Goodbyes Are Hard

Brian and Summer took Olivia to the airport this evening. She was a great worker in the office and helper in their home. They've created a lot of fun memories together. 

I appreciate their hospitality and loving Olivia. Both Brian and Summer said it was tough sending her off. Summer said she got teary. I'm so glad they made a connection while she was there. Olivia was nervous at first just because she didn't know them super well. (The cousins of course. But being around adults is different) Olivia was grateful for their support. I feel so blessed to have Brian and Summer love my kids the way that they do. 

Olivia is flying to Boise where we will pick her up for Lindsey and Isaac's open house. Then Olivia will be packing and going to Rexburg for her first semester there. 

We made it to Boise and checked in to our hotel. Aidan and I rode up with Mom and Dad. Tyler and Jaime came later after football. 

We walked in to the hotel and I said "Dad, you're the guest of the day!" They got a room upgrade and small gift from the hotel. 

Lindsey and Isaac came and met up with us for dinner at Tucanos Brazilian Grill. We missed Jaime and Tyler at dinner. Afterwards we went to the hotel and hung out in mom and dad's room watching the BYU game. We visited until Jaime and Tyler get there and then Olivia's flight landed. Lindsey and Isaac went to pick her up. When they got back we were all so happy to be together and visit.

THREE Years?!?!?!

On Wednesday September 3rd, 2008 I was at my Mom's house. I started having small contractions that kept getting more frequent. When I would be talking to my mom and have to stop just to breathe we decided that I was in labor and would probably be going to the hospital that night rather than the next morning for my scheduled induction. We had dinner there and after dinner I told Jaime to go ahead and go to mutual as he was in the Young Men's presidency. I wasn't in enough pain and didn't want to go to the hospital too early. Lindsey and Olivia would stay the night since they were going to anyway so Jaime and I could just get up Thursday morning and head to the hospital to be induced into labor. We got the girls in to bed and I said good bye. My brother Darin was home and he drove me to the hospital at 8:30 p.m. I sent Jaime a message I was going and he and my dad (our ward's bishop) would meet me there. I got checked in by 9 p.m. and the nurse checked me and said I...

Living Life Day to Day

My kids are wonderful. They are growing up into wonderful children. I love them so much. We've been very busy with this and that recently. This will be a long recap of some of what's been going on. :) The Primary Program was Sunday Sept 22. (I forgot to get a picture of them on that day but I did get pics of them the previous Sunday.) All four of them memorized their parts and stood at the microphone to say them without any hesitation at all. They were cute to watch singing the songs. Aidan was funny to watch with his gestures and making a heart with his hands through some of the songs. My parents and grandparents were able to come and watch. It was a special treat for the kids to have them there.  The Sunday this picture was taken there were hundreds of yellow butterflies all over the purple flowering bushes. It's hard to see them but on the left you can see one up close.  Tyler had his first talk in primary the Sunday after the program. He stood up to the mi...

Time with James

  I invited my nephew James to come stay with us for a week. He's been so much fun to have around. We've had good Sunday and FHE meetings with him, game time - lots of games, and I've just enjoyed his humor and seeing him spend time with my kids.  More games and smoothies. And having three boys to mow the lawn sure gets the job done quick! They were so helpful and happy to work together.  A cute Koda napping picture for us to enjoy. 😊
