What a Treasure

I feel like I've hit the jackpot of treasure troves. Brian and I love to be together and I feel so blessed that he's wanted me to be with him and his family at Disneyland every time they go. We both really love the place and the magic it makes for us!

2020 was the first time I went with them. We went just before COVID-19 shut everything down. 

Disneyland was still closed in 2021 due to COVID-19 but when 2022 came around Brian wanted to go again to help the family look forward to something fun after losing Esther in 2021. Summer was still struggling with the weight of everything so Brian asked me to go to help with the kids. We still had to wear masks while inside buildings but we were able to have a good time.
 Jaime was able to come for the second day of the fun!

When 2023 rolled around Brian wanted my entire family to come so Jaime and I and the kids made it in 2023. Both our families wore matching Disney Star Wars shirts. 

Brian really wanted me to go with them again in 2024 but I just felt like we shouldn't go. I'd been so many times that I worried how others in my family would feel that Brian wanted me to go with them again. His family still had fun, I mean it's Disneyland how can you not?! However he did say they missed us and I did miss them when he would send pictures of their fun. 

But then in 2025 I still had the same internal battles as to why we shouldn't go. When I was in Vegas to bring Olivia to work for Brian, Summer and Brian and I talked about it again. They both said that the memories for their kids are worth it for them. They have more fun with their cousins. So I agreed that yes I wanted to go with them. Talked with Jaime and he made it happen. Cleared his schedule and we made it this year to the parks! Our kids had such a blast. It was fun to share the places we enjoy with my parents. Even though they said they wouldn't want to go again 😆. It was just too much walking and being on their feet for them. They loved the rides though!

Brian and Summer, I love you both. I love that our families have the friendships they do. 
Brian, thanks for always wanting to be with me. We've made some awesome memories.

Merry Christmas from the Morales Family

This year's holiday card.  Front Back I don't write a separate letter but next year I'm thinking I want to make one of those holiday cards that says a few did bits about everyone. Short and sweet, greeting card like and easy to read but filled with love.  I like to post our holiday cards on social media and send it out with a Christmas greeting. That way it gets out to more of our friends and family. :)

Time with James

Image
  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. 😊

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...
