A Week of Busyness!!

We just have too much fun together I think! I can't keep up on the posts, and I always have to post too many pictures. I guess that means we either have too much fun or just take too many pictures! That's probably it!

Wednesday we celebrated our fourth anniversary! Wooot Wooot! I love that man! Since it was a Wednesday and I had young womens to go to (thankfully they went earlier than usual) and we have a new baby, we didn't get to do much, but we had a good time. I got home around 7 and Luke had just gotten home from the store and began cooking Haitain food (from his mission.) This is no quick meal, mind you... so we ate dinner at 9:00. Then we put Tianna in bed and I cut Luke's hair while we watched the movie, "Knowing". Yep, that was our romantic evening together! :D
Okay, so it wasn't THAT romantic, but we enjoyed it-- and I got to see my husband dance around the living room with his little girls and that was even better! Plus he made me the same kind of food that he had made on our first day. So that was really sweet also!

My cute hubby making me dinner-- and my beautiful flowers he gave me!

Thursday night we attended Luke's company party. It was way fun! The theme was luau and so we dressed up a bit and ate REALLY REALLY good food, Tianna played carnival games, and we watched Polynesian dancing! Tianna got really into the show. They told us to yell "Cha-hoo" whenever we liked sometthing and she yelled it the whole time. Everyone was laughing at her! She even got to go up and learn a dance with the other little girls. It was soooooooo cute!
Go figure-- You ask someone to take your pic and you get 3 inches of sky and cut out an entire person! The other picture does have Tianna in it, but of course, my eyes are shut! The first one would have been so cute!



Friday we wanted to do something different than usual since Luke got off work early. We decided to go on a family hike. I've been wanting to hike to the Wind Caves up Logan Canyon since we moved up here and so we did it! Oh buddy-- it was quite a hike! It's basically up an entire mountain-- 900 feet in 1.3 miles. Tianna did exceptionally well for a not-even-3-year old. She hiked most of the way up and then Luke carried her on his shoulders for the rest of the way up and the whole way down. A little less than half way up she started to get bored and so we said she was like Dora and had to hike to the "castle." Well that meant Luke was Diego and I was Isa (the Iguana) and she said Adelia could be Dora too. Somehow the story evolved into we needed to rescue Princess Aroura from a huge tree and take her to the castle. I thought it would last for a few minutes but she called us Diego and Isa the ENTIRE time and still to this day I'm referred to as Isa most of the time.
"Hey Isa!" "What Dora?" "What are you doing, Isa?" "Hiking to the Castle, Dora." "Hey Diego!".................. for 2 miles!!! :) it was fun!


This looks out from the caves-- keep in mind, the road where we started is at the BASE of the mountains.






Little Adelia did really well on the hike too! She loves being carted around ALLLLLLLLL day so she loved being in her little carrier. She fell asleep and slept the entire way up the mountain. Once we got there she woke up and ate and then slept most of the way down.
There are just a few things we would do different if we did it again. Number one-- bring bug spray!!! Secondly, take the same way down and you go up-- we took a slightly different path and it took us to a couple of places one should not have a 4 week old baby! But we managed AND it was shorter--just a bit scarier too!

Saturday we had to get work done. Luke worked on our fence in the backyard. He took one large panel and made it into two pieces to make a large gate-big enough to get a trailer into the back. I was impressed with his skills! Meanwhile, I weeded and took care of the kiddies. It felt really good to get some projects done! This week we have continued our yard work. We have this one long stretch under some trees that weedy grass comes up. We had tried to plant wild flowers but they just get lost in the weeds. So we took out all the weeds, laid down that black fabric stuff, lined it with rocks, and covered it with bark. Now it looks really nice!

On a side-note... our garden is flourishing! We have a ton of zucchini and peppers/chili's and everything else is growing very well. We may actually have a bit of corn this year too!! I guess even if we have 2 edible ears of corn this year we'll have done better than last year! HAHA.


On Monday our little baby girl turned 1 month old! It's crazy how fast time goes by! She's doing really well-- growing and becomng more and more alert each day. Like I said, she loves being carried around. You put her down and she wakes up and gets mad, you pick her up and she immediately falls asleep. That's a bit frustrating when we need to get something done, but it's fun holding her so we don't complain too much.
To commemorate her 1 month birthday Luke made a cake! He's a funny boy!

And, last but not least, now that Adelia is one month old, Tianna seems to be ready for triplets! But Mommy isnt! NOR WOULD SHE EVER BE!
