2 Amazing Years with our Princess

Our good friend Ali took the most amazing photos capturing how wonderful our life is. As you can see Aurora is full of spunk, love, curosity, and energy. We just love everything about her.

WE ARE PREGNANT

and it is a BOY. we are so excited for Aurora to have her very own punching bag. This little squirt better be a tough guy =) We are so happy to add another to our little family. I love him already. I'm thinking since Aurora is a minnime of Dan that maybe this little boy will be my minnieme. Anyway we are due at the beginning of February.

um..

I'm to tired to come up with anything to say... I love Dan and I love Aurora mucho!

Swimming @ the Pool

On our way to the pool, Picking up Mindy at her apartment to join us

The water was freezing so Aurora picked a warm spot to lay out

One of our first morning's in Dallas. We were having our grape nuts and entertainment provided by Princess Aurora. She is such a girly girl I love it. She had to have her Tinkerbell fairy dress on and her tiara. She was making Dan and I Laugh so hard she was telling us the funniest story with the best facial expressions.

My Hot Aggie

We are so thankful for all our families support in getting Dan to this point. We love you guys Our crazy little family.

My two graduates. I don't think they could be any cuter. =)

Utah State Aggies all the way go aggies... although I can't claim being an Aggie I'm married to one which is even better. I just want to scream because he/we did it. I have to send a Thanks to Bryan Stevenson for the role he played in getting Dan to this point. Thanks so much Bryan.

Daniel is such an amazing guy, he does everything 150%. I'm so proud of you babe.

We Love Texas

Dan drove the long 20 hours to texas all by himself and our awesome Maxima that has over 260,000 miles road like a champ! We were glad he made it safe. Aurora and I followed him 2 days later. I was a baby sissy boo boo pants saying bye to my mom and dad I just love them so much and am going to miss them so much...the plane ride went great. Aurora was super social and we were best friends with everyone on the plane. Luckily it wasn't crowded so we were able to move all around. She looked out the window and started going To To To To witch translated means tweet tweet tweet. We made a great friend Scott who is from Dallas and Aurora was putting her Tiara on him it was funny. Our Apt. is nice it is big and opened with a fun balcony that we color with our side walk chalk daily. We have gone to the pool almost everyday it is freezing cold water but that doesn't stop a 1 1/2 year old. We are playing with our great friends all day. It is pretty much a vacation for us two girls. Dan is out doing his sales and doing awesome. We love that he is such a great worker so we can shop and lay out ;) hee hee
A really cute story when we first walked into our new home for the summer within the first 2 min. Aurora walked over to the pantry opened it up and said Bompa... were Bompa with he arms up in a question. My Dad a long time ago came over and hide in our pantry at home... Aurora loved it and obviously hasn't forgotten her sweet Bompa. It melted my heart.


Waking up for the first time in Dallas Texas. She played in her room and came out wearing her pretty necklaces.

okay Aurora has always been a big flirt with the boys, but her and Nick have a special little connection. From the very first she has just loved nick to death... she always runs to him and gives him the biggest longest cuddels. it is so sweet. he is really cute with her, So when we got to the apartments she was pretty excited to see her boyfriend. We love ya Nick.

Waiting to board the plane in Salt Lake

If you look close you can see dan packed tight in between all our stuff.

This is what it is like to pack with my fun little girl. I would have a box ready to put stuff in and look down and it would be gone ;)

Knock Knock

In March on a warmer day then most I decided to take Aurora to the temple grounds so we could walk around on the grass and enjoy being outside for a moment. She took off running straight for the temple doors and without any hesitation started to knock! it melted my heart to watch her. Her fourth word she ever said was "Jesus" and when we got to the temple I kept telling her that this was Jesus' home, I don't think she needed me to tell her... she knew. Although it was windy, she loved walking around... she acted like it was completely her domain. It is little moments like this, watching my 1 year old and seeing how close she is to the spirit that really touch my heart and testify of our Fathers Plan. I'll always remember this day that Aurora was ready to Have her Brother invite her in His house. I can't help but think that I need to be more like her and Run to his Door and knock as loudly as I can for him to let me in.

Texas Baby

One day Dan came home and said he wanted to go do summer sales I said ok! So we are moving to Dallas Texas to sale APX alarms. Okay it didn't go exactly like that but pretty close. We are so excited for this new experience. Dan can't stop talking about it, he is going to do awesome and I can't wait to hang out at the pool with Lola everyday. We have really met some wonderful people and look forward to spending the summer with them. We really feel that this has all worked out just perfectly and that Heavenly Father is always watching over us. My testimony is constantly being strengthened to see the Lord's hands in all things no matter how big or small. I'm grateful that he truly cares about our everyday decisions.

Valley of Fire

Aurora and I spent a week in a half at the Valley of Fire in Nevada with my dad. He just had hip surgery and wanted to recover in the sun and we were the lucky ones to go with him. Thanks Dad we love you. Dan, my mom, my sister Nat and her family and Dans family came and spent the weekend with us. It was so beautiful and warm.
