Hike the Y



So, crazy to say, but I have never hiked the Y during my whole experience as a college student attending BYU! I don't know how I missed every single freshman activity that involved hiking the Y, but in light of us actually leaving Provo now, we thought it was about time to just go and finally hike it. It was a good hike, really good incline that gave us all a good work out and such a great view at the top. Jack did so well taking Jaxon up in the snugli and keeping him safe the whole way.

Here we come OHIO!

Well, it has really taken us right down to the wire to decide on which school we are going to head out to, but after a lot of thought between Ohio and Chicago, the final decision is in, and Jack is going to go to Podiatry school in Independence, Ohio! We're so proud of him that he got accepted into a couple of schools and we really relied on the Lord for things to happen as they should and we have had such a testimony builder through this great experience. So, so long to Provo and hello Ohio! We will be taking off next week and will be calling Ohio home for the next four years! We are so sad to say good bye to our family and close friends, but we are so excited for this new adventure for us. Thank you for all your love and support through everything!

Happy Canada Day!

So....in case any of you were wondering, yes, I am a Canadian...and being the primary contributor to this blog, I thought I'd show some of my Canadian pride on here and wish all my fellow Canadians out there a very HAPPY CANADA DAY! :o)

Jaxon's First Swim Experience

We are so lucky that my sister has a pass to the pool on BYU campus. We got to enjoy some time with the cousins and of course my sister as Jaxon tried out the pool for his very first time.
We slathered Jaxon with sun screen to make sure his fair skin didn't get burned. I was happy to get a little sun though! :o) Last summer, I wasn't able to get any sun at all during most of the summer since I was indoors at the hospital and then on bed rest at home for the majority of it. So, I have been sooooo grateful to be able to get out and enjoy this sunshine!
Poor Jaxon was sooo tired after it all. We can't wait to go again!

Happy Father's Day

It was awesome to celebrate Jack's first "real" Father's Day. Jaxon has been such a fabulous addition to our family and it's hard to imagine life without him. We are so lucky to have such a fabulous daddy for him. Thank you Jack for being so wonderful. We love you!

Also thank you to our own daddies-Dad Jack and Dad Frank, we love you both so much and are so lucky to have such wonderful daddies of our own. :o) Thank you for teaching us both so much!
