Sledding at Last!

Last Saturday we drove up to Mt Hood to go sledding! Casey and Roy'l came with us. We also invited the missionaries in our ward and they invited some more missionaries so we just had a huge group! KaeLynn at first hated being there. The first half of the day she would cry and whine and just wanted to play in the truck. After we had lunch we took her out again and put her on a kid sled and let her go on the bunny hill. After the third time she was finally starting to see that it was fun. She really enjoyed it once Javen and her would go down the hill at the same time. The last part of the day was much more fun. KaeLynn really started to enjoy herself and finally would play in the snow. Javen is such a dare devil! He was not scared of anything. I think he went higher up on the big hill then I did, but I am also a scaredy cat. Maybe that is where KaeLynn gets it from. The missionaries had a blast, and for some of them it was the first time they saw snow. I was happy to finally go to the mountain. I hope we have time to go again before the season ends.

KaeLynn moments are sweet

This morning I needed to do laundry and her blankie was in need for washing. I explained to her that I needed to wash her blankie so she knew it was coming. Her blanket was about half way down inside the basket and she had dug out a little corner of it to the top so she could have one last moment with blankie before it was washed. I walked in to her hunched over the basket, sucking away on her thumb like it was the last time she ever would again. It was quite adorable. When I broke her away to go to the laundry room, she said "Bye blankie! See you in a few hours!"

Another sweet moment with her was the other day Cavan and I took KaeLynn and Wilson out to play with Cavan's Rc cars. KaeLynn wanted to go off on a walk, so I let her just go with me following. Once we got over this little hill she saw this huge open field of just grass and trees. She said, "Wow! Look at that. The most wonderful things!" She amazes me everyday and I am so thankful for all the joy she brings into my life.
