We recently visited Dustin (Steve's brother,) Hailey, and Addison in St. George. The photos below are from our hike on Saturday after a night of very little sleep...I'm talking like 2 hours folks. Eva didn't travel well this time around. She sure loves her structure, and well, this through it off so she was a bit wackadoo.
It sure doesn't show in photos, though. She's a champ and loved the hike!
We sure love these guys and wish we got to see them more! Eva adores her cousin Addi.
Eva fell off a stool onto the kitchen tile Saturday evening and had a goose-egg the size of Pluto. No kidding, it was huge. Like Looney Toons kind of huge. Luckily she didn't show signs of a concussion, but we kept a close eye on her which led to another restless night. Waaaaait a second...aren't vacations supposed to be relaxing?
Sunday morning we enjoyed Sacrament Meeting with the fam. I actually heard more from the talks than I was expecting and really appreciated what was said. It gave me hope that things will come together in our lives, and I felt strongly that through it all we were going to be alright. Not just alright, but we are going to be great because our family is eternal. Being a parent to a toddler is sometimes hard. Being the wife of a working student is sometimes hard. And the idea of being the wife of a police officer is scary. But I am so grateful for my faith that leads me closer to Christ, who is my Light and my Guide.
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." - Proverbs 119:105
After church we took a stroll around the St. George LDS Temple. If you want to learn more about temples and why they are sacred to us, click here! It is truly a place of love and beauty.
On our way home, we made a stop in Scipio at their fortuitous little petting zoo because someone needed to get a massive amount of energy out. Mom and Dad also needed a little break after the 37th time of singing "Book of Mormon Stories." I am pleased to report that Eva mastered the hand motions to this song during this trip. "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree" is also a huge hit, but she's had that down pat for a couple months.
Eva loves animals and naturally loved the idea of the petting zoo, but once we were in she was not a huge fan of the hungry goat. She kept shaking her finger at him and telling him, "No, Nooooo!" It was, in all honesty, incredibly cute. However, she might be scarred for life.
I'll wrap it up short and simple: These are moments and memories we treasure.
