I'm sure you thought we fell off the planet. We sort of did for a while. And since it's been almost exactly a year since I last posted I am not going to do a catch up post. WAY to overwhelming. We'll just start with where we are in life and introduce you (finally!) to Benson David Taylor who was born December 10, 2012. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been writing my sister who is in the MTC (headed soon to the Philippines) and keeping her updated on our life. So this time I am going to post part of my letters to her on here because I have been telling her what the boys have been doing lately. And I will be doing a picture overload as well. These are pics of both boys over the past year. Well Benson's are more like over the past 6 months.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Casen has started saying really funny things. I mean he
always says funny things but lately he’s said a few good ones. A couple weeks
ago he woke up and we had this convo:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">C: my dream made me feel sick<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Me: what kind of sick do you feel?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">C: Um, roast beef<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Me: ?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He got dressed before preschool and I was helping him zip
up his jacket <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">C: I look genus (said like genius but without the yuh
sound)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Me: you look genius? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">C: yeah. I look genus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And this last one is a convo between Aaron and casen one
morning when Aaron was trying to teach Casen something about grammar. See how
that went:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It
was so funny to just sit back and listen to this. I was laughing so hard. He
totally didn’t get it. Anyway,<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Casen is LOVING preschool. And I
am LOVING that he has preschool. It is really one of the greatest things for
both of us right now. He gets to go and learn and do activities and channel his
energy and learn to share and play with other kids in a controlled environment
and I get a three hour break and get to go home and catch up on cleaning my
house, take a nap, get housecleaning done that I never get done or cook meals
to have throughout the week. Or just sit and stare at the wall in silence. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; text-indent: 0.5in;">J</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> It really is SO nice
to have an extra 3 hours a day to use without my kids (Benson usually naps at
this time). It’s also a recharge for me so I can be ready to spend all the time
with Casen that he needs after preschool.</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Here are some random photos of casen over the past...year or so.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Benson had his first haircut a few weeks ago. His hair was
just SO long and would hang down over his ears and look awkward in front so we
gave him a shave! It was nearly as short as Casen’s. I was a little worried at
first, wondering what it would look like but I love it now. He is so cute (of
course) and you can see his face really well now and all of his hair is the
same length and because he’s still got the baby face it doesn’t look so weird
for him to have a buzzed head. It’s only crazy different for us because we know
he had hair before. So that was fun.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">OMGOSH he is SO cute. I
am SO in love with this little guy! He has crawled a few times. Like twice
he has done 2 crawls and then he gets down on his tummy and scoots, well more
like swims around. He LOVES cords and is drawn to them wherever they are. I can
never keep all of them away from him. He’s starting to understand when I tell
him no and <i>sometimes</i> he listens. He also has started this thing where he will
scream, like really loud…very loud, whenever he wants something and he isn’t
getting it right away. This usually happens with food. I’m trying to teach him
to sign “more” but I have a feeling that he will be screaming until he learns
to talk and tell us that he needs more. Ugh.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He also likes to pull himself up on
our coffee table. He’s still not strong enough to do this so he usually pulls
himself up enough that his mouth is even with the edge of the table and then he
loses his balance and smashes his face into the table. This happens daily. A
lot daily. Poor kid. And he’s very offended when this happens and looks at me
like, how could you do that to me? I know it’s super sad but it’s one of my
most favorite things because it’s so hilarious that he even thinks I've done
something and his offended cry is so cute and funny. Let’s be clear: I do not
do anything to him to draw out this offended cry. He does it to himself. I just
let him learn by experiencing it and it’s a little funny for me along the way.
(you know, just in case anyone reads this and thinks I hurt my child for fun.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And he’s so happy in the morning. I love going in to see
him in the morning first thing because he always smiles really big and is super
happy and cuddly. I LOVE It. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

