This Sunday was so productive which was AMAZING! In the morning, we woke up early and headed to our cousin Chito's farewell in West Jordan. He's going to El Salvador for two years. He's the sweetest, most genuine boy ever.
We went to brunch afterwards at the Bastidas' and hung out with all the family there. In the first picture is June's second cousin (we think), Emma. She's a little less than two weeks younger than June and looking at two of them, June looks like a monster! Haha she is so tall in comparison to Emma. But it's so fun to look at two babies side by side. I'm excited that June will always have little friends and cousins her age. It's also great being in the same stage of motherhood as Jessica. It takes a village not only to raise babies but to be a mom - you need someone to talk to, you need someone to cope with you!!
When we got home, we cleaned the whole house while June took a 3 hour nap (we're spoiled!). We collected eggs together and just sat next to each other on the couch chit-chatting . . . 3 hours of no baby talk from the both of us was pretty special! Jake and I have both been feeling SO happy lately! People will ask how we've been doing and we both say, "We're doing great!" We're out of the newborn funk, we've settled into a routine (that's about to get mixed up pretty soon when Jake's out of school but oh well), and our marriage is genuinely amazing.
At night, we've been getting alone time and Jake says, "No phones, let's just chit chat!" Haha and the best part about it is we're usually in bed by 8:30 or 9:00 snuggling June, getting her in the rock n play, and then just hanging out.
We finally found time to sort out our spring/summer and fall/winter clothes and try to get our closet and dresser a little better organized. We found homes for things in our room that have just been sitting on top of the dresser or laying on the floor for FOREVER, which feels so amazing! De-cluttering makes me feel like a whole new person, and I know Jake feels the same way! I also put a few things up for sale on Facebook Marketplace that I've been needing to get rid of so clearing up shelf space with our limited storage is so freeing!
We decided we wanted to make burgers for dinner on the fire pit outside and that decision was a GOOD one because the burgers turned out amazing! I don't know what it is about food over fire, but I ate two burgers and probably could've eaten three. June slept in this wrap while I cut up tomatoes and onions, sliced cheese, and cooked bacon for the burgers (we went all out)! When she falls asleep on me, I seriously melt inside. She is the sweetest girl, and having a baby in the house really makes you change the way you look at life.
