little update..........some thoughts.........



Over the weekend Mac and I went to St George with my family. It was bostyns first road trip. She literally slept the whole 4 hour drive, other then woke up to eat and fell asleep while doing it. It was awesome!  It was nice to relax and just hang out. The boys went down to go golfing so they did that in the mornings and had lots of fun. We just went hot tubing and watched movies and ate a lot of junk food. Its a fun place to go when you don't have money haha, but you still feel like you got the "away" feeling.
 It was the perfect weekend for Mckay. Between work and school he really needed it. He's been working sooooo hard even through Saturdays the past month, so I was glad we were able to do this. He finish's his CNA this week, and then this summer he will be applying to nursing schools. We haven't really decided where we want to go yet for school, but McKay told me this weekend that he would love to move to St George after he's done with school, but we'll see. My uncle builds houses so that would defiantly be a plus to living there. It defiantly wouldn't be till Mac was done with school and making some money. I'm getting so sick of Utah County! Although, its my home and I would miss it, there is something about living here that makes me feel like I'm in a fish bowl. I don't really know how to explain it. Everything is a competition, just like day to day life "look what I have and you don't." People just trying to one up everyone else.  I dunno just weird to me. I would love to live somewhere else for a while.
Mac and I are really excited for the summer and its festivities! Were excited for our first summer with Bostyn!  I cant wait to take her swimming and play outside, and the 4th of July too, its kind of a big deal in Mckay's family.  We'll be going to my aunts cabin for a family reunion as well which I will be excited for. Mckay and I haven't been to her cabin since its been done :) We missed out when everyone went for Christmas a couple years ago, because of work. And maybe....just maybe a trip if we can afford to, maybe in the fall or something. We'll see, I'm not gonna get my hopes up haha, we'll have to save our pennies.
For me, I'm just loving being a stay at home mommy :) Its really been the best. I actually thought I was pregnant last month which was a bit of a scare. But it turns out that I'm not haha. I probably would have cried for a day or two, maybe a week.......probably a month, but I actually would have been just fine with it. Not like I really would have had a choice haha, but I would have been fine. Its the best thing in the world. I love hearing about my friends and family who are pregnant because its so exciting! On my cousins facebook the other day her status was this "Wondering what our society would be like if being a stay at home mom was the most prestigious, praised, and highly regarded role one could have..." I seriously wanted to cry Steph!! But its so true and so important to remember. All you moms out there, when life gets tough at home and you wanna through in the towel remember that. :) Society has a really sad opinion about stay at  home mothers and tries to distort the importance of it, and I thought that was so cool that she said that. Other then being at home there really isn't a lot going on with me. Bostyn takes up most of my time. I'm enjoying my new hobbies which helps break up the day a little. But things are going well.
Bostyn has been wonderful and such a blessing. She's getting so big it seems, and she's talking a lot! This is what her life consists of.....

Sleeps, watches TV, haha and poops but I didn't take a pic of that haha. She really is the sweetest girl. She's so smiley and giggly. We just love her! She looks more and more like Mckay and I everyday and I'm loving it.
