the past little while....

1) Trent and I actually got on a date....yes a date. It was spontaneous and exciting and well so much fun. We got Mekensie Bush from our ward, the girls new fav sitter and took off to Mesquite. We went to eat at the new Italian restaurant there. I was blown away by the amazing food, look, and service. Trent and I sat at a small table, I kinda felt like I was in a movie. Stepping up out to eating in Mesquite for sure. Then we ran to Walmart and parked in a parking lot and well, I wish I could say made out...maybe in the old days. But, we got an icecream and laughed at people walking by. We do however miss parking on BYU campus in Provo and being fully entertained by the students walking around there. Best. Entertainment. Ever!! Sometimes we miss Provo, not really as much as we thought we would. lol. We just know that we are really home now.
2) Trent send in his fourwheeler carb. got lost in the mail. Someone from the place he sent it too called him and took pics of the box. At first he thought someone stole it, but came to the conclusion that it fell out of a ripped box. N-E ways he was pretty bummed and had to order a new one. Shucks....
3) I am now addicted to Downton Abbey oh my gosh. What a show....minus a few parts in 2 episodes they could have easily left out, should have left out. I watched 3 seasons in 2 weeks.  I know it is shameful but I had to see all of them and get it out of my system and well, move on with my life. Until next season that is. lol.
4) Trent and I ordered us some new sofas.....OH BOY, never in my life did I think this day would come. We put our tax return to good use this year. Black, leather couched who have never been sat on anyone before are arriving new in their boxes tomorrow at our house. Happy freakin day!! We got them through one of Pilates friend's hubby. He sells furniture, he knows a lot and well, he got us an amazing deal. Goodbye crappy feather couch I have hated for a long long time now. Since we got it really. So much fluffing, having to de-feather the cushions. Having to vacuum you out no more. Onto new and better things:)
5) I got a steam cleaner for my carpet off of Amazon. Worth every penny that one. It has changed the look of my carpets in one day. You see we have light carpets and well they get really dirty, and now they are not so dirty.
6) Lyla has become a little more interested in potty training but, she still has only gone potty once at least the pullups will make her sit on the toilet. progress slowly, but surely.
7) Evelyn has been very busy and also gets bored easily. She loves primary and the songs, ballet/tap class, and preschool. I love her thirst for life in general. How can she be going to kindergarten next year......makes me sad/happy.
8) I was once again sick this week. I know nothing new. This week I got the flu....but managed to keep myself from not throwing up from taking some natural drops called stomach comfort and I love that stuff.
9) Feb. has been a tough month...I have to bring it up once again. The 3rd baby not being here. The song that I listen to that gets me through it is: Katherine Nelson -What's Mine Is Yours, it really speaks to me. Anyone who has had a miscarriage or lost a child needs to hear it. I can on the bright side look at how much I have accomplished in other aspects of my life. Such as really grown as a photographer and getting my name more out there. And building up my Pilates class to where I have always wanted it to be. Really getting close with my two girls and being able to give a lot of attention to them. I feel Evelyn got a little jipped because I have had lots of time with Lyla as the baby.
10) The decorations in my house are blah blah blah. And I am sick sick sick of them. I have lots of new plans for my family/living/kitchen room. My lovely sister Kylee is going to help me decorate. Hooray.

**I have been horrible with posting photos. I usually just do Instagram and post to facebook. So lame of me, being a photographer and all. So here are a few.