This is not nearly enough pictures to document everything that happened but at least it's a post. Not included here:We hit up the zoo and Lagoon. He loved the zoo, Lagoon not so much. To his credit he was extremely tired when he went on the rides but he screamed on all 2 of them. Even the boat ride where you go -2 miles an hour in a circle. It was pretty much awesome. In September we drove out to California for Aaron's mom's wedding. We stayed in Vegas on the way down, went to the beach and Casen was the ring bearer for the beautiful beach wedding. Sorry, no pics. But enjoy these!<br />

Life has been good to us these last few months! We are looking forward to our new little one joining us in about 7 weeks give or take. <br />
And Casen has grown up so much in the past few months. Here is what he is like now:<br />
-can count to ten (minus the number 5. he forgets that for some reason)<br />
-knows some of his colors<br />
-will repeat the alphabet with me<br />
-likes to sing songs<br />
-loves to dance<br />
-eats just about anything (I'm so grateful he's not picky!)<br />
-likes cars, wrestling, pillow fights, airplanes, hockers (helicopters), and tickling<br />
-likes to do anything and everything by himself<br />
-frequently tells me to "welax mom!" (relax) when he's upset and wants me to back off<br />
-likes to sit on his potty fully clothed<br />
-repeats everything we say (this is scary sometimes)<br />
-loves nursery and singing songs<br />
-can say his own prayers<br />
-bore his testimony in FHE for the first time about a month ago-it was adorable!<br />
-has memorized and can say a kipper (scripture)<br />
-likes to help mom with dishes, vacuuming, laundry, etc<br />
-likes to watch cartoons<br />
-has converted to a toddler bed<br />
-says hilarious things on a daily basis:"hey mom, what's up?", "focus mom!", "mom, I fustated (frustrated)", "I sorry mom. I dint mean to. I love you mom"<br />
<br />
We love him lots and are excited to meet our newest addition soon! Sorry about the massive blank space. Don't know what the deal is but I'm too tired to figure it out.<br />

