<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">It's 7 AM on a Monday. Graham got me up at 5:30 as did JoJo who thinks she is small enough to sleep under our bed which is definitely not the case. Really should start going to bed earlier but when Jake is gone I struggle. Now Graham and I are watching the sunrise and making pancakes. </span><br />

Jake just left for six weeks of training in Montgomery Alabama. You have to say that in a southern accent. It's been pretty lonely and crazy here without him. And it's only been two days. But these boys are very hard. Love them to death but if there was a boarding school for toddlers I would probably pay big money to send them there right now. So much screaming and fighting and hitting, I think I'll start wearing headphones are on the house just to stay sane. Mckell is flying in on Friday, thank heaven. She and I will make the TWENTY hour drive to Zion sometime next week.<br />
<br />
Until then I'll try my best to create new activities in the summer heat. They are currently obsessed with jumping on the tramp with sprinklers. Naked. I fixed up their play kitchen in hopes that it'll distract them while I'm cleaning and making meals. I'm going to try to meditate this week, which is hard for me. to sit still. But Gabrielle Bernstein says it will fix all my problems so... guess I'll give it a go. Send any tips my way! Thinking about making my extra bedroom into a dreamy zen den... whatever that means. ;) </div>

<br />
There's this thing that happened when I had another kid... my life turned into an insane zoo of diapers and potty training. Then there was the moving and traveling. Blogging wasn't important.<br />
<br />
Over a year later and I'm like... maybe it is, because it was an outlet for me to say things. I sit here all day with two boys who are adorable but not great conversationalists. Then Jake comes home and we're both too exhausted to talk about much. My blog was a place for me to put down my thoughts and the moments that matter. Then I look back and it and am reminded why I love this crazy life I signed up for. SOOO here we go....<br />
<br />
A lot has happened in the last year.<br />
<br />
We learned we were leaving California to teach pilot training in Del Rio, Texas. Just a few miles from the Mexican border. I was in denial for quite some time. Now we're here, living in a house we bought and I'm like wow, this is real. Miles is one now, he runs around with his adorable curls and pot belly. He still hasn't grown teeth, he's still very much my baby. Graham is three and in preschool three times a week. The kid has soo much personality. Quite the handful. My days are a frizzy mess, trying to keep us busy, keep the house clean, etc etc. I've been battling the blues, desperately wishing I was closer to home and family.<br />
<br />
I recently listened to Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton. She describes my current situation perfectly. She says, "We get ourselves a mortgage and a minivan. We find a church. Who could ask for more? Life at home with three kids is rich, bursting at the seams with love, but I am stunned by the amount of work that caring for my children requires. Their needs are relentless. From dawn to dusk and then through the night I am reacting, responding, juggling, dripping with children. I am running a never-ending relay race, and since I am the only runner, I keep passing the baton back and forth to myself. My exhaustion is total. It is the best of times and the worst of times. I am both lonely and never alone. I am simultaneously bored out of my skull and completely overwhelmed. I am saturated with touch---desperate to get the baby off of me and the second I put him down I yearned to smell his sweet skin again. These days require more than I am physically and emotionally capable of, while requiring nothing from my brain. I had thoughts today, idea, real things to say, and no one to hear them.<br />
I feel manic all day, alternating between love and fury. At least once an hour I looked at their faces and thought I might not survive the tenderness of my love for them. The next moment I am furious. I feel like a dormant volcano, stead on the outside but ready to explode and spew hot lava at any moment. And then I notice he doesn't fit into his onesie anymore and I start to panic at the reminder that this will be over soon, that it's fleeting-- that this hardest time of my life is supposed to be the best time of my life. That this brutal time is also the most beautiful time. Am I enjoying it enough? Am I missing the best time of my life? Am I too tired to be properly in love? That fear and shame felt like adding a heavy, itchy blanket on top of all the hard.<br />
But I am not complaining, so please don't try to fix it. I wouldn't have my day or my life any other way. I'm just saying---it's a hell of a hard thing to explain---an entire day with lots of babies. It's far too much and not even close to enough."<br />
<br />
When I listened to that. I thought, FINALLY! Someone gets it. Someone could describe so accurately how I feel during this crazy phase of my life.<br />
<br />
So here's to the moms. Especially those far from home and family whose husbands work twelve hour days. Keep doing what your doing and know you're not alone.Courtney Kearnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02541823755482219304noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117384641973313612.post-51677473311641934092015-08-13T21:31:00.001-07:002015-08-13T21:54:25.659-07:00Miles Jacob: Birth Story<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Before we get started, I want everyone to know that I feel so blessed and happy to have another son, despite things going the exact opposite of how I wanted. So don't think of this as a pity party, it's just an honest account of the crazy crap we women go through to have babies.<br />
