We extended the trip because of the funeral obviously. The airline charged us $200 per ticket to change! Can you believe that?! Supposedly they will refund us the money since there was a death in the family. I had to send in a copy of the death certificate so we are still waiting to hear about that.<br />
<br />
At 1 p.m. Stacie, my mom, and I went to the funeral home to dress Grandma in her temple clothes. It was a very different experience to say the least. It didn't bother me to see her. I knew that her spirit was elsewhere and in a good place so I wasn't worried about her. I've seen bodies before in anatomy class so maybe that helped. We put her temple clothes on. The funeral director was able to give us some helpful pointers (he's LDS). Stacie and I were able to put on Grandma's makeup. We brought her own makeup from her house so we knew it would look good. Once we got her foundation on and gave her color she looked just like grandma. I also painted her nails. We figured she would like that. She had just gotten a pedicure that looked really good but no one would see that!<br />
<br />
After that, we went over to the Vaughn's house to feed the horses. Their neighbor's have three horses that Volcom loves to feed and I thought my girls would like it too. They have three horses- one little pony, a medium size horse, and a very large horse! Just look at that guy! Colin looks short compared to the horse. Speaking of Colin, he held Owen most of the time we were there. Jill and Colin drove him over in their car too. Owen didn't even care his parents were there. He really liked Colin this trip!<br />

Anna was afraid to feed the horse at first. They do have rather large teeth and mouths!<br />

Volcom had no problems feeding the horses since he's done it many times. The kids especially liked feeding the pony since it was smaller.</div>

I don't think Macy ever fed the horse straight from her hand. She mostly threw the carrot through the fence for the horse to eat from the ground.</div>

After leaving the house we drove over to Grandpa Seymour's to spend more time with him. He wanted to see his great grandkids one more time before we left. I fed Owen in this high chair. He's the third generation to have used it. Grandpa said he bought it at a yard sale and fixed it up for his kids. It's in amazing condition! Owen looked happy to be in it!</div>

I had another fun night spending it with grandpa, my siblings, my parents, and cousins. It made me realize we don't see each other often enough! I loved the feeling I had that we all were in the most important place that night. No one wanted to be anywhere else. We had fun looking through some of grandma's things and taking things we wanted. Macy came home with a bag full of stuff!</div>

<u>January 2- </u> Grandma's funeral. The family viewing started at 10 a.m. I had Macy and Anna with me since Ja was waiting in the car with napping Owen. Macy really wanted to see grandma in the casket so I took them both up there. Grandma had a fork in her hand and naturally Macy was curious about this. Grandma always said she wanted to be buried with a fork in her hand. She said oftentimes people say, "Keep your fork! The best is yet to come!" So she wanted a fork knowing there are better things to come to her.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">The funeral service was a wonderful time celebrating Grandma. Dorothy had Owen in the back, Macy sat by Jill, and Anna was with me. All three of them were great! </span></div>

Aunt Kathy shared a story of Grandma and Kevin. Grandma asked Jill what she wanted for Christmas and she replied with a my size barbie doll. Kevin (who was a teenager) said he wanted a my size barbie doll too. Kevin opened his present at Christmas and it was a regular barbie doll and grandma put a post-it note on the box that read: Just add water.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My dad shared a funny story he still remembers about Grandma. He was a young boy sitting on the floor coloring with Grandma. They were watching TV and a no smoking commercial came on with the famous red circle with a line through it. Grandma then drew a red circle around half of the coloring page and drew a line through it. She said, "There, now you don't have to color half of the picture!" That's grandma's humor for you.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My Uncle Eric took some pictures of the graveside service. It was a beautiful service and the funeral director shared a story I liked a lot. It went something like this: There is an Indian tribe that "initiates" a boy into a man when the time comes by having him sit it blindfolded in one spot all night long. He can hear the wild animals around him, hear sticks cracking nearby, but he must remain blindfolded and sitting in one spot. When the sun rises the next day he removes the blindfold to see his father sitting right next to him. The father was with his son all night long for protection. The funeral director said this story relates to grandma because although we can't see her she is always with us, protecting us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few people stood up and said some remarks about Grandma. Macy kept telling me I should tell everyone about my memories of being at Grandma's house for Christmas. I had told Macy about them a few days earlier. She must have been feeling the Spirit but didn't want to talk in front of everyone so she made me do it :)</div>

But I also loved it.<br />
<br />
<u>December 27</u>- 4:30 a.m. I hear the phone ring. It rings and rings but my parents don't answer it. (I thought my mom had a phone right by her bed. Turns out they got rid of that.) I hear the answering machine go off. It's Grandpa Seymour saying Grandma is in the hospital. I think about answering it but then think there's nothing I can do about her so I'll try to go back to sleep.<br />
<br />
Then Owen wakes up crying. I'm begging him to go back to sleep in my mind. He doesn't so I go in his room to try to get him back to sleep. While I'm in there the phone rings again. Someone else leaves a message but I can't make out the words.<br />
<br />
The phone rings and third time. I decided someone really wants to talk to us so I answered it. It was Grandpa again. He was crying. He said Grandma is in the hospital and she's not going to make and I need to tell my dad. That startles me awake. I tell my parents and they rush off to the hospital.<br />
<br />
I told them to assess the situation when they get there and let me know if I should also come to see Grandma one last time. About 5:30 a.m. I get a text from my mom I should come and Kenny should come with me. I left Owen (who never fell back asleep) with Ja and frantically try to get a hold of Kenny who is sleeping across the street. Finally at 6 I'm able to get through to Elle. Kenny and I race to the hospital. We found out Stacie was also on her way over.<br />
<br />
We enter the room and encounter a very somber situation. Grandma was in a coma on her bed. Grandpa was in a chair next to her. Aunt Kathy and Aunt Steve were on the couch. No one was saying anything. I think we were all in shock. Aunt Kathy said she thought she was coming to the hospital with Grandma and would go home later that afternoon just like they've done before.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I took this picture of my hand with Grandma. I always thought our wedding rings were similar so I wanted to have one last picture of them together.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWwXcB7MlOP6hTuy_6hEmCCA6wqzDPbHtB4NSGmsTCyiCWZvdYcFSuChWmK2y2Z-go9IzO2z2unYMIki5s2H6gpld1-9aomLSNpXxViMegOfMha_DM10_tEoH1bdxhL1zPXKNMK0KOr6pw/s1600/IMG_4767.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWwXcB7MlOP6hTuy_6hEmCCA6wqzDPbHtB4NSGmsTCyiCWZvdYcFSuChWmK2y2Z-go9IzO2z2unYMIki5s2H6gpld1-9aomLSNpXxViMegOfMha_DM10_tEoH1bdxhL1zPXKNMK0KOr6pw/s320/IMG_4767.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Grandma fell around 3:30 a.m. Grandpa helped her up and tried to get her back to bed when she started vomiting. He called 911. She was alert and talking when they took her in for a CT scan. After the scan she went into a coma. The CT scan showed she had a brain aneurysm. We don't know if the fall caused it for if she already had the aneurysm and that's what caused the fall.<br />
<br />
Of course we were all very surprised by this because we had seen her two days before and she was happy and healthy. Aunt Kathy said grandma cooked dinner on Christmas.<br />
<br />
Eventually Stacie, Lisa, Griff, Delany, Ja, Elle, Landon, Randy come to the hospital. Jill was able to get a flight that came in at 1pm so Ja picked her up. Kevin was able to come in that evening as well. We were all able to spend a lot of time reminiscing about Grandma and the fun times we had growing up together. I had Grandpa tell the story of how he and Grandma met and how he knew she was the one he wanted to marry.<br />
<br />
The mood in the room got better as the day went on. However, Grandma did not get better. When I got there that morning she would move her legs a little and seemed to have life in her. As the day progressed she stopped moving and once Ja got there he felt she was already gone.<br />
<br />
Throughout the day some people from Grandpa's ward came to visit. President Williams who is in their stake presidency came with Grandpa's bishop. President Williams was the bishop when Aunt Karen passed away and has helped Grandpa and Grandma come back to church. They were able to give Grandpa a blessing. I'm so mad at myself that I didn't record it. President gave a powerful blessing about the atonement and coming to Christ so Grandpa doesn't feel lonely.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Everyone decided to go home around 8 p.m. We all needed sleep and no one had any idea how long Grandma would stay alive. My parents stayed at the hospital so Aunt Kathy could go home and shower. Then she would return. As my siblings and I were walking out of the hospital I said I hoped Grandma would go soon for Grandpa's sake. It's hard waiting around not knowing how long to wait. She wasn't on any life support. Kenny and I were driving home together when we got a call at 8:15. Grandma had taken her last breath. I couldn't believe that it was minutes after we all said our good-byes to her. The nurse told my mom that happens a lot. The family says good-bye for the night then the person leaves. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It took me a long time to fall asleep that night because I was thinking about Grandpa. How would it be not having your wife around after being married for 57 years?</div>
<br />
Thankfully Ja was able to drop the kids off at Dorothy's house so I could spend the day with Grandma and my family. After he got them settled he picked up Jill and came to the hospital too. I was so grateful to know my children were being taken care of someone who loves them. That made staying at the hospital all day so much easier for me. Dorothy even sent me some pictures. They discovered Owen loves spaghetti! He inhales the stuff!<br />

Mostly I wanted to be with family again after the somehow enjoyable day yesterday. Again, we enjoyed being together and thinking about Grandma and her life. She was a kind, loving woman who always helped those around her.<br />
<br />
We took a short break from Grandpa's because Aunt Kathy was having a hard time with losing her mom. We decided to visit Aunt Karen's grave which is a few minutes away.<br />

We ate Inn-in-out for lunch and just stayed at Grandpa's house. I loved being all together with no worries of needing to be somewhere else. No one was trying to leave, no one was pulling on my pant leg. It was so enjoyable to just be together.<br />

Ja brought the kids back to Yorba Linda that night because they were asking for me. I helped put them to bed.<br />

