Family Pictures

While we were in Snowflake for our sealing we had our family pictures taken. We had Kate Lines, a friend from school take them. I have been waiting all week to see them. She did a fabulous job, as always. So if you would like to see them check them out on her blog... Thanks so much Kate. We LOVE them. Can't wait to see the rest!!

Families Can Be Together Forever...

The week before last was such a special week for us. On Thursday Dev and I celebrated our 4th anniversary. We went out to dinner and stayed at the bed and breakfast in Snowflake. It was a nice little break and nice to have a little time to ourselves. I can't believe it has been 4 years already. Time has gone by so fast.
On Friday we went to the temple and did our endowments. And since Josh is getting ready to leave on his mission he did his too... it was such a special night and having our family and friends there with us made it even better.
Then on Saturday Dev, the boys and I were sealed. We have been waiting a long time for this day to come and we are so happy that it finally came... It was such an awesome day. Words cannot explain. Dev and I were a little worried about how the boys would behave, but they did so good. Deagan still talks about it everyday and wants to go back. I hope he always feels that way. Grandad did the sealing. Having him and Grandma there made things that much more special. I am so grateful for my family and I love them so much and I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for the opportunity to go to the temple and be sealed to them for Eternity.

Our Eternal Family

The boys were not up for pictures afterwards... can you tell??

Thank you so much to everyone who was there to share our special day. It really meant a lot to have you all there. We are grateful for all of you and grateful for everyone who helped us get here. It was such a good weekend and so good to see family and friends we don't see that often. And of course, the food afterwards was delicious! You can always expect good food from the Hancocks!

Lately...

I have been terrible at updating my blog lately. I seem to go through phases. Sometimes I do really good and then I slack off.... there has just been so much going on lately the blog has been put on the back burner... But, everyone is asleep and the house is quiet so now is my chance to finally get a post done! So here is a little of what we have been up to...

The boys played in the mud. There is always mud to be played in when your yard is nothing but dirt and weeds... this was Treyden's first time in the mud, and he LOVED it. He started getting tired of it once his shoes were covered and he couldn't walk though. They both had a ball.

The first tumble of many.

Better play in the mud while you can boys, because soon the dirt and weeds will be no more! Atleast that's what I am hoping....

We took a special trip to Snowflake. (More about that to come...)

Eatin' a popsicle... Yummy!

Ridin' the four-wheeler with Dude and Grammy. Deagan has to do this atleast 100 times everytime we are up there...

We bought some sand for the sandbox :)

We planted a garden. Here are the boxes Dev built me. He did a good job. Now we are just hoping something will grow. This is our first garden so we will see...We got everything planted, but so far it's not looking good... we may get a few things, but probably not everything... Deagan loves it though...

We have been doing work on our yard and it still looks like we haven't done anything. We definitely didn't realize what we were getting ourselves into when we bought a house with absolutely NO landscaping done... it's a lot of work and it's definitely not cheap! But, we are getting there... slowly. Our goal this year is to get the backyard finished. We have been getting it all ready for grass :) I am super excited for that. So, hopefully we can get that done SOON. Before it gets too hot!