<br />
For the past couple weeks, I tried everything humanly possible to get natural labor going. The birthing center, I was at, would not induce vbacs (vaginal birth after cesarian) so my options were old school and limited. I foolishly thought that with Graham being so early, this baby would have to come sometime in July. So I booked my mom a ten day trip around my 39th week and hoped it would all work out. Ohhh Courtney.<br />
<br />
Flash forward to August 4th. My mom had left, I had been experiencing pretty consistent and uncomfortable contractions for days and had lost my plug. I thought for sure I was hours from active labor. Jake came with me to my OB appointment, we packed up the car ready to stay if we needed to. The OB checked me and I was still closed up tight! Not only that but she couldn't find my cervix. She had to look three or four times and use a speculum. We went home discouraged and frustrated once again.<br />
<br />
The next day I woke up feeling crampy again, so I took more castor oil. Third time is the charm? Later, I woke up from my nap having more contractions and having lost more of my plug, but not wanting to get too excited, I kept on with my day. Jake came home early to help me with Graham, I got the house ready, Jake picked up pizza, I went on a walk, then around 8:00 I went to comfort Graham in his room and felt a gush. I checked my pad and it was pretty soaked! Then the contractions became more intense. They were still about five minutes apart so I took a shower and packed a bag. Afterward, I began to feel quite a bit of pain, I told Jake to pick up the sitter. It's go time.<br />
<br />
10:00 pm and they were coming every 3-5 minutes, so I was pretty confident and excited when we went to the hospital. They hooked me up to the monitors and everything was looking good, except my blood pressure. Normally, it would have been somewhere around 109, however, this time it was up to 132. Oh crap.<br />
<br />
11:00: they tested my fluids and took some blood while I pushed through more and more contractions. Blood pressure was getting higher and higher 142, 161... Blood work came back with platelets at 85,000. A normal range is 150,000 to 400,000. The nurses seemed confident normal delivery was still the best option. They stuck me four times before they finally got me hooked up to an IV.<br />
<br />
1:00 am: The OB finally came in and told us that the risk was too high for a vaginal delivery and my platelets were too low for a spinal anesthetic. I had to have another general anesthetic C section and afterward, be put on Magnesium for the following 24 hours. I began to sob. All of that extra work at the end of pregnancy, all of the hope I had for a natural delivery and it was for nothing. Once again I would be left alone in the cold, bright delivery room and I wouldn't see my baby enter this world. I was going to be drugged and miserable for days and I will never experience a normal birth. Jake assured me that the baby needed that extra time in order to be healthy. What was important was getting us both safely through this. The next two hours lasted forever, between the IV's, the catheter, and the contractions, I kept crying and shaking violently, begging them to just put me to sleep. I felt so weak and helpless. This time seemed so much worse than the last because I knew what was coming. Finally, they wheeled me to the room, and after what seemed like forever, they put a mask on me and, next thing I knew, I was waking up to a brand new baby. 8 lbs 1/2 oz 20 inches long and lots of dark hair.<br />
<br />
Despite the Magnesium and C section pain, the recovery seemed a lot easier to handle this time around. After our baby was born, Jake had skin to skin immediately in the nursery. When I woke up, I breast fed him and held him close. I couldn't keep my eyes open for very long, but my nurses were great and kept my pain at a manageable level. Graham came and visited in the evening. He didn't quite know what to think of the baby, it kind of freaked him out, but he seemed happy none the less. The next two days went really well. They took me off Mag early, removed the catheter, and, suddenly, I felt like myself again. Luckily, my sister was there to help, thanks Lauren!<br />
<br />
Baby was doing so well with breastfeeding, he slept with me in my hospital bed and I felt so much peace and love holding him. We hadn't decided on a name yet. I was set on Abel Jake and I thought Jake was on the same page but he wasn't! He wanted Miles. Which had been in the top four the entire time but never my number one. After Jake left Friday, the name Miles seemed to really grow on me and fit him. I felt at peace with it.<br />
<br />
It's been a week now and I still stare at him in amazement, thinking how he fit in my tummy just a second ago. I am so very in love with him and it feels very different this time. With Graham it was a terrified intense love that exhausted me and scared me. This time I feel so much more at ease and can really soak up this precious newborn phase. Still exhausting, but he makes our family whole and I'm so grateful for him.Courtney Kearnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02541823755482219304noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117384641973313612.post-47600634116099466022015-07-19T22:31:00.001-07:002015-07-20T12:28:20.925-07:0021 months <br />