<br />
<u>December 28-</u> My parents wanted us to have somewhat of a normal day today. I took the girls to get real donuts at Kenny' donuts. They were so good and I can't believe we didn't go back again!<br />
<br />
It started out with a visit to the CVS minute clinic. Macy had been complaining about her ear hurting for a couple days and last night she was up a lot crying about it. I took her in and she did have an ear infection. We picked up an antibiotic and were on our way home. We didn't have to wait too long but Anna kept herself busy playing with the little cars at CVS.<br />

After Owen's nap we headed over to Downtown Disney for beignets. We had fried dough for breakfast so why not have more for a snack! They were hot right out of the frier. I don't think I've had them that fresh before because these beignets were extra delicious! Even Owen enjoyed them.<br />

We walked around for a little bit and played at the Lego store. We didn't stay very long because Elle was at home with Landon napping and we didn't want her to be alone for too long.<br />

Oh, the girls went shopping for maternity clothes for Jill. We went to Kohls because Grandma Seymour had Kohls cash in her wallet. We all decided Jill needed it to buy maternity clothes because she didn't have any!<br />
<br />
I know Colin drove in from Utah that night. We had to switch around kids so Jill and Colin could have a room. Macy, Anna, and I were in a bedroom together. The first night I slept on the floor while the girls were on the bed. After that Anna slept on the floor and Macy and I slept on the bed. Ja and Owen were in the other room together. Owen would start off in the pack n' play but Ja would bring him into bed when he woke up in the middle of the night.<br />
<br />
<u>December 31</u>- New Year's Eve! The whole Seymour clan drove out to Pasadena so Jill could get an ultrasound by Greg. The baby looks good and she is measuring large for her dates :)<br />

We went to La Canada afterwards to have lunch from New Moon. Dorothy knows it's my favorite so she suggested it. As usual we ordered too much food so it made for yummy leftover the next couple days. The kids had fun playing with all of the toys. Macy was excited that Volcom got to see her other grandma's house.<br />
<br />
My little family stayed in La Canada so Owen could take a good nap. Everyone else went back to Yorba Linda. Ja and I stopped at BevMo to pick up some root beer for our Annual Root Beer tasting contest. We had twelve to taste. Macy and Anna helped me cover up the labels so the marketing wouldn't sway our votes.<br />

After Owen's nap we headed back to YL. Macy was still crying every two hours about her ear hurting. The amoxicillin should have kicked in by now! I couldn't deal anymore with the crying every two hours all throughout the night and wanted her to feel better! We found another clinic I could take her to that was still open at 7 p.m. on New Year's Eve. What a blessing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This doctor said Macy had a double ear infection in her right ear (inner and outer ear) and another one in her left ear. My poor girl! He prescribed a stronger antibiotic and some ear drops. Another miracle was we found a pharmacy still open too! We got home and somehow got Macy to take her medicine. She said it was disgusting! The first couple doses took her 30 minutes to finish because she hated how it tasted. Putting drops in her ears was also a pain. But she did it and after that first dose I could tell she was feeling better! The next day I hardly had to give her tylenol. What a blessing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Macy said the lady at CVS should be fired for giving her the wrong medicine. Now, back at home, every time we pass a CVS she says, "CVS! Those doctors should be fired!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We finally had our root beer contest and after some good ones and some not very good ones (So duh!) we found a winner- Fitz's. I think that one has won in the past before. I don't think anyone stayed up until midnight. I was up giving Macy some tylenol but no on else was awake. </div>

<br />
Stacie, Randy, Volcom, Kenny, Elle, and Landon were there. Landon and Owen are now 1 year old and we met Landon for the first time. It's so sad it took a year to meet him. I felt like I saw him grow up on Facebook and Cluster so I didn't feel too left out. The dads took the kids to the park so the moms could get dinner ready for the rest of the Seymour clan. We actually wrapped presents for my kids most of the time :)<br />
<br />
We had a fun time with Grandma and Grandpa Seymour, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Steve, Derek, Lisa, Griff, and Delaney. We ate a ham dinner then did a gift exchange. We all put in a $10 gift in the middle of the room. We then went around rolling two dice and if you rolled two 6's then you chose a gift. After you opened it someone could steal it from you if they rolled two 6's. We ended up getting two adult coloring books that Macy and Anna enjoy. We originally had a "Bucket List" metal bucket, so I stole the coloring books from my dad. I joked and said he's more likely to need a bucket list than I am.<br />
<br />
We also celebrated Landon's, Owen's, Macy's, and my dad's birthdays.<br />
<br />
Sadly, I didn't take a single picture that night. I was a little occupied with a cranky Owen and didn't think about pictures. Plus, we were going to eat dinner with Grandma and Grandpa that Sunday so I'd take pictures with them then. Now that I know the events that would play out the next couple of days I'm very sad I didn't take any pictures that night. I had no idea it would be the last time I would see Grandma Seymour alive.<br />
<br />
<u>December 25- </u> Stacie and Randy slept over at his parent's house so we waited to open presents once they got to our house. It was fun to have so many people in the house again! We barely fit!<br />
<br />
Of course it was sad not to have Jill and Colin with us. We did FaceTime with them while mom and dad opened their "Why We Believe" book.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
We had a pancake, egg, and sausage breakfast together. I think everyone was watching Santa Claus 2 in this picture. (Volcom was watching Finding Nemo on the computer- his favorite.) </div>

It was fun to have little kids around again to open fun presents!<br />
<br />
Macy and Anna got digital cameras from Santa. I'm so glad we gave them to the girls because they had fun taking pictures of everyone. After lunch we all went to Tri City Park to feed the ducks and play. Macy made a new friend and they took pictures together. Macy only played with her for about 20 minutes but whenever she looks back on the pictures on her camera she says, "That's my friend!"Ja had the kids (especially Volcom) squealing with joy at the playground. There was a little table there so the kids sat at it and ordered from the "restaurant." Ja would bring out a big pile of wood chips as their food but would trip or sneeze and throw the wood chips over the table, or over them. They thought that was hilarious. After a while Macy started to give her order then say, "And don't sneeze!"<br />
<br />
Later that night we got together with the Francis family for dessert and presents. Macy and Owen got more birthday presents that night too. Again, I didn't take any pictures but Macy sure did with her camera! I'll have to do a post with her photos.<br />
<br />
<u>December 26-</u> We wanted to do something fun as a family so we drive down to San Juan Capistrano. Grandma Seymour had given some of us Ruby's gift cards so we went to lunch together. It's fun being all together. We had to wait awhile for a table to fit all of us. The kids were great because their was a rotating train engine and a train up above us that entertained them all.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We eventually put Owen on the rotating platform. Not for too long though.</div>

Anna was pretty brave with the little guinea pigs. We bought a vegetable tray so the kids could feet them. Anna had to fear and fed them little carrots and then little pieces of lettuce. She let them eat let lettuce right out of her hands.<br />

You can see Anna's hand feeding the lettuce in the below picture. Macy pet some but was a little tot timid to pick them up. I have to admit it was a little scary at first to pick them up because they would scramble to get out of my hands.<br />

The girls liked brushing the goats and sheep. When the sheep would stand up it would look Anna straight in the eyes. She was a little nervous about this but not as scared as I would've been if I met an animal at my eye level!</div>

In the middle of our time at the petting zoo Owen pooped so I went to change him. The changing table is outside in a place where there are lots of people walking by. While I had the diaper off Owen decided to poop some more. It was a big mess and I only had one diaper, a small amount of wipes, and the changing pad with me. I had no one to help with the mess so I had to wrap Owen in the changing pad to get my mom to help. I didn't have extra clothes for Owen and I had just used my last diaper. Later on I found out I had formula but no bottle to put it in! I did a terrible job packing for the day!</div>
<br />
The highlight of this petting zoo was the corn bin. The kids loved it! Owen and Landon liked eating it so we had to be diligent in keeping it out of their mouths. Macy and Anna filled their shoes like buckets and dumped it over each other's heads- even Owen's.<br />

Stacie lied down in the corn and we told the kids to bury her. Volcom was unaware of the burying at first. The girls covered most of her legs when Volcom came over, noticed his mommy is covered, and yells, "No! Mommy!" and frantically pushes the corn off. I thought it was pretty funny. It's sweet how concerned he was about his mommy and how she might be hurt.<br />

I wanted to get a picture of my parents with all their grandkids. Macy and Anna would not be a part of it and you can see Volcom didn't want to be either. So we tried with the little boys since they don't really care. Of course with two little boys it was hard to get everyone to look at the camera (including my dad!) but it's documented.<br />

After the petting zoo we drove over to Stacie and Randy's new house in San Clemente. They moved in at the beginning of the summer so this was our first time seeing it. They live in a nice neighborhood on a cul-de-sac and only 10 minutes to the beach! Lucky them! We had fun hanging out and the kids played with all of Volcoms toys. He was generous and shared very well. I had to take this picture from the side because I didn't want my kids to see me. They were playing very well and I knew once they saw me it would all be over.<br />

I wanted to try again to get a picture of the grandkids with my parents. This time Volcom didn't want Stacie to leave and Anna wouldn't let Ja leave. Macy wouldn't sit on the couch. I had the idea to put on a movie so the kids would at least be looking towards me.<br />

I had to bribe Macy with $2 to get her to sit on the couch with everyone. That made Anna upset because she didn't want to share Ja's lap. It's hilarious how the three little boys are perfectly happy and the two girls are being difficult and not cooperating. Ja said that's the difference between girls and boys. But we got a picture with all 5 grandkids, right? Owen and Landon get the reward for best behaved.<br />

We decided to go home for Christmas this year since my siblings could be there too. We haven’t all been together in a long time so I was excited to go. The night before our flight we were second guessing ourselves because flying with kids is no fun! But there was no turning back.</div>

<u>December 19</u>- Our flight left at 8:20 a.m. It was a rush to get out the door and to the airport. I’m so glad our friend Chelsie dropped us off because the airport was super busy! We were not expecting how busy it was and it was an absolute miracle we made our flight. We got in the security line at the same time our plane was boarding. Macy and I said many prayers that we would make our flight somehow. The TSA agent said it was an hour wait from where we were standing! That was not going to work! I asked if we could somehow get through since our plane was boarding. He said we would have to ask everyone in line in front of us if they would allow that. We waited in line a few minutes more then Ja was moved by the Spirit. He jumped into the employee’s only line so we could walk right up to the front. The TSA agent there said, “Are we making this a family line now?” Ja said no, but we needed a favor. She said, “I normally don’t do this” but let us go through. We literally sprinted to the plane. I didn’t have my shoes on right, had a big backpack on, was carrying Anna who was also wearing a back pack, and had two bags on my other arm. I felt like I was hardly moving! We were out of breath but we made the flight!! It was a miracle! Our prayers were definitely answered! </div>

