I know you all think that I've forgotten you by now. The weather is warm, skies are blue and sunny, and I'm just living it up in good' ol Phoenix. Most of that is true, but I'm getting a little bored honestly. My sister-in-law is moving here this weekend, so that will be fun, and we might be moving into a home next week. We have been staying with my aunt and uncle out here. Luckily they are bunch of hilarious people who keep us laughing, but they have lives and teenagers. Easton and I have been watching a lot of Nick Jr. My hubby is always working, looking good while he does it.
And Easton, sweet little Easton, is sometimes the pain in my neck. Jami, counsel me, will ya? Tell me how to not yank my hair out at my innocent little two-year old who in his short little life has managed to master the art of torturing his mother. He is sometimes so mean to me, and all I do is love him. He is the sweetest thing a lot of times, and his heart is so big and good. He's got so much love in it. But how do I teach this little guy to stop hitting me and kicking me? Oh yeah, and stop hitting yourself with hard objects when you're mad. Don't bite the countertops, and if you do don't cry to me that your teeth hurt. Don't scream baby profanities at the top of your lungs at your mother who held you in her womb for all those months. Why is changing your diaper such a bad thing? Why is everything that I ask you not to do simply a ridiculous request that passes from one ear and out the other? I love you with all my heart, my sweet little boy, but tell me how to teach you and rear you and lead you in the right direction. That's what I would say to him, but he's 2. I might as well ask the wall. I would not trade him for the world. I don't want him to be a better child - I just need to know how to be a better mother.
I promise that the pictures I've taken are yet to come. So for now, you'll have to read or move on to a more interesting blog.

I think you should print this post on a paper, save it and give it to Easton someday when has a two year old of his own! Maybe then you can get a good lauch out of it! :)Seriously, what is up with them?? Emma is so sweet, but EVERYTHING is 'no'. Even the things she likes! I don't get it. And she is SOO demanding!! I think every parent feels like this: You love them to death, but they drive you crazy! :)
It's fun to read how you're doing. And I have one comment to your question on how to be a better mom. You're already doing it. You just love him. (I can only say that since I've felt the same way.)
I am jealous of how nice the weather is down there. Easton is so cute, he will grow out of it. I know it is hard to hear because you want him out right now, but trust me - if you keep loving him and teaching him to make good choices, it will sink in and things will be better! You seem to be doing everything right!
I am so glad you actually posted a message. I was almost going to take a road trip to check up on ya! Okay, well I am glad all is well. I can't wait to see all those fun pictures! Good luck with the house hunting.
Raachel,
It's so good to hear your voice in type again! We miss you terribly around here! But, glad to hear things a going well over there! Can't wait for some pics and more posts!
Lots of love,
Summer
Rachel- how about we switch for awhile. You get Regan walking and talking, and I will get Easton to quit hitting!! Just kidding, you would probably hold up your end of the bargain, but I don't know that I would be a lot of help. Remember to just hold on...it will pass. We miss you! The ink on your house sign bled b/c of the rain. Do you want us to fix it? Have adam call Jon if you do.
