Fun Times in Layton. . .

Roman & I were able to hang out in Layton with my friend Kristin & her son Jaxson for a couple days last week. We wanted to enjoy what is left of summer so we spent as much time outside as we could. We stopped by the Sno shack to cool off a couple times too.:)

Jensen's Nature Park

We fed the duck's a whole loaf of bread and watched them fight over it. It was so dang hot & humid that day Roman's cheeks were red. This is even after he drank a whole sippy of water.

P.S. Roman is walking now! It's so dang cute. He still loses his balance on occasion but he's doing really well. Now to teach him how to walk with shoes on.:)

Cherry Hill

Cherry Hill is a water park in Kaysville. Kristin & Jaxson have a season pass so we got a discount. Bonus!

Jaxson is quite the little swimmer and was showing Roman how to put your head under water. Roman didn't quite catch on.:)

We floated around the lazy river and let the kids play in Pirate Cove for a couple hours. I even took Roman down the little kid slide. What a good mom I am.:).......cause I looked like a dork.

We have had such a great summer!

I refuse to admit that it's coming to an end. I will wear sandals until it snows!

Thanks Kristin, Jarom & Jaxson for being such great hosts & friends! We love you guys!

While Roman's with His Dad. . . .

I try to keep myself busy, busy, busy. . . . .

which is a hard thing to do when you're used to caring for & chasing around a one year old all day. It's like my purpose for existing is gone and I'm desperately trying fill the void. If I were at home I could clean the house and get tons of stuff done but I'm typically in Northern Utah staying at a friends or in a motel.

I have some great friends though....let me tell you! They do a good job of keeping me entertained and lifting my spirits. Special thanks to Kristin, Mindy & Chelsea- - My Girls!!

I think most moms would be jealous of my every-other-weekends of shopping, eating out, laying out by the pool, movie watching. . . .etc. and now that I'm writing it I'm thinking to myself "Ha! You're actually complaining about this?" Eventually this girl (me) is going to have a job and I won't have so much freedom so I need to just shut up and enjoy it!

Well my last "mommy weekend" was fabulous and I did everything listed above.

Dinner & Shopping at Gateway with the "First Wives Club" (excluding Mindy......she's still happily married......lucky girl)

Tana, Chelsea, Jack, Me, Mindy & half of Adelade :)

A little swimming at Murray Pool

Don't forget Sponge Bob!

Gotta wear shades. . . .

Thanks girlies for keeping me occupied while Roman's visiting his dad. Love ya!

One Year Pics!!

I had Noelle take Roman's one year pictures last week and they turned out so cute! Once again she did a great job!! My baby has the bluest eyes ever and I don't know where they came from. He's going to be a ladies man for sure.:)

Here are some of my favorites--

What a little stud! :)
