Mission Reunion

This weekend we traveled to Provo Utah as a family for our mission reunion. We took it really easy and only drove half way there the first night so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. We stopped in Grand Junction, Colorado for the night. Seth got us a room at the Double Tree Hotel for the night. It was really nice. Because we go there around 8 pm we decided to just order room service instead of going out. It was so much fun we all sat on the floor and ate our dinner. It was like a slumber party. Hannah had so much fun. The next morning she woke us up ad said ok it's time to go back home. She is so cute, she thought that we drove all that way to sleep over and then go home.

Once in Provo we met up with Heath and Rebecca Westfall and their kids for dinner and then they took us on a super fun tour of the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. Hannah loved it all.

We were then able to meet with some of the missionaries we served with in Ontario and Elder and Sister Sybrowsky. They are so inspiring. Sister Sybrowsky talked about making the time for daily scripture study and how it is a decision you need to make and then do it. That time is not just going to appear, but that I need to make it. It is so true.

New Pink Bike

Hannah got a new bike today. She loves it! We took her to the park and she had so much fun.

moments

One of my favorite moments with Hannah was today. I am potty training Hannah this week. She is doing so good. We were outside eating popsickles and enjoying the beautiful weather. Hannah was standing there with a dirty little face and tank top and Elmo panties. She looked at me and gave me the sweetest smile and my heart melted. I was so filled with love for this little girl. I am so blessed to be her momma. I love her so so much.

These little happy moments are what makes life so wonderful.

4th of July

This 4th of July was so much fun. Hannah, Seth, and I went to the Broomfield Commons park and joined in the celebration. Hannah loved the petting zoo and really enjoyed riding on the pony. She did really good and sat so still while a nice lady painted beautiful stars on her face. We ended the day enjoying some popsickles. Yum :)

Birthday party and Hospital

We went to Loveland Colorado to a birthday party for Hannah's friend Mariah Perez. The party was really fun. They rented a large blow-up water slide that Hannah couldn't seem to get enough of, she also discovered a love for a trampoline. We had a good time. When we were getting ready to leave I was packing up our bag when I realized that Hannah had gone upstairs to use the bathroom. I heard her call "Mommy!" and there was panic in her voice. I rounded the corner to see her at the top of the stairs with her hand held out to me. Her thumb was seriously cut and bleeding down her arm. I ran upstairs to find that then homeowner had left a pink razor blade (used for shaving legs) on the floor of the bathroom and Hannah thought it was a toy. So so sad!! It took over an hour to get the bleeding to stop and a trip to the Loveland ER to have it put back together with some medical glue. Needless to say I was not impressed. Turned out to be the most expensive birthday party we have ever attended.

Trek

Hannah loved to play with our head lamps from trek


Nanna came out to watch Hannah while Seth and I went on the Pioneer Trek for our Stake. The Trek was so much fun. The spirit was so powerful as we walked where the pioneers walked. The weather very unpredictable. Which made the experience all the more meaningful. We had cold and rain and even got to see 3 tornadoes in the distance. We had the most wonder family who really loved each other and worked together without any complaining. Seth and I didn't know any of the kids who were in our family and through the entire experience we felt those specific kids were put in our family by inspiration. There was Kelsey, Kody, Kavika, Stephen, Nichole, and Curtis. They will all do wonderful things in life. It was so special to witness the growth in their testimonies as they served each other and followed the footsteps of those who came before. I hope that our children will all take the opportunity to go on trek.

Spaghetti-O's and sun bathing. Do I really need to say anything else.
