The Lytle FAMILY

You know you've been way to busy and invested in life when you don't even think to take your phone out and snap some pictures. 
So Karyssa, member my friend from high school that got baptized then we had a temple date with our husbands? Well she text me after that temple date and said hey, you know teylor and kristie from volleyball? (Side note: my husband and I go play volleyball with some new friends and Nu'us cousin Sione at the church on Thursdays and Fridays, but also we hadn't missed a game of my sisters since her season started) so my mind instantly went to watching my sister play, so I replied, centennial? She said no from Thursdays and Fridays? I said OHHHHHH well I know Teylor? Because for 2 months I didn't know Kristie's name was Kristie because at volleyball she is known as "coach". We'll come to find out Kristie is Karyssa's mother-in-law and Teylor is her sister-in-law! Mind blown I know. So Kristie had already told me she was bringing us an invite to the wedding next week at volleyball. So she brought one for me to go to the shower as well! So then of course leaving the shower (where Karyssa and I decided we're new best friends and had a blast) we are talking about the bachelorette party which I ended up going to also. Karyssa and I went shopping together for gifts. I hate shopping. It was the best time I ever had shopping....so many laughs! Then of course leaving the bachelorette party we are talking about helping setting up the next morning for the wedding (which I offered my husband for too). So we spent all day Friday helping set up. Let me just tell you, I've never met a family to completely steal my heart quite as fast as the Lytles! They are just priceless. So since my husband worked Saturday morning I got to go to the sealing with Karyssa and Bubba. I still haven't decided if that was a good idea or not ;) Riding with family? 2 hours of pictures after? What a blast!! At least it wasn't 117° outside! So then of course leaving the sealing we are asking when to be back at the church to help with last minute stuff and the ring ceremony. I helped with the walking music for the BEAUTIFUL ceremony. THEN, finally, it was time to party! I hadn't looked at my phone all day and all night. We danced and danced and danced. Never took a picture with the stunning bride. Never took a picture of the unbelievable decor. Never took a picture with my husband. Just this, which I think is all we needed....
We have had some fun, priceless, memories already and I can't wait for a ton more! To our newest couple friends! :)

From day one...my breastfeeding journey!

Image
On Friday: October 10, 2014, I became a mom to the most handsome little brown boy I had ever seen. Since I was adopted, my mom was one of my biggest supporters to the idea of breastfeeding. She never got to experience that and she wanted to make sure I did! It was VERY important to me that I breastfed as it was something I always dreamed of doing. On October 13 (day 4) we visited our pediatrician for the first time. She was my pediatrician as a child and I absolutely love her and recommend her to EVERYONE! While there, she asked me how Charlie was latching and being brand new to this experience, I figured any problems I was having at this point were just as much me as they were him, since we were both learning. At this point I was not having any pain, cracking or bleeding, and I didn't realize that Charlie was not eating well. After I answered her she responded with "I just asked because he's a little tongue tied". I had absolutely no clue what that meant, that it cou...

SAVOR

This is the fourth year I have chosen to forgo the idea of resolutions and instead choose a word of the year! A word that I want to define my year. A word to keep in mind that will encourage growth and understanding.. Last year my word was EMBRACE . I couldn't have chosen a better word for the year. I learned so much about the gospel, my marriage, and myself. I learned to embrace anything and everything that comes with being pregnant. The good and the bad. I learned to embrace the trials I may face in life for the purpose that I will learn something from every single one. I learned to embrace my changing body and the miraculous things it would do before, during, and after labor. I learned to embrace the pain and trial that came with breastfeeding as well as learning how having a tongue tied baby is, how to fix it, and what to do next. We bought a new home, Nu'u enrolled in school that he will start in 2 weeks, and we have both learned what it really means to be in love, wi...

BRONCOS!!

Image
Before football season even started my husband and I had 2 serious arguments about who he was gonna be a fan of. I'm a die hard Broncos fan and he's not necessarily a fan of anyone. He doesn't know football he knows rugby (which I'm okay with). He's always known that I'm a sports JUNKY and that I'm a huge broncos fan so when we talked about it in the past he talked about being a broncos fan and how I need to teach him football. Sounds good to me right? First football season together is gonna be a blast?! Till he found out why I actually was introduced to the broncos....the kid who was my first kiss (14 years old) was from Denver and his family is Broncos fans...of course. So for Christmas that year he bought me a broncos hoodie. So I started watching the games. By myself. Becoming a fan. By myself. And staying a fan even after that "relationship" was over. By myself. No problem right?! Yeah right! I wouldn't call my husband the jealous type (ha...
