24

Some random facts:
2months ago, today, I turned 24.

I was a mom to 3kids at the age of 23 for 2months and 5 days. Ha!

I've decided I'm embracing every year I turn a year older, because all of my friends that are in their 30's say 30's are way better than 20's. i decided to believe them. 24 makes me sounds so much more mature, right?

2months have done me a lot of good. I'm feeling like myself so much more these days.

I like boring and useful presents... Something I'll use all the time and have been wanting.

I think flowers and such are a waste of money. Not dark chocolate though. Good, rich chocolate is always worth the money.

Raef had only been home for 6weeks when my birthday came. The best present I could have asked for was Austin coming home to help me finish my table. He knows me so well.

After a 2month wait, we finally had a garage sale (that we originally planned on having the weekend Raef was born) and we were able to buy chairs for our table this weekend! Wahoo! No more eating on plastic lifetime chairs! I'm so happy.

I'm already thinking about how I'll do my kitchen in our next house and how my table will look with it. For reals. I'm a crazy, but we have been talking about moving a lot if it justifies that.

I have an obsession

And it's ISR.

Seriously. For those of you that are LDS, you know the feeling of wanting to tell everyone about the gospel? That's how I feel about ISR (Infant Swimming Resource.) I feel so lucky to have been able to put my girls through this program. I couldn't imagine having an AZ summer without my kids being fish and not being able to feel comfortable around pools and such. Like I've said before, it's a big time and financial commitment, but IT WORKS. (Austin and I are also big believers in if there's a will, there's a way, and we've always been able to come up with money for ISR.) Without a doubt, every baby and toddler comes out of there learning what they were supposed to. My girls have learned safety around water, how to enjoy it,what their boundaries are, and how to save themselves if they were to ever fall in if someone wasn't around. Oh, and Truly has only done a total of 10 weeks in 2 years and Sky has done 11 weeks in 3 years. I really am grateful for it and their teacher, Angelee. ISR saves many kids lives. I wish I had a pool right now, so I could be an instructor myself. Maybe one day. Would you send your kids to me? Pretty please?? Anyway, there's my confession... now onto  some pics of my adorable girls and their sweet skills,  mostly courtesy of Angelee Holt. (I have lots of videos, but for some reason uploading to blogger has been crazy difficult for me. I can put more on facebook if you'd like to see some good stuff. :)
