It Works Adventure

🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️Jordan & I started dating 8 years ago in October! Our first official date was to a Haunted house so we kept up with our tradition of going every year since and tried out the @castleofchaos ! We ended up standing in the rain for 1.5 hours (notice the shiny face & hair that’s secretly drenched) but it was worth it and usually a much faster wait time I promise. Without giving away too much; I got locked up, slammed, grabbed, was actually shocked & Jordan got shoved to the ground, forced to crawl, slammed, shocked, grabbed, etc etc. BUT it was a pretty dang good time and we really enjoyed it! 🤗 I HIGHLY recommend doing Level 4, I promise you won’t regret it. 🤪 Definitely our fav so far! 🎃 - - - #halloween #castleofchaos #datenight #mybestfriend #8yearsandcounting #hauntedhouse #hauntedhouseutah #lfthx (at Castle of Chaos) https://www.instagram.com/p/B31K3BSgR58/?igshid=160i2i517e7j0

4 months of life! 💗 Little girl still sleeps through the night from about 9:30p-7:00a 😴 but she can be really fussy & needy during the day + when she wants food she wants it NOW! 🍼 She loves to suck on and bite EVERYTHING especially blankets, she is always holding her hands together and wants to grab things with both, loves to watch tv and watch her daddy or brother when they talk or play, is super smiley and chatty with strangers, can roll over from tummy to back AND back to tummy/surprisingly rolls from back to tummy more cause she’s determined to start crawling, sits up by herself for a few seconds, stands up holding onto the couch for a minute or so, screams to get attention, likes to pull off her bows ESPECIALLY when she’s trying to sleep or eat, tries to scoot herself to get to her toys but usually goes backwards instead of forwards, and loves toys that make noise. 💗 She’s an adorable lil diva! 🎀CLOTHES: OFFICIALLY size 0-3 month DIAPERS: OFFICIALLY size 1 WEIGHT: 11 lb 10 oz (11%) HEIGHT: 24.5 ” (56%) She’s definitely been a harder baby than Owen was but we still melt over those precious smiles and lil chuckles! 🥰 (at Riverton, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1zdCT9AtIe/?igshid=1fqo3dyxhwcxi

✌️2 years old OFFICIALLY and rockin his big boy haircut! 👦🏼💇‍♂️ Owen truly is his own person with his own ideas and personality and man he is so much fun. 🤗 He has been saying 4 word sentences and picks up on new things every day. 💙 He loves; fire trucks (of course), talking to and listening to “google”, trains, cars, magnets, legos, drawing, muffins, the park, reading books, riding his bike, playing in/with water, and going on walks. ✌️He definitely has his “terrible two” moments when he doesn’t listen when we say “no” or when he throws a fit cause he’s exhausted or doesn’t like something we are doing BUT he really is an all around sweet, loving, calm, funny, silly, & happy kid, who ESPECIALLY loves his little sister! 💗👶🏼We are so grateful he is still taking good 2-3 hr naps every day because when he doesn’t he is a cranky & extra klutzy boy. 😂 Our tall but skinny lil guy can still fit in some 12 & 18 month clothes but we are mainly putting him in 24 months/2T & he is reppin’ them size 4 diapers cause ain’t nobody got time to start potty training this busy dude yet! 😝😂 Man we love him with all our hearts and can’t wait to see where he is at in another year! 🥰 (at Riverton, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0nBwuxA-qz/?igshid=ue399n0knhwp

🥰 Last Sunday Cadence was blessed in the same dress I was blessed in, as well as all my sisters, and my sisters’ daughters! I am obsessed with this dress but mainly I’m obsessed with our little princess and my little family! 💗 (at Herriman, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzr2U1OAijK/?igshid=18iccn70x1e2k

Finally getting around to posting Cadence’s blessing pictures from 6/30. 🥰 Jordan gave her an amazing blessing and I guess the whole time she was just trying to get her binki back in her mouth with her tongue! 🤪 Not gonna lie my fav pic is prob the one with her and her Great Gpa Art! 😍 (at Herriman, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzr0AibggGv/?igshid=1fdkmlcfmm3xv

🌸The last two months have been so fun with this girl, she’s such a great sleeper and eater and is hardly ever fussy! Watching Owen interact with Cadence has been so fun, he truly is a great big brother and ADORES HER! We have also LOVED having Daddy home from work the whole time... I couldn’t ask for a better way to adjust from 1-2 kids and I definitely couldn’t ask for better kids or a better husband! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 (at South Jordan, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzOYFVGArEJ/?igshid=eaurb2c9jxws

