Oh Yes, Hawaii

After seeing my doctor a few weeks ago she suggested that we keep Esther in the home for 2 months. For so many reasons. So to avoid cabin fever, I've been exercising at night while Mark stays home with the girls. Exercising has seriously kept my sanity. Now that we have two keiki's I feel the need to simplify my life even more. Which means the house chores can be put off when we get the chance. If I'm not able to attend something, I won't. And I decided I'm not going to beat myself up for it because I said "No thank you". I've always been a Yes person. Now I'm learning how to say no and I don't even feel guilty. I strongly feel that my first calling is a wife and then a mother. So with those two callings at this moment in my life, I got my hands full. When things start to settle and I get the hang of things, the word Yes will enter in my vocabulary once again. I just don't think young mothers should feel guilty for having the desire to magnify there first two callings. Anyhow, I realize some people may feel different and that's okay. You should do what you feel is right. Alright, I wasn't planning on talking about that, moving on. We are going to Hawaii in a month for a week. I'm so pumped! I can't wait to see Eve play in the water. That's all I think about these days. Along with seeing my loved ones. You can guarantee I'm going to soak up the sun.

May Goals:
1. Attend the temple at least once
2. Finish at least one book

About 3 weeks ago it snowed. I took Eve outside to play in it and make a snow man. This time around she didn't cry the whole time, just half of the time. She was so funny to observe. My mother stayed in the house and watched Esther so I could spend quality time with Eve.

Esther hasn't had a bowel movement in about a week, but she has been having stinky gas.

Eve has her cute moments with her sister. Moments mind you, other times it's hitting and running away.

Oh, I'm in love with my family!
