The Boy Goes to the Zoo













I recently experienced a rather unfortunate mother moment... Caiden has very loud toots. He sounds like a grown adult, and he obviously isn't embarrassed by it. I'm not sure he even knows that he's doing it. Miles and I always get nervous that he'll let one go when they're passing the sacrament at church and everything is quite and people will think it's one of us. In June we took Caiden for his first trip to the Beardsley Zoo. I had Caiden strapped in the baby bjorn and he was starting to get restless, so I walked away from the rest of our little group. As I was walking he let one rip, and it was loud. A little boy was behind us and said loudly in my face "ew lady" and gave me the worst look. I said "it was my baby, I swear" and truthfully it was! (I would not be telling the story otherwise). He just laughed at me and started telling his friend about that lady that tooted. Great. Other than that, the zoo was perfect! What is it about peacock's that is so mesmerizing? I had never seen one spread it's feather's like that! Oh, and can you tell we had fun measuring our wingspan?

1,095 of the GREATEST days.




Today is day 1,095 of the greatest three years of my life. I have never made a better decision in my life than marrying my very best friend. Miles- you are my everything. Thank you for loving me, supporting me, taking the morning shift with Caiden, working so hard to support our family, always making me smile and laugh, cuddling me to sleep at night, for doing the laundry, for always cheering me on and encouraging me, and for giving me the greatest gifts in the world: your love, your friendship, our beautiful son, and the greatest three years of my life. I love you.
