Hope- to infinity and beyond

This weekend we went with "hope kids" to see Toy Story 3. It was such a fun family outing! We loved the movie, and we loved being in a theater filled with families who have special kids. I loved hearing other suction machines, beeps and gurgles. I loved seeing the hallway filled with wheel chairs. I loved being able to go to on a special outing all together, and I loved feeling like we fit right in!
The movie theater was right next to the Mayan restaurant so we decided to splurge and take the boys there for lunch. They loved the jungle atmosphere and were really excited to see the divers jump off of the cliffs!
Thank you "hope kids" for a wonderful Saturday activity!

Good things to come

This was so tender to me. If you haven't seen this, I promise you'll be glad you did.

Am I brave?

The other day Mitchell came to me with a little garbage can on his head. He held up the lid as a shield and said, "Mom, am I brave?

Yes, Mitchell. You are brave.

I'm so glad you had the courage to come to earth

to learn and to grow (but not too fast)

And to be my little boy forever.

The wonder of Water

(Yes, I feed Mitchell)

The last day of school!

Digging for worms

Each day we have some time set aside as "learning time." For one of our projects we read the book "Swimmy" then did an underwater project!

Aunt Alisa and Uncle John had a sleep over with us. We spent the afternoon at Trafalga then got shave ice on our way home! YUM!

I LOVE SUMMER!

The Reservoir

We all had a great time at the reservoir! The boys loved being with all of their Baadsgaard cousins!
Water + Sand = happy kids

Pioneer Cemetery

On Memorial day, my family has a tradition to visit the Pioneer Cemetery in Spanish Fork.
My mom shares a story of our pioneer heritage and gives the 8 year old children a special book that she wrote.
This cemetery is a special place to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have gone before.

Someone to look up to

Temple Square

"When you come to the temple you will love your family with a deeper love than you have ever felt before.
The temple is about families."

Two celestial beings

How thankful I am to know
that through Him,

my family can be together forever.
