*Picnic at the Temple*

We LOVE going to the temple! Hunter is always asking if we can go to the temple. We decided that it was a good family home evening to go and have a picnic at the temple, so we picked up some yummy Hungry Howie pizza and off to the temple we went.

Grandma came with us and we had such a good time!
So happy!

Hunter kept running in front of the camera doing this pose!

I love taking pictures of this beautiful temple, I sure am going to miss it once we move!Hunter said a couple of really funny things while we were here. First one: He jumps on top of this pillar thing, stretched his arms out and yelled "I LOVE THIS PLACE!"

Second one: I am telling Hunter that he needs to use his soft voice because this is Jesus' house and we need to be reverent, he says "Why, is Jesus asleep in there?"

Grandma and the kids.

Hunter and Skyla are the cutest brother and sister ever! They love each other so much! (even though Lala doesn't have that much Patience with Hunter)

After we were done eating Hunter wanted to "go and see Jesus" and so we did. I wish I would have had my video camera, he gets so excited about Jesus, he loves him so much!
As soon as the sister missionary was done talking they have a presentation with "Jesus" talking and Hunter was listening to every word with big eyes and a huge smile!

*Pirate Island*

Before Chris left to go to Texas for three weeks we decided to make his last day with us really fun. We decided to go to Pirate Island. It was such a fun place and we're excited to go back (even though our waiter was AWFUL!) For those of you who have not been, it's kind of like the Mayan up in Salt Lake minus the divers. The food was actually really good to! (We got pizza) This is us playing in the arcade room before our food came out.
Look at my man! He is so strong!:) He punched this bag right after two HUGE dudes did and he got the top score! Nice work Honey!

All I can say about this picture is; My girl takes food VERY seriously!

So much fun, can't wait to do it again when Grandma comes down!

*Hunter's Three Year Old Pictures...Sorta*

So I took Hunter's Three Year Old Pictures in May (that's when he turned three) and let's just say he was not in the mood for his picture to be taken. I put them on my computer and completely forgot about them because I was going to re-do them. So this is all I got from this shoot.This is how he winks and I'm so glad I captured it because he has to turn his head and do this funny thing with his mouth...every time, and I don't want to forget it.

There was a horse the direction that he is looking...so distracting.

I love my little Hunter beyond words and am so grateful for the happy, energetic, sweet boy that he is!

*Most Terrifying Moment of my Life!*

*Quick note...everything is just fine now!*

O.k. so the other day Hunter and Emma were wrestling in our living room. Me and Lala were on the couch right in front of them. The wrestling turned into a pillow fight, they are laughing and having so much fun. Then, the next thing you know there is this HUGE thump! Emma is saying "Hunter.......Hunter?" So I stand up immediately and see my boy completely lifeless. Of course I panicked and ran around the coffee table and picked him up. When I picked him up he came to and looked around like he was scared and didn't know where he was and started sobbing. I still don't know exactly what happened, he may have just passed out by getting the wind knocked out of him, I don't know. All I know is that I was bawling and Hunter was bawling. I thought, for that split second that my precious little boy was dead. I have never felt anything like it in my life nor do I ever want to feel like it again. It was as if his life flashed before my eyes. Anyway, just thinking about it is making my heart race and my eyes swell so I am done.

*Explanation for Texas*

Saying Good Bye! It was very emotional!
And we're off to Denver!

Unpacking!

Beautiful Lydia fell asleep from me tickling her little arm.

O.K. so I will give you the condensed version. Our Brother in law, Chad lives in Texas and is always calling Chris with a different job that we could move down there and do. We never really took him seriously. Well, we have been out of work pretty much since December (some odd jobs randomly) and had both been praying ALOT to know a direction to go, we feel like we have just been stuck in a rut. So when Chad called about a month ago with a new job offer we looked into it a little closer. (Still not to seriously though)

We were going to be moving my brother in law and sister in law out to Denver for Medical School (Go John!) and decided that me, Chris, and Dad would fly to Austin from Denver (Cheaper flights) and just check it out. So we pack up John and Tammy (for the third time) and drove to Denver, which is just simply beautiful, got them squared away and flew to Texas. Donna came to pick us up from the airport and we went straight to Cindy's house. It was so good to see all of our family again. The next day we had a meeting with Chris C. (The owner of Anytime Fitness) and things just went really smooth and the next thing you know my Chris and Dad are now three way partners for Anytime Fitness. We all feel really good about this and are excited to start our new adventure! Chris and Dad drove the truck and trailer down on Monday and they are starting to get things moving. As soon as they find us a place to live, me and the kids will move down.

*McDonalds and Santa Claus*

So today Lala had an Dr's Appointment. Hunter has been such a good boy while Daddy has been gone (especially at the Dr.) that I wanted to do something cheep and fun for him so we decided to go to McDonald's. So we get there and wait in line and then it is our turn. There is a man next to us that looks EXACTLY like the real Santa Claus ;)(Whistling to himself and just plain cheerful) he bends down and asks Hunter how he is today and Hunter says "Good, how are you?" He says good and then asks Hunter if he is being a good boy for his Mommy? Hunter of course says yes and then the man proceeds to ask Hunter is he is being a good brother to this (he points) cute little girl and Hunter says "Na" which is completely not true. He is the best big brother ever! So we get our food and tell the man Good bye. I sit Hunter down at the table and me and Lala went to get us a drink when I overheard a little boy (around 8) ask, "Are you Santa" and the man replies "Yes I am and here is my address and you can write to me anytime!" The little boy says "Well what are you doing here" and Santa replies "I'm just thawing off" So I go and sit with Hunter and I asked him "Do you know who that was talking to you" and he said (without skipping a beat) "Yeah Mom, it was Santa!" Silly me for second guessing myself.:)
