Korea Pictures

These mini statues are everywhere. This is a playground at our hotel.

This is a view of the garden from our hotel room window. We are on the 9th floor, so this is a ways down.

Random Kanosh Picutres

Jared and I took the girls to temple square. Here the girls are on the steps of the Salt Lake City temple.

Here we are as a family in front of the Salt Lake Temple.

The girls loved playing outside at Grandma Lang's house.

Here the girls are with great-great-grandma Dathel.

Jared put too much bubble bath solution in the tub. Here is the result.

Sleep Kanosh

Ariana and Emmalee kept bringing Grandma toys while she was sleeping. This is their way of saying they love her.
Carinne is obviously Emma's favorite!! She wanted to be with her night and day.

Empty House

Our house is empty. We have packers come to our house Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. As some packers were taking apart the girls' bed, Jared asked them where their bed was. They both stated "in our room", with a look like, where else would it be. So Jared asked them to show him. That's when they discovered that the packers were taking apart and packing up their bed. Then Emma stated in a sweet innocent, and really serious tone "can I have my bed back please. It is mine, please put it back". The packers just laughed while Emma was waiting for them to follow her request. Half of our stuff is in Kanosh while the other half is on it's way to Korea. I was really excited to go, but after looking at my empty house, I felt like crying. I have so many great friends here, so many wonderful memories, and a ward that is so awesome!!! Although I am grateful for the opportunity that we have to remain together as a family, a part of my heart will linger in Colorado. We will also miss our family out in Utah, Jared's parents and his aunts and uncles. We are traveling there in a couple of days and cannot wait to spend time with them. Jared and I have always thought about living in that small town. Every time we go out there we look at the piece of land that we want and make plans on where we would build our house, our barn, what animals we would have, and the different types of fruit trees we would plant. It is so fun to plan our future. Latley we have just been going with the flow, and that is fun too. We never know what is around the corner, but we always try to make the most of it.
A couple of days ago, a friend and I went out to lunch at Red Robins. They gave Ariana and Emmalee balloons. We managed to shove them in the car and drive to Wal-Mart. Then the unimanigable happened. Emma's blue balloon flew away when I tried to retrieve her from the car. She asked me to get it as I tried to explain how only birds can fly. Then she asked a bird to go and get her balloon. When the bird flew away I told her that her balloon flew far far away to Grandma Lang's house. Now, her and Ariana can have a full converstaion about how her balloon is at Grandma Lang's house, and how Grandma has to share the balloon with Emma. It is so cute. So the girls are anticipating the trip to Grandma Lang's house (be ready Grandma Lang [blue balloon]).

Packing Our Bags

We are so happy to say that we are almost ready for the packers to come and pack our house in 4 days, yikes!!!! I am not sure when the next time I will be able to blog. We are heading to Kanosh in 12 days and stay there for awhile before we (Jared, myself, and the girls, my parents, and Jared's family) heads to Disneyland. We are leaving from there to Korea. I am so excited and sad at the same time. I will miss my friends here, my family, and my home. We love you all and can't wait to see what adventures await us. And as the Koreans would have it, Annyong hi kaseyo or Do poepket ssumnida.

Princesses

JJ was over visiting, and we wanted to dress up like princesses. So they each picked out their dresses, they got sparkles in their hair, and princess make up was applied (Ariana was the first, and therefore my experiment). We then sat down, or danced, while we watched a princess movie. Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, See No Evil

Sweet Memories

I was recently at my parents house, and she gave me these pictures of our wedding reception in Kanosh. Jared and I have never seen these pictures before (except for a couple of days ago). Sweet Memories.

Little did we know that Jared would leave to Afghanistan 12 days later.

We are so silly!!!
