Life lately...

It seems like we have been sick for weeks in this house. First Colt gets something, then Hudson catches it, by the time we are all healthy again something else has come up. I can't wait for summer, and being able to smell the fresh air! But...I do have some recent pictures I wanted to post because I am trying really hard this year to be better about logging and journaling. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Just a typical day

Around here life isn't too glamorous, or adventurous, but it is great! :) I love spending days with my boys, watching them play...or more like wrestle. Now don't get me wrong, it's nowhere near perfect, but whose house is? We have fights, tantrums, and lots of messes. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Here are some pics from our day :)

New Year

Our NYE was a quiet one. We drank sparkling cider at dinner, and the kids went to bed early and Jayson and I had a Harry potter marathon. It was fun to just spend it at home doing some quiet things.

Reflections.

We pledge to make this year our best year yet!

This was our proclamation from last year. Every year Jayson and I sit down and do an inventory where we look at the things we have done this last year and see if they have been true to what we wanted to accomplish in our proclamation. This year was no different, and I'm grateful for such a strong priesthood holder as head of our family. We learned lots in 2012 and are excited to continue to learn and grow in 2013. Here is our proclamation for this year! 

Limb Family Proclamation 2013

We pledge to love God, each other, and those around us with all of our hearts. We pledge to be quicker to forgive. We pledge to be kinder, and act out of love instead of acting out of spite or anger. We pledge to be true, and to stand up for our beliefs. We pledge to visit the temple more often. We pledge to reflect more on the life of our Savior Jesus Christ, and to emulate him in all we do. We pledge to make our home a refuge from the worries of the world. We pledge to find peace, and to mend family relationships that have been hurt. We pledge to celebrate this Earth we have been given by enjoying it all we can. We pledge to continue to read our scriptures with a thirst for knowledge in understanding the Gospel. We pledge to be better prepared in the event of an emergency. We pledge to gather together with our friends more often, and to find time to do fun things. We pledge to trust that God in his infinite wisdom sees the big picture, and understands our triumphs and trials and that as long as we are faithful all will be well. We pledge to document our lives better, in journaling, blogging, and taking more pictures. We pledge to make this our best year yet!

There are a few things that are the same from last year, obviously those are things we are going to continue to work on! Hope everyone had a safe and happy new year!

So far this summer...

We have been having a really fun summer and it has been busier than I thought it would be. We have been up in the hills a few times, gone shooting, played outside, taken lots of baths....I seriously can't get Hudson out of there haha, and one night our dogs who usually stay in our mud room decided they would come visit me while I was feeding Colt...those little buggers! I hope everyone is having a good summer so far...it has been kinda cold here the last few days and we are looking forward to some heat! :)

Finally getting the pictures up from Idaho/Montana

 Our trip to Idaho/Montana started out a week or two early, I have five lists of things to do before we left and things to pack, etc...so this is what my boys did while I tried to cross everything off the list :)

 After my little sisters graduation (WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU SIS!) we got in the car and started making the 12 hour drive...it was crazy...we had stuff tied on top of our car and it started raining and snowing...we were going to try to do it in one day but we ended up stopping for the night and Jayson and I found the last hotel that had any openings and jumped on it haha...it was really ghetto but it was nice to get a few hours sleep and my boys had had it by this time. We got up early and finished the trek to Clark Fork Idaho and once we got out of the car Hudson was just go go go...I can't blame him after being cooped up in the car all day for 2 days. My kids were little angels on the trip...seriously I couldn't have asked for better travelers. Colt only got fussy the last few miles before we got to Clark Fork, amazing! It really helped that Amber and her kids were with us, we sure had a fun trip!

 It was so fun to go fishing and explore the beautiful Clark Fork area, Hudson was just loving life. And once we were with all our family so many people were passing Colt around I hardly saw him :)

 Hudson loved looking at the fish but Uncle Andy loved getting the fish right in Hudson's face which he didn't love but it was funny haha

 Hudson found this book at a gas station for 6 dollars and I made sure he enjoyed it the entire 6 dollars worth haha.

 Everyone was so good to run around with Hudson and keep him busy.

This is from our trip home, both of my boys slept for almost 4 hours straight...they were so worn out. It was such a fun trip to be with all of our family, we sure miss you guys! I'm glad we were able to go and celebrate Grandpa Stan and the great man he was.
