Some things I don't wnat to forget

We were down at the gateway, having a little fmaily night. After going to the German Festival, we went to this local market called Salt & Honey.
The market blew my mind, so many good things!
Then, on our way back we got corraled into this weird concert. The singers were good, so we sat down. Aiko was sitting next to her dad and placed her hand on her leg. She's never done anything quite grown-up like. It was adorable!

Orion is the sweetest thing ever. He loves Aiko. He cries if she isn't with him. Always tries to hug her, even though she doesn't want any hugs at all. Orion always says whatever Aiko says. He even looks to her if he wants to do something. When she says something, he'll listen, then step up, and say exactly what she just said. little birdie.
Orion is now in charge of putting away the toothbrushes. Once we are all done flossing and brushing he grabs the brushes and puts them in the drawer. 

Both kids don't like green peppers for some reason.

Aiko seems to have some skin issues with Oats and we are currently testing it with Wheat. Her skin on her forearms, thighs and lower back gets extremely dry.
Aiko seems to have night terrors as of late. Something to do with Spiders.

If Orion is crying Aiko promptly tells me what he wants.

Aiko can sing the ABC, I am a child of god, and happy birthday is her favorite.

Derek still works for Perfectly Posh. He either rides the bus or carpools. 

Both kids LOVe to play in the snow! We get all the snow gear out and they just run around, asking me if they can sit in the snow.

Aiko's favorite books are the little Critter Books, I can do it myself and Grover goes to the farm.

Memorial Weekend in Cedar City


The Walker family is very serious about Memorial Day. It's tradition to visit all the graves, take flowers, clean and trim up the landscape. It's a new tradition to me. The kids especially love it as they get to see all their cousins.









Milford, Utah.


Usually, Tom will go with his siblings or Carol to go visit his side of the family in Minersville and Milford. This time, we all decided to go, since I'd never been and the husband hadn't been in a long time.




















Taking the long route home.






The other half of the Memorial Tradition is to bike Cedar Canyon and play at the park along the way.





The water is always mucky coming down this river. But that's Cedar Creek for you.

Life. Goals.

I've kind of been avoiding this little blog. Honestly, every time I thought about opening it, it would make my heart hurt. I keep thinking about how I should have been better at documenting the last few years. All those precious moments now lost, not even my brain can find them.

Some friends and I were discussing how 2 & 3 year olds are kind of crazy. Since Aiko will be turning four this year, I was like "I honestly can't remember any bad times from her being 2 & 3." I really can't, nor can I remember specific good times.

So now, I've decided we need to start fresh and begin all over again.

Aiko is now 3 1/2 and Orion is a month away from being 2. They are crazy little chatter boxes. The past few weeks have been a blur. Hali's wedding, family visiting, house full of sickness, husbands birthday. It's all been crazy.

The husband turned 34 this year. 

 Aiko and Orion are quite the little singers now. They love to sing ABCs and Happy Birthday. I was quite surprised to learn that Orion knows the ABC song.
