July...

The day at the zoo!


The girls on a scenic walk by our house

These are the "triplets" all born within a month of each other (Deklan and Landon(Jared's boy) within 5 days of each other!!! L->R Deklan Price, Kingston Brewer, Landon Brewer :)

Luckily this month seems to be going by a bit faster than last... Maybe because I am getting a little more sleep so its more bearable ;) Deklan is finally starting to sleep about 6-7 hours through the night- the price paid is a struggle-some 4 hours (6pm-10p) of him being awake right before bed (his choosing of course!) But he doesn't like to sit and chill like the girls did at that age, (probably because he fears for his life from his sisters if they find him!) he always wants to be held, fed, rocked- something. So that makes it difficult cuz its right in the middle of my getting dinner ready and the girls ready for bed. But- as long as I can plan ahead- usually things work fine so it is worth it!

For the 4th we didn't do too much- a barbecue would have been awesome but oh well, its hard with 3 lil ones and crankiness and sleep. Although, I have discovered if I give Aubrilynn a nap during the day, she will not fall asleep til 9:30- 10pm--- and still wake up by 7:30!!! So, for the 24th, if we can find any 'sky' fireworks- she will be there. She is soo excited and loved watching them outside our house, which luckily has an awesome, open view of them! She was scared of the noisy ones and street ones- which was kinda odd. Kaysia was ok with street ones, she wanted to sleep instead of watch sky ones. Anyway- not too exciting but we loved it!

Next week we finally get to move! We found a place- oddly enough its next door to one of my brothers! Its a house and has a nice lil back yard!!! Yay! Year lease, so it looks like we're not leaving Utah any time soon. But I must say, I agree with Mark this time around- going to church here in Utah is overwhelming- as opposed to everywhere else we've been. I sensed it before as I was growing up but didn't know different and just dealt with it. But NOW, seeing the 'norm' and coming back... wow... no me gusta!!! Everyone is soo preoccupied with keeping up appearances and not interested in making true genuine friendships it seems... Yes, we do our part and strike up conversation and have invited people over in every state we've been... something is just off here! And- for the first time ever- we went to our class and couldn't go because there was no room left! ~Different~ that's in our "new' ward too... Its just overwhelming and makes me want out... But, nevertheless, I am excited to move for several reasons- and like someone said, guess we just need to keep searching for the family in the ward that we can click with :)