<br />
Graham's last update as the only child! It's a long one. Mostly because I know I'll have a hard time keeping up here soon. Can't believe he'll be two in a couple months... and an older brother! The last year FLEW by. <br />
<br />
This little toddler challenges us daily. He's got a lot of attitude and spunk and he NEVER stops moving. Still below average with his weight and height but not that big bobble head. He loves going to the park (still sits in his stoller) and kicking/throwing his sports balls. He runs around on his toes with one arm swinging. He swings from the bar at the top of the slide to give me a heart attack. His hair grows like a weed and is blond from the Summer sun. He loves the carousel and train at Nut Tree. He still takes a 2-3 hour nap.<br />
<br />
Eating is a hit or miss. As long as he hasn't been snacking, I can get him to eat pretty well. He loves sharing fish burritos at Rubios. He likes hot dogs and ketchup, ravioli, sloppy joes, indian food, all fruit, etc. Veggies are usually consumed in minestrone soup or fruit and veg packets. The trick is getting him to eat it by myself with a utensil. It usually ends up being smeared, played with and put on the floor for Riley. But we'll get there...<br />
<br />
He's finally getting better at nursery, dad has to take him while mom leaves for ten minutes so I don't hear him freak out. <br />
<br />
We've been swimming lots, he jumps off the edge after yelling "red-eee-goooo", loves mo-da boat and is learning to kick his legs.<br />
<br />
He loves looking at my belly and giving it kisses. I'm not sure if he fully understands that there's a real baby in there, even though he calls it baby.<br />
<br />
He tackles, loves and kisses Riley daily, she acts like she hates it but when another dog nipped at him yesterday she FREAKED out. So I guess they're best buds.<br />
<br />
I think he's getting his molars, his sleep has not been the greatest and he's moody, perfect timing Graham!<br />
<br />
His language skills are coming a long but it's still hard to communicate sometimes. Words he uses on the daily...<br />
<br />
Daddy and Momma, obviously.<br />
Ri-weee<br />
Baby<br />
Wa wa (any drink) Also uses it for flower...<br />
Ba-kit-ball <br />
Chugga chugga choo choo<br />
He-whoa? (hello)<br />
Bubble<br />
Woot (shoot)<br />
Snack!<br />
Milky and Ba ba<br />
More<br />
I cree (ice cream)<br />
No way! Hook! (Jake and the Neverland pirates)<br />
Roooom (motorcycle)<br />
Car, Air-bee (airplane) bike, truck<br />
Walk<br />
Row Row da Boat (his favorite song)<br />
Blub, Croak, Dog, Monkey, Roars, Shark, Turtle, Bear, wootee (horse)<br />
Elmo (also uses it for animal)<br />
Cookie, cake, apple, nana, chip and crack (cracker)<br />
Soap<br />
Book<br />
Nemo<br />
Weesh (swing)<br />
Rock<br />
Star<br />
Out<br />
All done<br />
Jump!<br />
Eye, nose<br />
<br />
Wow, that's quite the list. Probably won't be able to keep up much longer! Which is good. I love his wittle voice. Most of those words are shouted at me with a lot of enthusiasm. Especially when it's time to wake up and he is screaming MA MAAAAAAA like he's in pain. Such a lovely way to start the morning.<br />
<br />
We usually get "milky" after that and watch Octonauts or something until we wake up fully. Then it's time to eat and dress and maybe walk to the park, if it isn't too hot. We have to pick a flower a long the way for him to tear apart. There's usually an appointment or lunch with dad then nap time (often for both of us) afterwards we hang out and clean up until dad gets home. Our days are long and somewhat lazy, which I have loved, because at the end dad comes home, we get to eat dinner like a normal family and be together. We walk to the park and let Riley run. He splashes in the bath with his bubbles. Daddy reads to him and we sing. He is still in the crib until we're ready to put baby in there, hopefully with him... who knows. They are my world. So grateful for my boys!<br />

