4 Years!

Joseph and I are celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary today. We have moved from Salt Lake to Provo to Salt Lake to Kansas. We have made it through college graduations, tornadoes and ice storms, 2 years of grad school, our sweet little Owen, and much more. It has been a wonderful 4 years!

Grandpa Hinckley

Yesterday was Grandpa Hinckley's birthday; he would have turned 100 years old. We have been thinking about him a lot this week and how he was (and is) a great example to us. Sometimes we can almost hear him telling us to keep working at it and that things will work out.



We will always "Be" grateful, smart, clean, humble, true, and prayerful.

Owen's birthday weekend!

Owen turned 2 on Sunday and we had a fun weekend of parties, friends, and cake and ice cream.

On Friday I had planned to have a few of Owen's friends over to play outside, but the weather didn't work with us, thank goodness for family to bail us out; we had fun in my brother's gym and just let the kids run around and enjoy some pizza and cupcakes. It was so fun to have our family and friends over and Owen loved every minute of it!





On Sunday, Owen's actual birthday, he opened a few gifts in the morning, then we had some family over later that night for some ice cream.




Owen had to have his helmet on; we had just gone to a Bees baseball game and he saw all the batters with helmets on, so before he was ready to play baseball he had to have his bike helmet.



Some of the Koelliker cousins.



On Monday Owen had a little party with his Hansen cousins. Needless to say after all of these parties he has been asking for cake today and keeps wanting me to sing "Happy Birthday" to him!






We love Owen so much and are so happy that he is in our family. He loves all sports, trains, trucks, and all of his friends and cousins. He talks all the time, and loves to go on hikes and bike rides with Joseph and Uncle Spence. Everyday he wants to go and see Bobby and E (Erin) and their puppy dog, Riggins. He loves talking to his Grandma and Grandpa in "Afffffrica" and his Grammie and Pops in "Ssssspain". We love you Owen!

Memorial Day

I know this is late, but we had a relaxing Memorial Day here in Salt Lake. We had planned to go with my family to our cabin but Owen got sick so we had to change our plans.

The boys went on a fun bike ride Saturday morning, Owen has not stopped talking about it since.





We went to visit the cemetery and remembered our loved ones that we miss so much.



Owen also enjoyed his first ice cream cone, he is a Hinckley- he starts eating chocolate and he can't stop smiling!
