Viva Las Vegas!

So, Friday afternoon we started our vaca to Vegas! Thank goodness I was feeling better!

Olyver was a complete angel the whole drive down. He is such an easy baby!
He had horrible allergies and was still so happy and easy going!
We got in a little late and went and saw Debbie and the house Cody was getting married in..
Talk about huge and beautiful!
We took a late night swim, and Olyver didnt want to get out. I would stand him up and he just kept sitting
right back down!

Saturday we woke up and went swimming for 3 or so hours. It was burning hot outside and we loooved it!
Olyver is such a little fishy! While everyone else was complaining the water was cold, he was splashing and
having a blast! After that he took a looong nap and we got ready, and went to the wedding.
Olyver was seriously the cutest thing alive. He is so handsome. I kept getting tears looking at him all night long!

The wedding was so beautiful and so much fun. I loved seeing my cousins and seeing Cody so happy.
I have the best family. Everyone says that.. But seriously. We have so much fun together.
We genuinely love each other with all of our hearts. I'm so lucky, and I'm so lucky Olyver has a whole group of fans. Everyone loves him so much!

The ride home was quick, thank goodness, and Olyver was even better than the first ride. He is so damn
perfect.

He has said mama, but he still has trouble.. he calls me bob, and its hilarious.
But this morning I woke up to dadadada mamamamama!!!!!
Then later he crawled over to me stood up and hugged me and yelled mamamama in my ear.
He is getting so big. he speeds across the floor and stands up constantly. He is sooo close to walking
and thats all he wants to do. He is so smart. And so amazing.

bad night

I have always tried my hardest to only post positive and happy things on here
But I've realized no life is perfect, nor is any person. So why not share?

So much has happened to be in my short 21(almost 22) years. A lot positive, but a lot
Of bad, horrible things. I am always one to share my emotions but not about a lot of
The serious things.. I hold them in. I always thought it was easier to do so because
Then I never had to face them.

I've come to a point in my life, thanks to Olyver and Wesley, that I want to be a better person.
I want to be what they deserve. I need to be happy for me to be able to be what they need. I need to confront what's happened to me. Its exhausting. And more than anything its overwhelming.

All I want is to work through all of these things and be what my boys deserve, and be the
person I know I can be.

Wish me luck...

Momma's day!

Mothers day means so much to me.

Of course my mom comes to mind. She is an amazing woman. Always devoted to us kids and Olyver.
She loves Wesley, Jared, Karlee, and any one else she comes in contact with like they are her own. After my dad died she raised us 3 kids alone. Regardless of her heart being broken and her entire world being torn upside down, she stayed strong and did everything she possibly could for us. I have had a hard life, and no matter what the case was she was there for me through absolute everything. She took care of me when I was sick and hurting. She cried with me when I was scared. She was there when Wes and I brought Olyver into this world. She loves my sweet boy as much as I do. She makes all of us kids laugh at no end. Shes not only our sweet beautiful mother, she is our best friend.

Secondly I think of the last year. Not a day goes by that I look at Olyver and have to ask my self how?
How did I of all people get so lucky? I never thought I would be a mom, I always wanted to be but I never expected it. I definitely did not expect to be a mom to such an amazing little man. I cannot put into words how he makes me feel. I have never been so happy, in love, and proud.
Hes only 8 months old and is my role model.

1 year

Well, Wesley and I's anniversary is on sunday. We celebrated it tonight because its on mothers day and we have plans!
I had so much fun. We went to Bistro 258 I believe, in Ogden. So yummy and nice.
We laughed the whole time. After he took me to take a little hike and we sat on the mountain together.
We talked about our sweet Olyver, where we were a year ago, our future, and the most random things.

After all that he kneeled in front of me and told me how much he loved me and how he was so happy we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. And more sweet things :) I bawled like a baby.

After we went to ice cream, came home and now he's laying next to me snoring!

I can't believe he's mine. A year ago I was 5 months pregnant. Now we have a beautiful amazing 8 month old son.
He's the love of my life. He's given me everything I could ever ask for and he still continues
To give. I'm so lucky.

And so in love :)

So, I stopped doing this.. Mainly because well, I'm a working momma.
Im busy. That simple! I'm sure I wont even write a lot but oh well....

Heres a little update....

I'm working again. I work from 430 to 1 am.
Its so hard.  I get to bed at 2, Olyver wakes up around 2:30 and then again around 5. And then for good at 7, sometimes earlier.
I'm tired.

Wes works at 3 am. And gets no sleep too. And we never see each other besides the half hour after he gets off work. Its rough.

Olyver, well.. Hes just amazing.
He is walking. Yup, I have a walker.
He isn't a pro at it but he did 6 steps along today!
Right after he did that, he crawled.
I have never felt so proud in my entire life, but so sad at the same time!
My boy is growing up!

Also, this sunday, Mothers day, is Wesley and I's anniversary! One whole year!

Summary...
My life is exhausting, but wonderful :)

Date night

SOOO, last night Wes and I went on a date to Joe's Crab Shack... Mmmm.

(Thanks to Shaylee, I craved it all week!)

The night before we got online and looked at the menu

We like to plan ahead.

I saw a yummy pomegranate Pop Rocks drink.

You know pop rocks? You dump them in your mouth and get physically abused from the inside.

I was so excited.

We got there, I got it.

Well guess what? Freakin disaster.
I got physically abused all over.

I dumped them in, screamed as they popped everywhere.

Closed my eyes, and dumped the pop rocks all over the table.

Oh well! :)

It was a good night. I love date nights.

We talk about Olyver the whole time.

And always buy him souvenirs.

I love being a parent with Wesley.

And his wife!
