So different

By
The older you get the more your different personalities are coming out. It's so fun!

Kaybree has always wanted to be just like all the big girls she sees. You want to do what everyone else does and you fit right in! You go with the flow very well but you do your best to lead--while following. I know that doesn't make a ton of sense but basically you're the leader of the crowd. You follow everyone else but you don't let anyone step on you. You know you're the cutest thing around and you flaunt it a little bit. You pretend to be shy (because that's the cool thing to do) but you're excited to tell everyone all about your boo boos or the puppies you saw at the mall or anything else going on in your life.

This week you started preschool and you were so excited. As soon as we got there you followed Teagan right inside, waving and calling goodbye to me as you went. No hesitation. You know what to do and you do it. You're attending Montessori House in Lehi for preschool. It's a very cute school and we are SO grateful that we get it for free!


Some funny things you say:
Boobs/bras are hippos. I think you're thinking nipples sounds like hippos maybe. Hiccups are makeup so you tell me you got "makeups" today!
The other day we told you, as we usually do, that you had a choice of taking a nap or playing quietly in your room. You came to me and said "Mommy, you have two choices. You play with me or you take a nap." I chose the nap.


Eisley, you follow your own beat. You just naturally know what's funny and you do it. You don't really do it for anyone else. You love when people laugh with you but you'll laugh on your own if you have to. Now that you're FINALLY walking you're a little more adventurous. You still love to be held by me at home but outside you're off and running. You love animals and so if there's an animal near by you're right up in its face saying hi and patting it on the head. So cute!

You make me laugh all the time. You seem hesitant about most men and any time a man asks you a question the response is "No!" but if a woman asks you, you'll answer honestly. Your favorite people right now are me, Brittany (Beenee) and Amy (you say her name crystal clear!) Brittany may have us all beat. The other day she dropped you off to me at your doctor's appointment. We said good bye in the parking lot and we went inside. You got a shot at the check up so you were still upset as we walked out. As soon as we stepped outside you pointed to the parking lot and said "Beenee" all whimpery like all you wanted was to see Brittany. She loves how much you love her!

We finally went camping this summer! That was fun. We only went for one night and we didn't arrive until sunset so it was a VERY short trip but it was fun. We went with Melissa, Kyle and Brekken Couch. Eisley slept maybe an hour. You wanted to play ALLLLLLLL night. It was exhausting. And funny. Here are the photos:

My biggest challenge

By
I’m a writer by trade. I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I love to put my feelings into words. Yet, in the last month, I’ve been having a very difficult time vocalizing what’s happening in my life. It’s not because it’s been sad or difficult or anything like that. It’s mostly because there is someone new in my life who I care very deeply for who I feel this deep need to protect. I want to protect his identity, his story, his life. I don’t want to overstep any boundaries or crush any trust. I recognize the life he has lived has not been easy and so I tread lightly on this relationship we’ve built. But honestly—it’s a fantastic relationship. He’s an amazing kid. I’ve been asked to write a blog post for an organization that helps recruit foster parents about the first few weeks of being a foster parent. I’m having difficulty deciding what to write. I feel like anything I write about my case probably won’t apply to their case so it’s not very helpful. I keep writing drafts and then...

Summer time

By
This summer is flying by! I've been taking Kaybree to the same sitter every day since 10 weeks old when I went back to work, Shaunelle Eyestone. You are their 5th kid. But with four kids of her own home all summer and a new baby coming along Shaunelle asked to go to part time this summer. Luckily we have awesome family near by willing to help me out and watch you girls! Grandma Bonnie has been taking you two days a week and says it's the best part of her week. She loves it! She's a substitute teacher during the school year so she has the summer off. She's so sweet to watch you both for free. It's also giving you a chance to get to know John better as Bonnie asks him to help out each day. He's learning more about babies and you're opening up to him more. It's sweet to see. Fridays Aunt Brittany takes the two of you for free. Her kids basically just spoil you both all day. They argue over whose turn it is to hold Eisley and Kaybree basically becomes th...

I feel stupid

By
“I don’t feel cared for.” “I feel stupid.” Those are two things I never wanted to hear my kids say but you said both to me this weekend. I had just started the shower and went out into the hallway to search for a clean towel and there you were, in the dark, slumped against the side of the hallway with your head in between your knees. You weren’t crying yet but it was clear things were not OK. I assumed it was another fight with your sister, and maybe it was at first, but when I asked what was wrong that was the response I got. I went back into my bathroom and turned off the water. This would take an extra long hug. I pulled you into my arms and told you I feel stupid all the time. We’re all learning every day and it’s OK. It’s more true for me than I would like to admit. My job right now is hard and there seems to be at least one day each week when I feel like I can’t do anything right. I hate that feeling. I hate even more that my sweet girl is feeling it. So how do we move...
