Is there anyting more beautiful...

than a great-grandmother cuddling her grandchild?


Maya, Aliyah and I were able to spend a morning with Grandmother Cahoon (Ken's maternal grandmother) and his Aunt Carol. We had a wonderful visit and it is always so much fun and so inspiring to visit with Grandmother.
And the girls had SO much fun playing with Aunt Carol. They would hide underneath a desk and pretend to be monsters! Then, they would come out and scare her! They just laughed and laughed!



Oh, and did I mention that Carol fixed us fresh fruit smoothies and sandwiches on homemade bread!?!?! YUM! (which, by the way she cut into triangles just for Maya and Aliyah!) It was a wonderful morning!

Birthdays!

Maya and I celebrated our birthdays the last two weeks! We went to the petting zoo for Maya's and mine was on Easter!

Since I will not have an Easter birthday again, I asked Ken for an Easter basket this year!
Oh..and a few more pictures! A couple of weeks ago we went to St. George to visit some friends. They have five boys and when I walked out to the garage to check on Maya, there she was holding their snake!!!

Oh and one more VERY important, recent event....our city league team took first place!!! Way to go gals! You guys are awesome!

Cousin Time

Collin & Casen came over to play the other day! They are such good and sweet boys and it was really fun to see Collin and Maya play together! (for those that don't know, Collin & Casen are Dave & JesseAnn Mink's boys. Dave and I were best friends growing up and it is SOOO fun to see Maya & Collin becoming friends as well!)

Big sister helping out!

After Family Home Evening, we like to have a short "testimony time." Aliyah usually runs around and watches us. Well, last testimony time, Maya said that she could help Aliyah! It was soooo cute and so funny! She got right behind Aliyah and started whispering in her ear. After she was done helping, Maya ran off and we all clapped for Aliyah. Aliyah LOVED it and started laughing!

Kangaroo Zoo

Maya is at the age where she loves to tell me where she wants to go and what she wants to do that day. One of her favorite places is the Kangaroo Zoo (a place that has a bunch of blow-up slides and trampolines!) We wanted to share her favorite place with dad. As you can tell from the picture...he loved it...but, I'm not sure how much Aliyah liked it! :)Maya loves going down the big slides! :) She was a "little nervous" the first time, but did great.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

From Maya & Aliyah: "Happy Valentine's Day!" Maya making a Valentine card for her daddy!
Dad has been out of town and gets home late tonight, so we decided to surprise him with some homemade valentine's! :)

I love my husband...

it's 10pm and I'm exhausted and am going to bed. But, my sweet husband just left to take our angel Maya to the doctor. Her temperature has ranged from 100 to 104 over the past two days and she just can't seem to kick this fever. The only appointment the after-hours doctor had was at 10:20. I offered and offered to take her, but he insisted on him going and me going to bed. So, that's what I'll do, but my heart is just so full of gratitude that I had to share my feelings.