I had a whole bunch of new pics loaded on the computer and then I deleted them off the card for our camera only to find out that they didn't save on the computer and they are all gone. I hate technology. Please don't try to console me. I'm just annoyed.<br /><div><div><div>Anyway the first pic is of us at Arches. Aaron and I were able to hike Delicate Arch together and that was cool. A little harder than I thought it would be but great exercise and a beautiful view at the top! </div><div>The next pic is Casen in his (at the time) new Christmas outfit with sweet hair and everything. </div><div>The last one is Casen playing in what little snow we got this year. He loved getting all dressed up in his snow clothes and playing outside in the "noni" (know knee) which is what he calls snow.<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731330095615762322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipLU9IkOtYZKyfavxOXlIUeKtK12jXSF0kGRI4ANWyAqktktlf4P2Nkqhack0wnBinSPcqj5Pc122aJdBWk1Z9FBCNi2RLvKfEIh2JaweWCr7-wpu1OEHKTPYYqWTwHyLIJwTF1quVThU/s320/P4050326.JPG" /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731330083809371010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaXBhnA_kinKItNJ1bWz3H7NMiXbzXHfOks95jt4eabOOgx3NYFv3mFAqj4yf2sGyc8fuvw4Ci-owWEjjyJs6TMZMrjRgkPIzKJB877SpZBAyK-7UwZH5xeGr575A_ZdBzFAtSvz8xDLs/s320/sundayoutift.JPG" /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731330076696683378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiJV28j3KZXc3-RvQ7yKTHLPOB-VjQzKawQ4Lz5n5EVWFsveJp4XMee5TOJL9zNQC2emjMdIZjTty57fsxgrc8FPthSO9auRzWPkXxDqzpelMMpEURfhWwsMNJa8KpVh9GM021pELATYs/s320/P1160310.JPG" /></div></div></div>Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04929712217575703543noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497064512561518025.post-38844108272837977582012-01-04T18:42:00.000-08:002012-01-04T19:32:01.584-08:00a little catch up on casenSo I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve done a real blog post. Besides the Christmas letter it pretty much has been. Here’s what happened….we decided to cancel our internet at home (really bad idea, in case you were wondering) and switch phone plans to get new phones that already have the internet on them. We were thinking that in the long run this would save us money to combine our phone and internet bill since we were currently getting a discount on our internet and didn’t know if that would continue into forever.<br />So I guess we’ll never know if it really saved us money but in the mean time we just have to deal with not having internet on the laptop which means I will rarely be able to post pics on the blog. But I have been wanting to post a few updates about casen so that means you’ll just get more of a novel than a picture book post. Sorry. I’ll try to get some pics up soon. It would be fun to<br />post some recent ones as Casen has grown up a lot these past few months.<br /><br />Speaking of growing up I took him to the park a few days ago when it was about 50* out and it was awesome to be outside in December in that kind of weather. I’m not a fan of the cold so it was great for me. Anyway I took him to the park a few months ago and he was still a little freaked out about doing anything on his own. He would climb onto platforms and the bridges but he<br />wouldn’t walk around without holding onto my hand and he refused to happily go<br />down the slide unless I went with him. And even then sometimes he would whimper. This time we went and I took him right to the swings first. This is always a good idea because he loves them and then he’s happy enough to try other things without feeling too freaked out. After that I<br />took him on a few of the slides and then he wanted to try climbing up places without my help so I just followed him around for a while. After a bit I convinced him to try the higher slide by himself. I told him to sit at the top and I went to the bottom and told him I would catch him. I never actually thought it would work but he held onto the sides and slid himself down. It was actually pretty slippery and I ended up needing to catch him. I think it still scared him a little (he made this really scared face at the top of the slide every time) but not enough to not do it again. He did it 4 other times and was really sad when I told him we had to go. It was so fun to see him do things by himself. It makes me realize how much of a toddler he is and it was a little ridiculous how proud I was of him to go down the slide “all by himself” but I just couldn’t help it.<br /><br />Also I recently wrote down some things about Casen that I take for granted but really want to remember because I realize that these may be things that other parents have struggled with and that I may struggle with, with our future children and I want to remember to be grateful. And I want to have this list to look at on those days where I struggle to appreciate Casen’s<br />goodness when it may not be shining through so much. :)<br /><br />· He never had a problem switching from a bottle to<br />a sippy cup<br />· There were no complaints when we started feeding<br />him rice cereal<br />· He ate most baby foods without issue and would<br />even try to eat the ones that made him gag<br />· He had no problem switching to solid foods-all<br />at once. And I mean that literally. The day the dr. said he could try real food<br />(he was 4 months old) we went out to eat at Chuck-A-Rama and Aaron fed him<br />everything on the line. We didn’t really consider food allergies, but<br />thankfully he didn’t have any issues. I might do that differently the 2nd<br />time around.