Catching Up

It seems like FOREVER since I have posted, and though I have been waiting for Ben to get pictures off our camera so I would have something for you all to look at as I write (yes, I STILL can't take pics off the camera and put them on the computer), I decided I am just going to go ahead and catch up on the life of me and my girl and man. So a couple weeks ago, Ben, Mariah and me all headed to Ogden to go "fly" in the indoor air tunnel. Bethy's man Davy works there and so my Mom got gift certificates for most of us kids for Christmas. Ben and I were excited to try this out and we walked into the tunnel place to get set up. Mariah was with us since Aunt Katie was coming and couldn't fly (do to her 9 month pregnant little body), so M and AJ and Bethy's boy Logan were going to play while the non-pregnant adults flew. As we were checking in, the tunnel worker asked us if M was going to fly too. We said, "No, she's only 3." To which he replied, "They can fly as long as they are 3." Oh, okay then...Ben's mind starting racing and he thought, "I don't really want to try this anyway, but Mariah probably would..." Thus, Ben decided to give his gift certificate to M so she and I could fly together!!!!! What a Dad!!!! So turned out all 3 of us got to fly together. (Davy had extra minutes that he was nice enough to give Ben)M was very nervous, but not enough to stop her from trying something new! (Although the ear plugs were almost a deal breaker.) So fun! What a brave little girl we have! Kid will "fly" in some loud air tunnel with no ground under her, yet I can't even get her to try mac and cheese! Oh well. I have never been prouder, and though she only wanted to do her 1st of 2 minutes, saying, "No thanks Mom, just once" when I tried to get her up for her second session, I just think she is even awesomer than I ever knew! Thanks Mom for giving us the BEST experiences together. We Love You!
