The Reason Laundry is NEVER Done...
He is a not just a spitter, but a puker like I have never seen before. I know his daddy held his own at this age, but holy cow! I'm not talking a little spit up here and there. I'm talking overflowing handfuls of ickyness. Using 3, sometimes 4 burp cloths per episode (I am in the process of making a ton more). It is not pretty.
I average three different outfits a day.
Kehlton is allowed three outfits a day himself. After that I give up and it's nothing but diaper.
I don't get that luxury!
Since I am "between" wardrobes, I run out of options quickly and move on to my husband's t-shirts.
Last night, David and I went through a total of 3 separate outfits in about 20 minutes. Kehlton managed to stay in the exact same outfit, totally unscathed.
It is getting better, but other than head to toe ponchos, I don't know what else to do.
Maybe I need to go shopping.

Best Day EVER!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!!!
Today it finally let up enough for us to get out and take a look around. Kehlton is obviously having the time of his life, and Brychan is mad that I stopped pushing him in order to take some photos.
This is directly across the street from us. Not the clear, blue skies we're accustomed to.I expected to see a lot more flooding in the streets this morning (we could have been boating down our streets last night without any problems). However, the only flooding I really saw was from people trying to empty their flooded swimming pools out into the street and away from their already drenched yards. By the way...Arizona streets have NO drainage systems, so you can imagine the mess we end up with.
This is the greenway at Rio Vista park (for those of you who were here for Kehlton's blessing, it is directly behind the park we went to), less than a mile from our house. It is typically bone dry. In fact, we were just playing down there last week getting ready for a scouting activity.
I was amazed at the roar of these "falls". It was so loud!! I cannot believe how much water is just gushing over. Not a sight we typically see in the desert.

New Goals
I'm not going to be specific in the amounts we have to lose (it's more than enough!), but we would much rather look like we did in the following photos than we do right now. :)
We came across this tiny little chapel somewhere in northern Arizona. Very cute and quaint!
At the Grand Canyon - where it happened to be freezing that day!
Goblin Valley in Southern Utah. In the middle of a massive sand storm.
- Working out in some way, shape or form 5 days a week. I'm not gonna lie...some days may just mean taking the boys for a walk, but at least it's something!
- Dessert one day a week, on the weekends, only. We both have massive sweet tooths.
- Less meat; more fresh fruit and veggies. Those of you who know my husband will understand why he will be getting his from V-8 (for those of you who don't know my husband, he like his veggies about as much as any 8 year old boy), and that's fine. I've already cut out 99% of red meat from my diet; I'd like to learn how to like fish though!
Seems simple enough, huh? Hopefully it works. David wanted to make it a race, but I am at a severe disadvantage: Not only am I a girl, but I'm also nursing. So I can't drastically cut calories or take the latest weight loss supplement. Plus, I have more to lose than he does. So, slow and steady wins the "race" and we will both be much happier in the end. We are counting on all of your to keep us on our toes. And feel free to join us and let us know how you're doing!!

Heaven Help Me
The baby is appearantly going through a growth spurt and feels the need to eat every single hour. You can now just call me Bessie.
All the shoes from my closet are now piled on my bed (all 30+ pairs of them) while the blankets are on the floor.
A tiny pair of glasses are missing. I pray they're not broken. Again.

Smiles
Brychan was a huge help; he's the reason Kehlton is smiling!
Our Apologies...
We really hope we didn't get everybody sick!

Kehlton's Blessing
Our little family (looking right into the sun) The family members that were able to make it. We really missed all those who were unable to come, but we greatly appreciate Grandma & Grandpa, Michelle and the Krull's for traveling so far for the blessing. And it's always nice when Ashley comes over. Jeremy and Michelle - we hope you guys are feeling better!!
Brychan and Ellie had a blast playing all weekend. Makes us sad that the rest of the cousins were unable to make AND that we live so far away from the cousins! I tried so hard to get a good photo of the two of them together but they were too fast!!

For those of you who are not on FB
I love that Kehlton is SO wide awake seeing as he was up all night long last night (meaning Mommy and Daddy were up all night too - third time in a week). He should be so exhausted and simply passed out, but no. Also explains why it's not even 8:00 yet and I'm headed to bed. Gotta catch my zzz's when I can (David is also currently fast asleep in the family room)!

Where's Brychan?
If you look really close, you can see a little boy hiding. I heard him giggling quietly as I went back to get the camera. He stayed there perfectly still and almost just as quiet until I started asking "Where's Brychan?"