The kids were amazing on the flight. Another answer to prayers. Anna and Macy played with the toys I brought and hardly watching movies on the phone like I anticipated. Owen liked to tear up magazines and actually fell asleep on Ja’s lap.</div>

Owen was up multiple times in the night and had a really hard time falling back asleep. It was a long, tiring night.</div>
<br />
<u>December 20- </u><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;">Owen was up for good at 5 a.m. He had a slight fever so I gave him some tylenol. All throughout the day he was cranky and required tylenol.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
We went to church in La Canada. Since this was the Sunday before Christmas they had their Christmas program. Dorothy was in charge of the program this year since she is the choir director. She did a great job. There was singing, instruments, children singing, and a full choir.<br />
<br />
We hung out at the house while the kids played. Owen discovered the tupperware cupboard. He was good and didn't make too much of a mess.<br />

Another rough night with Owen! Man, this kid is exhausting!<br />
<br />
<u>December 21-</u> Dorothy insisted that Ja and I go to a movie. We decided to see the Hunger Games movie. Then we went to lunch at Blaze pizza. Maria was at the house to help with the kids. She was able to get Owen to take a nap without crying. He was friendly towards her which is different than the girls. Sometimes when Anna couldn't see Maria she'd ask me, "where is the black mommy?"<br />
<br />
The girls made cookies with Granny Dot. Anna was very helpful and concentrated very intently while scooping them out. She scooped them all by herself.<br />

They also made sugar cookies to decorate for Santa.<br />

Then the girls went swimming in the hot tub. They loved it and I could hear their laughter and splashes upstairs (I was trying to take a nap.)<br />

That night we drove up to Valencia to ride on an old fashioned fire truck to look at Christmas lights. We bundled up warm and snuggled together in blankets. The kids had a great time. Macy loved waving at the people we drove past. We enjoyed cookies and hot chocolate on the ride too.<br />

It started to drizzle but I didn't notice it that much once we started driving. We got to sit in the front of the truck and Macy got to pull the string to make the siren go. She thought she had to continuously pull the string so she got tired of doing it.<br />

I knew Macy would like the one-on-one time so we scheduled that for today. Dorthy asked Macy where she wanted to go and she said Target! I knew there were a lot of things she wanted there. She came home with a doll, clothes, crayons, paint, giant coloring books, and a Minnie toy for Anna. </div>

They were gone for 6 hours because they ended up doing other errands too. So the rest of us got to hang out at home. Anna found a few new outfits in the closet in the cousins room. We discovered Owen loves peas so Anna tried to feed him. She's a great big sister and is so helpful with Owen.<br />

After Kid Space we came home and Darin, Rachel, and Wesley were there! Papa wanted to take us out on the motor home and Macy’s birthday was the perfect day to do it. When we drove about an inch a bunch of water came spilling into the motor home right onto Greg’s back. It had been raining the last day and apparently there was a leak. So with a wet back, Greg drove us down to the Rose Bowl and set everything up.</div>

Per Macy’s request we went to a pizza place in Montrose for dinner. We table situation was a little difficult because it was counter height. That meant no high chairs for the babies, but we still had a good time and Macy enjoyed her pizza.</div>

I got the girls in the bath and they wanted to use the jets. When I turned them on the water got a little bubbly just from the soap that rinsed from their bodies. I thought it would be fun to add a little bit more for them. I left to finish packing and Dorothy went to go check on them. I guess I put too much soap in! The bubbles got so high Anna couldn’t sit in the bath and see over them. They drained the water and started over.

After a couple days of having pinkish eyes I called the doctor and they gave me a prescription for eye drops. As I tried to put them in her eyes I told Anna what they were for- to make the pink eye go away. To which she replied, "So my eyes can be brown again and not pink?" I love that in her mind she thought her eyes had changed color to pink. <div><br></div><div>I laughed because I thought it was so cute. Of course she started crying because she hates being laughed at. She probably feels we are making fun of her when in reality she is so dang cute it makes me laugh. Sometimes I have to tell her, "Anna you make me so happy I laugh/smile" so she won't cry. </div><div><br></div><div>Macy has been wanting me around her a lot lately. I ate lunch with her at school yesterday and today she got sad at the bus stop and wanted me to take her to school. We ate breakfast together in the cafeteria. I walked her to her classroom and she walked right in without a backward glance. </div><div><br></div><div>After school she showed me a card she made for me during morning work. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4beIYuD7sLXkfYBPOJxFVrmpYACko78THYyJG4ZoVevmD8SeDFb-M0o2Usc1k_58gQXv6E8d__RCrva66LJ3cqLjw0AG8NfeVUjEk9vMYAscYipI9yGMQMEE0YHlzdtJ2Y-8Yie66b8s5/s640/blogger-image--1265667462.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4beIYuD7sLXkfYBPOJxFVrmpYACko78THYyJG4ZoVevmD8SeDFb-M0o2Usc1k_58gQXv6E8d__RCrva66LJ3cqLjw0AG8NfeVUjEk9vMYAscYipI9yGMQMEE0YHlzdtJ2Y-8Yie66b8s5/s640/blogger-image--1265667462.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmiv47P4OaL5dJ7Ip3MoxcPcalxp7An12R6wF6DXkRaTJW38d_I6Sr333zJKtYeDOasRlBOKLPwv6Sw8j6jaW7_drTkxniumDtr-L11BVca5GouLEcz2BhmIrPo1I9LlWDG3aSvJ5t_XcT/s640/blogger-image--1698922729.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmiv47P4OaL5dJ7Ip3MoxcPcalxp7An12R6wF6DXkRaTJW38d_I6Sr333zJKtYeDOasRlBOKLPwv6Sw8j6jaW7_drTkxniumDtr-L11BVca5GouLEcz2BhmIrPo1I9LlWDG3aSvJ5t_XcT/s640/blogger-image--1698922729.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">After a series of questions I was able to figure out why she made it. She sat down to do her morning work and started to cry a little bit. Someone at her table told Mrs. Orlofsky that Macy was crying. When asked why she was crying she said she missed her mom. I love the innocence and honesty of a kindergartner. So Mrs. Orlofsky suggested that she make me a card. Isn't that sweet? I forget that Macy is still a little girl and can miss her mommy! I'm loving it. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>Jonathan and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053983672377955961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355605196372256414.post-17689498094227393662015-10-31T21:26:00.000-04:002015-11-22T21:28:01.422-05:00October 2015<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I know I already shared this one of Owen but it's too cute not to share again. It should be entered in a caption contest.</div>

This was the amazing blanket fort Ja made for General Conference. The kids were entertained inside listening to conference. </div>

During the last session of conference Macy wanted to do my hair. She said she can only do buns.<br />

Owen loves the shopping cart with the steering wheel. As you can see he is throughly entertained by it. Anna enjoys it too and this make shopping so much easier!<br />

<br />
We had a "come as you are" night for Young Women's. We all dressed up with our hobbies and interests. This was a perfect activity because we just combined with a new ward so we had new girls that night for the first time. Some girls got really creative with their outfits. I wore a chef hat, by bike jersey, sunglasses, red shoes, and my baby ergo.<br />

Owen is gumming this baby squash. I had to take a picture because I have the exact picture of Macy doing this around his same age.<br />

When my parents came to visit we took them to a Robbins Park. Across the street from the park is bamboo. The girls had fun playing in it.<br />

Our stake had a fall festival. There were a ton of people despite the rain the entire time of the event. The girls got their faces painted, ate cotton candy and ice cream, we ate dinner, and listened to a concert.<br />

Alyssa were so excited for the concert to begin. They were hugging and jumping up and down. We listened to the Red Head Express.<br />

My mom took this adorable picture of Anna at the mall.<br />

<br />
So, this morning at the grocery store Anna had a quiet protest. She wanted me to carry her around the store and refused to walk or get in the cart. I put her in the cart and she was screaming and trying to climb out. I put her down here in the isle and she stood her for a good 5 minutes without moving. I even went down other isles and she didn't care. The lady in the isle with her was concerned I was leaving Anna. After 5 minutes I hugged Anna then she was done with her protest and walked with me.<br />

<br />
One morning after getting in the shower Anna went downstairs all by herself. This is how I found her. She pushed a chair over to the counter, then got the bag of leftover pizza from the fridge and began eating it.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAEVQ6WiwK5B_JbnTl0xTGRCg0N0U95d_Q6YgI_LgZ4FQyWCZ-mHFTSSKDZecGIhHUjjb9eNsRVvTTuTr19zwsvl1xV9KKrtmRJsnLLtfNTavJ-ozpFVcjk6IslgwXZCtSqwUExWmqMzKi/s640/blogger-image-467387348.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Macy's school isn't allowed to have the kids dress up in costumes for Halloween so they disguise it by saying they have to dress up as a character in a book. All the 3rd or 4th graders were Minions and the teachers were characters from Despicable Me. It was so cute!<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQFZHHZ_oeP_BGRutXiKSN_7RpoShzbojFddy57wjgsPd1wO50SW-SahXYJd7UWKAtO_HUllK0v6yq26Lxb6pdvxec3LOuyu76_1T4rM35-_txbynWSbP5d2eAGO5jNvXrA7zetdkVni7E/s640/blogger-image-1893251731.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Macy is the angel. I couldn't get a picture of her face! I was watching her and my camera wouldn't take the picture in time before her backed was turned.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih0BZbQ2YdkWTGVxuolMNUHOkl4jtaNstbOAxXj1Trt6ndZABnDiOiHvs8_zPOVrin_0YQPE_DG058XrBh4MIcjmixztQmy3YpsPQn2i7GXUErKauGpm-Q5Z3vOVkjy8-3ozvtoYT01JJR/s640/blogger-image-1939915610.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The next day Anna dressed up for preschool. She had a super cute Minnie Mouse dress but insisted on wearing this pink dress. I'm not sure who or what she is but it's a dress up dress so I guess it works.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQXnZSwoasMusKp1wpQv5RbwfJzRqm5q_UVESZVMJfA3NvIxykv2ETrZToyeiguxsRFGCHNZS2uP36b4P0PpFKrHw_EMbr6uyrOnfvck_cRg8_wZfTFanPi2BfHw9T6R0hy6ADDf-7a_ov/s640/blogger-image-349316123.jpg" /><br />
<br />
We carved pumpkins and tried to get a picture of all three kids. The girls are so helpful, right? The girls helped get all the seeds out of the pumpkins. (Anna calls them beads.)<br />

