100

Today I am feeling... 100 days old. I did body pump at the gym yesterday, and apparently they work out muscles that my legs didn't know they had. I knew it was going to be bad when my legs felt like jello right out of the class, but it has only gotten worse. I have never been so happy that we live on the bottom floor of our house because I am pretty sure I would not be making it up the stairs, or down!
It's now... 100 degrees outside. I am normally one that somewhat likes the heat, but I feel myself already running out of food because its too hot to run my normal errands, and of course I don't feel like cooking in this heat. This week we have been going to a hotel pool that's close by. It has been pure heaven! Sawyer started swim lessons this week, and I have already seen him improve so much. He is loving swimming with his friends while Tyson and I sit on some lounge chairs talking and eating.
I would love... 100 minutes to myself. Lately I feel like I don't remember what it was like to just sit and think, or have an adult conversation. I am getting anxious for Magnolia to go to bed early and still sleep all night so that I can enjoy my nights again. I feel like it is constant talking from Sawyer, and worrying about Magnolia. I need just a little time to myself.
About to drive... 100 miles to my Moms. I am so grateful that my parents live so close so that I can go there and spend my summers without feeling to far away. We are going this next weekend for the 4th. I can already taste the smores on the beach while we watch the fire works from two different cities, sitting in our bathing suits in sun tanned (or maybe burned) skin.
Wishing I could weigh... 100 pounds, and then a few extra. I am anxiously awaiting my post pregnancy body. It came earlier with Sawyer and now I feel like I am going to have to change my diet to actually lose the weight. I don't mind the workouts, but it is so hard for me to give up my treats and snacks. I get so grumpy when I can't eat what I want, mainly my dessert late at night.
Looking forward to... 100 days from now. I am already realizing the Fall is going to be here before I know it. Its my favorite season. It means the weather is going to get cooler, the grass is going to get greener, the food is going to get yummier, and the holidays are close.
Loving... giving Magnolia 100 kisses on her chubby, soft cheeks. This little girl is my obsession right now. I can't get enough of her.

Magnolia's Blessing

all the family that came for the blessing

What a day this was! We had wanted to bless Magnolia at home like we had done with Sawyer, but when Tyson asked the Bishop he said no, and we all know that Tyson is non-confrontational and wouldn't push it. Oh, how I wish I would have...
First off the dress that I had to bless her in was the cutest thing ever. My mom got it before we knew the sex of Sawyer and I saved it in hopes that I would have a girl because I loved it that much! Well when I tried it on her the week before the blessing it was not a cute fit, I couldn't eve make it work. So thankfully my Mom found a basic white one at baby gap.
When we got the the church it was about 110 outside and you would have thought it would have been freezing inside, but NOPE, the air wasn't working. I thought I was going to die. I have never been so glad that I was a girl, and not in a suit and tie like Tyson. We were totally sweating from the moment we walked in.
I had to wake Mags up and get her out of her carseat for the blessing and then that was it. The moment Tyson started to giver her her blessing she started bawling into the mic. I am sure Tyson gave her a great blessing, but I couldn't even concentrate. All I could hear was my baby crying, and I was dripping sweat out of worry and heat. It was a nightmare! All in all Tyson did great, but next time I will find a way to do it at home again with our air running, and just our family around.

the one and only picture I have me and my little girl

friends

mila, sawyer, kate and sophia

These four our my favorite combination...Mila and Sawyer are the best of friends and play so well together, and then Kate and Sophia are the same way. They all play so well together, but then they split up and play in their separate pairs.
Last week Lillie had them all over to play and took these cute pictures!

I can't wait for their wedding

and who can resist this cute face

two months...a little late

I can't believe this little girl is already 2 months, well actually 2 1/2, but I have been meaning to post this for awhile. She weighed in at 11 pounds 14 ounces so I guess I get to break out the 3-6 month clothing a little early. I feel like she wants to be thirty already. She is so strong. Already rolling over and talking/laughing for us all day long. She hates to be left alone. She gives this mad cry/yell whenever we leave her, I guess she is just like her mom always wanting to be social. Sawyer loves her more and more everyday. Sawyer has nicknamed her "cuters" and Tyson calls her Maggers, so I am sad that I am losing the Lola nickname that I was really hoping for. Maybe when she gets older Lola will be easier for her to spell and put on papers at school and whatnot. I am not sure that the name cuters would work for that! She is still sleeping all night which I could not love her more for, but her napping is not her favorite. She is more of a cat napper than a long stretch kind. I guess I can't complain though when I get to sleep at night. All in all she is a great little baby. These past couple of months have flown by, and now I see why people get sad when they get old too fast. I couldn't imagine never having a baby this stage again.

Weekend Away

Tyson and Colby had their big jewelry show in Vegas again so last minute Sarah and I decided to join them, with Magnolia of course! My mom was willing as always to take Sawyer for a long weekend and so off we went.

We stayed at Planet Hollywood, which I have decided I am a little too old for. Everyone was in their twenties ready to party on the top floor, and the pool was just too "sceney" for us. I felt more like a Mom than ever. We got to enjoy the pool a little, but it was so hot, even in the shade, and so I felt bad for Magnolia. Sarah and I ended up spending our days at the mall where it was nice and cool.

One night we met up with Tyler, Kim and Benton to eat dinner at Cafe Rio. Then we went over to a nice outdoor mall where the boys sat at a bar and watched the Laker game, and the girls shopped at H&M. Then we had yummy dessert at Claim Jumper!

I am not sure that this was the trip for me with a little baby, but it was nice to have a break from the real world for a few days, and I always love seeing Tyler and family. We even spent a night with him because the hotel was so expensive on the weekend.

Sawyer and Mag's...

I feel like it has been forever since I blogged...I feel like I somewhat have my life in order, but then again there are a lot of things that I find myself with no time for. Either way, I am going to try and remember some things to capture the last month or so of our lives.

Magnolia is getting so big. We are all obsessed with the PUJ bathtub for babies. Kim loaned me Benton's and its made bath time our favorite time of night. She could sit in there forever and be so happy. She is smiling and cooing a ton, loves when Sawyer comes in every morning to see her, and is pretty much her happiest when she is in her car seat running errands with me. I am so grateful because she will sit and be happy so that I can go to the gym everyday, which needs to be the priority of my day! I feel sad everyday that she gets older because I feel like I have lost my newborn.

Sawyer has been really getting more and more personality lately. He started sleeping under his bed instead of on it. We thought that he was falling out every night, but then one night he told us that he likes to go to sleep under there, and asked Tyson to move him up when we go to bed.
He has officially got engaged. I am not sure where he learned all of this, but he decided that he wanted to marry Mila, and that he needed to ask Ross for his permission. One night at dinner with them he first asked Ross if it was ok, which Ross said it was as long as he went on a mission and got a good job, and then he got down on his knee and proposed to Mila. Thankfully she loves him just as much and so she said yes! Since then all he talks about is going on his mission to Mexico (where Jace is), and then marrying Mila. He seems to think they will have two kids...but I guess we'll have to just wait and see.
