This Place is Growing on Us

Juno is too much fun. She's the center of attention <3


Austin and I wanted a Boston Terrier super bad, but the dogs cost $600, the city fee (holy crap right?) is $200, the apartment deposit is $250, the spay/neuter process was between $150-$300, and the shots ranged from $20-$50 each.......

Maybe when I have a nurse salary haha. Still want Quiggly! 

Juno was the best decision ever, I've always wanted a cat. Austin has never had a cat and was a bit hesitant. That's why the dog was the first thing --because we both like dogs! But guess who Juno's favourite is now? And guess who has to give me the play by play of what Juno and he did all day when I get home from work?





Our garden is growing! Some things died off so we know what not to plant.....
We're definitely learning about Wyoming pests haha! But I am actually surprised at what's hanging in there! Our plants are not limited to these pics --we also found a greenhouse and got some squash and new blueberry bushes (because ours died because the soil was not acidic enough... we got soil acidifier and they doing great!)






I think we're going to be pretty happy here. We got a little friend, our house lets us have more of a home with a garden among other things, and our jobs are going great. 

<3 from Wyoming!

    Thank you Mel, it's crazy because she was in the shelter for over a month and no one wanted her! Glad we got her!

Call Me a SAHM in Training

Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)  Besides a medical leave and two maternity leaves, I’ve always been a full-time plus on call nurse mom. I am now almost two months into being a SAHM and I would have to still say I’m training! A lot of you have told me routine is so important, and I’ve been trying my darndest to do that. We do library time or errands in the morning, naptime and quiet time after lunch, and art and outdoor/indoor active  play until dad comes home! Some days it blows up in my face, much like what we’d call a s-tshow at work, haha! Except these are my monkeys and my circus! But mostly because I am learning and loving it, too. I struggle with anxiety and depression. Ever since I was little. My post-partum depression with R was so difficult. I am so lucky to have an incredible husband and health team that honestly kept me alive during that time. Luckily, I was treated prior to giving birth to A too because a) it was known I get PPD and b) it’s better and easier to tr...

Holiday Hullabaloo

It is full blown Christmas at the Carmens! The boys have been busy with holiday crafts, decorating and drawing. Because the colder weather draws us indoors and off our scooters and bikes (though we still go on walks these days in the bike trailer all bundled up)  Our house these days looks more like this: We’ve had so much fun doing all the typical holiday crafts and baking with the boys! We went to Queensgate Gardens where they got to meet Santa and make their own ornament. We also made a Costco ginger bread house (you guys this thing is $9 and prebuilt!), snow globes, sugar cookies, decorated foam gingerbread men... the holidays are the best to fill your time up with kid activities.                                                Finally, and for the first time ever I have a dedicated crafting space. We are still in our apartment saving and waiting for the perfec...

When Family Visits

This past weekend, we got to spend time with my lovely parents! Lance (my step-dad) and my mom came out to Rexburg to party po-dunk style with us haha! First we took them to R-Mountain which is actually a crater volcano :) Maybe you recognize it from the 4th of July adventures of Braustin? We had finals (so Austin and I look like train wrecks only getting 6 hours of sleep in the last three days...  haha!) Lance and mom were doing wonderful though, and were more energetic than us for sure!  Then we made some taffy, but what we didn't know was our candy thermometer we bought was broken in the first place. So it never rose past 150ºF despite it looking like it burned. Yeah. It ended up looking like an organ. And it also ate our black plastic spoon because it rose so high in temperature. It was molten lava! Belonged on R-Mountain that's for sure! We had Austin run back to the grocery store who sold us the defective thermometer, and ...
