Having 5 kids I am learning is rough. Lucy hasn't been sleeping great and with Noah at home and another in only half day preschool... there isn't a chance for a nap either. Luckily I am married to the best man in the world because he understands that this girl needs some sleep and will get up early with the kids or take Lucy to sleep on the couch when nights get super rough. He's awesome like that. I have decided that this is just life right now and am trying to just make the best of it since I know too well that Lucy will not be this small forever. The best way is to just laugh at everything and move on. My sleep deprived brain has really done some awesome things lately. Such as forgetting my kids names at times. I keep calling Lucy "lilly" so much that I am considering just changing her name (not really...she will stay Lucy. I will just figure it out one day). I thought I was doing really good at remembering my friends birthday and made a super yummy treat the night before only to look at the calendar in the morning and realized I was a whole week off and her birthday was the NEXT week. She was nice enough to just let it be her birthday anyway. I think she is getting used to my craziness. I got my hair cut the other day. started to walk out her door only to have forgotten Lucy. Good thing I only made it to the door. That could have been really awesome. Tried to use my debit card. Had to type in my zip code into the key pad thingy. Couldn't remember it to save my life and sat there for probably 5 min trying to remember it. The cashier probably thought I was nuts. I had to speak in sacrament a few weeks ago. Got to the pulpit only to realize I was missing a few pages to my talk. That was awesome. This is just a few of my recent crazy antics. One day I think my brain will start working again... hopefully. Looking forward to when Lucy (not lilly) starts sleeping through the night. this is a really old picture of Emma who fell asleep in the playroom. Im way too tired to find the camera to load new pictures of Lucy

never going to catch up
I wanted to catch up all of our summer, but times are crazy and I have come to realize it's just not gonna happen. so im just going to say that the summer was amazing. We spent a lot of time with family, had a Pilkington reunion, Aaron tried to kill the nieces and nephews by hiking Mt Timpanogos thinking they would be back by lunch and not getting back until late in the evening (luckily they came across a melting glacier so they could refill their water bottles...its a fun story, and best of all Abby was baptized. Such a happy day. She is my sweet beautiful Abby who I swear was just a baby yesterday. So proud of her. Then we moved our family to Texas and started school (Abby=3rd grade, Emma=1st grade, Jonas=pre-k...yeah I know, crazy). Aaron's mom came to save the day and help us while waiting for baby to come. Had our Lucy. She is perfect. I am truly the luckiest mom in the whole world. And now im pretty much caught up. Now enjoy a picture overload.
