Are you sick of the random february pics yet?

I am! Wow, I have no good excuse for not updating this blog for the last few months. Mostly, I am just trying to let go of things that don't absolutely have to happen (like blogging and cleaning bathrooms, haha) so I can spend more time on the important stuff (like checking blood sugar and going to the park!). Anyway, here is what we have been up to the last couple of months:


Going to THE ZOO with cousins in March - kinda cold, but perfect weather to see the animals play (at least the animals that are still alive - what the heck is going
on with Hogle Zoo?!)





For my birthday, Mark and I headed off to NEW YORK, where it rained like crazy most of the time we were there! We didn't care though, it was still an awesome trip. More pictures to come!!






In April, THE BUNNY stopped by our house and left some surpises on the top bunk...




I was feeling pretty crappy for a little while there and couldn't get things under control very well with my diabetes. Kinda depressing when you think that is what life is just going to be like from now on, no matter what you do. But then I got one of these awesome babies last month and it has made a HUGE difference in my life. I highly recommend it if your
pancreas ever decides to stop working.

Insulin Pump = no more injections + better control + way less highs and lows
HOORAY!!!!
Definitely not the most stylish accessory in my wardrobe, but by far the one I can't live without... literally (hahaha, sorry for the diabetes humor).

We went to Temple Square for activity days last month to take some pictures for their Dads at our Daddy/Daughter activity - aren't they cute?! I love these girls! It is my one chance to hang around pink and bows instead of ninja turtles and monster trucks.


We also moved the boys into the same room (super fun for them, not so fun for us as it turns out - at least at bedtime anyway), spent a day at Primary Children's with Wyatt (he is fine - it turned out to be a little bit of pneumonia and a really bad ear infection), spent lots of time outside and celebrated a BUNCH of family birthdays (Me, Raquel, my Dad, Cody, Cami, MaKenna, McKay, Alyssa, Chad, and Connor). It has been a fun and busy couple of months!

So, what's the story with the diabetes? I haven't heard anything about it. I have gestational diabetes, so I know where you are coming from. Good luck! Happy to see the photo updates however!

it was so great to see you the other day at the mall! I wish we could have talked longer, we definitely need to get together soon. And i know how you feel about realizing you'll have to deal with the highs and lows of a disease forever, i'm still trying to get mine figured out and it's been 10 years! I'm glad the pump is working so well for you though...

Fun pics! My cousin has used the pump for years, I know that it changed his life and he loves it. If you ever need to borrow Deja for more touch of the girlie stuff, she is always available and just loves you to death :) I am sure we will all start to see each other more with the warm weather finally approaching!

Your birthday looks like it was super fun! We missed you at John's party (and like 10 other friend events :)) Although I was sad to see the Feb pics go it was nice to see new pics that I can now look forward to looking at for a couple of months. Hope we can see you guys soon.
