one crazy little chicken: blessing
http://summersun8.blogspot.com/2014/03/blessing.html
My side of the family. In the LDS Church, we have a special blessing that new babies receive. It's a wonderful, spiritual time that allows us to celebrate the new baby and welcome him or her into our church family. It allows an opportunity for Heavenly Father to bless one of His sweet children directly. For TJ's blessing, we had so many of our wonderful family members come out! It was a real treat to see so many of our loved ones, and to show off our adorable kiddo. It was so fun to have so many people!

one crazy little chicken: blessed
http://summersun8.blogspot.com/2015/08/blessed.html
Eli was blessed on July 26. Because we ended up doing it the Sunday after the family reunion. There were still lots of people from my mom's family in town! Almost all of my aunts and uncles from here side were able to bring their families. We felt so blessed to have so many people there to love and support Eli! We were not very early, but thankfully some of the family had showed up and saved a couple pews. It was such a sweet experience. I am so grateful that Tyler holds the priesthood. I really, really ...

one crazy little chicken: August 2014
http://summersun8.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
I went back and read through several of my blog posts during pregnancy. By far my favorite was this one. I miss being pregnant. Which is weird, because I hated being pregnant. My posts made me laugh. I don't usually think of myself as funny,. But I hope once in a while I make you chuckle. I laugh hard at my own jokes so I like to think that once in a while someone is laughing with me. I've also noticed this blog has become so much more serious since the baby was born. Where has my sense of fun gone?

one crazy little chicken: us
http://summersun8.blogspot.com/p/us.html
Tyler and I were married March 16, 2012 in the Seattle, Washington temple. We met going to school at BYU-Idaho in Rexburg, Idaho. Right now we live in Utah, where Tyler is attending Law School. We like good food, dirt biking, reading, and Sunday cuddles. We have two sweet boys, TJ and Eli (also known as Monkey Boy and Baby Bear). I started this blog in 2008, when I was still in high school. Hopefully it tells a little bit of my story. I like to write about my life. Thanks for checking us out! All content...

one crazy little chicken: Larson Reunion 2015
http://summersun8.blogspot.com/2015/07/larson-reunion-2015.html
It was fun and crazy and exhausting. The boys did great, and TJ had a so much fun time playing with all the cousins! He wore himself completely ragged, and you could definitely tell by the last day that he was way overstimulated. He was so happy to be home. Here are some of the things we did, in photo-dump form. Packed alot of crap. Diaper changes in the car. Worked on bikes with dad, grandpa, and uncle Logan. Stayed in this sweet lodge. TJ's first motorcycle ride. Ellen made sarcastic faces. Im thinking...

one crazy little chicken: May 2015
http://summersun8.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
I was bad this time around, and did all of my baby prep (nursery, washing clothes, packing hospital bag) back at like 30 weeks. That leaves me with nothing to do for the next four weeks but wait. I'm a super nazi about housework because I don't want to go in to labor and be behind on the laundry, or have dishes piled in the sink! For the most part our house has been really. Symptoms include the usual: major waddling, soreness, and heartburn. My guess is my amniotic fluid is a little low because I've been...

one crazy little chicken: 2 months of Eli
http://summersun8.blogspot.com/2015/08/2-months-of-eli.html
2 months of Eli. All these pictures are from when he was closer to six weeks. He is getting so big so fast. He's starting to resemble TJ as he fills in more. Height: 22.5 inches. Weight: 11.51 pounds. He has started smiling, mostly at me and at the ceiling. I love it and (of course) never get the camera out in time. He is so sweet and mellow. He has started talking to me a little bit, but just to me. This kid is a mama's boy through and through and I LOVE it! Bath time is just the best! Im glad nursing h...

one crazy little chicken: faith
http://summersun8.blogspot.com/p/i-believe.html
Tyler and I are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints. This means that we believe in basic Christian principals, as well as a few other things. One of the most important is our belief that families can be together forever. Tyler and I were married in the temple, and because we were sealed there we will be together again after death. To learn more, check out mormon.org. You can also read what I've written about my beliefs:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). See what else I've read. All cont...

one crazy little chicken: being a mom at 22 is weird
http://summersun8.blogspot.com/2015/07/being-mom-at-22-is-weird.html
Being a mom at 22 is weird. At my age, there are two kinds of people. Mormons and everyone else. I realize this is an over-generalization. Everyone else is finishing up college. Everyone else is starting masters programs, law school, medical school, or their first grown-up job. OR freaking out because they have graduated and realize their degree isn't really good for anything, so they had to move back in with their parents. It's weird to see my friends living it up, experiencing the world for themselves ...

one crazy little chicken: May 2014
http://summersun8.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
TJ needed a hair cut to even out his hair. One of my pet peeves is when toddlers have thin, lanky hair because they never got it cut. Cutting hair gives it a chance to thicken more evenly, which makes it healthier-looking in the long run. Last night was the perfect opportunity, since Tyler needed a hair cut too. Not a HUGE difference, but I'll be trimming it every time I trim Tyler's. He'll have a thick head of hair in no time! Also, now we can't do a faux hawk. Saturday, May 31, 2014. Also, Tyler and I ...
