I'm loved

The other day I went to meet my Mom for lunch. I had to feed Isaak, so I got there a little early so I could feed him in the parking lot. I've been listening to Christmas Music and thought it would be quite festive if we listened to Christmas music while he was eating. I usually feed him in the backseat because it's more discreet and there is more room. I also need to mention that all growing up my Grandma said, "Always lock your door so no one can get in." I've been terrified of these people that want in my car so I always lock my doors.

Since I wanted festive music I had to leave my keys in the ignition and climb into the backseat, which I did. I'm happily feeding Isaak in the back when I realize I haven't locked the doors! I start to panic what if those people want in now? we are so vulnerable. I better try to reach up front and lock the doors. Then I look over and realize that all the doors are already locked. I start to scratch my head in thought. If I locked the doors when I got out of the car how did I open the back door to get into the back seat??? Still an enigma. I think it was a miracle. Thanks Heavenly Father. I might have had a nervous breakdown had I locked my baby in the car with my keys, while he was hungry.

We also stopped at our first accident the other day. It was the day a couple weeks ago when it actually snowed. We saw a car spin out of control and hit the barrier. I yelled at Cory to get over. We jumped out of the car and both started running to the other car when we realized we probably shouldn't leave Isaak alone in the car on the side of the freeway. Cory told me to run to the car since I knew first aid and have my Wilderness First Responder. I stood shocked and terrified--what if the driver was seriously hurt, dangerous, dead, bleeding, or a myriad of pictures went through my mind. Cory noticed I was scared and showed more courage than me. He ran back to the car and checked on the guy. He was fine. He was scared, but he was okay. Phew. Cory is my hero. He also scrapped all the ice off my car for me when I had to leave early before he went to work. Now he's my super hero.

Awww.. Cory is a good guy.
So were those people hurt at all? It's nice when we can recognize life's little miracles.

the guys car was all smashed up, but he was fine. His airbag went off. He just kept asking, "hey do you guys know what happened??"

I love you guys. I also just thought about if he had a bad enough wound if you would have to take your shirt off as a tuniquette (how do you spell that!?) That joke has still been a good one for years..... love you guys!

You are loved!

The picture of cory and isaak is adorable. Isaak is my hero but Cory is a close second. I looked at your mom's photography blog and noticed some cute cute pictures of you....

I was the first to respond to an automobile accident before... it was very scary and I lucked out because a doctor ran up behind me and he handled the blood and everything else much better then I did. I am glad that those experiences don't happen all too often.

Oh and I am glad that Heavenly Father was watching over you. Having a baby locked in the car is an experience that you should NEVER have... and I hope to NEVER experience that too :) I would probably go crazy and break a window or something. Don't you love the moments when we are reminded of how loved we are?

July 29 Ward Lake & the Library Ketchikan

It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. He's really snoring. It's been down pouring since we got here last night and it poured all day long. We got up and headed out to Ward Lake to a BBQ with their church.  It's beautiful. The kids thought it was the best ever because they had donuts, chips, hot dogs, watermelon, cherries and cookies. Isaak of course immediately started playing with some kids his age. Chloe and Lydia frolicked around in the woods and played horseshoes. It stopped raining for maybe 10 minutes, but other than that it picked right back up. I was sure they were going to cancel the BBQ, but again the kids seemed indifferent to all the rain. Some of them were even kayaking. I was too busy freezing! The hike around the lake is 1.5 miles and we saw a beaver den sans beaver. We walked around the Lake and it was like being submerged in the rain forest. Well it's not like being submerged in a rain forest. We were in a rain forest called the Tong...

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

The Farthest North Point & Settlers Cove

The rain continues to come down. I've never seen it rain like this before. Teana and Derek told us that the rain is more consistent with weather in October than in the summer, but weather.com promises that a warm front is in store for tomorrow. We went to church in an amazing building. The ward house was completely built in Cedar. Apparently the church shipped a cedar kit and the members of the church in the area worked with general contractors to put it together. It's beautiful and it smells so good!!! Chloe didn't want to go to primary by herself. At first I was trying tough love, but she started weeping. Okay. So she was actually trully scared. I sat with her in primary and then someone in the sharing time chose to sing Gethsemane. Chloe immediately relaxed. I was again aware of how much Heavenly Father cares for his children. Gethsemane is Chloe's favorite song and she always sings it when she's sad or asks us to sing it for her. She then said it was okay if I...
