Happy New
Years to all! I hope it was a good one,
full of hopes and dreams and great goals for the fabulous year of 2016. We all made it to new years, and doing pretty
well. We have some great goals, but I
wrote about some of those in a different blog post. But I wanted to post a few things that
happened in Jan. Some fun and exciting
things happened in the Hemby Household.
Ammon is 6 months old! And we made it that far without having to
supplement him! However, we did have to
start supplementing him with formula, but he is eating baby food really
well. He loves the cereals and the first
few bites of each new baby food he gives us a funny face, but other than that
he is eating really well! He is just
loving anything that we give him and happy to try new things. He is sitting up by himself, and is babbling
a lot now. Sometimes we even feel like
he is really talking to us, and it is as cute as can be.
Michael is doing well. He is growing and full of energy, per the
usual. He had a visitor this month from
a friend that lives in California now.
Matt, Diana, Ethan and Sierra came to visit us this month and it was a
really awesome visit! Matt had to go
back to California, so I didn’t get to see him a lot, but Diana came back with
the kids and they played and had fun.
Until the end, and then Michael was crying about something. So the pictures we tried to take didn’t turn
out so well, but that’s the fun thing about kids. They may not have turned out how we wanted right
now, but in the future it will be a funny thing to look back on. Especially Michael’s face in some of those
pictures. I took pics of Ammon and Sierra and it was
really cute to watch them interacting and playing together. When we were trying to get a picture of all
the kids on the couch, and we were trying to get them all to look at the camera
and hold the little ones, Sierra was leaning towards Ammon, and right in the
middle of everything she leaned over and licked him! I really wish we would have caught that on
camera, but it was so funny anyway. J
Something really special is going on
right now down in Provo. The new Provo
City Center Temple open house is going on.
We were forntunate enough to be able to get tickets to go, and we
invited Grandma Holly and Grandpa Charles.
It was a really wonderful experience.
Matthew sang in the tabernacle many times with the BYU Men’s Chorus, and
had a lot of great memories there. It
also is right next to the headquarters for Nu Skin, where both Matthew and I
work right now. It was a beautiful time, and we were able to feel the spirit so
strongly there. The kids were very good
as well. They got to go again with Grandma
Gwen and Grandpa Roger, and Grandpa and Grandma Great! Michael asks us every time he sees the temple
or we drive past if we can go back. He
really loved it and tells us that he wants to go there someday. It is so cool to see that spirit in him at
this age. He will love going when he is
old enough to go.
The boys are doing really great in
church as well. It used to be that
Michael would only stay an hour in nursery then he would cry and wonder where
we were. But, now we can’t get him to
leave nursery at the end of the day. It causes
problems to actually take him home from church, because he likes to be there
with the other children and “learn about Jesus” he tells us. It is so cute to see them both all dressed up
and ready to go to church with us. J
We also made some new friends this
month, the Bowens. They are in our ward,
and have 4 little boys. It’s so funny
that the people we meet or are our friends have all boys. J
Michael loved to play with them and it was great to get to know Haley
and Mike. We felt so at home right from
the start and are excited to get to know them better and plan another time to
hang out.
We have loved the way the first
month of the year has gone. We
accomplished some goals and did well on others.
We feel so grateful to think of the things we have in our lives that the
Lord has blessed us with. He truly loves
us and we are so happy to see what this year will bring to our little
family.