I've been itching to get my hands on these beautiful maternity shots taken by <a href="http://www.colemaxfieldphotography.com/" target="_blank">Cole Maxfield Photography</a>. <a href="http://blog.theplannerandherpilot.com/2014/09/happy-happy-happy.html" target="_blank">She took some of us last summer</a> and amazed me, and we were blessed again to get time with her this summer! Especially since she had a newborn baby strapped to her the entire time, and we were just next door to her Rexburg apartment in a tiny field, AND we were super on edge and impatient that day. How she got these out of that.... miracle. Thank you Coley! Can't wait for our bebes to grow up together :)<br />

37 weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's been 3 months since I've written, sadly. Can't believe how fast Spring/Summer have flown by. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My days are filled with sleepy mornings watching Octonauts with Graham, afternoon naps, and trying my best to get anything done to prepare for baby. Jake's been home for over a month which is huge for our family. We've been to Utah, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco, making the most of our time left. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As for the pregnancy, It's been much better than my preeclampsia past. Sleeping isn't easy, my joints ache all over from the added weight. My anxiety combined with hormones have made me a roller coaster of emotions. Lucky for me I have great doctors who have helped so much, not to mention a patient husband who massages my varicose veined legs every night. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm further than I ever was with Graham, and the dream of a normal birth is becoming more and more of a reality. You guys, the thought of experiencing real labor is terrifying me! But my friend from high school is my midwife at a fantastic birthing center, so I can do it. Right? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can't believe any day now I'll have two babies. I'm feeling more ready but still feel like I have so much to do, and guilty that my time with Graham alone will be over. I know that in the end, the Lord has a plan for my little family. That baby will come when it's right and we will love him so much. A year from now he'll have a name, the fear will be gone, and I'll look back with so much gratitude for these brothers and playmates. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For now I just need to be patient and enjoy every second I have left of this pregnancy which includes normal milk less boobs, and sleep, lots of sleep. It's truly such a miraculous thing to grow a human. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I'm nearly half-way through my pregnancy and this is my first post! Shameful. Jake and I found out on Thanksgiving day. I can't say this baby was an accident but it was not entirely planned :) I thought it would take me a while to get pregnant again and I was happily mistaken.<br />
<br />
I took a test in the morning while Jake was still sleeping (that's when I tend to take my pregnancy tests). I went about my business for a few minutes, not thinking there was really any way it was positive. When I turned the test over my hand flew to my mouth in confusion and amazement. After checking it five times, I took a shower, got dressed and brought in Graham, while dad was waking up, I gave G the test and asked him if he wanted to tell Dad he was going to be a big brother. Jake shot up from bed and was just as surprised as we were.<br />
<br />
Since that moment I've had many times I've forgotten I was pregnant. Which seems crazy but when you're chasing a one year old. you tend not to think of it! Over all things have gone smoothly. I thought it was a girl, only because everyone else thought it was, so when I went to visit Jake in Texas, we got a gender test and received another shock, it's a boy! I'm already flashing forward to Graham and his little buddy. They'll be best of friends and partners in crime :)<br />
<br />
We're due July 31st. It'll be a craaaaazy summer.<br />

