Feelin a little down

I don't know whats gotten into me lately but Ive got the blues. Its so hard to adjust living away from my family and closest friends. I do love my life, but I miss not being able to go to my parents for Sunday dinner or calling an old friend for lunch. I know that being a new mom has been a lot harder for me than I had thought. I miss working with people and feeling like I'm a part of this world. Don't get me wrong I love being a mom but its a big adjustment. I know that this is all a learning experience for me but sometimes I just need to vent about it. I love Nephi so much and his willingness to work so hard so I can be home. I just want to find myself again. Maybe I just sound crazy to everyone, but I need some sunshine in my life, and I don't mean the sun I get beat down with in Hurricane where I live. :) I want to be a happy mom and I hope I'm doing a good job at it. I just needed to let this out, Sorry about the dumbest post ever. But I feel better after writing it out. And for those old friends and new friends who are reading this please know that I love you all very much and you make my life better.

Life in the heat means swim, swim, swim. And a little something about Nephi :)

Father's day. What can I say about Nephi as a father. He is the most loving kind and paitent daddy. Maverick is his whole world. They are buddies and I dont think Nephi has ever been happier. I love the both of them and dont know where my life would be without them.
Dont ask me why I had my camera at church, but this is so cute of him looking at the song book waiting for daddy to finish teaching sunday school.
After church yesterday we went to the park. Daddy wanted to just relax and since it was his day thats what we did.

Nephi had so much fun with Maverick at this park. It was like 104 this day but you wouldnt know it. These boys are like little fish, I cant keep them out of the water.
He loves his daddy

This was at a really cool little water park in St. George. I went with my friend Nicole and her two kids. Maverick of course had no fear and was standing right where the water could just spray him in the face.
This is Nicole's little girl Elle. Maverick loves her but she's not sure what she thinks of him yet.

This is a new little pool my friend Tresca got Maverick for his birthday. He loves it because he can get in and out of it on his own, Which is so Maverick. Mr. independent.
I know these little swim hats he has on are a little corny, but the totally protect his ears and face from the sun. :)
A little ring toss action, and he was pretty good. :)
This face is typical, mom are you done taking pics yet?

My mom and sis came to visit, with a little fishing on the side

Nephi took just Sarah and I fishing, it was so fun.

We went swimming and Maverick loved it. He isnt affraid of anything, and the water is his favorite

This is after swimming, poor baby was so tired

Look at that face.
He wanted to give the Fishy kisses, he always trys


I love my mom and sis so much. This visit was some of the funnest times I've ever had with them

Our Little Birthday All star!!

He was so over the taking pictures by this point. I felt so bad, but the rest of the kids were having fun. Man when the fingers come out you know this poor baby is tired. What a long day

This is the lovely bruse on his forehead from diving into the corner of the table the morning of his birthday. I think I cried harder than he did

I can not believe my baby is One. His birthday was May 16th. And we had a party for him on the 17th at Chuck E Cheese in Orem. The party turned out so good and He loved it. Of course the theme was sports, daddy wouldnt have it any other way. Thank goodness Maverick loves them too. I cant even stand how cute is was in his Miami Dolphins Jersey. He was totally representing Mommy's team. What a blessing he has been in our lives. We dont even remember what life was like with out him. Our cup overfloweth.

Feeding the duckies

We went to Salem pond before we left to go home from Maverick's birthday weekend. Maverick loved feeding the ducks and they were little babies everywhere.

The cutest baby alive!!

Its been awhile since I put up new pics. My computer has issues. Anyway just thought I'd share these darling pics of Maverick. Ive been trying to get a cute one to put in his birthday invitations, and these are some I have so far.

Colbie Caillat (I love her) Came to St. George

This is my friend Kara. We went to the concert on Friday night and it was the one the best concerts ever, right up there next to Kenny Chesney
This is her, kind of blurry but she was so dang cute. She sounded awsome live!!

Fishing with Daddy

Daddy was so proud of his "fishies" Thats what Mav and I call them. I really couldnt belive how big they were so I sat Maverick by them to show the size.


Mommy and Mav just sit in the sun and watch Daddy
