It's A' Mario Time

Tonight we just hung out at home and chilled out. Remington's uncle Bubbie bought Rem a fake mustache and i finally got Rem to wear it. I think he looks rather handsome in a Italian Stallion sort of way. I decided to try it on too. I do believe it's a sexy new accessory lol!

Birthday Party and Camping.

The last couple of weekends have been busy ones! The weekend of Aug 7th we went to Remington's cousins birthday party! It was a lot of fun. The party was in Pendelton at a really great park that has a small wading pool and on the other end a great play area. Before we went to the party we stopped off at Walmart and got Rem a booster seat..He was really excited to get into a big boy chair. It's kind of amazing all the different car seats you have to have now a days. After the party we came back to Baker and went to the Demolition Derby! Remington Was. In. Heaven! He loved the cars crashing into one another and the loud roaring engines. He kept saying "Get Thems Wheels!" He thought it was hilarious when the tires popped. It was a great day. Sunday we drove to Boise, which is 2 hours away, to check out a Jeep that I found on Craigslist. We have been a one vehicle family for almost 2 years. Luke has been walking to and from work in the rain, snow or whatever other kind of weather we had. We really needed to get a second vehicle. Well we went to Boise and test drove the Jeep and Luke was in LOVE! I had already planned on being in Boise on Tuesday for a shopping trip, so when I went over there I picked it up! Luke was sooo excited, he kept calling me to see if I was on my way home yet.

This last weekend we went camping with the Family. Remington got to go early with Paw and Gee Gee. He went up on Thursday night. Luke and I went up on Friday after we got off work. We took the new Jeep of course! Loaded it up and drove over Marble Creek Pass. I had a ton of fun. We got to camp and hung out. The Next day we all went for a 4 wheel/Jeep ride. It was a great time. Then just hanging around the camp fire that night we told stories, and Laughed a LOT!

Great couple of weekends. The summer is starting to come to a close. I hope to have another couple of Great weekends before the summer is over.

...And Counting

We are currently "trying" to add to the population of "Our Town." In this post I am going to be pretty darn honest about this subject because I really need to vent a little bit. With Remington, Luke and I didn't really "try". I got off birth control in May because I wanted a break, and I was on the patch and had started to hear some things about the patch having a higher rate for blood clots. Blood clots run in my family so I thought maybe I would eventually try a different type of birth control when I decided to get back on. Well, obviously, I didn't get back on because I got pregnant with Remington in Sept. Luke and I weren't "trying" but we weren't "Not Trying" either. We were like if it happens, it happens. We are soooo thankful it happened! Anyway, "trying" is completely different from, just letting it happen. I am soooo sick of trying! The sad thing is we haven't been trying that long! The emotional roller coaster I have been putting myself through is ridiculous. Every month since I got off birth control I have been amping myself for being pregnant, but at the same time discouraging myself from getting my hopes up. How does that work? It doesn't! So, every month since I got off birth control and haven't been pregnant, I am completely ruined and disappointed. Not to mention depressed and frustrated. I hear every one telling me " Don't try so hard" or " Just don't worry about it, it will happen when it happens." Well, answer me this anyone who has ever tried for a baby, How do stop trying when you know you are trying? I mean, I have been slacking on tracking when I am ovulating, and not planning our baby making rendezvous', but how do you put the idea out of mind and not, secretly under all the smoke and mirrors, know that you are trying and might be pregnant?

Each month, as soon as I know that I have probably ovulated and it could possible be the month that I conceive a beautiful baby, I immediately can't fall to sleep at night and am constantly wondering "IF". I lay in bed for at least 45mins praying over and over "Lord, you know the desires of my heart, please help me conceive a baby to add to our family." I tell myself to stop worrying about it, but I still do.

So, here I am. Still "trying" but trying not to "try". I know it will all work out. God has his own perfect timing for everything. There is a beautiful miracle waiting to bless this family and I can't wait to meet it! It's definitely time to add to Bensonville, don't you agree!
