Sealing and Memorial Day!

 My little monkey! 

 Daddy and Aleana enjoying the evening. 

Playing in the pool with Addy and Kaylee.  Chelsie and Kaylee have moved and we are going to miss them. Although they are only in Smithfield so we can still see each other every so often.  

 I had just brought her in from swimming and got her dressed.  I went in to get a drink and came back to find lotion everywhere.  Can't leave her alone for a minute.  Luckily it was pretty easy to clean up. 

 Wearing Dads church shoes. She loves shoes!

 Too bad she was not wearing these with his jacket and tie.  

 This girl loves her blanket and has to take it everywhere.  

 Getting ready for our last swim party at Chelsie's and Aleana wanted to put on her own suit. 

Sealing! 

Saturday May 25th 

 Aleana and Uncle Brian waiting for Grandma to come out. 

My Grandma Taylor went through the temple a few years back and we have all been waiting for her to go to the temple to be sealed to her family.  I guess she felt she was ready because for this birthday she decided to go to the Brigham City Temple and be sealed to my Grandpa and have her children be sealed to her. My mom was so excited that she was finally going to be sealed to her parents and siblings.  

It was a special experience to be in the temple with my family and witness this sealing.  I think the poor sealer was nervous because he kept calling my Carol Ann instead of Joann Carol. He also had to redo my the marriage sealing 3 times and struggled through the children sealing.  It was still a spiritual experience and very memorable. I was so happy to be there with my mom and see her be sealed to her mom since  they were there to see Aleana be sealed to myself and Curt.  I am so happy for my mom she has been waiting for the special day to a long time! 

  It was weird to look around at my extended family and know that there was a everlasting connection between myself and them. This is what life it all about. 

My mom was able to have her entire family in the temple with her and her Granddaughters to greet her outside.  It was a little taste of Heaven. 

Aleana loved being able to play outside the temple and kept trying to climb in the fountain.  However she was not too happy when we left her with Debbie's friend Krystal to be baby sat, luckily there was a movie my tablet and snack so she survived.  She also had a really hard time at dinner because she missed her nap. She fell asleep on they way home and slept though the night except to wake up and have milk.  

Having a snack before Church.  

 Memorial Day! 

We spent Memorial Day at Curt's Parents house, Aleana loved playing out in the field, with the horses and Dogs.  

Giving their horse a kiss! We did not try giving her a ride but I bet she would have liked it she was not afraid.  She Also tried to put her sun glasses and hat on the horse. 

Aleana also liked watching Daddy help his Dad build a shed. 

The walls where Already up when we got there thanks to Mageans husband Brandon but they spent most of the day putting up the tresses for the roof. 

Aleana and her Dad! 

When we were not outside playing we where inside watching movies (Tangled and Frozen) to see if we could get Aleana to take a nap but she would not fall asleep. She finally fell asleep on the floor while Curt was changing her diaper to get ready to go home. She was so out she did not care that we were all talk and walking around her.  She also slept most of the way home.

She had a rough night and then woke up at 6:15 when Curt's Dad left to get supplies. We got up there on Sunday evening and spent the night.  We knew Aleana had a hard time falling asleep away from home so we kept her up until after ten so she was tried and she fell asleep easily.  She woke herself up around 2 and was freaked out because we were down stairs instead of in the room we normal stayed in.  I ran up stairs to use the bathroom and grab her milk.  I came back down and she will still crying and screaming.  Curt started to get her calmed down with the milk but he also needed to use the bathroom.  He handed her to mean and she flipped out.  She was crying and screaming worse then I had ever hear her, everything I did made it worse and she even throw up a little. She just wanted to go find her Dad, but I was afraid of waking everyone up.  Even we Curt came down she did not settle down, we tried singing, rocking, offering her milk but nothing was working and just bad her more up set. I was afraid she was going to throw up again.  Curt finally decided to take her upstairs and she began to clam down because she knew she was at Grandma and Grandpa's.  Curt slept up with her for a few hours and then brought her in bed with us. It was really cute when she woke up, we have been teaching her to ask to be excused from the table, so when she woke up she asked to be excused from bed.  She is such a cutie.
