mesa temple

today chloe and made a trip to the visitor center at the mesa temple, it was a lot of fun more fun than i thought it would be, she was in love with the big statue of christ. she sat on my lap while putting her chubby little hand in her box of raisins while the sweet sister missionary bore her testimony. the sister even stoped a couple of time and commented on how chloe was smiling at her the whole time, i then looked at chole and it wasn't just a smile she was full on cheesing it up eyes squinted and all. we got to watch a animated video in a room all to ourselves with our little snacks, it was really fun and a sweet memory we made i'll never forget how many times she pointed at all the Jesus pictures, the veil is still more thin than i could imagine. here i took chloe to teach her when actually she taught me.

i love you my chloe estelle

she has no idea whats going to hit her

right before.....all happy with her lolly and all, smiling at the lady who was soon going to pierce her ears

ears pierced

so sad i feel horrible watching this, she looks so innocent and then bam these strange women hurt her. but it was good she only cried for a minute and then she was fine

it got better

tanner wanted to pick out the earring so her daddy picked light pink stud

she was happy once we gave her lolly back


so cute huh!!

so i really didn't think we would end up doing this but it melted my heart when papa (my dad) said..."so when are you going to pierce her ears?" i just thought that was cute. we had toyed with the idea but when tanner wanted to do it id say no and when id want to it he'd say no. so finally we did it and we love them we just hope she will too!!

home again

daddy bought this for his little darling, it's a doll named chloe.

how is it that i get to know and feel a deep true love for someone? on top of that, im privileged enough to receive it in return. chloe and i were away for two weeks and two days from the man of my life, tanner dear. when i saw him walking through the airport looking for me, i instantly felt this warm tingling feeling all over my body from head to toe; my lips were on fire and ready to smooch him. it's like my body could sense my soul mate near. his voice was so giddy when he said "i love you so much i missed you"!!! it doesn't matter where i am in the world, there's only one place that i can call home and that is with my tanner. i don't care how hard times are as long as im with tanner. im so blessed that i can actually say that and mean it with every fiber of my being. i am so incredibly blessed to have our strong love, it's something that all the tornado's in life can never take from us. for that i have all the riches that this life and eternity can offer. just promise me you'll always make me feel the way i do, you'll always be my home .......when i first met you, you felt familiar and i felt home at last with you. it didn't make any since why i could only know you for a moment but knew i was home and only feel that more and more throughout our exciting journey . i love you i feel like i could burst with the deep love and appreciation i have for you......words cant describe how strongly i feel for you and that's why i feel so blessed to have a life and eternity to express my love for you at the top of my lungs.....thank you for being my sweetheart, i love you so much; i have the hold world. im crazy crazy about you thank you my love my best friend.



love,

new places to sit

she just sat in this duffel bag, lately she's been parking her little tushy in the weirdest places. she's our little entertainment.

she was touching tanners hair with her sippy cup and thought it was so funny

superstition mountian sanctuary

her and her daddy lookin oh so cool and ready for the hike

we saw lizards

i love this moss called liken, it's so vibrant

i love it when she puts her tongue out to the side like that

she loved walking around and picking up as many rocks her little hands could hold

such a beautiful hike, thank you superstition mountain for energizing and inspiring me.

in stitches

i know my voice is frightening but i had huners in stitches
