Oh man. I love Sundays. I always wake up a tiny bit happier on Sundays.
This week has been amazing.
Landon
Was able to be with us most of the week. This month of research has been fantastic. And he's done a ton of work, but on his own time. He's been working on his personal statement and filling out his application. It blows my mind that in 15 short days we are submitting our applications. He volunteered at the Student Outreach Clinic. He loved it. It's clinics like these that made him want to pursue medicine!
Tyler:
Is napping like a champ now. He took a three hour nap this week. What??? I just love this happy happy mommys boy. He melts my heart. He has definitely pushed me these 3.5 months, but I appreciate the growth.
Jaxson:
Okay okay he truly is a three year old. Don't get me wrong, he has moments where it takes everything in me not to yell. Not even at him, he's just so full of energy and talks/moves non stop that I want to yell from tiredness:). But he is seriously amazing. The ability he has to perceive how to act in a given situation is amazing. He's wise and mature and smart. He's cautious and loving and loyal. He's obedient and kind and good.

I really did have a great week. And I should of. Landon was around so much to help. I made pies with friends on Wednesday. Went to mutual. Went to the temple. Went on a wonderful date with Landon (our first since Ty was born). Went visiting teaching. Played with my three boys. It was good. And even with all of its goodness, I did have a moment.
Ty loves me. And I love him. And because of his love for me, he likes to be with me a lot. And this week, when he was screaming, and jax was chatting up a storm and the house was a disaster, and I was stressed about finances.... I almost lost it. So instead of throwing my own personal tantrum in front of my family,(which I do sometimes :/.) I told Landon I was taking a break(luckily he was home). Something I've rarely, if ever done in our six years of marriage. I went and sat in the Lexus (thanks Johnny and Marie for letting us borrow the car). I was only there for 23 minutes. I prayed, listened to music, called my mom. I just didn't want to face everything. When I came inside the house was still a disaster and jax was still kicking the ball and chatting up a storm and we had, in those 23 minutes, gone into more debt just on interest(<---dramatic statement, but technically true :)!). Landon was rocking Ty though and he wasn't crying. Win! Those 23 minutes were so good for me. I just needed that. I recognized in myself that I was about to lose it so I took a break. It took me six full years to learn that it's okay, every once in a while, to hide in your Lexus for 23 minutes. It does serious wonders to your soul. ;)! Oh and ps, this recipe only works if you have Lexus! Bahahaha!! Just kidding, any car, bike, wagon, or feet will do:).
