores for something fun but, that leads to not having enough time for everything, so i really need to work on that one!</li>
</ul>
<div>
no comparisons // it's so easy to compare lives with those around, especially with instagram. i really want to focus on not comparing my life to others & to be happy with where i am & where my family is in our life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
my list is short & sweet for my goals, but i like to keep it mellow so i don't totally let myself down if i fail at them!! it's worked for my in the past. plus, this way i can really focus on my goals. i also plan on revisiting & assessing my goals every three months to check up on how i feel like i am doing with them & see if i want to add any others to my list.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
how do you like to set up your goals? i love hearing what people want to work on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
happy new year!</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">a couple of days after christmas we flew up to utah to attend my uncles funeral. my mom, siblings & i had gone up a week before christmas to see him & say goodbye, but it was very surreal when we heard that he has finally passed. he had battled with melanoma for the last year & a half which struck especially close to home because that is what my dad died from almost 19 years ago. it was a very bittersweet experience attending the funeral, it brought up a lot of emotions but, it was also comforting being surrounded by our family. all of my 28 cousins were able to make it to utah for the funeral, some of which i haven't seen since i was a kid, so it brought some happiness to the occasion. plus, my entire family was also together which is always fun.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255696278171460820.post-66837318654711979672017-11-30T16:16:00.002-07:002017-11-30T16:19:57.043-07:00CHRISTMAS BOOK COUNTDOWN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

the last couple of years i have done a christmas book countdown & it is one of my favorite parts of christmas. definitely one of my favorite traditions we have started with our little family. it was something austin's family did every year & we have carried it over with our kids.<br />
<br />
before december i wrap 24 different christmas books & keep them in a basket. each night before bed i let the boys pick one book to unwrap & we read it that night. they can pick any book they want, but we always save the poler express for christmas eve. the books are a mixture of new & old, some are books that i grew up reading with my family during christmas, some are books my husband grew up with & some are new, so it's a good mixture. we have been given a lot of books in our lives, so we own all of the books we use, but it's also fun to get different books from the library if you don't have enough or just to switch it up.<br />
<br />
the christmas book countdown is truly one of my favorite parts of christmas. i love seeing how much my boys love the stories & i like hearing cedar talking about the christmas books months later. it builds a lot of anticipation for christmas eve too, to read the last book. definitely one of the best traditions.<br />

i know, i know. thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet & this is my second christmas post. but what can i say? i've just got christmas on my brain guys. i think it's something to do with being a mom. i've totally got to prep in advance otherwise it all of a sudden is christmas & i haven't done half the things i wanted to, or i don't have enough time to buy & wrap gifts because i keep thinking it's far away. but it's not! anyways... i don't know about you but buying gifts for my husband & sisters/brothers/in-laws is always a tricky thing for me. i'm not quite positive what to get them, so when i was shopping i made this gift guide of gifts anyone is sure to looooove. at least, i hope they do. let's do a quick run through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. convenient little folding knife, cause what man doesn't like a good pocket knife?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. yeti tumbler. if you haven't tried one, you need to. they are the best. they keep your drinks cold or hot for hours & they don't sweat, which is the worst part of water bottles in my opinon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. handsome & cozy, what else does a guy need?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. these vans are the best. they're all terrain & made specifically for cold, wet climates but still have the same great look of the beloved hightop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. the cutest little matchstick holder. or anything small holder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. crudes wash is by far the best bodywash. both my husband & i swear by it. it smells amazing, doesn't strip or dry out your skin & can double as a moisturizer. it is the best.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. cable knit sweaters are a must for winter no matter where you live.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. the wanderlust book has so many dreamy photos. it definitely makes you want to get out & see the world. perfect coffee table book. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. star sign cuff, need i say more? anyone who resonates with their sign will love this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10. barr-co moisturizer is so rich & creamy, it feels like a dream when you lather it on. plus the smell is heavenly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
11. cozy, wool throw, it's exactly what everyone needs in their homes this time of year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
12. lined chelsea rain boot. i love chelsea rainboots, they are so easy to wear & not nearly as bulky as your regular rainboot. adding a lining to them make them perfect.</div>

