Everyday Life Lately

Lots of our everyday photos are taken with my iPhone and I am truly grateful for the snippets of daily life that are captured. Even the blurry, dark and grainy ones are a treasure because they all come together to tell our story. Many nights when I am laying in bed trying to fall asleep, I scroll through my camera roll and look through all the photos that were taken that day or the previous week. I choose my favorites and edit them right on my phone so I can later print and scrapbook the memories.

I do find that the details slip from my memory fairly quickly so I’m starting a new type of post here on my blog where I will record photos and thoughts from our Everyday Life Lately. This will help me save the words and memories to go with the photos so that when it comes time to put them into albums I will have a more complete story!

2015-03-20 18.10.052015-03-20 18.20.51Elizabeth Kate and I both got some fun new shoes… white and gold New Balance for me and glittery gold tennis shoes from Target for her! Perfect for going to watch Matthew play his basketball game on a Saturday. Also note that she is in a semi fancy lace dress (that she wears almost daily lately) and her hair in what she calls an “Elsa” braid!

Matthew started the season out strong and played super well in his first two games. In this game he hit a bunch of 3 pointers along with some layups and some free throw shots as well. He was on fire and was having so much fun out there! We love to watch him play when he is in his element like that, playing strong, getting his hustle on and having a blast! Shortly after this game he started having a lot of pain his knee when running. He took a couple weeks off from track and basketball to rest but had no improvement. We just took him to the doctor last week and found that he has Osgood Schlatter and a stress fracture in his growth plate. We are sad to see him have to sit out more this season, but also glad we caught it before it required surgery. We are hoping that with the prescribed time off, it will heal quickly and he can get back to doing the things he loves!

Saturday morning snuggles are the best! I love it when our kiddos come in early in the morning to climb in bed and cuddle! Nathan and Elizabeth have always been the best little snuggle buddies of mine so it’s no surprise that they are often the ones that come in! I love this photo of their sleepy eyes, messy hair and happy faces! I can hear her giggling just looking at it!

Henry has already been to quite a few basketball games to watch his older brothers play. He is always super chill and sits on our laps watching all of the action in front of him!

2015-03-29 15.16.31Oldest & youngest… this one melts my heart. Tyler doesn’t love to have his photo taken but he does love baby Henry and loves that he will sit in his lap and watch basketball games with him! He even asked me to capture this moment! So sweet! Tyler is sure that Henry is going to be his best little basketball buddy for many years to come!!

None of us can believe that Henry is already 4 months old!! He continues to be extremely happy, social and smiley!! He also definitely wins for most pictures taken of him right now! Just scroll through my phone and you will see 100’s! What I love the most is that about half of them are taken by the kids! It’s fun to see them wanting to grab the phone and snap away to capture every sweet little thing he does!!

Easter Sunday fell on conference weekend this year so we had our Easter program at church the week before. The church encouraged us to take photos with the “He is Here” location markers and share where we feel of our Savior’s love. After church we snapped a few pictures in front of the Gilbert temple. It makes me so happy to see this photo of my sweet little family in front of our local temple. Because of the gospel and because of our Savior I know that I can be with my family forever. There is truly nothing that brings me greater peace and joy!

Brian and I celebrated our 16 year anniversary in March and he got me this buffet for our entry as a gift. I have been wanting something similar to this for quite a while and had been keeping my eye out. The day before our anniversary I saw this at a local antique store and instantly fell in love! I texted Brian and told him I just found the entry table of my dreams haha! I was joking just a little but really kind of wanted to bring it home with me. I may have squealed a little when he replied and said Happy Anniversary!! It needed a little work so I sanded it all down and gave it a fresh coat of white paint before putting it in place!

2015-03-31 18.03.292015-03-31 13.29.10

Amanda and I have both been working hard getting ready for our upcoming Be Crafty event. My dad, Henry and I had fun browsing the aisles of Ace Hardware for what seemed like hours while the paint was mixed. Safe to say we are now experts on everything that store carries!

Emily and Elizabeth came along on one of my senior photo shoots because we are friends with the family and they wanted to “help”. Lizzy gathered rocks and sticks while Emily talked the ears off of my friend! When we were done I figured it was good timing to snap a photo of Emily since the scenery was pretty and she was in her “after school chill clothes” which translates in her world to something actually quite fancy, like this dress of course! I shared on instagram how Lizzy also wore a church dress to preschool that day paired with her gold glitter tennis shoes and how much I love their “fancy style” as Lizzy calls it! There was a day when I would have made them change so we could save the dressy clothes for a special occasion… Now I’ve come to learn that there’s no reason not to let them dress up for today… Otherwise the tomorrows add up to months and years and suddenly they will be too big to fit in the clothes we were saving for another day. So now I say embrace the today and dress fancy if you are felling it!! Life is made to celebrate…. even it if’s just a random Tuesday!

Happy Wednesday Friends!!

    One thing I’d prefer to say is that car insurance canceling is a dreaded experience and if you are doing the correct things as being a driver you may not get one. Some individuals do obtain the notice that they are officially dumped by their particular insurance company and many have to scramble to get extra insurance following a cancellation. Affordable auto insurance rates are usually hard to get after having a cancellation. Having the main reasons concerning the auto insurance termination can help owners prevent sacrificing one of the most crucial privileges readily available. Thanks for the ideas shared by means of your blog.

    Thanks for the thoughts you have provided here. Additionally, I believe there are some factors which really keep your car insurance policy premium straight down. One is, to take into account buying motors that are within the good directory of car insurance firms. Cars which can be expensive tend to be at risk of being snatched. Aside from that insurance policies are also using the value of your car, so the more costly it is, then higher your premium you only pay.

But when you are getting financing through a common financial institution then you need to be prepared to have a cosigner ready to make it easier for you.

There are some financial institutions that will additionally look at your job history and come to a decision based on that but in almost all cases it will depend on your score.
