1. Your sister in law finds out what her baby is. (even if it's the day after your real birthday
2. You have brownies and ice cream rather than cake. Yes, i don't like cake.
3. You get to spend your time at church with a bunch of cute toddlers rather than teaching pre teens. (not that i don't like the kids, i just really hate teaching)
4. You get amazingly sweet chubby cheeked baby snuggles.
This year for the forth we did what we normally do and hung out with Stephens family at the parade route where they were all going to sleep out. It send like every year without exception there is a couple making out right next to us. You can see just how close they were in the picture of emery standing up in the play pen. She was a good sport. She stayed up extra late because there was just too much going on. She loved having her cousin Boston play with her and smushing her face up against the mesh. The next morning we woke up extra early and went to the parade. Emery wasn't too fazed by it and got passed around from person to person. Her cousin Beckham had fun waving at all of the floats. After the parade we went home to hey some more sleep because we had hardly any at all the night before and watched far too many episodes of "New Girl" on Netflix. I would like to pose a question, can you really watch too many episodes of New Girl? I don't think so. Before going to grandpa Richards i had a hankerin for a snow cone. We went to the snow cone shack by the chillies in orem and boy am i glad that i got a small because those were far from small. It was as big as my head, which says something cause i have a deceivingly large head. them we went to Grandpa Richards for fireworks. It is easy to say that emery LOVED them. Her eyes practically popped out her head. It was the funniest thing ever. Beckham on the offer hand just say there in awe of it all. I love those kids so much
I love the forth of July and this country. Im happy to live in thus country
Every year we wait out the night before the fourth of July parade in Provo. And every year there is a couple making out next to us. TRADITION!
like my sneaking a creepy picture of them with my baby in the foreground
Lately emery hasn't been sleeping through the night. I think that it mostly is because we have stopped swaddling her do her arms are now free to do what they want. this past week has been especially rough since she has been having some painful looking diaper rash, and maybe something else but i just can't pin point it. The point is that i am not a easy sleeper in general and am now wide awake at 1:40 am with my mind running a million miles an hour.
A lot of things have been changing for us, and it will be better for us in the long run, but for right now it is just very tough to deal with. Most of the time i try to keep my cheery disposition, but deep down i just miss my family, hate working, am so tired, and want nothing more than to be with my little girl.
I really wish that i could spin this post to be more up beat but i don't really know if i can. At least i have an amazing husband who is trying his hardest to help provide and finish school quickly so that i don't have to go through with this for much longer. I don't know what i would do without him. I also have the best mother that i could ask for, which is probably why i miss her so much. Before emery was born i could in a way ignore my feelings of missing my family so much and just live life, but now i just wish that they could see her grow and watch all of the new things that she can do.
Sorry for the sad ranting. Just thought I would get a few of my thoughts out of my mind.
