New favorite

Kade and I love to find a really good tv show/ movie together. It's kinda of our thing. He has microwave popcorn, I air pop mine we curl up in the couch and watch! 

We also really only watch history related TV shows; some of our favorites are.....

Copper
Call of the Midwife ( Hayley) 
Hell on wheels( mostly Kade)
Merlin 
Turn 

But our favorite right now is BBC's  the Muskateers. We are only in season one but it is so good! Each episode is an hour long. We really enjoy the new twists! 


Yep, it's spelled wrong in the search bar:) 

Anyways! If you like history related it's really good! 

Separately we watch very different shows. I like intrigue, investigation, something a solid story line and Kade likes cars, history, and instructional videos.

Car seat and Stroller!

I feel like a little kid on Christmas! The stroller and Car seat came today! It was the perfect rainy evening activity to put it all together! 

It came in so many pieces. I was impressed with the packaging.



During the process, Audrey was trying to sort out everything. I was putting on the front tray and looked up to find this.... Clearly she is not sure how to use this new contraption! Hahaha it was hilarious. 


Once it was all put together she didn't even try to sit in it. She just hung out in the basket for a half an hour or so. 

So excited for Baby to come! I know I have 9 weeks left but, I hope they go quickly! I can't wait to meet him!

Sunday's

Since we have been married, all whopping 3 years, our church times have been at 1pm or 9am and it's ALWAYS been backwards. Meaning that we go Elder's Quorum/Relief Society first, Sunday School second, and Sacrament last. Honestly, it is not our favorite. By the time we get to sacrament our focus is a little fuzzy.

Right now we are back at 1pm.

So we have this rhythm, we "sleep in" haha until 9. Then Audrey is allowed in and she loves it. She gets all cuddled up and snuggled in. I usually read a book for a bit with Audrey on my lap, then we get up and make breakfast. Sometimes we clean house, other times we go back to what we were doing before breakfast. This morning, I organized all the baby items. We get ready to go to church... and poof the day is over by the time we get home!



I do love that our Sunday's are just us! I am sure things will change when baby comes, but for right now, I love the snuggles with the cat and Kade. It's so simple and not much happens, but that is my favorite part.

This morning Kade let Audrey in early and she jumped me.. poor thing I was still asleep... and she scared me and I whacked her pretty good. She sill came back and cuddle up for the morning.

It is a strange thought to think our lives will be changing so drastically soon. I sure hope baby loves to cuddle and sleep in the late morning. I also hope Audrey doesn't mind giving up her spot for a new one!

Sunday's are usually my favorite days to cook,,, because I can put a lot of effort into it. But, with church so late it makes it hard. So I have been trying my hand at baking deserts again. So last week I made German Chocolate Sheet Cake ( Kade's favorite) .... it turned out pretty well. I could have cooked the frosting a bit longer, but hey there is always next time and it turned out super yummy! This week Kade made brownies. Woot, woot. No effort on my part!



We settle down with our desert and catch up on TV and then head to bed. Not super exciting but it's really the only routine thing we do during the week!


Journal~ For Real!

I was watching  Call of a Midwife on Netflix the other day and in the last episode, in the last scene, she said something that really struck me. 

Goofy I know, but she says, "for what is joy if it isn't recorded?" 

I have been thinking about that a lot lately. I am straight TERRIBLE, at keeping a diary or journal. This blog is as close as I get. There are so many great reasons to keep them. Honestly, I am not opposed to keeping them. I am simply bad at it. 

So I have been brainstorming ways to be better at it... especially with baby coming. I have been trying to leave my phone out of the equation more and more lately( and succeeding) , but let's be honest, they are always with us. So I re-downloaded the blog app to my phone. Hence, there will be a lot more posts from me these days. 

I want to be better at recording our lives. I love this life we have and want my kids to know the details.  I am hoping putting this here will hold me to it. 


Wish me luck!
