June 2017-Half Way
This year is half over! It's insane how fast time goes. This month was a lot of fun! :) The biggest two things I got to do was go to Youth Conference with our ward youth and three family reunions in two days.
Youth Conference was way fun. I love being a Young Women's leader and this was a great opportunity to get to know the girls. They like to listen to my weird life stories and jam out to music. I drove the "Party Bus" and we just had a great time all around.
For our first family vacation this year, Devin and I drove to Boise, then to Blackfoot, then to Ririe, then Ashton, and Lastly 14 hours home! We totaled over 2400 miles this trip. We got to eat at Tucanos one night with my parents. The last time we were here was the night before our wedding. The food is way good...but VERY expensive. We attended the Wilcock Reunion at Settlers Park in Boise. Here we played games, and I got to see a lot of aunts and uncles.
That night we drove to Blackfoot and stayed with Devin's grandparents. It was nice to see them and Kamille loves them so much.
In the morning we went to the Great Lloyd Reunion a few miles away and could only stay for 2 and a half hours. But we got to at least see and hug my Grandpa and a few of the aunts and uncles.
We then hurried to Ririe and spent a few hours at the Hawkes Reunion. We painted birdhouses and chatted with lots of people.
The last two nights we stayed in Ashton and just enjoyed our remaining vacation.
We spent a little time at the mall in Idaho Falls and in that short amount of time, Lillian had a blow out on me and Kamille had an accident in Gymboree. It's crazy how time has changed from walking though the mall with friends looking at clothes and shoes with not a care in the world -to a mom trying to keep her toddler close, smelling like poo, and wiping pee off store floors. I could go a few weeks without leaving the house.
On our 14 hour drive home we got 4 hours into our trip when we got a not so nice reminder that we forgot to give Kamille her her motion sickness medication.... (SO MUCH VOMIT!!!) She was so sad and embarrassed but I just felt like a terrible mom forgetting the medication that morning. After a short pit stop and getting it cleaned up as possible, we continued on home.
In the remaining summer we have two more family reunions and one wedding. So hopefully we get better at the whole travelling thing. :)
Lillian is 6 months on the 7th of July. She is getting huge and I'm afraid we are going to have to move her to 9 month clothes already. She likes to eat everything! Baby food, suck on watermelon, ice cream and we let her taste everything! She got her first hair cut this month too. I just trimmed the long hair to match her hair coming in. It's coming in blond and thick! She doesn't like tummy time but I think she will be crawling soon. She can sit up for a few minutes before she just falls over.
She loves her sister so much and watches her every move.
Kamille is doing great! She is a singing machine and never stops. She loves Lillian and jumping on her is her favorite. Even when I tell her to be soft, she just wants her to play all the time. Kamille is wearing panties full time and has one or two accidents a week. She is now able to go to the bathroom all herself, so that's nice. When she is in there she has to talk about everything out loud (example: I'm peeing, I'm pooping, Don't forget to wipe, Flush the toilet, Wash our hands) She says these phrases in her singing voice. She eats ALL THE TIME. Most mornings I wake up with a little face right above mine saying, "I'm hungry, I need eggs, I need pancakes, I need cheese, I need apple sauce...etc" She goes on and on until I get up and get her a plate of food. I love that she likes to eat fruit and veggies! She is such a good eater.
Devin and I are doing good. Devin has been busy with work and I've been trying my hardest to be the best mother and wife. I have also been doing lots of pictures and having fun with that. This last month was a tough one with our weight-loss journey, we have been eating just fine but working out less and less. So we are starting up again. Everyday is a new day :) Yesterday I went jogging and it felt great!