My wittle sister is getting married. It's been very exciting. We threw her a bridal shower last weekend and had a lot of fun! A special thanks to auntie Mary Jo and Tom for letting us take over their house yet again. Oh, and my apologies to anyone who witnessed my hormone fueled breakdown. Pregnancy + no husband for a month + intense party planning + clingy toddler = lots of tears. But I still throughly enjoyed myself! I had been planning it for a while and wanted it to be perfect, of course, nothing ever is! But Lauren liked it, which is all that matters :) Yay for marriage. And Oreo parfaits.Courtney Kearnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02541823755482219304noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117384641973313612.post-88857190390800525952015-01-21T10:01:00.000-08:002015-01-21T10:24:18.405-08:00Monterey and 15 months<br />

Another trip to the aquarium...<br />
<br />
This weekend I was able to travel ALONE to Las Vegas for my darling sister in law's baby shower. After two boys she's having a girl and us Kearns couldn't resist a sugary sweet and pink party. I flew back into Monterey, somewhere we hadn't visited. Jake picked me up and we had ourselves a mini vacation. Not easy with a running, screaming, throwing toddler but we had a fun time. It's a darling city! We'll definitely need to go back.<br />
<br />
Graham turned 15 months last week, here's what he's up to.<br />
<br />
- says dada, momma, no no no, oh no. sometimes I think he says "stop" and "dog" but I can't be sure.<br />
<br />
- runs around everywhere and greets strangers with some sort of random gibberish, they swoon and high five him.<br />
<br />
- still a very good eater. says "Mmmm"<br />
<br />
-growing about eight teeth right now.<br />
<br />
-sleeps 10-12 hours at night, and one 2 hour nap in the day.<br />
<br />
-does this funny pose where he kicks one leg back.<br />
<br />
-signs "more" "all done" and "please"<br />
<br />
-favorite toy is his diaper bin and his balls.<br />
<br />
-can go down the slide by himself.<br />
<br />
-20 percentile for height and weight and 99 percentile for his big bobble head.<br />
<br />
He is such a happy, beautiful, and brave little boy. Jake and I could not be more in love with his contagious laugh and funny walk. We don't know why we are blessed to be his parents!<br />

Hello there blog world... I've been MIA throughout the Holiday season. It was just too busy and I was too lazy to pull out the camera! Christmas was fantastic but I am definitely ready to move on to 2015. I am feeling eager and excited to start a new year with new goals. At the end of the year I post a review of all of my favorite moments from each month. Click <a href="http://theplannerandherpilot.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-year-in-review-2013.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to see the year before, and <a href="http://theplannerandherpilot.blogspot.com/2013/01/top-twelve.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> for the year before that!<br />

It's been a busy year. Learning to be a Mom has kept me rather occupied. Looking over these photos gets me all choked up, I tend to get so consumed in every day madness that I don't realize how blessed we are. Thanks to everyone who made this year special. I'm beyond excited to see what 2015 has to bring!Courtney Kearnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02541823755482219304noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117384641973313612.post-5698626730076972162014-11-05T21:27:00.001-08:002014-11-05T21:29:44.481-08:00Dreamy Dreamy Disney<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There is something so magical about aquariums...<br />
<br />
We stopped by one in Long Beach on our way to Disneyland and had the best time. Graham was mesmerized by all of the fish and they liked him too! My favorite part was the jelly fish... they are unreal. If I ever get rich I would love a tank of my own. I could watch them all day.Courtney Kearnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02541823755482219304noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117384641973313612.post-79015846336165492822014-10-21T17:33:00.004-07:002014-10-21T18:56:36.402-07:00Graham's First Birthday<br />