<br />· He has always been content to entertain himself<br />when I need to get housework or other things done. He does always prefer to be<br />where I am so he will usually bring his toys/books to wherever we are and hang<br />out there.<br />· He’s not a picky eater and will eat pretty much<br />anything we give him.<br />· He goes to bed without any issue. We read a<br />story, sing a song and then put him in bed and walk out. Sometimes we don’t<br />even do the first 2 things and he still never cries and hardly ever puts up a<br />fight.<br />· He remembers when I tell him “no” about certain<br />things and then is pretty good about not doing them unless he’s bored, tired,<br />or needs attention. He will often go to the thing he isn’t supposed to touch or<br />the place he shouldn’t be and shake his finger and say, “no, no!” to himself.<br />It’s pretty entertaining.<br />· For the most part he sits still during prayers.<br />Even when they are longer than his 2 second attention span. And he’s pretty<br />good at sitting quietly during the sacrament at church.<br />· If he is having a hard time being happy or<br />content during the day all I usually have to do is get down on his level and<br />spend some time playing, wrestling, or reading to him and he’s fine again. As<br />long as he gets some good one on one attention throughout the day he is content<br />during the in between times.<br /><br />His “loves”(hugs), kisses, and giggles are just the best in the world. I don’t know what it is about the sound of laughter from a small child but it makes me smile every time I hear it. I have a lot to be grateful for when it comes to this little boy!Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04929712217575703543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497064512561518025.post-70177245601087218692011-12-20T16:09:00.000-08:002011-12-20T16:15:06.493-08:00So I had a little issue uploading our christmas card to blogger so this is just the picture and text without all the fancy shmancy stuff. But you get the idea. Anyway, I haven't posted in forever and have lots to catch up on but I wanted to post this up to let you all know we are still alive and well and enjoying this holiday season. We hope you all are enjoying it as well! Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year too!<br /><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688367905434731378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7uxrIjC4W1Qti5CLOIHMUZZ70iz_b-axkF2CbklvR6Rz3v2ihtgNXpQO-BRzGIYMyw46IZyROHfJimaqvNyYXqSNMWMmazp7dZVUOnUTarraqXe1ObWKTG5N565JDoshWJCwz26qTbqc/s320/DSC_0452R.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><em>May your holidays be brighter than his!</em></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div>This past year has brought many miracles into our lives and we are truly grateful to our Savior for the blessings we have received. Here is a little update on what we’ve been up to:<br /><br />Aaron graduated from BYU this last August and hopes to be licensed as a family therapist in the near future. Currently he continues to work for Cyprus Credit Union where he’s been for the past Nine years. In our ward he’s been called to serve in the Bishopric which has been a challenging and rewarding opportunity.<br />Krista continues to work once a week at the BYU Salt Lake Center and really enjoys it. It’s nice to have people to converse with besides an 18 month old who is constantly jabbering, often incoherently. She was recently called to serve in the Young Women’s presidency in the ward and continues to serve as primary pianist as well. We both really love our ward and are grateful for the opportunities to serve.<br />Casen turned One this year in June, started walking in August and can say quite a few words and a few phrases. He’s currently obsessed with planes, balls, and gogs (dogs) and has become quite the helper. He loves to help me vacuum, put away laundry, set the table and help us say prayers. It has been so fun to watch him grow and develop. He makes me laugh on a daily basis and I’m glad to have him as my full-time buddy.<br /><br />We hope things have been well for you and your families. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!<br />Love,<br />The Taylors<br /></div>Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04929712217575703543noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497064512561518025.post-10722199341638268132011-09-17T13:45:00.000-07:002011-09-17T15:49:48.523-07:00Aaron's GraduationSo this is a little late but I figured better late than never. It's such great news that I couldn't not post it! Aaron graduated August 12, 2011 from BYU with a Bachelor's in Family Science. It was a great day!! He wasn't actually planning to walk but I really wanted him to and I'm glad he did because it was fun to see and a great way to celebrate the end of his schooling- so far. Eventually he will go on to get his Master's degree but we are taking a bit of a break from school for him. (YAY!) I apologize for the poor quality of the photos and video.

