They say when you have children it is like your heart is walking around outside your body. Truer words have never been spoken. Halle is an incredible friend and great companion to have around. So, I was more than a little worried about sending her off to first grade. She has been my little BFF for the past 6 years and now I was sending her away for the bulk of her day. If she hadn't been so excited to go, I probably would have been a bigger mess than I already was. </div>

Ernst and Young paid for each family to spend the day at Lagoon. We loved it! Lily was terrified on most rides, and Halle finally decided to branch out on faster rides. Bulgy the whale and the space ship ride were Lily's highlights and Halle fell in love with the swinging pirate ship.</div>

Wes called me during the week and asked if I wanted to take the girls to NYC in a week. An opportunity at work had come up where they would need him in New York for a week. We used our sky miles so all of us could go. It was so spontaneous and gave me a bit of anxiety, but we couldn't pass it up! The morning after Andrea's wedding we flew into the JFK airport. The girls were obsessed with riding in taxis. </div>

What an amazing sight. So touristy, but really incredible! We went out to see the statue of liberty from afar and then to the 9/11 memorial. It was so beautiful. Lily napped while Halle was quiet and thoughtful. </div>

My girls never complained once. They walked all over that city with me giggling and holding maps. We loved exploring new restaurants and trying new treats. There was so much more we wished we could have done. The girls were so sad to leave they were a bit teary. Lily has decided she is going to serve a mission there. We still talk about this trip all the time. It is safe to say we have fallen in love. It was the perfect trip and gave us a small taste of what it would be like to work at Ernst and Young in times square. We LOVE NY!</div>

During the summer we had some close-to-home adventures that the girls loved. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that the mountains are just a short drive away from our home. One morning we decided to hike the Timpanogos Cave trail. Lily insisted on wearing a dress and her sparkly gold sandals. The park rangers did a fantastic job scaring our girls away from the edge of the trail and I think they still have nightmare about the rattle snakes she talked about. It was beautiful and Halle caught the nature bug. She is determined that she and I buy tickets to go inside the caves next year. Lily was mostly neutral.</div>

One of our favorite places to go is a fantastic community pool with a lazy river and loads of kiddie slides. We love wasting an afternoon here. We giggle so much. Halle had a couple of weeks of swim lessons this year and really loved feeling more comfortable in the water and going under the water. It made me more comfortable with it too.</div>

Wes and I were asked to speak at our ward's girls camp up in the mountains this year. It was such a fantastic evening with those great girls. And our love for each other grew as we were able to bear testimony of the things we have learned together about enduring. What a joy it was to hear those faithful girls' testimonies around the campfire as well.</div>

Some of my favorite days are spent watching the girls play in our own backyard as soon as it starts to cool down until it gets dark. And then there are special Sundays where we sit in Grandma's backyard and get to unbox old toys that used to belong to their aunts,</div>

Over in the Daybreak community there is a great little lake with ducks and even a sandy beach. We spent one Saturday riding bikes and scooters all around the lake and then wading in the cool water. I love getting out with these girls. The wonder in their eyes is worth all the packing up, driving, and planning. </div>

We spent our fourth swimming and barbecuing in Sandy with family. Our girls were so excited to go to the Sandy City parade. Our Lily started losing steam and fell asleep as we drove to the parade. We let her nap for a bit and she woke up tired and cranky.</div>

We staked out our spot for the parade. Halle was loving it, but Lily was still not herself and was still nursing her burned hand. Wes took her into a nearby grocery store to see if cool air and a cool drink would help perk her up.</div>

When Wes's work training and one of Andrea's performances with the Los Angeles Ballet all fell on the same week, we decided to load up the whole family and spend the week in California. We arrived over the weekend to see Andrea's performance. It was so great to finally be able to see her dance again. The girls loved it and Andrea was graceful and beautiful. </div>

