Reece is 1!

Reece,

You are a year old! We cannot believe it! We cannot wait to continue watching you grow up right before our eyes. You are 31 inches (83 %), 24 pounds 9 ounces (87%), and have a giant 99 % head. You are still crawling and are cruising on furniture but not showing a whole lot of interest in walking. You are working on saying new sounds and always want to do what your big brothers are doing. You have started whole milk and sippy cups and are doing great. We love you sweet boy so much!

A day in the life of a SAHM

I was thinking today how I have sat down for maybe an hour total all day. All days are not this crazy, but here is an example of what one of these busy days looks like. I want to document it so one day I will look back and think "no wonder I was always so tired" and "no wonder I didn't talk on the phone much during the day."

6:45-Brady poops and needs help wiping 
6:50-get Reece out of his crib and change his diaper and put him in clothes
7:00-lay our clothes for boys, they get dressed, then we head downstairs to eat breakfast 
7:15-7:50-make Reece a bottle, put breakfast on plates and high chair tray, pour drinks, clean up breakfast, make coffee, wipe the baby down, wash out the bottle, wipe the table, I finally eat
7:50- change Reece's poop and kiddos play for a minute, start a load of laundry, start the dishwasher 
8-Grant leaves to do sound at church (I stayed back with the boys since Owen was sick)
8-8:45-watch Veggie Tales and play with Reece, then talk about the lesson and pray with them 
8:50-put Reece down for a nap
8:55-do a workout DVD (Owen and Brady wanted to do it with me)
9:40-finish workout and take a quick shower while putting on a show for Owen and Brady
9:55-Reece wakes up from his nap because Brady opened his door and he and Owen were being extra loud 
9:55-11-sit on the floor and play with the boys
11-give Reece a bottle
11:15-make lunch for the boys, clean up lunch, I eat, put clothes in dryer, wash out bottle, wipe off table, play with boys a little bit 
12:30-put boys down for naps, put up laundry, start another load of laundry, pick up a little bit, empty trash cans, clean bathrooms, dusted upstairs
1:30-2:15-I actually relaxed and watched a show 
2:15-Brady and Owen woke up (Owen napped due to needing rest from fever)
2:30-Reece woke up and boys start playing
3-make a bottle, get snacks and drinks and bring them upstairs
3:05-boys watch a movie and Grant hangs out with Reece while I vacuum the stairs, bedrooms and bathrooms (cleaned all downstairs a couple days ago)
4:00-Grant vacuums the play room and I put up another load of laundry
4:20-head downstairs to start dinner, get Owen's 
5:30-serve dinner, eat dinner, clean up dinner, wipe table and counters, make Reece a bottle
6:20-boys get a bath from Grant while I pick out Owens clothes for tomorrow, lay out pjs, get toothpaste on toothbrushes, and get meds ready
6:45-read to boys, give Reece a bottle, pray with them, talk about our days, and put them to sleep
7:15-me time and me-Grant time