The last 2 years he has been in school consistently without much of a break. I can't imagine the effort and diligence it must take to be in school full time and work full time not to mention a church calling and family life all to juggle. You've done a great job and I am so happy for you to be done with this degree!! Thanks for all your hard work. Casen and I are so grateful for the sacrifices you have made for our family.

But surprisingly by Monday he seemed to be feeling much better and Aaron's dad has a season pass to the Hogle Zoo so we decided to go with him and our nephews. Casen was pretty fascinated by the animals. He "ooohed" a lot which is his "wow that's so cool" sound he makes when he really likes something.

Casen rode in the stroller so I guess you could say he completed his first 5k at 15 months! What an athletic child we have on our hands!

I've never liked running or even jogging for that matter and all my experiences with it have been horrible but this has inspired me to think that maybe, perhaps, sometime in the future I could run a 5k. We mostly speed walked this one, but we did run a few times and I was able to get to a point in my running where I thought, wow, if running felt like this all the time I could see how people would want to do it. So it was a good experience. And then at the end they handed out free frozen yogurt from tcby. Yeah, weird that they handed out yogurt after a run....but I definitely wasn't complaining. So here's our first ever finished family 5k picture!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

I just was sitting here thinking about the beauty of books on cd and how I just put a few on hold at the library today and how great it will be to have those to listen to as I'm cleaning and such at home. For some reason it's really hard for me to always be motivated to do my "chores" and not just sit down and play with Casen all day. Weird, I know. So lately I've been listening to talks, music, or dare I confess, watching movies on the laptop (Don't tell Aaron, he thinks I'm not that lazy). haha just kidding. he already knows. Anyway this whole train of thought got me to thinking about how we are moving so I was picturing all my cleaning being done in our new apt. And THEN I pictured myself doing laundry in our new apt. because I will be doing it IN our new apt. Yes, I said IN meaning that we are now the proud owners of our very own washer and dryer which by the way, we paid cash for!!! YAHOO!!! This is a slight step up from our current washer/dryer situation because we have them here at the apt. but they are upstairs and across the back porch in a separate room which I'm still extremely grateful to have. But I'm more grateful that they are in our apt. Ask me later if I feel that way because I have a feeling I won't love the noise. But right now I'm lovin' the idea. Our other piece of excitement is that we also paid cash for a portable dishwasher because this new place doesn't have one. After we decided we already wanted the apt. Aaron reminded me that this place doesn't have one and I pretty much wanted to cry. I realize that people get by without dishwashers and we actually didn't have one in our first apt. But that's why I wanted to cry when I thought about us not having one because I know what it's like for us: we struggle keeping up on them regularly so I ended up spending hours a day making up for it. This was before we had Casen. I just couldn't wrap my mind around the idea of keeping up on dishes <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> Casen. (Secretly I'm sure it's possible and you do what you've got to do but I'm glad I don't have to do <span style="font-style: italic;">that</span>). So we will have a dishwasher, with a counter top that doesn't look ghetto! :) Anyway, that was my train of thought as I was sitting at work today...Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04929712217575703543noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497064512561518025.post-19796174295319647222011-07-10T20:23:00.000-07:002011-07-10T20:51:54.526-07:00CampingThis last weekend we went camping for the first time as a family with our ward. It was really fun! I would love to do it again. Although it's much more work when you do it on your own. We didn't have to bring any of the food except a dish to share so it was an easy trip for us! Casen was in absolute heaven with the dirt and rocks and since we just let him explore he came back to us pretty dirty. Here are some pics of the evidence:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

