Bubba's Picks
I love all of these cute clothes from Zara for Bubba! I think that living in Kansas City will give me the perfect chance to dress him in ridiculously cute fall/winter clothes.

Obsessed
Like I said in my last post that to compensate for the craziness of this move I have taken to online shopping. What started as things that we will need for our place has now turned in to a majority of look at things that I want need for myself, bubba and Jake. I have also realized that when I find something I like for some reason I have an obsession to get it in every color. But regardless of my weird ways I have formed a collection of what I am currently obsessed with. I am still trying to figure out what I desperately need to buy and what I could possibly make, I'll probably end up buying Bubba clothes cuz they always look cuter than my clothes!

Moving
I have decided that the thing I want most in this life right now is for Hogwarts to be real. If it were then I could use some magic spell to have everything pack its lovely self up, transport itself to Kansas City, and magically use one of those spells like in the 4th movie where the tent is like 5 times the real size to make any apartment the size I want it.
After making a ridiculously large number of trips to home depot ( I think they recognize me now), calling a billion different moving companies, packing all our crap up (how do 2 people have that much stuff), and tirelessly searching for apartments/townhomes online I look like this
Like maybe if I put my hands over my eyes all the crap will go away. Luckily though it is all ending. Our pod is coming tomorrow! We are leaving for Denver Saturday, and then Sunday completing our drive to Kansas City. Although we will be doing a mad dash once we get there for apartments (we have like a list of 23), I plan to do a lot of this...
Sleep like a baby in a band new wonderful city!
Until I can do this, I will continue to rip my hair out and compensate by searching for all the new things we need for our new place!! Its like registering for our wedding all over again, except now we have to buy the stuff lol. Oh well, the shopping is going to be a great use of my time and gives me an excuse to get to know my new city!

Follow the Yellow Brick Road...
Which will lead you straight to Kansas, which happens to be where we are moving!
Jake was offered and accepted a job in Kansas City, Kansas! Hewe start work July 30th, which means we have a lot to get done in a short time window. We are hoping to be completely moved out of Utah by the end of next week so we can start this next chapter. We found out yesterday and spent the whole day calling friends and family who we knew had worried about us, and prayed for us, and spent countless time talking to us and trying to help us. We are so grateful for each of you and all that you have helped us with!
Its a little scary to be that far away from family but we are so excited to be in a big city! We already have this long list of things we plan to do, like actually watch good college football (Rock Chalk Jay-hawk), and go to a Raider Football game for me and a 49ers for Jake, the list continues but I will spare you.
It's going to be a bug adjustment and Jake spends over 50% of his time traveling but we know this is exactly where we are supposed to be and we are so excited for this change! I am crossing my fingers that Jake gets to travel to some cool cities and that Ty and I can tag along to explore different areas while he works all day! I have a ridiculously long list of things I need to get done, which is why I am procrastinating by looking at home furniture instead of actually researching places lol. I feel like I am in the twilight zone, but a really fantastic one!
Ps has anyone used those pods things? We are 99% sure we are going to use one just trying to figure out which company to use? If you have and you love it let me know! Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Mom!
Happy Birthday Mom! I'm so incredibly glad that I get to be with you on your actual birthday. I love you so much and am so grateful you're my mom.
I'm sorry that I was once embarrassed of you and asked which of my aunts to bring to the mother's day program in 1st grade. I'm sorry that I embarrassed you in 2nd grade by drawing a picture saying that during the summer you laid on a pool floatie in the pool and Kenz and I had to sit on the side lines (for the record that is untrue). Luckily I outgrew that stage quickly (freshman year of high school) and from that time on have realized how lucky I am to have you as my Momma. I know that I am a better mom to Bubba because I have you to look to as an example. Thank you for always loving and supporting me even when I was a total idiot. Love ya Momma, cant wait to spend your day with you!
Ps...Bubba and Jake always say Happy Birthday!

Holding My Breath
All day today I will be holding my breath. I will continue being anxious and holding my breath for up to a week. It will all work out how it's supposed to. But until we know one way or the other I'll just keep holding my breath, letting God direct us which direction to go.
Lions, Tigers and Bears Oh My!
I normally am not a huge Wizard of Oz fan. I love Wicked but the Wizard of Oz is somewhat boring to me. But considering some things in our life right now and the fact that we spent this morning at the Hogle Zoo I thought it was perfect.
It was so fun to walk around and show Bubba all the animals. I love showing him stuff and looking at him exploring this great big world! It's also so incredibly fun to be with my family!
On a side note my favorite pictures are the ones where Bubba is blowing kisses holding his little polar bear, and the one where he rests his bottle on his polar bear so he didn't have to hold it. His little personality is so funny!

Summer Lovin
Being from Southern Ca, my favorite time of year is Summer. I love the smell of sunscreen, the tight feeling of my skin when I have a slight burn, no makeup and my hair constantly in a bun or pony. I love introducing Bubba to all my favorite summer activities.
Today we met up with my family at a kiddie water park in Draper. It was so fun. My mom spent quality time with Bubba while my 3 sisters and I rode all the rides together. I love everything about water slides until the moment you pop out and hit wedgie central surrounded by people you don't know!
After successfully not losing my bottoms or flashing some poor, innocent child we returned home where my loving sisters offered to watch Bubba so Jake and I could go to dinner. Its weeks and days like these where I'm surrounded by my family that I realize the huge blessing I have been given in my life.
So here's a couple of pics from before the water park, the last ones my favorite! It's like he was searching for cute girls/friends to play with. Hope all y'alls summer is going just as great!!!!
