In a lot of my mommy conversations lately I have referred to this phase of motherhood as being “in the trenches.” So when I scrolled past this song, it hit me hard.

I was asked if I have postpartum depression and what that feels like for me. I said I think I do. Maybe I don’t. Idk. I just feel off. Like I just can’t get a hang of things. Like I can’t find my groove/rhythm with the kids this time. Which is usually really easy for me cuz my parenting is pretty lax and I’m just chillin for the most part lol

Maybe it’s the back to back babies, this new bigga body lol or a combination of the two. I see moms with more kids do more with back to back kids and think wow. Goals. But I know I can do it. I have the best most helpful partner @kava_leka who is super hands on and loves me & kids who also love and are patient with me. Especially when I am short and tired with them. Which is all the time.

Anyways, I am beyond blessed. So like the song, I really do just need to slow down. I really am doing fine. I really can’t do everything and right now and that’s fine. I only get them this young for a short time and I am going to miss this. I’m quite dramatic and already miss it! Lol They might give me Hell when they’re teenagers, so let me enjoy them and soak it all up now. So no more saying “in the trenches” for me. These have been and are going to be “the best years.”

3rd Annual Friends Trip was a hit!

9 families. 32 kids. Lots of swimming, games, competitions, exploring St. George, and our own version of “Million Dollar Secret.”

Such a blast making memories with some of our favorite people. Somehow it gets better every year.

Can’t wait for Year 4!

Grateful for friends who make service part of the vacation itinerary and give our kids opportunities to learn what serving others looks like.

The kids made handwritten letters and drawings, then we spent some time singing and visiting with residents at a local senior living community.

A pretty special way to spend an afternoon together.

Chayce is the most “selfish” dad. He never wants to share his kids. Doesn’t care if his parents want them in UT. Or if my family wants them in Alaska. If there’s a wedding, funeral, or graduation out of town and he can’t come, his answer is always no. So know if you see my kids and I without Chayce just know it was 100% against his will. And he is definitely having the worst time of his life. 🤣🤣

But that’s what makes him the best daddy. He loves & adores his kids. Everything they do is amazing to him. They may cry when daddy says they can’t go…and that’s cuz daddy’s sad when mom says they can. I’m just this super hot lady that follows them around. The only time he’s okay to be away from them is to go on a date with the hot lady. 💀💀

Grateful to have a teti that is just as obsessed, (if not MORE) with our kids as I am. He makes my role as a mom WAY easier. And provides in every way we need.

Happy Father’s Day to the best most obsessed dad. Glad I went half on 3 (almost to 4!) kids with you boo.

Song choice specifically bc of pic #2