</span>(moves his pointer finger and tries to tickle you)</p><span style="font-family: times new roman;">Casen is SO fun. He loves to be like mom and dad and eat the same foods we do. Often he will refuse his if we are eating regular food because he always prefers to eat what we do. He imitates so much with so many things it’s surprising what he picks up on at such a young age. The other day we had music on while I was feeding him and I started snapping to the music. A few seconds later I noticed he was trying to snap too. So cute! And so fun to see him learning so much. </span><p style="font-family: times new roman;" class="MsoNoSpacing">Lately he has started to really like some toys that he wasn’t much interested in a few months ago. There’s a truck that he will push around that keeps him busy for up to a ½ hour sometimes. We also got a hand me down push toy that has balls on the inside that pop when the toy is pushed (I’m sure you all had one when you were younger). He’s not quite old enough for this yet since he can’t walk and push it but he really wants to play with it so it’s a love hate relationship for him because he tries so hard to get the balls to pop but then gets really frustrated when he can’t push it. I tried to get him to focus on some other toys when this was happening but he insisted on playing with the popper.</p><span style="font-family: times new roman;"> </span><p style="font-family: times new roman;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He’s also been very good at entertaining himself lately by exploring and usually he’ll play by himself while I get the house clean or laundry done. The only problem is that lately he’s figured out how to open the cupboards in the kitchen and we haven’t gotten them baby proofed yet. We need to get on that really soon or I might have more exciting yet dangerous stories for here. </p><span style="font-family: times new roman;"> </span><p style="font-family: times new roman;" class="MsoNoSpacing">And speaking of exciting stories….Aaron said this one would be a good one to write down and I haven’t yet so I figured here would be a good place for it. I do have to thank my brother Jared for doing this when he was younger. Because I heard of his experience from my mom when this happened to Casen I was able to deal with it without gagging or bawfing (barfing).</p><span style="font-family: times new roman;"> </span><p style="font-family: times new roman;" class="MsoNoSpacing">So one morning recently we got Casen out of bed and could tell he needed to be changed which is a usual for him in the morning. He was wearing a “night sack” for his pj’s (it’s like a big sack with a zipper) and when I unzipped him we saw that his diaper had come off in the night and all of its contents had spilled out into his pj’s. Awesome. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>So I took off his diaper and stuck him in the tub to clean him off. I completely forgot about rolling up his diaper and left it on the couch. Later that day he was playing on the couch while I was in the kitchen cooking. I look over to check on him and I notice some brown stuff on his fingers. For a split second I couldn’t think what it would be and then I remember his diaper must have been sitting there still. I ran over to him but before I could get to him he put one of his fingers in his mouth! Sick of a-mer-i-ca!!!! <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>WHY DID I LEAVE THAT DIAPER THERE??? Anyway we both lived through the experience without throwing up. In fact, he didn’t even react to what he ate and I was able to keep it together by not really thinking about it. And now it makes a good story I guess.</p><span style="font-family: times new roman;"> </span><p style="font-family: times new roman;" class="MsoNoSpacing">Well in 17 days Casen will be 1 year!! I can’t believe he’s already going to be that old! </p><span style="font-family: times new roman;"> </span><p style="font-family: times new roman;" class="MsoNoSpacing">We love our little man!</p>Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04929712217575703543noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497064512561518025.post-90684891660026766002011-03-22T16:12:00.001-07:002011-03-22T16:24:09.520-07:00A couple weeks ago I was asked to clog at a Relief Society activity.