<br />
Owen's first pumpkin! Macy picked out a silly face for his pumpkin.<br />

<br />
Anna wanted a castle on her pumpkin. She posed like this all on her own.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxxD4ZgVWhhRPYq4D1rb5AmeB-IHSFDQqQcku059zG411JXuS2jcfkRNUOwJgHKJraibNsQTAIA3Kbwx7t3wQzmBLslGlyf5q4kzlChL2cy7O8s1ktai5md5cWU_qqu6Sb2_YCnvT9z_Mo/s640/blogger-image--398565034.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I thought this was a sweet moment between Owen and Ja.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbYQZ2AHM-wzhLJC2C5zXDJRfuWeM8-zCMXH96B9prY6ufoV-gkcs6JLben95h9Gblh71CTZ46w8frk8Ulq0v2VErFU60zDVO2ud05CcU5raPYD0hNwh2tcd_LhcJTaKVK0EEz_x_VqeBk/s640/blogger-image-334112140.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Anna likes to play school and do Show and Share. She pretends to be multiple children so she can talk about multiple toys. It's very cute. I, as the other students, have to ask her questions about her toy.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBZBBmuKCzPZguM4D4N83Uz2VdBomU_qNxN7jLin6fwQTjX9EciWb8iYG3YLfLLoRw2YdJThAU9Jas7BSBZstWnT2a_ndI9Y5DS0P50WIVWcGG90nPa2eVKhQiou3oiderCM_f7GWCtxu9/s640/blogger-image--1585914542.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I just love these pants of Owen's. The front of the shirt says, "I'm batty for Mommy."<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg051dXISACIbLdW4ibADwZ791Wiopn2vCsftgxkoHw1jeWhf10ZB37VYeA4onHc-ndsYCRuUIP5jBVlCa8XgqECxzrBLqqy04s8DWHhIXJBMRdGpwgTvRhtpZPufe_nUNTe4M3sN0ritXD/s640/blogger-image-1917971531.jpg" /><br />
<br />
This is Macy and her favorite babysitter Emily at our ward Halloween party.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgafJdGEIY4uL2rlcnTN_00fyiVQI22a1SVq_mhtRTryYbD4Yw4h5lLQH1kTSy4nNGSblLRVPxiTBHxyN8PGxV3Yd2j08rhP3pTJTNPbEL52njCPCECJzoYg8PCeafSo_h5HYWs5eAwY1SX/s640/blogger-image-1684832851.jpg" /><br />

Heres our whole family shot. It looks like Anna is running away but she wanted to sit on the hay bale farther away from us. She also refused to wear her minnie mouse ears. Ja was Superman, I, Lois Lane, Macy an angel, and Owen a fluffy chick.<br />

This was the only picture I got on Halloween night. The kids were too busy trick or treating to pose for a picture. I was too busy pushing the stroller. I had to run to keep up with the kids!<br />

Whenever I scroll up, it goes back down on its own. Then, iTunes opens up. I think to myself, "What's going on?" Then I see something that makes my heart drop - letters are being typed in the Username field and Password field.</div><div><br></div><div>I feel sick to my stomach. Somebody has taken over my screen and are trying to wreak havoc. They are scrolling down the web page, opening iTunes, typing in fields, and clicking on different apps that I have open. It looks like chaos, and I have no control over what they do.</div><div><br></div><div>In one of the fields, I see some odd spellings of words with foreign characters - "Oh crap" I think, "A Russian has access to my computer." I close the apps, even as the perpetrator continually tries to open iTunes and enter a username and password. In a panic, I turn off my laptop before anything serious can happen.</div><div><br></div><div>I begin wondering, "What virus did I download? How did somebody get access to my computer?" It doesn't matter - the damage is done. Now, how do I get them to stop? Will turning my computer off be enough?</div><div><br></div><div>When I turn my laptop on again, somebody still has control of my screen and they are still typing feverishly, clicking around, scrolling up and down the pages, and trying to open apps. </div><div><br></div><div>"What are they trying to find? How can I get them to stop?" I feel helpless at this point, and think - "If they have access through the internet, maybe I can just turn my WiFi off." After closing apps as fast as the stranger is opening, I quickly navigate over to turn the WiFi off. It seems to have worked.</div><div><br></div><div> Laura comes downstairs and I tell her what happened. She starts laughing. Apparently, it wasn't a Russian from APT, it wasn't a virus, and nobody is trying to steal my information - it was Owen... upstairs, in a different room, playing on a Bluetooth keyboard that is unknowingly connected to my laptop. Slamming his hands down, mashing all of the keys at once, and unknowingly taking complete control of my computer.</div><div><br></div><div>Pretty clever for a 10-month old.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I was laughing so hard when Ja explained this to me. I was crying from laughing. And I'm crying from laughing again right now. I was watching Owen bang on the keyboard so I know how random his typing was. He knows more keyboard shortcuts than I do!</div>Jonathan and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053983672377955961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355605196372256414.post-19395803658026708972015-10-19T20:46:00.000-04:002015-11-22T20:48:08.314-05:0010 year anniversary cruise!We became friends with Andrew and Chelsey Jones back in college. When we all graduated and moved away we talked about going on a cruise together for our 10 year anniversary. Chelsey remembered and set it all up and we tagged along. We went on a 7-day Royal Carribean cruise to Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, and St. Kitts. We had a perfect time. It's so much fun having friends that we've known for so long and we fit right back into things. We haven't done much with them for the past 6 years but that didn't matter.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My parents were able to come and watch our kids so we can go. This also made the trip great because I knew the kids were in great hands while we were gone. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our trip started off a little rough. The night before we were supposed to leave I tried checking us into our flight but was having trouble. Turns out I never purchased me a airplane ticket! Only Ja had one! And it was going to cost $645 to buy one that night! Not going to happen! So, we called southwest and cancelled Ja's ticket and were able to get our points back. We then we to bed for a few hours and got up at 3 am to drive to Fourt Lauderdale. It's a 10 hour drive and Ja drove the whole way. He let me sleep in the backseat. We made it to the port right at 2 pm which was the latest time they wanted us there. Since we were late the lines were all gone and we walked right into the ship. It was great!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We met up Andrew and Chelsey for a little while then took a well deserved nap!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then the fun began! There is so much food, events, and fun on the ship. We were never bored! </div>

Andrew, Ja, and Chelsey tried out the Flowrider. It looked difficult and I didn't like the idea of having water shot up into my face so I was the videographer. Ja and Andrew liked the challenge and did the Flowrider every time it was open. By the end of the week they were pretty good at it! They figured out how to get balanced by themselves and how to fall gracefully. </div>
<div>

<div>
We all loved eating all the food we wanted! Being able to say "I'm hungry" and immediately going to get food that was already prepared for me was my favorite part. There was a soft serve ice cream machine in the pool deck that we frequented often. We also improved our cone filling technique by the end of the week. </div>

Our first port was San Juan, Puerto Rico. We got in around 4pm. Our first stop was to a chocolate restaurant my friend Katrina told us about- Choco Bar de Casa Cortes. It was so delicious and I'm so glad we stopped there first because it closed at 6pm. </div>

Ja ordered the thick European hot chocolate and it lived up to its name. It was like melted chocolate in a mug with a little bit of cream. It was so delicious. The rest of us got frozen hot chocolate which was also very delicious. We shared churros with three types of dipping sauces.<br />

Then we walked over to an old fort that was built in the 1500's to protect the island. It was closed but we still enjoyed walking around outside and taking pictures. Outside of the fort was a huge grassy area. Since it was right on the coast it was beautiful and very memorable.<br />

This is the highest point on the island. We drove the razor up here on the super rocky "road" if you can call it that. </div>

<br />
Then we continued around the island (there's only one road that goes all the way around) to Maho beach. It's a famous beach because there is an airport right on the beach. The landing and take-off strip is right next to the beach. The sign was pretty accurate. The jet blast was extremely hot and very strong. We had to duck to take cover and our bodies were covered in sand afterwards. I definitely ate some sand with my dinner.<br />

<br />
After being blasted by the airplane jets we ate dinner at a little "restaurant." The tables were outside and the kitchen was in a little trailer. I thought the food was good though!<br />
<br />
Then we played on the beach and in the warm Caribbean water. Ja and Andrew did synchronized flips and dives into the waves. I could have spent more time on the beach! It was a lot of fun and the temperatures were perfect. But we also didn't want to miss our ship leaving so it was time to head back.<br />

<br />
St. Maarten-<br />
Here we took a "taxi" van to a small beach. The taxi driver told us he would take us to a beach that is lined with restaurants. I was a little timid because I wanted a more secluded beach- not one full of tourists. But when we got there I realized their idea of "lined with restaurants" means a few shacks on the beach with lounge chairs! Not crowded at all. It was perfect as this pictures shows.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoKYRw-X87zIC3eIxZHUKgistpR4FuvShN9NXhwIhRphTXRnFErpV_2b81fIGH2sRNpLKFbOysRJZ4A30Ldyn-nrejB1qsKGkOHC6spJB8lp9KcSvveqG1UfKFZPRcK2wVrohZlTOtIVWn/s640/blogger-image--172781090.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The island of St. Maarten has more monkeys than people. One of the restaurants on the beach had a pet monkey in a cage.<br />

