6 years, Labor day weekend, and random updates

Me and Caleb celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary on the 4th! I don't really have a bunch to say other than it's been an amazing 6 years! The power went out the day we got married along with our day this year as well. For 3 stinking hours might I add. Haha I guess we are just planning on the power being out on holidays since it was out on my birthday too. So, we weren't able to even make us a nice dinner like I had planned. What do ya do. Eat chips, sit in the dark, and talk. Haha.

That morning, our niece was blessed, so we went to her baby blessing.

Happy Anniversary my sweet husband of mine! I love him so so so much.

Labor day weekend ended up being a lot of fun! My sister had come up from Utah which is always fun. Saturday, most all of the family last minute drove to Fall Creek Falls, It's really a very pretty spot!

Monday was Labor Day, so we met up at the zoo that afternoon, then ended back at my parents for pizza and treats. 
Compared to the last time we went with Kinley, she showed a little more interest this time which was kinda fun. She was actually looking at the animals haha

All my siblings and our kids. Just missing Caleb, and my sister's husband. 


Tuesday, the day after Labor day, me and Caleb decided to go out for a late anniversary dinner since our anniversary was on a Sunday and the power outage didn't allow out to even have a good meal at home. So, we went out on a date! We did a couple errands and then decided to try out the Snakebite. Honestly, we didn't love it. There was a hair in Caleb's food and they messed up my order which is no surprise because literally EVERYWHERE messes my order up. Now we know though and it was still fun to go out!
Our cute dinner date tag along :)




So this last week I have gone through Kinley's old clothes, and FINALLY gone through every bit of my closet and separated what was going where. I tried to sell some of my nice clothes and NO one was buying them and I had like 4 people fall through. It was just a continuous hassle. So, I figured as bad as it sucks, I need to just di them. Otherwise they will just sit in my closet for no reason. 
For Kinley, I had put this outfit in a bin a while back with a bunch of her older clothes even though it still fit her. I stuck it in there because every time I saw it, I was reminded of the awful seizure she had at the restaurant. This was the outfit she was wearing and the same day we went down to Primary Children's the first time. I couldn't help but be reminded of our very emotional, scary, exhausting time in our lives every time I saw it. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. It was cute and had only been worn twice. I didn't want to keep it where I would see it a lot, yet I felt almost sad in a way getting rid of it because this particular outfit just reminds me of a big thing our family and especially our Kinley went through. I ended up sticking it in the di bag mainly because It brought back too many bad memories every time I saw it and I figured getting rid of it would probably be the best option for me. It's bittersweet in a way. Kind of a weird feeling that I don't know how to describe.

And this here is all of my clothes getting hauled away. Again, it was bittersweet getting rid of clothes! Especially because certain clothes remind me of certain memories. For the most part, it was refreshing knowing that I was getting rid of things that brought back bad and negative feelings I had toward myself at the time. The shirt I was wearing the day we found out we were pregnant, or a favorite shirt I remember I could no longer squeeze myself into, the one I specifically remember wearing at one of our fertility appointments. To be honest, they mostly weren't the best memories. It was a very hard and pretty depressing time in my life when I was wearing these so It's nice knowing life has gotten so much better since and I'm throwing out the old and slowly bringing in the new. 

Got one of my walls decorated

Kinley loves to go to the sliding doors and watch outside, especially if dad is out there working :)

I ended up taking Kinley to the doctor because she had been pulling on her ear for a good few days. Turns out it's most likely teething. 

I've been going through Kinley's clothes and had to pull out 12 month clothes :( Pulling out fall clothes and putting away summer clothes. That part makes me happy!

Just because she very rarely falls asleep like this! The best feeling!

Mornings. hahaha I feel ya girl. 

And just cause she's cute :)
