Like a Child

So our car is on the fritz again, (don't get me started on that!) So Wednesday night I was at Young Womens while Jon and McKenna were home working on the car. To make things easier for himself Jon got an idea to put the Pack-N-Play outside and just let her play in it. Jon was just working checking things out and all of a sudden hears McKenna saying hi and randomly talking. He looks around to see who is there and there is nobody around. So back to work Jon goes, all of a sudden McKenna says bye, signs I love you, and blows kisses. Finally Jon walks over and asks her who was here, she smiles and says Je Je, (which is how she says Jesus)
Just hearing the story and reading it again makes me smile. It reminded me how perfect she is. Jon said she was the only one there that could probably feel the spirit at that time cause he was so mad. How great would it be, to be as close as she is to her Heavenly Father. I love my little girl so much, each and every day with her is different, some are funner then others but everyone is special. Thanks McKenna for reminding me that when we are in the right place and right state of mind we occasionally get a visitor.

Update

So Grandma was supposed to go home tomorrow, but due to my grandfather being the farmer he is, he is extremely busy! Instead of going home and being worried about what will happen if grandpa isn't around and she needs something grandma found out that her insurance would cover as long as she was making progress in her rehabilitation. So she will be staying, not sure for how long. She is in our prayers and we hope the best for her.
McKenna and I are staying until Friday when Jon will come get us so that we can head to a long weekend with Grandpa Al and his family. We are excited. It has been awhile.

All fall down!!!

This weekend Jon and I had some projects planned due to my sister Sydni is coming to stay with us in June as I stated before. I was kind of excited for a weekend with the three of us. Well on Friday I recieved a phone call from my mom informing me that my grandmother had fallen and broken her leg and that they were going in for surgery first thing Saturday morning. I called Jon upset just because I am the type to worry a bit to much. After talking to my mom through out the day Jon and I decided it would be best for us to come see my grandma and spend some time with them. So here I am . . . In Idaho . . . I love it up here but love being at home with my husband!! This week is finals for him so us being gone could be good so he can stay focused. He also has the head of IT in his company coming into town so he is going to be pretty busy. McKenna and I are taking the bus home on Tuesday because I have a YW activity on Wednesday that our class is in charge of. Then we are packing up and leaving for Boise first thing Friday morning. We better relax at The Bubba's because our life is going to get CRAZY!!


Oh and Grandma is doing much better. She got up and sat in a chair this afternoon for awhile and ate on her own. We aren't sure if she will ever be back to her old self but we also know she is very stubborn.

April in Review

One Monday we decided after we got Jon that we ware going to go to the park and have a picnic and play on the toys, it was nice to be outside with the family, here are some fun pics from that night. . .

Just a cute picture I asked Jon to take, he makes fun of me for liking it so much.
She is signing I love you, or trying at least.


I love these two more then words could ever say.


She got her courage from her Daddy that's for sure, she LOVES slides.

Jon's dad came and visited his brother for a couple days, we were able to have dinner with him. It would be nice to see him more then once a year.

We had a nice Easter also, we went up to Idaho to spend it with "Bubba's" as McKenna calls them. She had her very own egg hunt. We are so lucky to be so close to our families.


Opening eggs with Bubba

While we were in Idaho Falls the sun peeked out for a minute and we went and fed the ducks.


Come on, anyone who has been to the greenbelt and fed the ducks knows it is gross!!!

MY FAMILY CAME TO VISIT US!!!! Hard to believe I know, my mom and Jon planned it all behind my back, they are getting pretty sneaky. . . . I didn't take many pictures but Sydni is coming in June, along with my parents coming the weekend of the air show =)

Well Jon has finished his final paper and has been patiently sitting over my shoulder while I finished this post. So until next time, it won't be 2 months again, I promise!!


TreeHouse Museum

Jon and I have heard about a place in Ogden called The TreeHouse Museum, we decided to try it a couple weeks ago and are SO glad we did!!!! It is amazing for McKenna, she loved every minute of it. Lots to learn for her and tons for her to play with. We are getting an annual pass there because they have "Toddler Time" on Wednesdays and I figure her and I could do that once a week. Here are some random pictures from our afternoon there.


This "storyteller" really freaked me out!

McKenna loved the firetruck! The Hat, the wheel, EVERYTHING about it!!!
And I think this one is one of my favorite of the day for some reason. . .




So if you are in the Ogden and have kids we HIGHLY recommend this place.

Its Been awhile

Well since I last wrote, we have unpacked from our amazing new home. I still love it! I will get pictures up this weekend, FINALLY, I know. Jon is finishing up another term at school. One more down, don't want to count how many more. He is so amazing and such a hard worker. We miss him dearly during the week but we value our weekends so much though!!! We are trying to be out and having fun. Hopefully we will have lots to post about over the summer!!

A look in our lives

My photo
Our lives started together in 2006, shortly after we found out giggles, hugs, and diapers would fill our lives, we added little M in August '07. Jon is balancing life taking care of his girls, school, and work. Melissa stays at home with little M and loves being a mom and wife. Since then I have gained over a hundred pounds. I am sick of the restrictions it gives me. I am tired of feeling groggy and miserable. I am starting over. Starting a new and teaching my family the joys of healthy living!