<br />
Our taxi driver had us stop and take a picture at the top of this hill. It's pretty cool because on the left side of the picture is the Atlantic ocean and the right side is the Caribbean ocean. The island is shaped like a guitar and the skinny handle part is the divider between the two oceans.<br />

Things we did on the ship:<br />
<br />
There was an ice skating show on the ship and during the off times we can go ice skating. I haven't done that for years! After a few minutes it all came back to me.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJwGRBGt6jUEsqLpzqNFuAKNtdCLan5XfUgro0fAXU-wJaL9bZg131OcyesY6FLccMDWX1mIUNHrJKDSxgAKOTp84VSxNRDRMTeKSnefNEL14P1OfHL2vvLi2dyqtUP9zgFG5r1_t7HesH/s640/blogger-image-1522005566.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Rock climbing! I was proud of myself for getting all the way to the top. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I learned that I would not be a good rock climber in the wild. This was scary enough for me :)<br />

<br />
<br />
Andrew and Chelsey had a balcony so they snapped this rainbow shot from their balcony. They often reminded us they had a balcony and we didn't (As a joke of course).<br />

<br />
All the meals were so good. The lobster was one of our favorites. By the end of the week we were all ordering two appetizers, a couple entrees, and at least two desserts- each. Keep the food coming!<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigHF_frkIVwdnieOA6DV9BWYiHD4D4ELUyU_EZifBFdLnpK_v7sbWOjyBpEZRtHBZF2rm81BZxfmMlw4UWKqjaxsp1ZMDxdxXxK6RCXAoa13ttknLKlHSFJvk5uM7osslyoFQvDSFsIWfg/s640/blogger-image--2076157728.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Our waiters were awesome and so attentive! Rowan is on the left and Prashant on the right.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIzmSKWeVSiUv0ZNsPYsuUbozMzAlIbU8DTCB_MahJgdq0Q8UbAjEU2uwDMPwsvUaQWDvK6AKtIfIBzerKGnwcvx4PY6ME0KipAMx2d3XfItlpR0yNQ1cwX_us5LrofxqA2zVrX29zul_m/s640/blogger-image-1254673890.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Andrew and Ja asked for hot chocolate the first night so the waiters brought some out to them every night. They even noticed Ja and Andrew would add more chocolate to their mugs and then brought out multiple packets for them.<br />
<br />
Andrew said: The beauties...<br />

The main dining room<br />

<br />
These hand sanitizing stations were all over the ship. At the Windjammer Cafe (which served lunch and breakfast) a person would be in front reminding us to use the sanitizer. They would say, "Washy washy before yummy yummy!" You could often hear guests repeating that all over the ship.<br />

<br />
The last night of the cruise Ja participated in a Queen music trivia. It was name that song and Ja won these hats for knowing the most songs! We said it would be fun for Andrew to keep on and Ja to keep on. On our next trip together we'll bring the matching hats for fun memories.<br />

Here the front most part of the ship. We tried to do the Titanic scene of course.<br />

This was the last day of our cruise! Boo hoo! We had such a wonderful time and it was so relaxing. We originally thought it would be fun to do a trip together every 10 years but at the end we decided 10 years is to long to wait! Maybe every 5 years. Chelsey really wants to go to Italy so maybe that will be the next trip!</div>

Back at home- Owen was up multiple times a night, Anna stayed home from preschool with a cough, and my dad had to go to the hospital with kidney stones. Yikes! I'm so glad I missed all of that :)</div>

He's been sick lately so I'm glad he already had an appointment because it turns out he has an ear infection. He hasn't pulled at his ears or seemed super cranky so I was surprised. But he has had a super runny nose and drooling like crazy so there's a lot of fluid in his little (big) head. The doctor asked if he had a fever or throwing up and Owen had both! He threw up twice last night but wasn't acting sick at all. The doctor said kids with ear infections can throw up because their inner equilibrium is off. Poor Owen!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Although he was sick he did really well at the appointment. He was calm and happy. I expected a crying unhappy baby because the appointment was right at his normal nap time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So here are his stats:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Height 28.5 inches (47th percentile)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Weight 20 lbs 8.5 oz (61st percentile)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Head 48 cm (97th percentile)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Look at Owen's chub!

Ja wrote this up and I think it's great! <div><br></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Laura and I are living in Charlotte, NC. When people ask why we moved there, we respond, “It’s where the dart landed.”<br><br>While living in Washington, D.C. we felt it was time to move out of the D.C. beltway so we could afford a bigger place for our growing family. We discussed California, Colorado, Utah, and Northern Virginia.<br><br>Some of those places were too expensive for what I wanted to pay, and others just didn’t feel right. One night, out of frustration, Laura asked me, “Where can we move?” I replied, “Look at Charlotte, NC.”<br><br>We checked it out on Zillow, drove down to look at homes, and everything just felt right. We ended up moving at the end of April, 2014.<br><br>Macy just started Kindergarten and she loves it. The bus, her teacher, the discipline, the structure - everything. It seems that children nowadays are rewarded for being seen and not heard, and that suits Macy just fine. She’s also taking tap and ballet, enrolled in “Let’s Play Music,” and loves playing school when she gets home.<br><br>Anna turned 3 in August and started preschool. Fortunately, she responds better to preschool than she does to nursery. She seems to enjoy her teachers and fellow classmates. She’s also taking ballet class and loves wearing the outfit. Anna is definitely spunkier than Macy - she’s loud, wild, and very dramatic. We love it.<br><br>Owen is 9-months old and is typically pretty happy. He’s sitting up and scooting while also eating everything in sight (including leaves and sticks). He’s also the chunkiest child we’ve had.<br><br>Laura is now a Young Women counselor and just inherited more girls as a result of stake boundary changes. She loves her calling and is great at planning events and running the show. She’s also diligent at writing in our family blog, busy with sewing projects, painting our bedroom, planting a garden, saving our grass from the drought, running kids around, planning amazing meals (we recently began eating more vegetarian meals), and just overall taking care of things. I love her.<br><br>I am still a Seminary teacher and begin class around <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://0" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0">5:55 am</a> (though most kids are late, so we get rolling around <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://1" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors-result="1">6:00</a>). I’m also writing a book for young fathers and helping my brothers grow their business.<br><br>We’ve been very blessed, and our testimony of the gospel has grown a lot since moving to Charlotte. We’ve been able to share the gospel with our neighbors, experience little miracles, and learn from the testimonies of others.<br><br>Jonathan</span><br style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"></div>Jonathan and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053983672377955961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355605196372256414.post-71585851394019692912015-09-23T20:57:00.001-04:002015-09-23T21:20:04.719-04:00Ward Campout<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5S0YzLVAZvmvwaIr6g89uZOu2fdLyooUA2Tw8XgKCYCB72v6ZS8rEXlj3l1G4bDTHuDXOQ9qcU-5NuzZz3a6droDxMRdRzFy9L063zIzYXx-ZtmI8brLc-2ymvhyphenhyphen4pSetNmJ8PY_OIE27/s640/blogger-image--812215035.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Ja got back from his San Francisco trip just in time to take the girls Friday night. I waited until Friday afternoon to tell Macy she was going. I didn't want her to be disappointed if Ja's flight was delayed. She was ecstatic when I told her. She jumped around saying "we got to pack!! We have to get ready!" Her and Anna packed their clothes into their backpacks in record speed. Anna's clothes were a poorly matched outfit so I had to fix that. They were so excited to go real camping.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I stayed home with Owen so no one would have to hear him crying in the middle of the night.

But at 4 a.m. Anna woke up because she had diarrhea. It got all over her pajamas. Ja put her in the van because she was screaming. He tried to change her and wipe her down but didn't have any wipes. Sadly, I told him there were some in the van but I was wrong. He was able to find a washcloth in the emergency backpack in the trunk and used that to clean her up. Thankfully, she went back to sleep. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Owen got up at 6:30 so we headed over to meet Ja and the girls.

She refused to let me take a picture of her and her cute Minnie Mouse backpack though. I was nervous about it because she still cries when we drop her off at nursery. She's been doing that for 18 months! On the drive there she kept telling me, "mommy I might be scared." Her face did look nervous. I told her it's ok to be scared on your first day of school and that I was always nervous on the first day too. When we got inside she asked if I could go in with her but got distracted when the teacher asked if she wanted a star stamp on her hand. The other teacher whisked her inside and no tears were shed. I was so relieved. And proud of Anna! She got to bring in her stuffed Minnie Mouse to show her class too. I went grocery shopping with just Owen! It was a very quick and quiet trip!<br />

**update** on September 10 I was able to sneak this picture of Anna and her backpack. She still refuses to pose for a picture.<br />

August 1- Owen is recovering from our trip and only wanted to be held. I put him in the ergo so I could put things away and he fell asleep. I had to stop and watch his cute face since he doesn't fall asleep in my arms very often anymore. I love those cheeks and want to kiss them!</div>

Parker and Macy wanted to climb the tree but couldn't quite get up into it. Someone (we still aren't quite sure who) put these boards up into the tree and they were a huge hit!! The kids played in them all day and Anna loved sliding down them on her tummy feet first. Our neighbor gifted the boards to us so we had them on the side of the house. The Elders were over so they might have done it. Whomever it was we thank them! The kids love these boards!</div>

Anna knows that if she wants to watch a movie on my phone she has to go potty first. This is my attempt to keep her on the potty long enough to actually pee. It worked very well. For a few days after everyone she peed she'd say, "I watch a movie now!"</div>

August 4- I've really enjoyed taking the girls swimming this summer. We are so lucky to have Ja work from home so I can take the girls during Owen's nap. Macy is completely independent and lives to jump in "5 feet." Anna wears her floaties most of the time so she will swim around on her own too. Here we are enjoying a snack poolside. </div>

August 6- I went through all the bins of baby clothes and took out all the clothes that I don't like, are stained, or neither girl wore. That's 5 garbage bags! I sold them in a consignment sale and got $168! Woohoo!</div>

August 7- Macy wanted to sell Lemonade again but we didn't have any. We just bought three boxes of gum from Costco so she sold gum for $1- box. She sold $8 of gum. </div>