We let the girls run around outside while we were waiting for Andi to come out from backstage. Lily was playing near a huge outdoor light, the kid that lights up a building. She tripped and tried to catch herself on the light. Those lights get incredibly hot! Her hand immediately blistered and she was crying as we rushed get her some relief. We ended up leaving before we got to see Andi and running to a grocery store to get some supplies to soothe her. It was late enough at night that all Lily really wanted was her mom and some sleep. She fell asleep in the car and slept through the night while we dressed her burn. In the morning her blister was huge, but didn't seem to bother her. </div>

After the weekend was over, the rest of the family left and Wes began his week of training. His hotel was close to LAX where there isn't a ton for us girls to do. I was nervous about navigating Los Angeles by myself so our first excursion was just down the road to the LAX flight museum. It was tiny, but the girls were interested and it made for a pleasant morning. </div>

I love spending time with this family of mine. And really we didn't want it to end, but I still don't love driving in LA. Although we could have done without the burned hand and the insane parking ticket we got for parking on the line of the parking space. </div>

I was so giddy when Halle was finally out of school for the whole summer. Goodness, I miss her when she is away. We love having the freedom to come and go as we please, with no school attendance to answer to. The girls are always up for anything water or swim suit related. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the summer, otter pops become our favorite afternoon snack and we ride bikes and scooters with the neighbors until the sun sets. </div>

As the school year came to a close, Halle's school hosted a couple of fun events. The first was a school 5k. They didn't make the kindergarteners run the whole 5k, but they were required to run or walk a chunk of the race course. Halle surprised us all when she finished the race with some of the fastest kindergarteners. I had no idea she had that kind of drive in her. Our dear friend snapped this picture of her.</div>

The school finishes the year with a dance festival. Every grade learns a dance and then performs it for the school and parents out on the field. Halle has really loved her kindergarten class. She has some wonderful friends.</div>

I love when Wes gets the itch to go somewhere after busy season at work is over. This year he planned a trip to Disneyland during May. It was our first time driving and the girls did great. Thank goodness for the movie Enchanted and marker boards. On our way we stopped in St. George to see family and Las Vegas for breakfast with more family. </div>

As one of the last projects in kindergarten, the kids were asked to choose an animal and complete a report and diorama about their animal. Halle chose a boa constrictor and loved learning about this snake that squeezes it's prey to death. We created her diorama together and sent it off to school for her to present to her class and the parents in her class. Each child stood behind their diorama and read their reports about their animals. Halle was thrilled to share what she knew and I loved being in her classroom. </div>

Lily was a little nervous for her first dental check up. She was remembering all the poking and prodding that accompanied her pneumonia hospital stay. Doctors and all doctor-like settings have become associated with pain mixed with a little bit of fear. Halle being the darling big sister that she is, volunteered to go first and show Lily how exciting and fun the dentist can be. </div>

Lily is my child who always says "I can't" (she is also my child who insists on wearing frilly dresses always). We had been trying for awhile to learn how to draw people with little success. One day we were outside playing with chalk and I look over to see heads with legs and faces. I assumed Halle had helped Lily with this little family, but Halle claimed she didn't help her at all. </div>

The day before our little Lily turned three she was lethargic and breathing pretty fast. After an appointment with her pediatrician we found out she had pneumonia. She woke up on her birthday coughing and fevering, but smiling, but then it all went downhill from there.</div>

We canceled her birthday party, but cousin Abby let us have the cupcakes she made for the party anyway. It was a blessing because it was the only thing she ate all day and they made her so happy. We had aunt Rachel over to entertain Halle while I took care of Lily and then aunt Kendyl came with bundles of activities, treats, and toys. Lily finally played for a little with her and gave me ten minutes to wash my face and put deodorant on, then she was back to clinging to me. </div>

By Sunday Lily had barely eaten anything and was mostly laying around breathing fast. I had never seen her like this. We took her to the ER, where they gave her a breathing treatment and sent her home. </div>

By Monday she was so exhausted she couldn't keep her eyes open for more than an hour. I knew something wasn't right and took her to the doctor again. Her oxygen levels were low and her lungs weren't sounding better. After a breathing treatment there, they decided they needed to admit her and get her oxygen right away. Her tired little body slumped on whoever was holding her all day. She could barely sit up and it was enough to break my heart.</div>

