So, I just wanted to say a happy birthday to my sweet husband Flavio....I love you and I hope we can celebrate many more birthdays together! We love you! Love, Niki and Hannah

True Love

I wanted to talk about two of the most important people in my life...Flavio and Hannah. I feel like we have spent so much time, effort, emotion and money working on having the next child that I forget to take a step back and really be grateful for what I have. We sent this picture to Flavio, just as a little love note. But I am not sure if I do that enough. I want everyone to know that I have a wonderful caring husband, who really wants me and Hannah to be happy. He is truly the love of my life. And as for Hannah, well I never knew I could love someone so quickly and so deeply. She has blessed us more than I could have ever imagined. I hope that all of us at some point step back, even when life seems crazy and hard, and look at the blessings we do have. I love my little family and if this is all God wants for us to have, I will be completely happy with it. He knows what is best for us and I know He will do all He can to make us happy. I love the Gospel.

Thank you for all of your love and friendship!

Dance, dance mania!

So, we got Hannah into dance lessons. It is a local place in the Ranches. She had a lot of fun. They played lots of games and pretended to be different animals. Really, it just gives us something to do to break up the day. She had a lot of fun and it will be a good way to stay active in the winter.... She is just growing up too fast!

Hannah's new room part 2

Her quote says: "A little girl is Heaven's most precious flower."
Hannah loves to read, so I made her a little reading corner...she loves to read there.

I had bright pink curtains before, but I like this better...the pink was just too much.


So here is the "ALMOST' finished product...I still have to put up chair rail and get a picture printed up for her room. Hannah loves all the colors and she loves her new bed. It is so hard to say goodbye to her "baby" stage, but we are having so much fun with her right now. She is learning so much and it is so fun to be able to have conversations with her. I want to thank Amy and Jason Crowther, their vinyl prints add so much to her room! They have the coolest business! I can't wait to order my canvas print from them to finish off her room...now I just need a picture that I LOVE to print out. Anyway, I love her new room and I can't wait for us to have another baby so I can do it again!

Adoption

I realize that we talk about this a lot, but we have registered with another company that does nation wide profiling. It is a wonderful company that has a lot of success for many families. We are excited to be apart of it. Here is the direct link to our profile, please pass it on.

Ants in my carpet?!

Okay, I realize that this is going to freak many of you out. And yes, it is really weird of me to post, however I was just amazed by this little ant who carried this massive piece of Hannah's Gold Fish across our carpet on Sunday. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not pro-ant or pro-bug, I have killed my fair share, and maybe it was because of Conference and the knowing that this little guy was one of God's creatures too, I just had to take a picture of him hauling this snack across my carpet. I thought, how amazing are these little creatures...he was so determined and worked so hard just for a basic necessity. Anyway, I hope I don't lose too many friends with this, as I know it is a little crazy...but I thought he was amazing, even though I ended up getting too close to him and he dropped the fishy anyway. :/

Hannah's new room

So we are redoing Hannah's room and I ordered this shelf from a company here in Eagle Mountain called, Poppy Ginger. The link is on my blog. Anyway, they are very affordable and do custom jobs. And look how cute her window is now! I can't wait to get her room all done so I can blog it. Hannah just loves the room and so do I.