Her confidence in her ability to sell gum in the morning of a workday is incredible. I wish I had her confidence. She sat there knowing customers would come. Lucky for her, her daddy isn't afraid to go around to neighbors/people walking around and ask them to stop by the gum shop. </div>

August 10- Our neighbor gave us this desk and chair. The girls enjoy coloring on it and sitting on the desk to watch movies. Here is a rare moment of them sitting in close proximity of each other and not fighting. </div>

<br />
We had a lesson for FHE about being a child of God and of being of royal birth. For the activity I had the kids make crowns. I knew this would be a hit.<br />

August 12- We had a huge group of moms and kids go swimming at the Wheatley's pool. We had a blast- especially all these little girls because their favorite babysitter Emily was there too. Emily is the best babysitter. She is so kind, sweet, thoughtful, and plays with the kids. It's hard to get her to babysit because she's often booked!<br />

<br />
I was at mutual when I got at text from Ja with this picture of Owen. Owen had his first fall out of the bumbo. Ja was over talking to the neighbors on their driveway. Owen tried to reach for something and popped himself out of the seat and his nose hit the pavement. It broke my heart when I saw it!<br />

August 13- This one is actually about me! I was putting together an Etiquette Dinner for mutual and this was my outline of the presentation I wanted to give before the dinner. It went really well and all the kids loved it! I was even told by one girl that it was her most favorite mutual activity! During the presentation I looked out at the kids and everyone was looking at me! It almost took me off guard because I'm so used to someone being on their phone or talking. I was really nervous about the night but it went so much better than I expected. The kids ate slowly and politely during the dinner. I had decorated the gym really nicely and they kids were impressed with that too. I was on a high for a few days after it.<br />

August 14- I finally cut two knots out of Anna's hair. She had them in for quite a while. I guess I was hoping they would untangle somehow. I knew if I cut them out she would have a big space missing on the left side of her head- and she does. Oh well, I guess it's better than having two deadlocks.<br />

August 15- Ja and I went to the White Water Center to celebrate our anniversary. It's been 10 years!! I can hardly believe it. When we got married I don't think in my wildest dreams I would have imagined living in North Carolina and having a mini van (and loving it). It's been a fun 10 years!<br />

<br />
August 17- I took Macy to Target to buy all her school supplies! EEEKK! How is it she is old enough to be in Kindergarten? I learned my lesson though about shopping the week before school starts as everything was really picked over. However, Macy did find this great backpack. It's big enough she can still wear it in high school!<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNWHWQGoegU6tnvmuYtj1a2YpAyAexkDSSPQL3lUBkzmmarid9mQF5D1o_Njlf0_ial2D4kuJMfaiWIV8esxqbFNryqY5H3TnsCzEC0CGfd8suXcIDB8Z_NopG21sHeyo5MmSuis3dGmFu/s640/blogger-image--1055622198.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Today Macy also got fitted for her ballet and tap shoes. The studio requires that we buy the shoes from them to ensure proper fit. Macy was excited. She even had a tap dance class with Ja in the kitchen.<br />

August 18- Ja was doing push-ups so I put Owen down next to him. I thought it was so cute having Owen doing his push-ups next to daddy. Owen looks thrilled too!<br />

<br />
August 19- This was Owen's first time sitting up in a shopping cart. Notice his little toes up on the handle bar. He enjoyed being upright and being able to see everything.<br />

August 21- Both girls climbed into bed and I thought it was comical that all three people were using three different devices.<br />

<br />
I had the kids by myself tonight because Ja left for VA to run his Spartan race with Trevor. I decided to take the kids to Ikea for dinner then to Hobby Lobby. This was Owen's first time in the high chairs at Ikea. As a side note- they no longer include drinks in the kids meals, and didn't show a movie in the kids eating section. It was a disappointing eating experience.<br />

<br />
August 22- The girls picked out wooden things to paint from Hobby Lobby. Anna picked out this heart wand.<br />

<br />
And Macy picked out this little treasure box. I loved watching their faces focus intently on their project and their little hands trying so hard to be steady.<br />

Later on Austin came over and the desk turned into a pirate ship.<br />

<br />
Then we head to Ramsey Creek Park for a picnic lunch. (I like to stay busy when Ja is gone.) We met with some friends who we actually met at this park at the beginning of the summer. The water level was up to where I was sitting at the beginning of summer. It's been dry here!<br />

<br />
August 23- I'm so glad I was able to quickly snap this picture before church. I thought it was so precious. The girls missed their daddy even though the was only gone for one and a half days.<br />

<br />
Owen finally started sitting up!! YAY! He was 8 months old when he first sat up.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6bgYED-nZW1yksiwOb06E7g7VrI27SQXjWIaJsXAYqirdkcBeJFBBaEtDfWngsdVq3eFxvhvfya-rF7ecQHVF_ae5mydILyeOVZzdyZB2Z4dk_ZueQQ83W4HAel1qtcZ9okuYpQaTrH1e/s640/blogger-image-1755516976.jpg" /><br />
<br />
August 24- Now that Owen can sit up he can have better access to more toys! I remember doing this with Anna. It's great because he can reach all the toys and play with them one by one. Although, he usually ends up playing with the basket somehow.<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtxd1zsVT8GzqbloFaftEj4JkIW-27T7zcq44iLTOcki3edCrOIWFGfRMiSDxzOgTC3CwVAmOhltT0KksZNXXypX-CJqokC4vv-n7ItyjDEF5nt-ixBtB6mHl8-4rUN6-4928Z-OUYxQ15/s640/blogger-image-1467135455.jpg" /><br />
<br />
August 26- Anna turned 3 and Macy started school.<br />
<br />
August 28- Since Macy didn't have school today I thought we better go do something fun. I love this fish fountain so we headed down there and met up withe the Moshers. Our kids play so well together and had a ball. After playing in the fountain they played on the grass. (running around, chasing each other, having one kid run away then the rest of them would yell, "stop! come back!") I got to sit on the grass and play with Owen and have an adult conversation.<br />

My little girl is in Kindergarten! Where has time gone?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Her first day was August 26th. The school staggers in the kindergarteners so she only went once this week. I woke her up at 6:50 and she shot out of bed so excited. She had slept in her clothes so she wouldn't be late! I thought that was adorable, and a good idea. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
She didn't want to eat breakfast at home because she knew the school provides a free breakfast. So she was ready to leave at 7:05 a.m.! We can't get into the school to 7:15 so I had to hold her off but only for a few minutes. I drove her to school and wanted to walk in with her to eat breakfast. We arrived right at 7:15 as the bell was ringing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We dropped off her backpack then headed to the cafeteria. She already memorized her lunch number (4556) and punched it in like a champ. She ate then we headed off to class. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
She walked right into class and sat at her seat to color. She didn't even look back! I started to tear up but held it together until a teacher handed me a tissue. Then the tears came down. Once I got in the car I really cried. I'm not exactly sure why I was crying. I guess I'm sad that a part of Macy's life is over. She is growing up and maturing. I'm not sad that she's away from me because I know she loves school and she'll thrive there. I guess I also cried because I'm proud of who she is. For whatever reason I'm glad the first two days are over! (I also teared up the second day.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I hope you have a wonderful kindergarten year Macy! I'm so proud of you!!</div>

Since it was her birthday I let her have a cupcake for breakfast. It only happens once a year. I'm so happy she posed for these pictures! Usually she refuses so I was very happy.</div>

Macy had school which meant Anna got to be the spot light. I loved every minute of celebrating Anna! We had a little party with some of her friends from church. It was the same group that came over in June for the little party Macy threw for Anna. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the girls dress up in princess dressed right away since they usually end up doing that anyways. I brought some of the dresses downstairs to make it easier. I mostly did this so they weren't upstairs while Owen was napping but he didn't want to miss the party and didn't nap anyways. Luckily for Miles we have the doctor jacket! He's such a happy-go-lucky kid he probably would've been happy with a princess dress.</div>

After the party Anna and I went to Five Guys for lunch. I asked her what she wanted for lunch and she said McDonald's. I talked her into a better hamburger at Five Guys. The manager there asked how our day was going and I told him we were celebrating Anna's birthday. He gave us our meal for free! That was so nice of him! A birthday surprise!</div>

She pretty much only ate fries, and ketchup of course. I had so much fun sitting with just Anna talking to her about her favorite colors, cars parked nearby, what she wants to buy at the store, and songs she likes. </div>

<br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then we stopped at Target. Granny Dot's present was a trip to the store to buy whatever she wanted. I had so much fun going around the store with her. She picked out some Hello Kitty lipgloss first then found some nail polish. She thought she had to put the lipgloss back because she's used to me saying, "you can only get one thing!" It was so cute that I had to talk her into wanting multiple things. She also picked out a Minnie Mouse dress, a Frozen microphone, a headband, and a Barbie movie. </div>

When then picked up Macy from school. When we got home Anna opened her presents from my family. Great G&G Francis gave her this dress. She immediately wanted it on and danced around saying, "it's so fancy! It's so fancy!" She wore it non-stop for a few days straight. Great G&G Seymour gave her ten $1 bills. She threw them around saying, "I got monies! I got monies!" My parents gave her a Minnie Mouse backpack that she's excited to wear to preschool. </div>

And two, we had no lemonade. <div><br></div><div>She had the brilliant idea of drawing people's portraits for free. She wrote "free caricatures" on a paper and taped it to a chair. She then sat at the end of the driveway with paper and a pencil. It was around 3 pm so people were still at work. No one was driving by. She asked where everyone was then said daddy didn't ask anyone to come.

