My Mission President

Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you

This is a picture of my mission president, Lindon Robison.

On the mission, he inspired me to be a better person. 

  Even though I have been home for 5+ years, when I think about him and what he taught me, I am still inspired to do and be better.

The World

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die 

 

I want to see the world.  And I want my kids to see it too.  I feel like the more we are able to travel, the less pressure we will put on ourselves to "Keep up with the Jones" and the more grateful we will be for everything we have in our lives.

Jared and I have a world map hanging in Noah's room that we love to go and stare at.  We put pins in all the places that we have been to together.  We hope to be able to put pins all over the world, but especially in:

• Peru (I need to see Machu Pichu.  Jared's been and loved it.  But no pin until we are both there together.  I also love peruvian food and want to eat some while in that country)
• Venezuela (Angel Falls)
• Brazil
• Argentina (of course, as I'm typing these, I would like to add..."if they are safe." If the countries hate Americans, I do not want to be there.)
• Hong Kong
• Australia
• New Zealand
• England (we are going next year, yay!)
• France
• Switzerland
• Holland
• Egypt
• South Africa
• Greece
• Alaska
• Costa Rica
• Japan
• Thailand
• Oregon
• Maine

Ok, I now realize I could type forEVER all the places that we want to go to, so for now, you can just have a taste. ha ha  Jared needs to start making some serious ca$h so we can check these off the list.  One day, when we have a really fancy office, I want to have a fancy world map in a frame behind the island desk and in between the custom bookshelves.  Ahh, one day!

Suzy

I'm taking a break today from the blogging challenge to blog about Suzy Kaye!  She is getting so big- 5 1/2 months, where is the time going?

Although I haven't captured it too often in pictures, Suzy loves to smile and laugh.  It's my favorite.

Noah and Suzy are best little buddies (thank goodness---it didn't start out that way).  I catch them holding hands a lot (no, I didn't make them for the picture).  It's so sweet!

Love those big eyes!

She's working on sitting up...almost there.

Suzy with her boyfriend, Max.  Max is only one month younger than Suz.

Ready to eat!  Suz is actually always ready to eat.  No problems there!

I love her sweet face and calm personality.

Hanging out with brother.

Suzy's Quick Stats: (this is more for my benefit than anything)

• 13 lbs 13 oz (29th percentile)
• 24 inches tall (17th percentile)
• Head Cir 41 cm (29th percentile)
• 1 tooth coming in
• On a great schedule: 2 naps a day and wakes up at 3:30 am for a bottle.  I can handle that.
