Hearts Melting and Snow Pounding

Hallie and Hayden are my number one's on melting my heart and lately that has been in full gear:) So hear are some adorable's from little Hals :)

Yesterday-
H - Mom, can you please sleep by me?
Me - I need to sleep on a mattress sweetie.
H- Where is your mattress?
Me- On my bed in my bedroom
H- (deliberating) Mommy please can you sleep by me?
Me - Remember, I need to sleep on a mattress.
H- Mommy can you move your mattress into my bedroom on the floor and then sleep by me?
Me -(melted heart) How about you come into my room in the morning when you wake up and we can snuggle.
H- Ok
Me - (feeling bad and still slushy) and then maybe sometime this week we can have a slumber party
H- And it can be a girls night out!!!
Me- Yup!
H- And I can sleep in your bed all night long! And Daddy will be gone and I will miss him.
Me- Ya... (doubly melted)

Today - She didn't want to get out of her nice warm bed and join me so I laid on the floor by her for 10 seconds before she was done and wanted to sit up and chat about the day...
H - Mommy is the sun awake now?
Me - Yes, it's morning!
H- Does the sun have a face and arms and hands?
Me - No not really
H - Then how does he say his prayers?
Me -(yes that's the melting point) Well...he's not really alive so he doesn't really say prayers. (anyone have better answers? I swear I have had the most unanswerable questions these past few months!)
H- He's not alive and doesn't really say prayers?...( that gave her a pause to think, and then other questions for the day burst through) :)

Last but not least in ballet class! Hallie is SO adorable in her little tutu, leotard and tights! Every time I see her dance I melt! She will just randomly giggle in class and just loves it! I haven't figured how to get the pictures off my phone to the computer, but I will soon so look for pictures soon!

Now for the Pounding Snow :) We took a very needed vacation/trip to Colorado this past weekend to visit family and see your cute little niece Kasia get baptized. It was a fabulous trip and so great to see them! We had late nights, uncontrollable laughter, and some cocka-doodle-doo's (we snorta like this new game called snorta:) ) On our drive out we stopped half way in Grand Junction and stayed at a nice hotel with a heated indoor pool. That was a piece of heaven for all of us! I love only having to entertain for 4 hours! Then to wake up and swim before having to jump back in the car was fabulous! So of course we did the same thing on the way home. Unbeknown to us it wasn't really an option to go on that night anyway; the freeway was closed down because of snow and wind that was pushing several cars off of the road. It snowed all night and we decided to head out early to avoid more snow... An hour later we saw a crunched car off the road because of the slippery roads. It was pretty bad. Then it seemed to clear slightly and we felt like it was getting a little better, unfortunately the roads did actually do that. 70 miles a hour on a turn that was suddenly icy proved that the roads were NOT good. We took the turn and our wheels kept turning. We started spinning so fast and all I saw was white and a pole in front of us! Luckily we missed the pole and the spinning had slowed, but we just skidding down the side of the bank our two wheels on the top of the hill came off the ground and I was sure we were going to roll, but right then we hit into a bank of snow on the other side and it knocked the wheels back to the ground. I pretty much couldn't breath and Hayden was freaked out too. I looked back to Hallie and she said,"That was a crazy ride!" We were all ok and that was a huge blessing! We got a little help moving the car out away from the bank and toward the road a little bit, but ended up needing a tow truck to pull us all the way out! It was a crazy adventure and of course I documented it :)
