our favorite part of the day walking main street to the candy shop. Holland singing in her ice cream cone she was holding with her little water proof, duct tape glove was my favorite.

The waterfalls! It took me all weekend to muster up the courage to go down the three falls. Adrenaline was at a all time high, but we did it! I almost lost it when Hudson fell out of his single tube but he did so great and swam to shore as we were yards behind him.

Hiking The Y

Not only did we hike the Y for our first time but we carried 3 children up the entire hike. Thank heavens the sky was brilliant and the view was breathtaking. Dallin and I both carried the babies in packs and alternated carrying Holland in our arms or on our backs. Defiantly a night to remember!

On Saturday we got and tried something new, a paddle board! It was so fun! Across the Tibble Fork Lake was a rope swing. We also loved the swimming dock too.

Holland was a champ! Before we went paddle boarding we covered her stitches with new fresh guaze, covered with the thumb of a rubber glove and covered and sealed with waterproof tape. It was a perfect day.

Real Life

Monday- dryer breaks

Tuesday – new dyer get delivered old dryer leaves

Wednesday (4th of July) – Dallin!!! All our red white and blue clothes were in the old dryer (I obviously never separate our clothes) and that dryer is GONE !!!! -literally left the load of laundry in the dryer and they took it.

Which ends us up here, at Target, on a holiday.

I just run in as all the kids are (supposed) to be with Dallin. I am in the dressing room when I hear the 3 letter word “MOM”

“Mom we all have to wee.” OMG I am seriously half naked. I bring them in my dressing room strap diapers on my barefoot, topless children.

My husband text me “hows it going in there?” and this is the pic I sent lol.

I never intended to ever share this publicly bc I think complainers are annoying AF!!!!

I am sharing this bc its moments like this that I have to smile bc this is my life and bc there really is nothing I can do about it.

If there is one thing I have learned in life is that parenting when your are severely outnumbered is unpredictable. Heck Ive been in the ER 3 times this week in 5 days. Stitches, toxic spider bites, etc.

One day I’d love to write a book on my parenting style.  I’d call it PULSELESS PARENTING. Maybe one day I will. I use to react to lifes bumps in the road and now through the years I’ve learned to just go with it.

Macklemore says it best in DownTown

Neighbors yelling at me like, you need to slow down
Going thirty-eight, Dan, chill the freak out
Mow your dang lawn and sit the heck down

*I am Dan in the song lol

Our motto in our home is COF (change of focus) – so any and all reminders to just chill the freak out and to not overreact we gravitate too.
