Pioneer Day

Today was Pioneer Day Sunday. We had a wonderful time at church. We were fed well by the spirit. Hannah has been potty training and doing really well. If she stays dry she gets to use a binkie. If she wets she gives it to us until she uses the toilet again. It has been working so much better for her than candy. After church my parents and Dallin came over for lunch, Sunday beans and bread. It was yummy and fun. Then we went out to check on Grandma and Grandpa Ha's garden for them. With it being Pioneer Day ,I took several binders of stories from our ancestors to read during our 2 hour drive. The kids all loved it, and so did Matt and I. They especially loved hearing about Grandpa Lorenzo Hatchs mission. Grandpa Neil Forsyths WW1 experience with the bullet and being protected by following a prompting from the spirit, and Grandma Amanda Wheeler's account of her childhood. I think I'd like to make a children's book for our kids someday of their wonderful ancestors. We stopped at Aunt Mary's house for a bit and had a nice visit with them. The kids were so happy to be together. Boone kept telling us pointing to Hannah, "He is a princess and he is going to get me!" After that we went to Grandma and Grandpa Fo's house and had hamburgers with them. They were sure yummy! It was a great hot humid day.

Best Sisters

I love how much these two love each other. Even though Hannah attacks Lydia with kisses and love Lydia still just loves it.

Lydia 4 months

 Lydia loves her toes. She started rolling over from her back to front the day before her 4 month birthday.  

 She weighs 17 pounds 8 ounces. 

 Hannah and her are best buddies.  Lydia loves it when Hannah is near and lights up when Hannah starts to talk to her.  Hannah loves to call her "SweeTHeart."

 "Hi SweetHeart!"  (Yes, Hannah is in the middle of potty training and holding toilet paper)

 Lydia is the happiest little baby. She really hardly ever cries. 

 She usually takes 3 naps during the day. She goes to bed at about 8pm (which gives us one hour alone with her to snuggle before she goes to bed. I love that.) 

 She usually gets up once around 4 or 5 am to eat, then goes right back to sleep and sleeps until about 9am.  (which gives me time in the morning to start the day with the big kids, I love that.)

 She is so tender hearted. She startles very easily.  She also hates it when Hannah screams or one of the boys yells.  She is pretty sensitive. 

 She is so sweet and squishy and bald. We love her so much!
