August Amari: July 2015

Someone decided to play Picasso during nap time....my response: "great art work buddy but do we draw on furniture?" "No, no" he said shaking his finger...Amari Ari following in his brothers footsteps ‪#‎amarimoment‬ ‪#‎furniture‬‪#‎artist‬ ‪#‎havetosayitdidputasmileonmyface‬

First time taking a bath in this huge tub since we moved in four months ago...I feel like I deserve this bit of luxury after pulling my hamstring and taking care of two super sick kiddos all day ‪#‎itsthesimplethings‬ ‪#‎bubblebath‬ ‪#‎relax‬‪#‎unwind‬ ‪#‎metime‬ ‪#‎lifeofamom‬

Not a fun weekend: both kids sick; Amari came down with pneumonia and had to be on antibiotics and get his very first shot in his bum :(.

Amari has been a nightmare with sleeping in his room lately...this was the only way it was going down today. It worked! Although Beckahm woke up and said "I hate sleeping in here...I'm never taking a nap again" and then he was happy the rest of the day 😏 ‪#‎brothers‬ ‪#‎naptime‬ ‪#‎zzzzz‬ ‪#‎sleepinggiants‬

Some days you just need to take a bow...this was by far my busiest, most exhausting week piled on top of a weekend entailing a kid sick with pneumonia, husbandless all week, early Ward council, a talk in sacrament, sharing time lesson, primary duties, finding subs last minute, feeding the missionaries...it's over, take a bow, take a bow ‪#‎barelymadeit‬ ‪#‎exhausted‬‪#‎busycrazyweek‬ ‪#‎sundaybest‬ ‪#‎takeabow‬

They put themselves in their own time out :)

Watching videos to strengthen my hamstring made me think "I wonder if I can take a selfie on one leg..." It's a lot harder than it seems. I'm happy to report that my injured hamstring didn't keep me out of the gym today...man it's good to be back ‪#‎gymtime‬ ‪#‎hamstring‬ ‪#‎injurysquashed‬ ‪#‎workout‬ ‪#‎feelgood‬‪#‎mentalcleansing‬ ‪#‎ilovefitness‬

I'm kinda liking the 4:00 vibe...I love being surrounded by people motivated to stay mentally and physically fit 👏🏼👏🏼😊😊 ‪#‎youonlyhaveonebody‬ ‪#‎gymlife‬‪#‎makesmehappy‬ ‪#‎fitforlife‬ ‪#‎motivation‬ ‪#‎workout‬ ‪#‎mentalcleansing‬ ‪#‎physical‬‪#‎health‬

I love that he puts his Articles of Faith on his door :)

I'm attempting canned salsa...half hour in...I'm wishing I never attempted it ‪#‎canning‬ ‪#‎notmything‬ ‪#‎idratherbeeatingsalsa‬ (it did turn out pretty amazing though)

11:13pm....finally done with my damn salsa ‪#‎canning‬ ‪#‎notmything‬‪#‎thissalsabetterbegood‬

Batman served "marshmallow cereal" for breakfast this morning....Becks response so flippin funny: "why are you dressed up like batman?" It's lost its appeal at 4 years old ‪#‎illtakebatmanforbreakfastanyday‬ ‪#‎moncur‬ ‪#‎Saturday‬‪#‎tradition‬ ‪#‎batman‬ ‪#‎superhero‬ ‪#‎savingonebreakfastatatime‬

Amari hates batman...haha these are the moments you live for as a parent ‪#‎amariari‬ ‪#‎batmanhater‬ ‪#‎sofunny‬ ‪#‎thisiswhyilovemike‬

I think I may just take a ton of pics in this spot :)

Goodnight Bham!

My favorite time of day: checking in on my littles to see how/where they feel asleep

A shout out to this hunk of a man. Everything Becks, Amari and I have (shelter, food, clothes, and all the extras) is because of him and his hard work and dedication in providing us a life full of security and happiness. This is a big competition week for him and the top 10 sales reps (going against the rest of the company). Even though he's away all week and we are going to miss him we send him love and luck...go kill it babes, you've got this!!! @yesmikego 😘😘‪#‎superstar‬ ‪#‎hubby‬ ‪#‎gratitude‬ ‪#‎hardwork‬ ‪#‎dedication‬ ‪#‎alder‬ ‪#‎compweek‬‪#‎doortodoorsalesman‬ ‪#‎savingonefamilyatatime‬
