Hectic Sunday

Sunday's are always a little hectic in our home, like I'm sure it is in others! Tyler gets off work early that morning, so sleeps until the very last minute. Meanwhile Ridge and I are up. Ridge watching me and playing in the bathroom as I do my hair and makeup, but also making sure mom has a lot of distractions! 

Today we were running late! Actually to be honest, we are always late. No matter how hard I try:( But back on track. We sat out in the foyer. Then Tyler and I tried nursery for Ridge so that we could go to Sunday school! It was great. I got to listen to the lesson, Tyler got to catch up on some sleep (he got off at 4 am, church at 9 am), and Ridge? He did GREAT in nursery!! Didn't care that we left him and the teachers said he was so fun and good. Thank goodness! 

Once we got home, we tried putting Ridge down for a nap. Lately, however, he has been trying to refuse ANY sleep!! Oh my goodness, does it drive a momma crazy. So I called my mom. And cried to her. And complained. And then she said to just go lay him down after telling him that "I love him but he is staying in the room to have a nap!" Then go downstairs and watch tv. So I did just that. And after crying, he finally FELL ASLEEP!!!! 

And the heavens rejoiced! 

Then I cried for feeling guilty for leaving Ridge in the room to fall asleep after crying. 

Then (long story short) a stupid, bratty, high school loser girl EX-client got the axe. For good! Because she is scum trying to con people. Then I informed some salon owners not to ever work on this girl! I win:) loser girl loses! 

We've had an exciting day! 

And we got moving boxes so that I can start packing. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Every step closer to getting the house. 

Now I'm going to go cuddle my man and watch a movie, THEN PASS OUT! My bed is calling my name. 

Oh and peak on Ridge after he's fallen asleep and been out for a good two hours! Because that's the best. 

Goodnight.

Park day!!

I feel like we haven't been going out as often because it's been so hot and draining. But the last couple days, the weather has been beautiful. Raining and cloudy. Just gorgeous. So today before it could really start raining, we enjoyed some fun. 
Tyler and Ridge played at the playground while I set up our blanket in the shade! Then after swinging, they came back. Ridge went off adventuring, then Tyler went! They found a beetle and Ridge was trying to squash him and move him with a stick! Thankfully I was far away! I can't handle bugs. 
Tyler was throwing little acorns at Ridge and I! Ridge LOVES sticks. And rocks. And pretty much everything. Total kid!
Ridge trying to catch the acorns that Tyler was throwing at us. Haha! I love this stance!! 
Ridge likes to swing like big kids and on laps too. But those baby swings, forget it!!

Well since I got this Blogger app on my phone, I see it all the time and feel like I need to constantly write! It's nice, except when it's only been a few days since I last blogged and have nothing to say! Haha. You'll basically be hearing from me a lot more. 

Adios!

Exciting news and journey ahead!

So our Forsberg family has been so very busy since my last post. Cutie Ridge turned ONE in April. I have a one year old!! And not only that, but he is 16 months old now! We had a little family get together for his birthday. Just my parents, my sister Verity, her husband Jake and their cutie pie Gwen. We had smoked meat and steamed asparagus! Then OBVIOUSLY cake and ice cream. Our local Bashas sent a coupon for a free birthday cake for Ridge. It was great! We all had fun. 

But that was April. So what's been going on since then? Well... We found out we are expecting another little baby. CRAZY!!  We are so very excited to be welcoming another baby. But we didn't find out what we were having for a long time. Just look at the pictures below to find out!! 

July was also a busy month. My oldest sister Sarah blessed their new little addition the first Sunday of July! So Tyler, Ridge and I drive all through the night literally. Tyler got off work that Sunday morning at 3 am, then I drove like mad to Yuma. We slept for a bit, then got up as late as we could to still be able to get ready AND make it to church at 9 am! It was rough! But I'm so glad we did go:) well we drive back that same day to Mesa to rest up, but halfway there, neither Tyler, nor I, could make it safely back. So we had my mom drive me and my dad drive my handsome boys. 

That Monday, my Grandma Aenone W. Christensen passed away. I was very sad. I am still sad. But also very happy to know that she is reunited with my Grandpa! So we had her funeral on Saturday, July 18th. It was beautiful. And there was no singing of I AM A CHILD OF GOD! Lol! She did NOT want that song sung at her funeral. Her casket was beautiful and the flowers were pink. Because she loved pink so much, we also all wore pink. It was great seeing her legacy! 

That brings us to August. We have been trying to buy a house. Holy cow it is a long process. Ive been stressed and these pregnancy hormones make me quite sad at times. Hopefully it all works out.  Anyways! That's what we've been up to! 

ANNNNND I just got this app to help me update my blog more frequently, since my computer takes 30 minutes to turn on and an hour to upload pictures. And this makes it so easy! I'm excited! 
Pictures start with Ridge's birthday and end with what we are having!!!
Ridge's free birthday cake!

My little ham soaking up the spotlight.
No waiting here! He dove right in!
 
Yep! He sure loved that cake.
He did NOT want to be by this tree.
Here is Grandma (great to Ridge)! 
Oh yeah!!! We went to Idaho. We were constantly out and about. We went to the Boise mall, the Boise zoo (this at the petting farm), but mainly to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa Forsberg's 50th wedding anniversary!
The grandsons singing at Grandma AWC's funeral.

That's all for now! I'm excited to be using this app!
