Cars, Cars, Cars,...

I forgot to finish this post I had it saved for awhile now. Orion was so funny, he watched this video of a car for almost half an hour - I just think his passion for cars is so funny.

The game was close and that made it fun! Ori was pretty into it clapping and cheering it was so cute! We thought he would not like it but he did. I was a little worried about aurora it was so loud, and a lady came came and told my I was damaging my baby's ears but we got ear plugs from guest services and we were fine. Thanks micki and Seth for the fun night!

Christmas Decor'

So our sweet Gammy sent some cool planes for Orion to play with, she also sent two small wood planes and we decided to get the paints out and paint the planes for our Christmas tree. Orions buddy Isaac came and painted with orion and took his plane home. I must say I was pretty surprised at how long they both sat there painting, and they were concentrating so hard! It was so cute! I snapped some pics. I love stuff like this its fun to see them really get into a project!

Family time

We decided to go and have somed fun as a family this weekend so we went to the dinosaur museum on sat. It was a blast and orion loved it. He was way excited and kept grr'in and roar'in all day. He ran from thing to thing so we didn't get much time to read and learn ourselves but it was still fun to just be together. Aurora was fussy too, that always seems to happen when we want to do something fun. Lol. Thus is the life of parents right? Anyway here are some of our fun pics from the day.

Blessing/Farewell

We have had quite a crazy week this week. We were able to bless our sweet baby girl on Sunday, and we were lucky to be able to do it the same day as Steve gave his "farewell" talk. She was so precious in here white outfit, however I forgot to take pictures of her when she was happy in her dress (of course) and remembered just as I was going to changer her out of it to get ready for a nap. So, the only pictures I have of her in her dress that day have a very cranky baby in them lol.
I love her dress (Thanks Raquel and Carlos!) and it was the perfect size we were a little worried because she runs on the small side and it was the smallest they had. It worked out just great. She was dealing with a little baby acne but luckily it was clearing up on that day and she was so perfect looking. Dustin gave a wonderful blessing, he does so well and I love listening to him give blessings. He is very sweet and loving father to his new baby girl. We feel very blessed to have our two children here and well.

So far Aurora has been a perfect baby.
She hardly cries and is so easy, when she gets fussy it never really lasts very long (Unless we are in the car she hates the car). But otherwise, during the night when she wakes up she just eats gets changed and goes right back to sleep (I love it) she is that way most of the time. She has even slept through the night twice! Orion was never this good so I dont want to jinx it but I love having her around, she is a wonderful addition to our family.
We love you Aurora.

We also wanted to thank our great bunch of family and friends who came. It is so wonderful to have you all in our lives we cant express the gratitude we feel, especially when we all get together like this. It always astonishes us to see how many people really care about us and our family and for that we are so thankful.

Real live missionary!

Today was so bitter sweet! The family got together to send Steve off! He was nervous but ready! He had a smile on and dazed eyes lol. What an amazing feeling to go and work so hard for something you believe in so much! I love him so much and will miss him just as much but I know he is where the Lord wants him, and for that I am thankful. He seemed excited to go somewhere to learn and teach.
He will be in the MTC for just r few weeks then he flys out I am going to make the blog private after this post so if you haven't already sent me an email please do or leave a comment with your email and I will give you access! Thanks again to all our family and friends for all you support!

The orion look

It seems as though Aurora has mastered my little orions look. This is the only expression I remember ori having like the first 5 months of his life lol. Its not true he had other expressions this was just the most common ha.
