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.

Happy Easter

Hannah looked so cute on Easter. It was nice I didn't have to buy a new dress. I found this one on sale last year and she hadn't worn it yet and her Sweet Aunt Vera gave the the sweater. It looked perfect! Hannah and her Daddy have such a special relationship

Brian and Alicya came over to help us color Easter eggs this it was really fun. I found these wonderful egg painters that looked like Q-Tips with dye in the middle. When you cracked the middle it made a perfect paintbrush for Hannah. She had alot of fun and made some beautiful eggs. Her hands looked pretty fantastic as well!

Our first trip to the ER :(

Hannah and I ran some errands this morning. Our first stop was Hobby Lobby here in Broomfield, CO. While there I was walking a little ahead of Hannah when I heard her trip. Which I wasn't worried about because it seemed to be happening hourly. She started to cry so I turned around to see her still on the floor. When she lifted her head to look at me I saw a large hole in her forehead above her right eyebrow. It then started to bleed really badly down her face. (People aren't kidding when they say head wounds bleed really really bad!) She had been wearing a plastic beaded necklace when she fell and it had been the only thing to come between her head and the super hard floor of the store. I picked her up and ripped of the necklaces. I didn't have anything to help the bleeding so I lifted her sweater up and applied pressure to the wound. Luckily there was a woman in the isle to help me. We ran from the store calling Seth and telling him to meet us at the ER. Luckily the nice woman who helped me had a bandage to stop the bleeding while on my way to the hospital. It was so so sad. I called our doctor (Doctor Nelson) to see if he did stitches, which he did so we headed in. Our favorite Nurse (Nurse Brenda) met us at the door and helped get Hannah situated for Doc. Brenda got the ouchie cleaned and ready for Doc. However Doctor Nelson took one look at the wound and sent us down to the ER to have a plastic Surgeon take care of putting it back together. This hospital has a statue of Jesus with children. our little Hannah even in so much pain looked and said "there's Jesus" as we passed. She is so precious. So we got into the ER and then the plastic surgeon got her all numbed up and ready for stitches. They wrapped her in a white sheet and had Seth, myself and another nurse hold her down for the stitches. It was so painful to watch. Our little baby could see everything and screamed and screamed. It broke our hearts! She was so worn out and when the doctor said "alright we are done" Hannah said "Tank You" What a sweetie. I hope we never have to go through that again. Funny thing is that when we got home she wanted to put the necklaces right back on. A girl thru and thru! Hannah ended up with 6 stitches.

Hannah and Pappa

This year we invited a bunch of Hannah's friends to celebrate her 2nd birthday at Pump It Up. It has some super fun jumpy castles and slides. It was so much fun. Hannah loved it. It turned out to be a fun family outing for us. Nanna and Pappa came from Nevada and Moochelle and Chris came from Illinois. It made Hannah feel special to see all of her friends. Thanks to everyone who came. We had 2 hours of jumping fun and then had cup cakes and pizza. We are so grateful for our Hannah. She is so special and makes life so wonderful.