Well hello there...<br />
<br />
I've got lots of blogging plans. The problem is I'm running back and forth grabbing dog bones from Graham's mouth and poopy diapers from Riley's. Ohhh what have I done :) It is a beautifully chaotic life I live.<br />
<br />
Little man turned one last week which seemed to come slowly but still managed to smack me in the face. I was unprepared and hung over from our Disney vacation, so we took him to Target to pick out some toys, then gave him a nice piece of corn bread cake. Lame, right? No party... no family or friends... I don't think he minded too much.<br />
<br />
Here's the little film I made of his first year. He is so great.<br />
<br />
-such a good but impatient eater. almost eats everything. LOVES sweet potato tots.<br />
-walking like frankenstein with both arms in the air.<br />
-talking a lot... only it doesn't make sense. I'm still working on mama only every time I try he laughs in my face and spits out "DAD!"<br />
-drinking whole milk and nursing once a day but not for long.<br />
-weighs 20 lbs and measures 29 inches long.<br />
-never took a pacifier.<br />
-still a terrible sleeper, waking up at least once or twice a night.<br />
-loves Yo Gabba Gabba, ugh. I was desperate in the car, okay?<br />
-eight teeth, four on top, four on bottom.<br />
-walks around hitting things and throwing everything. Such a boy.<br />
-loves his dad, soooo much. "I'm so hungry..."<br />

Can't believe how much this little one has grown up in the last three months.<br />
<br />
It's been absolutely amazing having my family back together.<br />
<br />
Last Wednesday I was in the park near our house chatting with some neighbors when I got a call from Jake. Next thing I know he's walking up to me. Shock. I was indeed in shock. No idea he was anywhere close to coming home. And for the next few hours I thought I was hallucinating, because earlier that day I was so exhausted and done with this deployment that such things could happen. But it's been a few days and he's still here so I think I'm sane. Gosh I can't believe my luck. Or his sneakiness.<br />
<br />
In conclusion, I am on top of the world and there are SO many great things ahead. Birthdays, Disneyland, Parties and Halloween! Happy, happy, happy.<br />

I'm home after two months. TWO MONTHS. Good grief it's pretty surreal. My lawn is so dead. Fried. I left a sweet potato on top of the fridge that has grown sprouts at least four inches tall. Gross. As sweet as it is, my heart hurts not having Maizey with us. I knew seeing her stuff would be hard, it helps a little seeing Riley play with it.<br />

<br />
One month ago she was involved in a car accident. It was early on a Saturday morning, my grandpa had taken her out to go to the bathroom when she saw a dog across the street. That's all I know. It was one of the top three worst moments of my life seeing her like that. There was nothing I could do and I'll never forget it. She was the perfect dog and I'll never be able to replace her, but I am so grateful for the three years of unconditional love she gave us.<br />
<br />
Here are some things I'll miss about her....<br />
<br /><br />-The way she'd curl her body when she got excited.<br /><br />-The twitch in her back leg when she'd walk.<br /><br />-How much she loveeeed the park and all of her friends.<br /><br />-Chasing the birds, she was so so fast.<br />
<br />
-Playing hide and go seek with dad.<br />
<br />
- The way she'd jump in the bottom of my stroller instead of walking, lazy pup :)<br /><br />-Snuggling in bed of course.<br />
<br />
<br />
We miss you fluffy pup. Every day. Thanks for being there for me when I needed you most.<br />

I'm slowly healing from a difficult and exhausting weekend.<br />
We lost a member of our little family on Saturday.<br />
I'm grateful for friends and family who have been so supportive.<br />
<br />
Last week those friends and I went to Rigby Lake to soak up some rare sun.<br />
It was one of the last things we did with Maizey. The kids loved watching her swim.<br />
I'll write more about her later when things aren't quite so raw.<br />
For now we'll reflect on the good moments we had with her.<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />This hasn't been the easy going summer I had pictured.<br />
Each of us moms have had some big challenges.<br />
Thankfully we have each other and Bachelor in Paradise.<br />
Ice cream also helps :)<br />