We spent the next five days in the hospital with her. I slept on her little bed with her, held her hand while they x rayed her chest every morning and held her down while they put in an IV and soothed her when it was time to take her medicine. She hated that they made her take off her minnie pajamas and wear the hospital pajamas. She really hated having the oxygen tubes in her nose. The movie Frozen was on constant replay. It was the only thing she wanted to do. She was so miserable she would shut down and not do anything but lay around and watch frozen with her Rapunzel toy in her hand. Every time they let me take the oxygen out of her for a little bit she would perk up and become a fighter. </div>

The doctors suspected bacterial pneumonia, but she didn't respond to antibiotics. They then suspected viral pneumonia and thought she might have asthma. By the fourth day they suspected bacterial again and put her on a stronger antibiotic which helped her improve enough to head home in one day with no oxygen. </div>

We were so loved by grandmas and friends who watched Halle, and visitors of all kinds for Lily. She was showered with gifts and treats and each one of them did wonders for my spirits, because she would perk up after she received each one and I caught a glimpse of healthy Lily. Wes described it best when he said watching her be so sick and miserable and in pain was eating at his soul. </div>

Aunt Kendyl pulled out all the stops and dressed up as Elsa. The look on Lily's face when she walked through the door was priceless. Kendyl sang "Let it Go" and gave her pink lipstick. What an incredibly kind thing to do.</div>

As I have been trying to catch up on all the events of the past year, I found myself dwelling on the photos of all the in-between things. The little moments that I felt were picture worthy between all the big events. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few of my favorites from the beginning of the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day Wes was diagnosed with colon cancer was March 1st. It is also the beginning of colon cancer awareness month. Me and the girls wore blue that day in honor of him and all colon cancer fighters. I also should document that I fulfilled one of my dreams and cut some bangs. It was wonderful to finally take the plunge, but so hard to maintain them. It was bittersweet saying goodbye to them.</div>

Aunt Kendyl bought the girls their very own rain boots. On the street where we live there is a dip in the road. After rainstorms it is filled with water, sometimes for days. I mostly try to keep my girls our of this puddle, but i couldn't resist letting them take their new boots for a spin in it. Their squeals of delight reminded me that sometimes I just need to let go.</div>

Halle's school hosted a daddy daughter dance in February. It was all she could think about for weeks. Nothing tugs at my heart strings more than seeing this fantastic daddy fulfill his little girl's dreams. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5zMYNVdTmC8l81wMQO_wUdRZQ-IQTfMnnQ3-22-76eRAvJUzXxUwRrssLj2qsuQYOofxAK-LOspQq45IQ__5AzNKAGwZaxwWF5l-Ur9lRUZrmLT4zm5kAL9FZYD80eHJLLiLZFqpd3tM/s1600/IMG_3568.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5zMYNVdTmC8l81wMQO_wUdRZQ-IQTfMnnQ3-22-76eRAvJUzXxUwRrssLj2qsuQYOofxAK-LOspQq45IQ__5AzNKAGwZaxwWF5l-Ur9lRUZrmLT4zm5kAL9FZYD80eHJLLiLZFqpd3tM/s1600/IMG_3568.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>

Me and my limited hair abilities thought it was best to bring in an expert to glam Halle up for her special night out. Our fairy god-auntie Kendyl came over and made sure every hair was perfect, she even brought some glitter for extra sparkle. She knows us so well.</div>

Halle was bouncing off the walls and so excited to spend an evening alone with dad. Lily of course had to be right in the action, had to dress up, and Kendyl gave her an Elsa braid. Wes and Halle had to sneak out the door so she wouldn't get upset about not being able to go.</div>

We love the Christmas season and the girls especially love our advent calendar filled with candy and a fun or spiritual holiday activity inside. It was filled with our usual traditions this year, and they seem to love them more and more each year. We start each Christmas season off with a trip to the live nativity in Alpine. Some of their favorite activities include:</div>

