Bridger Is 3

Our Bridger is 3 year old.  He is so fun and we can't imagine our life without him.  Here are some fun facts about our crazy boy:

1. His favorite color is.."grain and bloo".  He always chooses green when there's an option.
2. He LOVES puzzles.  He does them over and over and over again, ALL DAY.  He especially loves dinosaur puzzles.  
3. His favorite show is Curious George.  
4. Any food, book, or thing he sees that he wants, he'll say, "Oh, thats my fay-rit."
5. He still wakes up in the night and yells at the top of his lungs, "DADDYYYYYY!"
6. It is no secret he prefers his dad over everyone else.
7. Sometimes I'll find him playing with his dinosaurs or Disney figures, and he'll be saying back and forth, "How are yu? No, How are YU?  NO, 'OW ARE YUUU?"
8. Bridger is a sympathetic soul.  If Ty is crying, he is quick to give out hugs or try making him laugh.
9. His favorite food are pancakes
10. Bridger is the busiest boy around, and he is not happy unless he stays that way.  He is asking all day, " 'Nother Aptipty (activity)?"

Hemming Family Reunion 2015

At the end of July, we flew to Arizona where we had the greatest family reunion with Tim's family.  It was such a treat to meet Tim's 90 yr-old grandma Cleda.  She was an absolute delight.  I love Tim's family so much.  They are truly amazing people.

Today was the last day in our ward.  As I sat in class, I thought of all the incredible people I've met in this ward and how blessed I've been to meet so many good friends.  I came here three years ago, with a brand new baby, an overwhelmed husband, and no idea what I was doing.  I prayed and prayed for a friend.  I felt so alone.  Then, only after living here a couple of weeks, the cutest girl living down the hall, invited me to a girls night to watch, "The Bachelor."  I was so excited.  Since then, I have met so many wonderful girls who have really made my experience here one I will always cherish.  Heavenly Father knows us so well and really does use other people to help us feel His love.  I will miss this place more than I can say, but I also know that it is time for the next chapter and I am ready.

Tim has been studying 12+ hours a day for the bar and he takes it on Tuesday.  It's been a rough couple of months, but I'm so grateful for my hard working husband.  Even with all the stress of this dumb test, he is still the sweetest sexiest man alive.  These pictures are some of the last things we've done up here before the move: 

Tons of Pictures Update

Ty is the sweetest baby I have ever met.  Seriously - a total joy and boy, does he love his mamma.  This whole Plagiocephaly thing has been a bit of a trial, but because of his happy disposition, the helmet doesn't seem to bother him much.  He wears it 23 hours a day but because it makes him extra hot, he got a heat rash, so he gets a little break for a couple days - no fun.

It is tricky to put on and get just right.  Most the time, his eye kind of droops.

My beautiful grandma and mom - watching Bridger play at the Rec Center

The 4th of July was wonderful this year.  Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays and Provo does it right.  I got to see the hot air balloon party from the top of a mountain, Bridger learned all about fireworks, and while Tim watched the boys, I went to the Stadium of Fire with my family.  What a show!  Tim says I was born in the wrong decade because 70s music is my jam.  Journey put on an awesome show and Lindsey and I sang our hearts out.  It was my brother's birthday that day, and I thought about him the whole weekend.  Ryan would have been right there, rocking out with us.  I miss that boy.  He'll be home from his mission just in time for Christmas and I can't wait.  We'll crank up Styx and Journey and dance around the kitchen island, like the old days.  (Hopefully he won't think its devil music.)
