time is my enemy

before i had kids i would go through life like, mehhhh i want high school to be over. mehhhhhh i'm so done with school, when will i be done with college?!

but ever since i got married, life just seems to shoot on by and having kids just seemed to make life shoot by even faster.

brett and i are going on 6 years of marriage this year and we have a 3 year old and a 3 month old!

while i never want to repeat high school, i do wish i could go back to everton's baby moments, i barely remember them anymore, and it's from past blog posts and pictures that the memories start coming back to me. 

so now that i have another baby i try so hard to cherish the times i have with my baby girl.

but it's so hard to do that cuz life is so crazy!

anywhos, time goes on whether we want it to or not.

everton and i just celebrated our birthday 2 weekends ago.

and we celebrated at chuck e. cheese!
(much to brett's dismay)

we went to the one in sandy but they didn't have a ball pit!

does anyone know where in utah a chuck e. cheese have one?

but we enjoyed cardboard cheese pizza and their variety of arcade games instead.

forget yearly family photog sessions.  i think we'll just get our portraits done here.

the top pic was from 2007 when we went to chuck e. cheese on a whim.

oh, how we've changed and i'm glad i don't dress like rainbow brite anymore.

i can't believe my baby boy is 3 now and i'm 26!

just some fun birthday facts about mr. E

he's obsessed with the justice league and the avengers (that's my boy)

his fav foods are chicken nuggets and strawberries.

he is currently 37.5 in. and weighs 32 lbs.

he still gives the best kisses and is still a good helper when it comes to charlotte.

we are also attempting to potty train him!  so far it hasn't been too bad, we've had minor accidents and more successes making it to the potty.  thank freaking goodness.  changing his diapers is becoming unnecessary and excessively stinky.

charlotte is the one that's allowed in diapers now.

so as of my last post everton's been to preschool twice now!

here's how his first day went.

i solemnly got him ready that morning and made sure he was nice and fed before he left. 

we saw the bus coming and i tearfully took his hand and we walked out to the bus together.

the bus comes pretty much right to our door so that's really awesome.

he was really apprehensive about getting on.

the bus helper lady allowed me to come on the bus so that everton would know it was ok.

she strapped him in and motioned for me to sit next to him.

that SLAUGHTERED me.  i bawled and bawled which made him bawl as well.  totally my fault for freaking him out.  i gave him a teary kiss and a hug goodbye and left.

i went over to jill's for a second for much needed hugs and comfort then i went home where i ate whatever i wanted, watched whatever i wanted, shnuggled charlotte, worked out, and what?  i even got to take a shower while charlotte napped.

i could totally get used to this.

everton's awesome teacher would text me pics as to how everton is doing and stuff.

i'm so grateful that he has this opportunity to go to school and am glad i'm used to that fact now. as much as he drives me nuts sometimes at home, I totally miss him when he's gone.

and today, once he got home he opened his backpack to show me his baggied aquarium thing they made.

love my schoolboy.