👶🏼💗2 Months Old! This little girl smiles so big especially when she sees familiar faces. She also loves to chat! I’m especially obsessed with her little half smile and her pouty lip when she’s getting upset!🥰 She has started sucking on her knuckles if she can’t find her binki but she also loves grabbing her binki and (often successfully) trying to put it in her mouth. She will even hold her binki in her mouth while she’s trying to fall asleep BUT she only wants her binki when she wants it. She has also found her tongue and will play with it quite a bit. Her little voice is changing and she’s trying really hard to make different sounds! 😝 She is very strong, she does great holding her head up straight as long as she isn’t tired. She lifts it all the way off the ground when she’s on her tummy but doesn’t really like tummy time. She loves to sit up and look around at everything and she loves laying on her mat to play her little foot piano and hit her rattle toys! 👚She is still small enough to be in newborn clothes and diapers although we put her in some 0-3 month clothes too! She likes to be swaddled with her arms in now! She sleeps through the night most nights. During the day she loves daddy cuddles the most but she’ll cuddle anyone as long as she’s on their chest (head up by their neck and feet by their hips)! 👦🏼Owen is still so in love with her and even asks to hold her and wants to bring her along everywhere he goes. For the most part she seems to like him too! Let’s be honest we just all adore her! 🥰 weighs 9 lbs 8.5 oz (20%) 22 inches tall (36%) Head 14.9 in (27%) She broke my heart with how sad her shots made her but thankfully Daddy was there to comfort her! 💗 (at South Jordan, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzOGlQhgntG/?igshid=31gubo3a4rva

🎀 Sweet girl got her ears pierced today with 2 of her cousins! She cried for like 30 seconds and then was smiling, cooing, and even posing for mommy to take a pic to send to daddy! 🥰 Getting her ears done was definitely better than her shots and she really is a happy little girl! 😆 (at Piercing Pagoda) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzNCmU4gTGm/?igshid=cg12bxkhv6xc

💗 Trying to soak in all the cuddles because Cadence is growing SO FAST! I can’t believe she is 2 months old today! 🥰 (at Riverton, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzEX8Leg_GT/?igshid=15sivyrbouyo8

Daddy Day! 💁🏼‍♂️ Nothing more attractive than an amazing man becoming a daddy and realizing SOMEHOW you love them more! 💙 I know I’m a few days late but life has been busy (in a good way) and family time comes before posting of course 😝 BUT I can’t miss an opportunity to brag about my amazing husband and father to our littles! He reads a book to the kids every night, he puts them to bed, he helps cook dinner, he helps clean, he helps change diapers, he plays with the kids and loves on them! More importantly he does all that because he wants to not because he is asked to (most the time at least)! 🤪 I know that nobody is perfect and I’m not saying he is BUT I truly feel like he has all the amazing loving qualities anyone would want for a husband and father! I love my man and I’m grateful our kids will always know they have a dad that will be there for them! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 (at Riverton, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/By4R87ngSQc/?igshid=168ift98n7kpg

Happy Birthday Caden! 💜💟 Today we celebrate my handsome brothers birth and the amazing life he led while he was here! We miss him so much and wish we could celebrate his special day with him out rock climbing or something! This is the first time we’ve taken Cadence since she was born and I just wish she could personally get to know her Uncle on this earth! She’ll definitely grow up knowing she was named after one of the most rad dudes though! Something tells me she’s actually seen him more recently than we have!

Ellyse is staying with us this week and we spent our first day playing with pillows and out at the park! 💗 Ellyse conquered her fear of sliding down the fire pole AND the monkey bars today and they ended up being her favorite things PLUS she tied her shoes all by herself! She is a rockstar! 🤗 Also, safe to say Owen is LOVING having his aunt stay over! 🤪 (at Herriman, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byb8VK1gFkz/?igshid=ukk8v18yq9m1

🥰 6 weeks after welcoming Cadence via C-section and I’m finally starting to enjoy cuddling her! How sad is it that I hardly ever wanted to cuddle my sweet girl before because it was too uncomfortable, least favorite part of a C-section recovery hands down! The extent of our cuddling was mostly while she was nursing🤱🏼 There is just something special about a sleeping baby in your arms that I wanted so badly and finally get to enjoy! 💙 She’s currently sleeping in my arms while Owen is playing/making a mess but I love watching him learn every day and how his imagination continues to grow! 👦🏼🧠 Today’s a great day and I’m feeling super lucky!

The whole time I was pregnant with Cadence I craved this! 🧗‍♀️It felt good to get back on the rocks again but I have a lot of work to do if I wanna get back to where I was! On another note I have the best friend in the world and freaking love her! @leesagus 🥰 (at Momentum Indoor Climbing Sandy) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByXIC6ZAWj5/?igshid=lxcjaa2wl09b
