I guess we're doing this again...

Lets see who reads the blog, haha. 


A couple of weeks ago, I had 0 motivation to show up on social media, or really anywhere in my life. Which seemed like it came out of nowhere, at almost 9 months postpartum I've been doing and feeling pretty good! I put on some makeup though, and showed up in my IG stories. My makeup was done in my basic "everyday makeup" fashion.. nothing extra, nothing special.. I didn't even use highlighter, and a friend commented that my makeup looked "especially glowy" that day. And then came the forgetfulness. Like, I would forget what I was saying mid-sentence. A problem I had when I was pregnant with Waylon. Zac was like, "do you need to pee on a stick?" haha. 

Turns out, F Baby #4 will be joining us this Fall!


Updates this far for anyone who wants to know:

Now, today is January 23rd. I'm very tired, and I don't really want to eat anything, with the exception of Taco Bell's Chips & Cheese. I still have no motivation to do my makeup, or show up on social media, but I hope after posting this I will find some motivation! I mean, I run GTB here on the Western Slope, so I can't just stop. I have brunches scheduled out to the end of April, (and exciting things planned beyond that!) and things that need to be scheduled for Damsel in Defense! (and a leadership conference this week!)

So far, this first trimester has been similar to my first trimester when I was pregnant with Kalia. Who by the way, very much wants a sister. We've told the kids, who (other than Waylon) are excited, asking to see the baby through my belly button and are trying to come up with names. It's adorable. This baby will be about 6 years younger than Orin, 4.5 years younger than Kalia and 18 months give or take than Waylon!


We are excited, and Zac is sure he can figure out a way to put a 3rd row of seating in my Jeep! Haha. We'll see!

Also, I feel as though it's worth mentioning that I am hesitant to announce this. Which seems strange since I've been all about changing the stigma around announcing pregnancies early... but I know there are women who can't get pregnant easily, and that is not lost on me. Especially since we weren't "trying". 

As difficult as pregnancy can be for me, I am honored and feel incredibly blessed that I am pregnant again. (Even if I have to remind myself of that when I'm throwing up chili at 3 am ;) haha)

  WELL HELLO THERE! Its only been 11 months since I last posted, haha. (12*)  When I tell you A LOT has happened... For starters, let me introduce you to Waylon!  He was my first home-birth, just before Easter, and WOW what an experience!  The last couple of posts were - I'm pregnant! We went to a BBQ restaurant! I'm pregnant again! lol. He is an awesome little boy. It took him about a month, but he is finally enjoying being a big brother! Maybe this is going to sound like a Christmas letter... but hey, we are 10 days out so why not?! (okay, so it's now January. Where did December go?) Miss Annabell was born on the Autumn Equinox, into Zac's arms. She has been the sweetest addition to our family.  Orin and Kalia have been the best biggest siblings, and have (for the most part) enjoyed stepping into these roles. It IS incredibly weird to say that I have 4 kids.  I'm still in my Jeep. Zac did add a 3rd row in the back. RIP trunk space. We have some really exciting thi

Mica Mine Trail and Ladder Canyon

View From Inside the Mica Mine The first time we did this hike, it was Winter in February. That was a much different hike than doing it in the Spring! We decided to go back this time with both kiddos because it is a fairly easy trail. Climb Down at the Beginning, Back Up at the End This trail is in Bangs Canyon. You start off by climbing down a little cavern. If you don't go past the mine at the end, I would say that this is the most difficult part of this trail. You also have to climb back up this at the end. However, there are very noticible steps/paths and some handholds so you should be fine. Once you get down that, you come to the first and only fork. You will go right, staying on the trail towards the Mica Mine.  Very Dog and Kid Friendly! I would say most of the trail looks like the above picture. We brought our 1 year old Chiweenie, Jade, , then our 3 year old Chiweenie Zoe on the 3rd trip out. We also brought our Kelty Kids Carrier for Ori
