Happy Anniversary/Mothers day!

So this year I got to share Willey and my 7th Anniversary with mothers day. I hate to admit but it wasn't what I had hoped, but none the less doesn't change the fact that I love willey more today than ever and I am so grateful for all he does to provide for me and the boys. He has an unconditional love that he gives me and he is my biggest supporter and my biggest fan! I am also so grateful to be a mom and that we have a special day just for us to let us know how we are loved just for being a mom :)!! I hope you all had a fantastic mothers day!! :)!
Things seem to always be hectic don't they? I have been really trying to slow down, with everything from my driving to my temper. When I went in to see the Dr last week my blood pressure was super high, and thats weird for me, and she said I need to start learning to relax and not get so stressed out about every little thing. Those dishes will be there tomorrow as well as the laundry. So deep breathe and I have to admit I have been feeling better with trying to relax. I also had to get some blood work done, I have been feeling pretty tired and just not quite right and it turns out that my thyroid is out of whack. This also maybe the reason for all the hard working out and eating right and no weightloss. So hopefully that will get fixed. Also my vitamin D was low, and I have a hard time drinking milk. I tried almond milk and really just couldnt see myself pouring a glass of that everyday. I like soy milk (flavored) but so does everyone else in this house and its too expensive to just drink a gallon a day. So I will have to work on that one. I am not a good pill taker, and between the thyroid meds and my prenatal vitamin I don't know if I can add a vitamin D to it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated :)! And Willey is FINALLY off of work today for 7 WHOLE days!! And its the Father and Sons outing tomorrow which makes me glad to have all boys for now :)!! I am looking forward to some serious me time tomorrow and saturday!!

So its back to life, which isn't slow by any means, but I feel like ok, now what ha ha. I stopped doing the HCG diet, I was not feeling well on it at all and did lose about 9lbs, but I would rather lose weight the natural and healthier way than feel like I am starving ha ha. It worked well for others but just too much for my body. I also went to the dr and she was just so pleased at the amount of weight I had lost since having Zack and that is always a boost to your confidence when the dr thinks you are doing good right?
We got to go to the temple open house on Friday with my parents and Grandma Ullery and it also happened to be her 81st birthday, so I thought it was pretty special (she is not a member of the church), and I just couldn't believe how peaceful it was there and just how beautiful it all was inside. Willey and I haven't been to the temple in such a long time that I am just so EXCITED for it to finally be open. Pre-kids we were able to go to the Mesa temple at least once a week and we looked forward to that time so much and our lives just seemed to be simpler then and I really think that had a lot to do with it. When you are living our life the way our heavenly father has asked and are there at the temple feeling his love and spirit all around you its hard not to want to live the best we can so that we can be in that celestial glory with him, and meet all those that we have done work for. I just feel blessed to be able to live in a community that now has a temple and plan on once again making it our weekly goal to attend!