Today she went potty completely on her own THREE times!! One time she went inside the house while we were all outside. I was certain it was to go poop in her pants. I ran inside to find her walking out of the bathroom. I asked her if she had to go poop and she said she did, in the potty. I was so relieved. The third time tonight she even dumped the pee from her princess potty into the toilet all by herself! I can't believe this all. Prayer and fasting works!! She was regressing a little last week so I prayed Again and today was accident free!!!Jonathan and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053983672377955961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355605196372256414.post-71409164729917172092015-08-08T19:39:00.000-04:002015-09-04T20:47:05.758-04:00Hanging Rock State Park<div>

We had a completely free Saturday so we decided to go and do something fun. A friend suggested a place about 2 hours away called Hanging Rock State Park. There are a few hikes to waterfalls there so we chose an easy one that was only .3 miles. And a very easy .3 miles too.</div>

Now, the best thing about this park is the lake with a sand beach! It costs something like $4 to swim per person. My friend that suggested it said there is a diving board and that Ja will like it. She was exactly right. He wasn't too excited about going to a lake to swim but he loved the diving board. And you know who else liked it? MACY!!<br />
<br />
In order to jump off a person has to be able to swim unassisted from the shore to the platform. Macy tried it once then got scared because swimming in a lake is different than a pool. For one, you can't see the bottom! She was determined to jump off the diving board though. She asked for her goggles and then she swam all by herself!! I was so extremely proud of her. The funny thing is all the previous week I was teaching her freestyle and she practiced it every day! That really paid off! It's always great to have skills when you need them!<br />

I don't have any pictures of Macy swimming or jumping because Anna, Owen, and I were all watching her in the water. I was so proud of her that tears started coming. I don't know if I've ever been so proud of her for accomplishing something. The cutest part was that the platform was full of teenage boys and little Macy. The first jump Ja went off first so he could catch her. But she didn't need his help and requested that she jump off first next time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Out of all the teenagers on the platform only 5 or so were jumping. They were having a belly-flop contest. It was very entertaining to watch. Since there are two diving boards Ja had the other one all to himself. He was having a great time diving and jumping over and over. We had a fun time watching him too. (A side note- We had just started potty training with Anna the week before. She was laying still in the sand for a long time. I thought she was watching Ja but instead she was pooping. In her bathing suit. Thank goodness it wasn't very much.)</div>

After we left the park we got dressed then went to Cook-Out for dinner. We got home around 8 and put the kids to bed. We had such a fun day. The only sad thing is that we discovered this place at the end of the summer so we can't go back until next year! We will be going back though!<br />

My big boy is already 7 months old! Where does time go?! I feel like he has been with our family forever and he brings the best out in all of us. We all love and adore him. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Owen is generally a happy baby with lots to say. He loves attention from anyone and will talk and laugh back. He does not like being left alone in a room for any period of time, no matter how short. He does well when he's in the middle of the action. </div>

He is still working on cutting teeth. This past week I was sure he would have a tooth because he wasn't sleeping well, had a low fever, and overall sad. Still nothing to show for it though. This picture is him falling asleep in the ergo. He was being really fussy and I needed to put things away so I strapped him in. After a few minutes I looked down and saw this sweet baby face. I had to sit down and stare at him for a few minutes to try and soak in his precious face.</div>

He is still working on sitting up by himself. He seems to be content in the bumbo. Although, just today he's starting to arch his back to get out of it. It's time to sit up on your own baby!</div>

Macy put his sweatband on Owen. I thought he looked so adorable!</div>

Every 20 minutes she had to sit on the potty. She didn't always go but she always tried. However, she did poop three times in the potty! She had no accidents today either! I feel like that is a huge win! Even if tomorrow doesn't go as well we at least had one good day. She is also really good at pulling her underwear up and down. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We fasted and prayed yesterday that Anna will be potty trained this week. I also prayed to know what will motivate her because I tried a chart in the past with no success. I asked her what she wanted if she goes in the potty and she instantly replied "a bathing suit." She always keeps us on our toes! She is now the proud owner of a Frozen bathing suit. <font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"> Our prayers were answered!</font></div>Jonathan and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053983672377955961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355605196372256414.post-23792229408645613492015-08-03T23:08:00.001-04:002015-08-25T11:10:57.379-04:00July 2015<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXdGxaiPa99P8ZcYsokzWAhC-B1pUpFQ3SqyJ3AUobJD9oaYzTAs0tywiAGHNcwJNH3F3xv1K4Kw-zEGuKuhH08MVRLBMhlRqjIZVWVUXpYcABie07-_eZvQkr_j3VDjyrWtHlvNLy2JSt/s640/blogger-image--1002639153.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

July 31- Our last day of travel!! The kids slept really well during the night. Much better than the first time we slept in the car. And they slept in too! I took these sleeping pictures at 8 a.m. Everyone was asleep by 10 p.m. but got woken up when I had to stop for gas at 2 a.m. We got gas, I fed Owen and we were off again until morning.</div>

We reclined the back seat so the girls could sleep better. I also made sure Macy wore pj's because she got cold the first time. I can't believe they slept even with the sun in their eyes like this.<br />

The last hour of driving seemed to take a looong time. When the sights start looking familiar it makes you feel like you should be home already. When we finally pulled in the drive way I couldn't believe we made it home. Even as I'm writing this over a month later I still can't believe we drove all the way to Utah with three little kids and they did amazingly well. People ask if we would do it again and I say, yes, but not for a couple years. Owen was at a great stage where he can entertain himself and sleeps a lot in the car. Next summer he will be 18 months and that's an awful time to travel because he'll be wanting to get out of the car seat all the time. The girls were great because they are entertained by movies. We feel extremely blessed to drive there and back in safety. Our guardian angels must have been watching over us. Our prayers were definitely answered!</div>

My mom drove up to Utah to spend time with us. Isn't that nice of her. It was very helpful, especially all those times a kid fell asleep in the car. She would stay behind and wait while they napped. The kids enjoyed their time with Grandma. My dad was helping with the temple maintenance so he couldn't come.<br>

July 24- Pioneer Day! I feel like we really celebrated Pioneers this year by trekking across the country like them. Well, kind of like them. We did have air conditioning and a DVD player...<br>
<br>
We drove up to Park City to ride the Alpine Slide. It was a very fun day and perfect weather. Our first stop was a pizza place on Main Street. Owen's eyes got really big when he saw the pizza. j/k :)<br>

Riding the Alpine Slide was another time it was very helpful having my mom around. I'm not sure how we would have done it otherwise. It would have taken a lot more time waiting in line since Ja had to ride with Macy and I had to ride with Anna. Grandma stayed with Owen at the bottom.</div>

Here we are at the top of the lift. The girls enjoyed riding up the ski lift. Macy was a little nervous and Anna didn't seem to care she could fall to her death. It was a gorgeous day!</div>

Ready to ride! Anna was cheering and saying "woohoo!" the whole way down. It was so cute. I loved riding with her. The sad part was she asked to go again when we finished. Sorry girl, that's another $24. </div>

We did get to ride the city bus again back to our car. After a near miss though because Macy had to use the little girls room while we were waiting and the nearest one was far away. I greatly enjoyed our time in Park City and would love to go back soon.<br>
<br>
We drove back to Lehi and picked up Colin and Jill (another great reason to have a minivan!). For dinner we met Rachel, Darin, and Wesley at J Dawg's in Orem. This was our first time meeting Wesley. I loved how Owen reached out to show his love for Wesley. Those boys will be wrestling each other really soon!<br>

Then, we drove down to Spanish Fork for their fireworks show. There was a carnival going on first that we stopped at. The girls got to choose one ride and got a snow cone. I thought these pictures of Owen with Jill and Colin are so cute. Especially the one with the hat. Owen has the cutest little face!<br>

The fireworks show didn't start until 10 p.m.! It was a good show though. We put a blanket down on a baseball field and waited for the show to start. Macy had to use the restroom again and Jill and Colin walked all around trying to find one for her. They almost missed the show! It was a super late night for us but everyone slept well. </div>

July 25- Saturday we planned a little hike to Bridal Veil falls in Provo Canyon. As you can see the girls were thrilled to be riding with Aunt Jill in the back seat. </div>

We met Rachel and Darin there too. The falls were a little crazy since it was a nice Saturday on a holiday weekend but it was still fun. The girls wanted to put their feet in the water and were quickly introduced to the freezing cold Provo river water. Not at all like the warm lake water here in North Carolina! It was very effective at cooling us off though. We walked around on the rocks for awhile. Ja climbed up the rocks to the base of the waterfall and stood almost behind the water.<br>

The girls had fun walking along the wood beams. I think it was called discovery park. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghATQvZFgJQpqok1WD-0ejgAGGjeua78ziebHrS8ksl2Y1vynp6qI-hMqWRLEXtDbv-hg4l9Qtk2DGQv3uPOuYKiyZ8MJNCpo8ZkykVqR46oPDjwFRUFjeoL5ObH8L_a-35c6PNu3rFtCC/s640/blogger-image-970665175.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghATQvZFgJQpqok1WD-0ejgAGGjeua78ziebHrS8ksl2Y1vynp6qI-hMqWRLEXtDbv-hg4l9Qtk2DGQv3uPOuYKiyZ8MJNCpo8ZkykVqR46oPDjwFRUFjeoL5ObH8L_a-35c6PNu3rFtCC/s640/blogger-image-970665175.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Owen and grandma</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiogUEsQyzMPyDpbpg23_GDxoANSJrRqwWEjUbnB62k9Fledu03a7GH7RyKfuw1n1BNiAVBdZK6n5QJ9gOB05gxddvSXbYrdyR9evHO1jqUTrvgGCqlWR8qmJ18Hxk5udyzW9FCBqcvmZoW/s640/blogger-image--196997564.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiogUEsQyzMPyDpbpg23_GDxoANSJrRqwWEjUbnB62k9Fledu03a7GH7RyKfuw1n1BNiAVBdZK6n5QJ9gOB05gxddvSXbYrdyR9evHO1jqUTrvgGCqlWR8qmJ18Hxk5udyzW9FCBqcvmZoW/s640/blogger-image--196997564.jpg"></a></div><br></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We went back to Jill's place and had a BBQ with Colin's family who drove in that night for a family reunion. </span></div>

July 26- We went to church with Jill and Colin. Luckily Jill is a nursery worker so she took Anna into nursery with her. Macy loves primary and had no problem going into a new primary. After church we ate lunch then drove up to Salt Lake. We wanted to show the girls the temple, Visitors Center, and Conference Center. Hopefully next time we watch General Conference it will spark a memory for Macy. She was eager to get on the roof of the Conference Center because we told her there are fountains and trees. </div>