My baby sister McKell came to stay with us this week. It's been dreamy, really. I've been showing her the lovely place that is Northern California. We went and picked out delicious peaches, strawberries, cherries, and many other things at the local fruit stands. On our way home we pulled over and enjoyed one of many sunflower fields around town. Later that night we made my mom's fresh peach pie and watched Dan in Real Life. One of many great days we've had here! So grateful to have her in my life.Courtney Kearnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02541823755482219304noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117384641973313612.post-16761990269560941672014-07-17T22:08:00.000-07:002014-07-17T22:19:57.190-07:00Summer Nights<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Family. Fires. Summer. Watermelon. Homemade Hamburgers. Nutella.<br />
<br />
It's what dreams are made of.<br />
<br />
This night honestly seems surreal... especially now that I'm husband-less and family-less. Sigh...<br />
<br />
So glad that we could snag a blissful, damp, Idaho Falls evening with my family. My heart aches for them.<br />

If you ever want to take a ride up a snow capped mountain and eat a warm waffle at the top, go to Teton Village. What a cute place! They have a large tram that takes you to the top to take in some fantastic views of Jackson. The kids even got to throw a snow ball or two :)</div>

<br />
My nine month old is...<br />
<br />
still breastfeeding, but drinking from a bottle a lot more. He's not biting me as much which makes momma so happy...<br />
<br />
growing lots of fluffy hair that mom is trying to tame in a flat gentlemen-like fashion<br />
<br />
lengthening out, he's getting the Morrison, no butt, big gutt body.<br />
<br />
teething, again! Molars this time... it's been rough, like pull your hair out rough.<br />
<br />
loving his dad. Whenever he walks into the room, Graham smiles the biggest smile and makes some sort of funny remark like it's their inside joke.<br />
<br />
crawling, although he's not a big fan. He'd rather hold on to something and walk around everywhere.<br />
<br />
a big fan of water. Drinking it, splashing it... which is good, because it is so hot! We could sit outside by the water table all day.<br />
<br />
sitting in his highchair like a big boy and eating big boy foods! Still working on picking up the pieces of food. Most of the time he grabs them and smashes them into his face with hopes that a little will get into his mouth.<br />
<br />
waking up once a night, usually around 4-5 am, which is perfectly fine with me for the moment!<br />

The Fourth has never been my favorite holiday. It's always been stressful and hot. This year was the perfect low key family fourth I've been needing.<br />
<br />
After swimming, we had the traditional BBQ then took pictures out back. Jake's friend Travis from VanLadyLove was doing a show in Victor, Idaho down the street so we went and checked them out then did some fireworks in the driveway.<br />

I love this country! Especially Idaho. I love Idaho.<br />

I have a new favorite fourth of july tradition.<br />
<br />
Swimming.<br />
<br />
Rexburg has a fantastic city pool, so we lugged all of our Kearns kiddies and massive cooler full of goodies to the rapids. So much fun. Graham even took a nice long nap in his stroller while I laid in the sun reading People and eating Rainier Cherries. Heaven.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to present tense and Jake's deployment has been pushed back a week. I found out Monday and a few hours later I was in the car driving to California. Now I'm at home in a surreal state of marital bliss. Heavenly Father knew I needed this bonus week with my little family. Feeling so so gratefulCourtney Kearnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02541823755482219304noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117384641973313612.post-37003907825662969592014-07-07T13:15:00.001-07:002014-07-07T13:15:31.951-07:00Snippets from Teton Valley<br />

Snap back to reality.<br />
<br />
Well our family reunion came and went. All twenty-two of the Kearns clan came to my dad's house in Driggs, Idaho. It was a fantastic week filled with games, ice cream, water fights and fireworks and I'm very, very sad it's over. It also didn't help that I drove straight from the cabin to the airport to say goodbye to my husband for three months. Cue mental breakdown.<br />
<br />
So here I go, trying to keep myself busy by blogging and reading Gone Girl. I desperately hope October comes quickly. Sometimes I feel like I'm not cut out for this military wife thing. The hardest part is seeing my baby grow and learn without his dad by my side. I can't believe he'll be nearly one when Jake returns. I can only hope it will make me a stronger woman and mother, and you know what they say... absence makes the heart grow fonder. I love you and miss you so much Jacob Kearns.Courtney Kearnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02541823755482219304noreply@blogger.com0
