Playing soccer with the elders

Trip recap

We headed to montrose on July 26th. We drove from 530 am and arrived at 11 am. We stopped at glwnwood springs and saw their awesome hot springs.

We loved being with the bugarins. With Sarah being pregnant we mostly hung out at their house but the kids loved playing with each other and their house has a great play room and backyard. 

Sunday we went to church and their ward was really nice. Sarah made amazing food as always. Monday Ty and I worked for a little bit then we visited jay at work. We visited an Indian museum and played outside. 

It was a great trip to celebrate our 7th anniversary. I can't believe that! Time felt like it's flown by since we had kids. We felt very blessed.

Montrose trip

Sometimes

When it's the end of the day and I have exhausted all my mommy activities the girls get creative. Their latest thrill is the fridge. They love stacking all the tubberware in there. London just thinks Sydney is the coolest and will do anything to keep up with her big sister. 

I'm also selling our rocking chair. We don't need two of them and it does not have padding for my arms. I loved this chair because we put so much work into it. It's been a great help these last two years but it's time to help someone else. 

London's Skin

Little London has always struggled with super dry skin. It seemed like it was getting really bad the last couple of weeks. Specially on her little left leg, right behind her knee cap. We had started using the Target brand baby wash and noticed it got bad, so we stopped using it and we went to Babies R Us and spent nearly $50 on special soap and lotion for eczema. It's amazing how expensive things are but it was really worth it if it made her feel better. 

Today I worked a lot. I got up and worked 6 am - 8am then headed to Pat's office from 8 -12. I came home, packed the girls and took Mya home. We played with the Scottorns for an hour, headed home for naps. I ran and then worked for another hour. 

The girls woke up and we eat dinner - orange chicken with rice.After we facetimed with my mom. Tyson got home and had another bad day at work. It's been hard because it seems like this entire last month has been filled with horrible tenant issues and the gate keeps breaking down. 

We went on a walk to let off steam. We put the girls to bed at 830, then I headed back downstairs to finish a little more work before heading off to bed. 

It's time's like these - when you are in the MIDDLE of working toward your goal that it seems it will never happen. You keep chugging along and doing your best, delaying gratification and praying it all works out. You wonder how anyone does it. Still I have faith that we'll look back on these years and say "wow those were the good times". 

Tomorrow the girls have therapy and then we start to get ready to go on our big trip to visit the Bugarins :) 

Lately

Today I worked from 6-830. Then we played outside. After London's morning nap we headed to the park and played for over an hour while I listened to a webinar on my headset. 

We came home, played, girls down for nap, I took a much needed shower, then worked for 90 minutes, Sydney got up and crying so I went to lay with her. She was back sleeping in 25 minutes. Came back down stairs to work on my website copy. Them recorded another webinar. 

Tonight we head to visits with the church missionaries and them home. It's pizza Friday so my oven is warming up. 

It's been a good week. I feel really really blessed. I teach Sunday school this week so I need to get that ready. 

This week I washed my tip couch cushions. So this free snow is what Tyson and Sydney did to "help" me. At night Sydney has been loving using her little broom to "paint" with water. She loves it. Ty and I will sit out in our front porch enjoying a warm summer night and Sydney will spend a good hour just playing in the water. 

Break ups and Learning

SO I broke up with a client today. This was my second since starting my business. It never gets easier. I know it was for the best - our personalities were oil and water. Truthfully it was a sigh of relief. It was not working out even though we both tried. So it's over. On to bigger and better right? But just like leaving a bad friendship, it's still a loss. 

To make the most of it I decided to dedicate that time to getting kick bury at Facebook analytics, google analytics and doing work on writing my we pages for my upcoming website. This stuff is important but also hard do I tend to put it off in the name of clients. Well my excuses are gone. I'm learning lots. I'm learning what I love to do and what I dragy feet to do. Either way I feel like The Lord is guiding me and helping me out.  I'm grateful for the clients that I have that I love and want to fight for. 

London pictures

I found these on Tyson's phone and thought they were too cute to pass up. Man this little lady has grown up so much.