Here we are in the Visitor's Center. I was excited to show the girls this Christus statue. Macy pointed out all the holes in His hands, feet, and side. We also saw the replica of the Salt Lake temple. It was pretty cool to see the inside of it since I've never been inside.</div>

After the temple we dropped my mom off then went to dinner with our friends the Oates. We knew them in Virginia and they moved to Utah the year before we moved. It was fun to see them and their fourth daughter Remi. Ellen was about to have another baby too! The kids played well together just like old times. Macy and Anna did not want to leave! Sadly we did not take any pictures!</div>

July 27- BYU day! We really wanted to show the girls BYU and I really wanted to see all the new changes to the campus. One of the buildings I went to class in is no longer standing and a brand new building was built. I would have had many classes in the new building. They also put in new landscape on the hill just south of campus. I was very glad to see the pond where Ja proposed is still there. </div>

Our first stop was the Cougar Eat for lunch. Then we headed to the BYU bookstore to get the kids BYU shirts. Macy and Anna was very excited about this! It was so fun to be there with my kids picking out shirts! Kids are something I dreamed about while attending college so it was fun to have them there with me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course after only a few steps every kid wanted to be carried. Anna was in the stroller.</div>

After BYU we drove back up to Lehi and had dinner at Zupa's with our friends the Jones. We met Andrew and Chelsey when we first got married so we've known them for 10 years now. We both have 3 kids so it was fun to meet up again. We went to their house after dinner so the kids could play while we caught up. Then the kids had more ice cream. Those lucky ducks. Again the kids didn't want to leave because they were having fun playing with toys and more kids. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is the only picture we took at the Jones' house but it's a keeper. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZSeICujqbVt9Q4XqWqJXCMN2AxUqudBkDBEeVawqQWe32TL5WhSUekgj7fdsTIyqHIGze6GId2sKJwpdbw577cwC8fvOz0ezZbwR67EyYjwlLR9mHtt_LFYVpps5gRGMqa9t2y-GFKxd_/s640/blogger-image-748305680.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZSeICujqbVt9Q4XqWqJXCMN2AxUqudBkDBEeVawqQWe32TL5WhSUekgj7fdsTIyqHIGze6GId2sKJwpdbw577cwC8fvOz0ezZbwR67EyYjwlLR9mHtt_LFYVpps5gRGMqa9t2y-GFKxd_/s640/blogger-image-748305680.jpg"></a></div><br></div>

July 28- Our last day in Utah :( I was really sad because Jill didn't get to say good-bye to the girls. Her and Colin were leaving that morning for Colin's family reunion and the girls slept in from going to bed late. I actually felt like crying. They loved seeing their aunt Jill and it kind of broke my heart they couldn't say good-bye. So I recorded a video of Jill saying good-bye but in the end the girls didn't want to watch it. Go figure. </div>

We really wanted to go to a temple while in Utah. We had to take advantage of all the many temples since ours is 2 hours away! My mom had to leave this morning so Ja and I took turns going. He did a session in the morning then I did sealings after that. The funny part was Ja saw his Uncle Will and Aunt Linda while he was walking out. I saw a mom of a high school friend inside the temple. What are the chances of both of us seeing someone we know? We went to the American Fork temple.</div>

We had no plans for the rest of the day so I called Ellen to see what they were doing. Macy and Anna were requesting to play with them again. They were going on a child friendly hike to Donut Falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Their daughter Remi napped while we went to the temple so the timing worked out perfectly. We met them at the bottom of the hike entrance. Up in the mountains the temperature was just right. It was another beautiful day and a beautiful hike.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anna did really well hiking on her own -up until the very end where the rocks got a little slippery from the water.</div>

Alas, it was time to go. Back to Jill's place to start packing up. We were all very sad to leave and the girls reminded me often they didn't want to go home. I didn't blame them! Being on vacation is a lot of fun! I didn't want to go back to life and reality either! I knew I would have to start potty training Anna and the thought scared me. But it was time. At least we got to stay in Colorado for another night and half day. <br>

We had such a fun trip with a lot of pictures I'm going to split the trip up so I don't have 100 pictures in one post. Literally that's how many I have.<div>
<br></div>
<div>
July 19- We went to church, came home, packed the car, and left at 2 p.m. for our very long drive. People said we were crazy for attempting a 29 hour drive with three small children. We were about to find out. I had plenty of snacks, activities, and movies packed to hopefully last the two weeks.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
We stopped in Knoxville (3 1/2 hours away) to have dinner with Devin, Dee, and Oliver. It was a perfect two hour stop and the kids loved playing with Oliver's toys. We didn't take a picture though! We put the kids in their pajamas and hoped for the best. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
That night we drove through a terrible rain storm. There was so much lightening in Missouri it was frightening. I'm so glad Ja was driving because I would have been terrified with all the rain. He did very well and I'm so glad we prayed for our safety before we left. Our prayer was definitely answered!</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Anna got the best sleep that night. She slept the whole night minus the screaming fit that lasted a minute. I think it was a nightmare. Macy was up from 12am to 3 (which also meant I was awake). Owen got up while Macy was asleep. Needless to say we were all exhausted in the morning. But overall the night went really well. Driving through the night was so much better than driving with kids during the day! Ten hours in the car with them went by so fast since they were sleeping for a majority of it. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
July 20- The kids woke up at 6 am with the sun. We stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast in Kansas, not too far from the Colorado border. </div>

We left our home at 2 p.m. Sunday and arrived at Tiffany's house about 4:30 Monday afternoon. That's a long time in the car!! However, the kids were amazing! Truly amazing! We stopped for lunch breaks, gas breaks, and potty breaks. We stretched our legs as much as possible. I would nurse Owen when we stopped but if he was hungry and we weren't stopping I fed him a bottle in his car seat. I seriously couldn't believe how well the kids did. I am still impressed.<br>
<br>
Tiffany made us a delicious home cooked meal for dinner which was greatly appreciated. The kids all went to bed early (hallelujah!) so Ja and I went to bed around 9 pm. We were both exhausted!<br>

July 21- Owen was up a few times in the night so Ja let me sleep in. I didn't even hear the kids wake up in the morning and figured they were still sleeping. Instead they were all playing downstairs in the basement. </div>

Tiffany was so kind and let me stay home and relax while she took the older kids to story time at the library. They also went to a park. I had some books I wanted to read so this was perfect for me :)</div>

That night after another delicious home cooked meal of Tiffany's we went to an ice cream shop in Windsor. The kids all enjoyed their birthday cake flavor. Notice Anna's dress- she loved wearing Lily's clothes while we were there and changed her outfits multiple times a day. Lily wasn't too keen on the idea of Anna wearing her clothes but kindly obliged.<br>

I'm not sure how this all got started, but Macy and Lily wanted to have a lemonade stand. We didn't have lemonade so we went to the grocery store. Taking 6 little kids to the store was an adventure. We bought Country Time lemonade and cookie dough to make things easy.<br>

After yet another delicious home cooked meal by Tiffany we drove to Fort Collins to go to an ice cream shop again. There was some crazy guys somewhat drumming on the corner. I guess it was enough of a beat to get the kids to dance.<br>

On the road again! It was about a 7 1/2 hour drive to Lehi, UT. The kids did pretty well again. I did get pulled over in Wyoming for speeding. I was so grateful he only gave me a warning. I still have my perfect driving record- knock on wood. There was some fighting in the car but the girls fight at home too so there's not much difference there. Thank goodness I packed a lot of movies! Those were the saving grace!<div><br></div><div>Ja drew a few pictures on the white boards to pass the time and hopefully entertain kids (it didn't really work but he was proud of his artwork). I made them take a break in between movies and that's when the fighting and whining happened. <br><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggUddxkqxb3sUG_ehGHxIjM28vUOnBhG2XMhpRW_YCPh_8iJU1e-0-Z4rUWDCLIaKikzmW-d8lfJzND8ykex9L-_qHUgEDcWJFF9zKPI5i635JvvCAo65oqoLMnPCgXOSGOJnzHoVG3k79/s640/blogger-image-1432849560.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggUddxkqxb3sUG_ehGHxIjM28vUOnBhG2XMhpRW_YCPh_8iJU1e-0-Z4rUWDCLIaKikzmW-d8lfJzND8ykex9L-_qHUgEDcWJFF9zKPI5i635JvvCAo65oqoLMnPCgXOSGOJnzHoVG3k79/s640/blogger-image-1432849560.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl5CxQ-8EUWZxV-BPfjFEBzfgVrb3J5-6Nt9S4xo7_mtraQPcVWL1T1x_A7Ry2UvCumabBMJTNw5eMiGdpUTjWAXF9fXTRcWv3pu2vE0304UFtXYSm_-tTzPGDn2WXZNwjjf3lzUqPnkbN/s640/blogger-image-109735568.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl5CxQ-8EUWZxV-BPfjFEBzfgVrb3J5-6Nt9S4xo7_mtraQPcVWL1T1x_A7Ry2UvCumabBMJTNw5eMiGdpUTjWAXF9fXTRcWv3pu2vE0304UFtXYSm_-tTzPGDn2WXZNwjjf3lzUqPnkbN/s640/blogger-image-109735568.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs6vNMg2eQfs2d4E3-zqQcivj7xCodsZnAitdCJI_inSZX4ar2xUDZjJAVjmPQ-fJj5gihz-I6RIO1H2BcWaurFMwpA4Oxr-1tOqfNd9Rc_guIHVnyk3pN90W3MjMaz_bwuFqPmxp7rY-0/s640/blogger-image--2127638083.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs6vNMg2eQfs2d4E3-zqQcivj7xCodsZnAitdCJI_inSZX4ar2xUDZjJAVjmPQ-fJj5gihz-I6RIO1H2BcWaurFMwpA4Oxr-1tOqfNd9Rc_guIHVnyk3pN90W3MjMaz_bwuFqPmxp7rY-0/s640/blogger-image--2127638083.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><br>

This is the kids "We are excited to be in Utah" picture. We made it to our final destination! We still love each other too :) Jill was still at work which made the girls sad. She had to work early in the morning the next day too so they didn't get to see her until late. Jill and Colin's basement was huge and the set up was great for all of us. We were so grateful we could stay with them!</div>
