Okay so I have been a mom for all of 21 months now and I just discovered something incredible that I would ate in my TOP TEN of greatest discoveries.....

Background story and explanation:

Kaylee is growing like a weed! It seems like for a while there every month we were buying her a new pair of pants. Luckily, with summer here, we were able to save some money with shorts and capris being her main bottoms. We had one cold day and I went to put her last pair of jeans on and SURPRISE, SURPRISE, she looked like she was wearing high-waters. We went out that week and bought her some size 24 month pants. They fit great in the length but her little waist is about the size of a 6 month old still so they instantly fell to her feet. I was pretty worried. I looked all over the internet for some belts that would fit her. I liked alot of them but I was having a hard time spending $25 on ONE belt.

This morning I made my discovery! I decided to put her pants on her and measure about how much needed to be taken in. When I was about the button them I noticed some elastic sticking out of the sides with a button (the red part on the picture). A little trial and error and I figured out if you unbutton the elastic and pull on it the sides go in. Button when finished and....

WHALA..... PANTS THAT FIT!!!

So... That is my story of my amazing discovery this week... More to come soon I'm sure :)

(It really is amazing what you get excited about when you have kids)

Today is officially my second day of summer! When I look ahead at my calendar I feel so over scheduled and overwhelmed. With school, work, and church I feel like TIME is something I don't have right now. I was thinking of all of the things I would love to have time to do so I thought I would share.

This is in no particular order :) Just a vending list really!!

My list:

I want to:

1) be able to sit for a whole day and read a book from cover to cover with no interruptions

2) learn to be crafty:This entales scrapbooking, digital scrapbooking, making cards, making hair bows, making baby belts, making bags, etc.

3) learn how to actually use my camera!!

4) learn how to edit pictures really well

5) learn how to BBQ

6) Learn how to bake

7) Learn interior design

8) Read my scriptures and actually ponder them!!

9) Spend some real quality time with my husband!!

10) Have time to breathe!

Again in no particular order just things I would like to have time to do :)

This last week we have actually had some summer weather! It has been in the 90's for a few days and Kaylee has certainly enjoyed playing in the sunshine. We have a park right near our house so her and I went over for about 3 hours one afternoon and she played her heart out!
After running around I set her up in the tree for a rest.