This year we spent Christmas day in St. George with the Nimers. The girls loved playing with cousins. Lily had a freak accident in the bouncy house the day before Christmas Eve and couldn't walk for the next two days. She was x-rayed and the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her. On Christmas day her dad gave her a priesthood blessing and after he was finished she declared with every little ounce of her faith "I'm all better." And the girl who would not take two steps for the past two days, walked across the room and into my arms. She still limped, but believed she was healed and it made all the difference. It truly was a Christmas miracle.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Santa brought the girls American girl dolls complete with their own little horses. They were showered with gifts from sweet relatives. These girls are truly loved.</div>

Wes was excited to have a Christmas do-over after being released from the hospital the year before on Christmas Eve with a feeding tube. It is amazing to see the progress he made in a year. I still count my many blessings that he is here to celebrate holidays and everything in between with us.</div>

I am so behind that I am just now sharing these photos we had taken of our girls just before Christmas (hence the mistletoe).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These girls have changed my world and my heart for the better. These pictures captured so much of their personalities my heart can't help but skip a beat when I look at them. They were laughing through most of this shoot and their photographer was able to catch and appreciate the little things they do, like the way Halle was standing on the edges of her boots and how Lily just wanted to be by her sister.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">To my Halle: You are peace and laughter and possess a deep kindness that others are drawn to. You are endlessly patient with all of us. You are wise beyond your years. You are compassionate and fun loving. You are your sister's safe place. She adores you and looks to your example. I can't explain it, but I just feel better when you are around. There is something eternal and wonderful about you that calms me. I know we were dear friends long ago. I am just in awe that you are mine. It is an honor and privilege to be your mother.</span></div>

To my Lily: You remind us all how amazing and enchanting this life is. Your spunk and silliness are contagious. Your laughter lifts my spirits daily. You live so passionately that we can't help but want to experience the world with you and see it through your eyes. You help us live for today and teach us how to love fiercely. You are sunshine and have helped brighten many dark days. I am sure you came to this earth with that divine purpose to bless our family. I pray often to be worthy of you and these amazing qualities you possess. I am so grateful you are mine, little love.</div>

It is not always easy to be a sister. We do our fair share of arguing and fighting in this house. It is not always easy to have someone who wants to wear what you wear, do what you do, and play with you all the time. It is not easy when you just want to be with the big girls, but can't keep up. But I have glimpsed moments when you have comforted each other when one is hurt or afraid. I have listened to you both squeal with delight as you play together. I have let you stay up past your bedtime because you are having too much fun together. This bond you have as sisters is no accident or coincidence. Your bond whispers of the eternal and I pray you will always nurture that relationship and feel the pull of that bond..</div>

I always chuckle to myself when people complain about how turning thirty or forty or fifty is so sad. Here is a man who can only hope to reach those milestones and watch our children grow. What a blessing it is to have any amount of time on earth with loved ones. Even though most days he feels like he is more like a seventy year old man, we are just thrilled he is officially thirty years young!</div>

This year Wes was away from us for his birthday. His dad took him to a BYU football game at Notre Dame. I loved getting all the picture updates from their trip. They spent a night in Chicago where they went to Michael Jordan's steak house. It was a dream come true for my little Jordan lover. </div>

For his thirtieth I wanted to do something special. I contacted as many of his relatives as I could and asked them to send me some memories they have of Wes or just a little note to say hello. I loved reading each response. I loved getting little glimpses into his childhood, teenage years, and beyond. Some memories were mischievous, some hilarious, and some were glimpses of the making of an incredible man. Each hour of his birthday that he was in Chicago I sent him one message from his family members. They lasted all day and into the night. Some made him laugh, some made him cry, and some he had completely forgotten and enjoyed remembering. It was amazing to see how he had affected so many of his family members lives for the better. I am determined to compile all the messages into a book. They are something he treasures. Thank you to everyone who responded to my request. It made it a special day for him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After he came home, we celebrated his birthday with him. </div>

Since cancer he has lost a lot of weight. He has not been able to wear his wedding ring for awhile now. It slides right off. For his birthday we bought him a new ring that fits. And yes I did get down on one knee to put his new ring on him.</div>
