Hannah- The World

Have you ever sat and thought about how absolutely beautiful the world is. Once you think about it, the world is gorgeous. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful place. We really are.

Hannah-B-day

Today we celebrated my little stinkerbutton brothers birthday. It was sure an adventure. We went to the mighty Bounce Zone. We bounced, and bounced, we went down the slides, got many slide burns on our elbows and knees, and dealt with a boy that constantly threw things at my brothers and tackled them. Uhh...What a day. And...whew. I am exhausted. My little brother insisted that we go to a simple restaurant... In-n-out burger. He said he wouldn't go to The Rainforest Cafe, or The Cheesecake factory. So we went and chomped on burgers. Then, we were off to home. Time for my nap. :)

Hannah- My Sweet Brother

The baby of our family is turning 6 years old. Wow. I can't believe it. I can remember when I first held him. His soft,dark, feather-like hair rested upon his small head. He had the most promising brown eyes and his smooth, blue blanket was wrapped comfortably around the little bundle of joy.


5 things I love about my amazing brother

1. He is a spitfire and is so fun to be around
2. He has the cutest smile
3.He has a good imagination
4. He is super smart
5. He is so caring and thoughtful. He even brings me his cute pictures from primary.

Love this boy tons.

Reagan- Pinetop

The trees surrounded me with their arms sticking out like coatracks. I hurried to catch up with my family as they hiked down to the little spring where the water dribbled past rocks and little green plants and moss grew abundantly. The "nature hike" I went on with my family was just one of the many things I did on my 3 1/2 day trip to Pinetop, AZ. I almost got severely injured while riding a quad at the Quackenbush's cabin, but thankfully, my loving heavenly father was watching over me as I followed boys on quads and a ranger. My dad, brother, and I had a spiritual and heartwarming experience when my brother lost his phone on a rugged and huge golf course surrounded by cliffs of large proportions. Long story, but all the events fell into place in a way that WASN'T just a mere coincidence. I got stuck on a paddleboat at my aunt's parent's ranch on their pond with my sister when the wind suddenly picked up and got us jammed in the reeds. I got to speed around a track in a go kart as I tried and failed to win the race. I discovered Mateo's Mexican Grill Cantina and loved it. I highly recommend Mateo's to anyone near Pinetop or Show Low. My trip was definitely an adventure and a trip that changed me inside somehow. I look forward to returning to watch the mesmerizing fireworks on the fourth of July, and I am extremely thankful to be living in a free country! God bless America!

Hannah- This and That

Reagan, totally amazing post. I was tearing up a bit girl! Guys, just FYI, I will be posting for a while. Reagan will be soaking in the sun in Cali and Elle will be boogie boarding at the beach. Seriously, I am so jealous.

Anyway, I hope your summer has been great! I have had a fantastic time this summer. Recently, we did a family vacation to Disneyland. It was a blast! We went on so many rides and ate lots of cotton candy. We had 11 people total in our family that came. We usually got our very seat or boat on the rides with all 11 of us. We even got our own row on Soarin' Over California, which is one of my most favorite rides.

HIGHLIGHT OF MY TRIP: When my awesome uncle managed to go on California Screamin' with me. Not every adult will go on a roller coaster that will go upside-down.

I hope everyone has had an awesome summer! TTYL!

Love,

HANNAH <3