(nice double negative, eh?) I just can't believe Casen is 8 months. Okay, actually that part is believable seeing as how he was born in June. counting the months up until now that makes perfect sense. It's more the fact that he can do all these things that makes it hard for me to believe that he's old enough to do this. (you think you can do these things nemo, but you just can't!...sorry, i couldn't resist. it fit so well). And i guess something that contributes to that is there is no specific age that a baby may do these things. Some babies walk at 9 months, others not until 15 months or later and it's all considered common and developmentally okay either way. so i never really know when to expect him to do these things. so i just sit back and wait and watch. I guess I just didn't expect it to happen this fast. Anyway, I'm sure that's enough about my issues of fully accepting his developmental growth. We are happy that he is developing and it's fun to watch him learn new things.

Really I’m just looking for some advice because what I’m doing isn’t working for us and I really need some help. So if you have any advice whatsoever please feel free to share it because if I don’t figure this out soon I’m going to go insane. <span style=""> </span>And as a disclaimer I am not saying that I don’t really love being a stay at home mom because I do. I really enjoy it. Seriously. It’s just that I can’t seem to find a way to balance things even just a little bit.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Basically it comes down to this: Even though Casen now has a schedule and has had one for some time, I still haven’t been able to figure out how to get things done and be productive while raising a child. Now before you roll your eyes and think, “Krista, no one gets things done as a mom. You just have to be okay with chaos for the rest of your life because that’s what being a mom is like” I want you to know that I’m not expecting perfection here or even what it used to be like before Casen was born. I’m fully aware that the definition of productivity changes once you become a mom. At least it has for me and realizing this has helped me a ton. However, I do believe that having balance in life is essential and that’s what I’m addressing here. My life is disorganized and chaotic ALL the time. I’m constantly running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to find some type of routine that will work and it’s not working!!! And it’s driving me insane!!! I feel like there is so much to do between laundry, errands, groceries to buy, my job once a week, not to mention the housework. My problemo is that I’m lucky if I can get any 1 or 2 of the above done in a day but I can’t find time to get to anything else. And it seems like even though I clean it one day it’s ready to be cleaned the very next day! We just moved mid-december and there are still a lot of bins that need to be organized and other spots of the apt. that just need a de-junking. I feel that if I ever take time to do these the rest of the house falls apart in the meantime. So my question is…what can I do that I’m not doing? Do you have a routine that works for you? Do you have a day for certain things where you only work on that one thing? </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Thanks for letting me get that out. Not that you really had a choice but if you are reading this and/or commenting I appreciate it. I LOVE being a mom and wife but the fact that I’m drowning is not only affecting me it’s affecting my family too. I’m finding that it’s hard to keep the spirit in a place of constant chaos and it’s a million times easier to get stressed out when things are not in order. I want our home to be a place of peace and safety so our family WANTS to be here. </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"> </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Okay I have a few other things to post about Casen so watch for those to be coming soon. He just turned 8 months old yesterday!!!<span style=""> </span>Crazy to think about and has grown so much in the past few months so I will post an update and hopefully some pics and videos too. Soon.</p>Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04929712217575703543noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497064512561518025.post-3047775057604739732011-01-15T13:29:00.000-08:002011-01-15T14:18:04.307-08:00video... if it'll freakin' workOur internet is being stupid so I'm having to make several different posts so that I can make sure everything gets on here. I'm never certain when it might go out and not work anymore and I'd hate to do a long post and have it go out. So I'm doing several shorter ones. This last one is a video of Casen sitting up in the kitchen. He's gotten a lot better at sitting lately. He was a bit wobbly for a while but seems to have figured it out. He looks like such a little man sitting up all the time now. I love it!<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyFga4iAPe-t8bQerAmNyoeKOwPCDteqe5r-YbhsV1-tzLvpwtnLf4J-weZjS2cKwH56f5ZMWIWceor2hbK_w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04929712217575703543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497064512561518025.post-51159277270041180762011-01-15T13:24:00.000-08:002011-01-15T13:29:46.724-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJUIzGFVJGWLFQoU4OnoFwrbCxmiLP4hJzDZDsumYuhQEAmEfoj2RSPcjtcup53HNm5jWiBZlbaOFUrav1lnJw4NSjFX3RqIP3CEXBhSLUKxXfF1H1f0gCG0jlCWh3Fhp1sEJZcKfQiPA/s1600/002.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJUIzGFVJGWLFQoU4OnoFwrbCxmiLP4hJzDZDsumYuhQEAmEfoj2RSPcjtcup53HNm5jWiBZlbaOFUrav1lnJw4NSjFX3RqIP3CEXBhSLUKxXfF1H1f0gCG0jlCWh3Fhp1sEJZcKfQiPA/s320/002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562526832450505314" border="0" /></a>So I'm in the process of trying to be a super awesome couponer. Every now and then I can get a good deal and since it's not all the time yet that I get the deals I wanted to post one. Mostly to remind myself that it's worth it to keep trying. I got all this at smiths for $15! Yes, please act very surprised and pleased so that I can feel accomplished. I have to give credit to Aaron for always responding with excitement and enthusiasm when I come home all excited about a good deal that I got. He's a good sport to guess "how much do you think all of this cost me?" The question I'm constantly asking when I come home with a good deal.

Ours were pretty much the best sweaters ever!! Especially Casen's. He would have won, of course, but he had taken his off before they voted. :)</a><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhEM6w83lustzzQ_rSTjQPuuzRnE-hfVZibxlDQNh3DDdg9DZEiwMo7lbEiEJP26tWaXWrswrh-OpRXX4um4n9oTUBEMXVOFBRmHVey0kocyTDxk7pCNvzQWlbE-Ajy9eE_S0WSdd6WQ/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhEM6w83lustzzQ_rSTjQPuuzRnE-hfVZibxlDQNh3DDdg9DZEiwMo7lbEiEJP26tWaXWrswrh-OpRXX4um4n9oTUBEMXVOFBRmHVey0kocyTDxk7pCNvzQWlbE-Ajy9eE_S0WSdd6WQ/s320/001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562517839499423010" border="0" /></a>We often find him sleeping with limbs hanging out of his bed. Especially now that we don't have the padded guards up. Doesn't seem to bother him though.

We moved during the holidays, again, which totally stinks so it was a little crazy for a while. However that doesn't entirely excuse my lack of posts since I obviously have issues keeping up on posts but whatev. I'll try to do better. So these are just some recent photos and videos that we've taken.
