a confession

i grew up eating peanut m&m's.

my mom loves them. and frankly, so do i.
that was until pretzel m&m's came out.
and i just cant deny my love
for these taste-y mini treats.
and i may have eaten an entire bag
by myself this week.
(glad i got that off my chest.)


a few weeks ago,
our ward was split to create a brand new ward..
we got put in the brand new ward,
and i have to admit, i was a little sad to leave our ward.
it was absolutely my most favorite ward ive been in.
(how many times can i use the word "ward"? my goodness)
jared and i decided maybe we would just
go to the family ward for the summer.
that was until we got a phone call from the bishop.
and he asked me to be the primary president.
and then we got a call from the stake.
and jared was asked to be the 1st counselor
in the elders quorum presidency.
guess we will stay in our student ward for the summer.
good thing my friends from the old ward will still let
parker and i come to play group :)

the other day i was cleaning parker's room
and found his bouncer.
he loved playing in it,
but holy hannah, he looks so big in it!

and apparently i need to be
way better at taking pictures.
these are the only ones ive
taken since i last posted.

also, dont worry....
13 more days till we receive
another bachelor's degree!
jared couldnt be more excited.

staying busy

between playing with hayden in the mornings,

going to play group 3 times a week,
enjoying some beautiful weather outside,
and the daily dishes, laundry, dinner making, cleaning
parker and i have been staying pretty busy!
last weekend, parker and i went to utah
to stay with my cousin's 3 cute girls.
we had a blast.
parker loved all the attention he got from the 3 of them
(so did I!)
and he LOVED their dog cooper.
he was in high heaven all weekend.

while we were there we got to go swimming.
the pool started out really shallow,
and gradually got deeper.
parker was a little hesitant at first,
but warmed up fast and loved walking in the water.

utah had some beautiful weather that weekend,
so we headed over the the park on afternoon.
we are so ready for summer!

and if you were in rexburg today,
you would have thought it was summer.
sunny skies and 55 degrees!
EVERYONE was outside at the park,
and more than 1 person was wearing shorts.
we very much enjoyed the afternoon with daddy all to ourselves!we printed the first 2 years of our blog into a book,
and it is absolutely parker's favorite book.
sometimes i have to hide it from him,
cause i get tired of looking through it!
