Father's Day

With intense morning sickness and nausea, it was all I could do to prepare a yummy breakfast and dinner for Jared this year. Homemade cinnamon rolls, fruit salad, smoothie. Later his favorite chipotle/bacon meatloaf, rolls, veggies and cake. Austin and Isaac were doing a sleepover with Gpa Lowe and so they weren't there for the breakfast. We love you Jared and I can't think of another person I would want to share parenthood or eternity with!  (The next weekend we did a staycation in Scottsdale doing some fun shopping, watching a late World War Z movie, eating out and relaxing by the pool with NO KIDS).

Whole 30 Detox

After 30 days of now sugar, grains, dairy, beans or processed foods, I dropped 6 lbs, toned up and felt great. Had to take a few pics of the results in my face and arms. Then...I got pregnant...and it has all been downhill from there. I have food aversions to everything I ate on the detox! Go figure!

Abu's visit

Abu is back from Argentina! She will be here more long term, buying a car and hoping to travel back and forth to Utah. She is always so helpful with the household duties, sewing projects, babysitting and sharing whatever she has. We love her.

Bishopric

Jared is now in the Surprise 2nd Ward bishopric. It came as a surprise this last week when the stake President counselor came by and extended the calling. I am proud of Jared for this opportunity to serve more people and show some leadership in the ward. He has been working hard on his own personal testimony and faith, attending the temple and fasting weekly for over a year now.  I love him.
