Lucas turned three this month, and we had a splish splash birthday bash with his cousin, Ben, who turned 5 this month! These kids are growing up way too fast. It was supposed to be this big double birthday thing, but every kid I invited was either at a family reunion or their grandparents. But by the time we finally came to the day of the birthday party I was so relieved that it ended up being just our family. Whew! I have been exhausted! I feel like we've been running and going 100 miles an hour. Actually, Levi almost was last weekend...
He completed his second, but twice as long, triathlon last Saturday! 1 mile swim, 24 mile bike ride and a 10k. Holy cow!! He was going, going, going for over three hours! I haven't even ran a full 5k since I last posted about it.... in June, I think :/
After the race
Just crossed the finish line
Yup. That's my man :) He's just awesome this week... more details to come later!
Mama, on the other hand, not so awesome the last few weeks. Things are finally getting better, but it's been a rough, stressful month. Planning parties/relief society night (which I was excited to do and turned out great, it just fell at a bad time), Levi working late a lot of nights and Sundays, the house being crazy messy because I don't feel like cleaning it but I still have two toddlers... Anyway, crazy and busy and stressful seemingly 100% of the time. That's how August has been. So I hired a housekeeper. And I love her :) Sooooo worth it! It has made a world of difference. The house stays pretty clean, but even when it's messy it's not *dirty* and it's not messy *all* the time. On Mondays and Thursdays I come home to a fantastically clean house! I can definitely deal with that!
There have also been other personal changes and things going on that are already making September appear much better than this month has been ;) I guess we will just have to see!