are you the kind of person that starts gearing up for christmas before thanksgiving? or do you wait it out? i am a total before-thanksgiving kinda person. i can't help myself. all the christmas-y treats & decorations in the stores, the music, the movies.. everything just gets me so excited! i swear every year i start celebrating christmas earlier & earlier & this year was no different. i couldn't wait to use our holiday cookie cutters from <a href="https://sugarycharm.com/">sugary charm </a>when they came in the mail this week & cedar couldn't wait either.<br />
<br />
one day during milos nap cedar & i spent some time, just the two of us, making sugarcookies & he was totally loving it. in our <a href="https://sugarycharm.com/">sugary charm</a> package came a delicious sugar cookie recipe that was so easy to make & for cedar to help me with. he loved rolling it out & smashing the cookie cutter into the dough was is favorite part. every week while milo is in his swimming lesson & cedar waits for his turn, he gets books from the waiting area to me to read to him & he always brings me the gingerbread man. he loves the story of the gingerbread man so he was especially excited when he saw we got a gingerbread man cookie cutter.<br />
<br />
i've never made cookies using a cookie cutter. i know, super weird of me. but i really loved doing it with cedar & love that we are starting these traditions & experiencing everything through their eyes. it is so much fun. if you don't have your own cookie cutters, check out <a href="https://sugarycharm.com/">sugary charm</a>. they are so easy to use & they have so many different options, it was hard for me to pick just four!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255696278171460820.post-4421286697309404942017-11-06T21:25:00.002-07:002017-11-06T21:26:07.326-07:00HALLOWEEN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

i love halloween every year & this one was so good. we kicked it off by going to a trunk or treat for our church where they had games, costume contests & a spook alley. cedar requested to be a skeleton for the trunk or treat, which i was thrilled about, so we went as a family of skeletons. it's crazy how much can change in just one year, i remember last year when cedar was so scared of going in the spook alley, i had to bribe him with candy! but this year, he was sooo excited to go. it was so cute to see how brave he was!<br />
<br />
on actual halloween he got to wear his costume to school & they did a costume parade for all the parents & kids to see everyones costumes which was so fun. he was so excited to show everyone his pancake costume. yep, he was a pancake.back in september i asked cedar what he would want to be for halloween & the conversation went a little like this:<br />
<br />
"cedar, what would you like to be for halloween this year?"<br />
"a superhero!"<br />
"a super hero? but you don't really play superheroes..."<br />
"oh, yeah, you're right. mmmm a pancake!"<br />
"a pancake? are you sure? why a pancake?"<br />
"yep. i'm sure. a pancake. they are my most favorite food."<br />
<br />
& that was that. i asked him multiple times afterward & each time he said he wanted to be a pancake, haha. the kid loves his breakfast food. i really wanted to double check because i truly thought he would change his mind to a dinosaur, but he stuck to his guns & we got him a pancake costume & milo a egg & bacon costume. since i knew a month in advance what the boys we're going to be i had these big plans to make austin & i really great costumes to go along. austin was going to be a mug that said something cheesy like "number 1 dad" & i was going to syrup! buuuut time got the best of me, like always, & the night before i found myself making us a fork & knife costume instead & it turned out pretty good! cedar especially loved that we were a fork & a knife.<br />
<br />
we went over to my brother & sister-in-laws for halloween night where we had pizza before going trick-or-treating with a group of family friends & then went back for the kids to play & have ice cream. i loved watching the boys trick-or-treating. cedar is a total kid these days & he & his little friends we're always running up ahead of us, trying to get to the next house as fast as they could & little milo was taking his sweet time & loving every minute of it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255696278171460820.post-47669367825541411182017-10-31T15:56:00.001-06:002017-10-31T16:32:26.514-06:00MY SISTERS WEDDING<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

in october i was able to do the florals for my sisters wedding & they turned out just as i hoped they would. the wedding was small, intimate & simple with the prettiest touches. it was exactly as my sister wanted & totally had her written all over it. it is so fulfilling when something turns out exactly as you had hoped. it was a total diy wedding. i did the florals, my husband built the centerpiece boxes, my sister & mom scoured craigslist for mix-match china & flatware. it was so whimsical & beautiful.<br />
