Hiking Provo Canyon in Spring

First off research where you are going before you hike! We tried to visitBridal Veil falls this past weekend but it is closed due to Avalanche risks. Luckily Nunn falls nearby is open and there is a river, nice paved trail, and small playground perfect for the 2-6 age range! We let the kids play and then took a short stroller friendly walk. The only difficulty was an abundance of people on skateboards so keep your little ones close by! On Sunday we went to Grotto Falls. This was a short muddy hike!! Only .5 miles 1 way but not a great Spring hike if you aren't looking to get wet or muddy! I wore white/light grey capris which got muddy! Thankfully we had hiking boots on so feet stayed dry. We saw some hiking barefoot, and many people not prepared for the terrain. I kept our 2 year old in the Ergo baby carrier the whole time. I would recommend trying Grotto falls later in the summer!

Why only 2 kids?

I had a novel thought this morning! What if 2 kids is enough! Living in Salt Lake City, Utah I get asked all the time, Why only 2 kids? What if 2 kids is all I want!

I keep thinking I might want another baby, but this morning as my 20 month old woke up whining and clingy, I thought, what is this is enough for me? I want to be the best mom I can be to these two girls. I want to give them all the love and attention they need. I also am focused on my husband and I having more time alone. Date nights regularly and soon a vacation away alone! I wonder if having another baby would be right for our relationship and our family. Thinking back to when I had my second daughter, I had a very hard time emotionally. After having three years with just one child, I was very unsure how I was going to be able to love both these little girls! I literally felt like my heart was spli

Kyler's birth Story

Getting pregnant with a 3rd baby was a big surprise for us. After having our 2 girls my husband would mention how he needed to get a Vasectomy. I slowly purged out all our basic baby equipment, but I held on to the crib and baby girl clothes. But shortly into January 2018, I was just not quite feeling like myself and decided to take a pregnancy test.  Of course, it was positive and baby was on his way. We found out early on that we were having a boy. I planned to have another natural delivery and had all my maternity care at the Hospital in Murray, about 30 minutes from our home. I saw a Midwife practice and was happy with my choice for another natural delivery. I was hoping the hospital was going to offer water birth options. My baby was due on September 24, 2018.  Throughout the pregnancy I had this feeling that I would delivery early. I worked out every day and kept up cardio, weights and yoga until my due date.  My Dad and G (his fiance) flew in the weekend before my due date to he
