When did life get so busy that 4 months goes by in a blink? I wish I were better at keeping up on this. We've been crazy with piano, scouts, Young men, primary, gymnastics, band and more band! And girls choir....oh and parties lots of holiday parties. Every time I look at the calendar for a break it seems like there isn't one. It seems like I keep saying next week every week.
We just got back from Sydney's first gymnastics meet. She did absolutely fabulous and I'm going to post pictures as soon as I download them. It was a long weekend with no school on Monday and I took the kids out Friday for Sydney's meet. I'll tell more about it in it's own post, but really I wanted to write down what my cute Abby said today.
When I picked the girls up from school for piano lessons today they got in the car and Abby gave me some interesting information. Sydney has a friend Maddie from school who just lives up the road and apparently they had a conversation that Abby wanted to tell me about.
Abby: Sydney's friend Maddie says she wants to marry Jacob and have beautiful babies together.
Me: Oh? Does she have a crush on Jacob?
Sydney: Maybe...
Abby: Nah, she's just weird.
I started laughing. Then when Jacob got into the car I told him that Abby had shared a little news with me about Maddie and did he hear about it.
He gets a big smile on his face and says...She called me her prince and said she was my princess and asked me to protect her from Sydney. I said if there was a dragon she'd better be careful because I would feed her to it.
Apparently the crush is one sided.

Hello? Anyone there?
I'm pretty sure after the year (almost) being absent on here no one is reading anymore. I need to set a goal to do better. I thought I had, but I must not have been very serious about it.
This last year has been super crazy. We started building our new home and now we are finally living in it. It's almost really done. Just a few walls need to be painted. I have so many pictures I don't know where to start. I'll get looking at those in a bit. But I wanted you to know I'm still here and if you do check there will be more to look at.
We are giving a talk in church Sunday so I really need to get on that. Nothing like procrastination to make you stop and get it done.
Soon, very soon, there will be so much to see. I promise.

First Quarter Update
Apparently I can't post anything when it's happened. I have to do a huge quarterly post. I'm going to try better to at least blog once a week. I can do that right? Once a week. That's my goal. So here we go....Playing catch up.
8 years ago in 2005 my beautiful Sydney was born. She is such a kind and loving person. She has been blessed with beauty on both the inside and out. I am honored to be her mom. Her due date was September 21. The day before Noah's birthday. I remember him being so upset that he was getting a baby sister for his 4th birthday. I'm pretty sure he wanted a truck or something. He lucked out and our first daughter was born a week early. Not soon enough for me, but Sydney seemed to want to wait forever before making her debut. Her birthday is September 15. So Noah is happy and so is Sydney.
Siddie chose to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on September 21, 2013. I told her it was her due date before she was born. She thought that was pretty cool, since after her baptism she would be brand new again. No sin. She was such a cutie and so excited for her baptism. I wish I had a picture of when she came out of the water. She just radiated happiness. The spirit was super strong and I'm so grateful she made the decision to be baptized.

Sydney and her dad before her baptism. So grateful her dad was able to baptize her. He's such a wonderful example and all around awesome dad.
Our wonderful extended family that attend the baptism.
I can't believe that my sweet girl is 8 years old. 8 is great!! When did my babies decide to grow up?

Summer...Where has it gone?
I thought for sure I was going to be able to catch up on all things this summer. It was going to be calm and we were just going to relax. Or Not. It was Not. Don't get me wrong... it has been a wonderful summer but super busy and it's gone so fast.
We started out the summer with school ending on June 18. Yep that number is correct. It's actually 4 days earlier than last year. Woo Hoo!! So one week after school gets out Dave and I had the opportunity to go on Pioneer Trek. For those of you who don't know what that is, it means we dress up like pioneers and pull handcarts for a couple days to see what it was like for the pioneers.
Dave and I were Ma and Pa Hannant. We had 12 kids in our family. 7 boys and 5 girls. Ages 14-18. These kids are amazing. I used to think I was pretty cool, but I'm so impressed by the positivity and hard work these kids put in. We put in some hard work too. We truly had so much fun.

This is our very serious family. They wanted us to be authentic and back then no one smiled for pictures. |
Then they let us show our pearly whites. Not too shabby for 3 days in the same clothes. Ok 2 but still gross. |

Happy 5th Birthday My Littlest One!!
Do you remember when you turned 5? Did you have a party? Was it a big event or a quiet family one? Or was it both? I can't remember when I turned 5. I know I lived in Utah. I believe I had a birthday party, mainly because there are pictures of it! I know it was at my house and since I'm a summer birthday, water and swimsuits were involved. This I know because of the pictures.
Now days I don't think very many kids have birthday parties at home. If they do it's pretty rare. Last year we did two parties at home for Sydney and Noah. This year is Jacob and Abby's party time. They are turning 5 and 10. Pretty big days. Anyway we asked Abby what she wanted for her birthday and she chose gymnastics. They do parties almost everywhere these days. So for $125 Abby and 11 of her friends and family can play in the gym for and hour and then have goodies and open presents for 1/2 an hour. It was perfect and not expensive. And just the right amount of time. I didn't have to entertain anyone and the kids had a blast. I also didn't have to clean up after either! Awesome!!!! We have done some of these kinds of birthday's in the past and I have to say so worth the money and so easy! That leaves me the question of are we getting lazy? But that's a question to answer another day....why? Because this party was a blast!!!
Jacob taking a swing on the rope. |
Noah sitting on the wall. Oh wait he's on the trampoline. |
I love this picture of our nephew Jack! That is pure joy. He is flying!! |
