I'm PREGNANT!

We are so excited! I'm almost 11 weeks pregnant. Cooper can't wait to have a little brother or sister to play with.

Newport Beach

We also had fun playing at the beach while we were in California.

Disneyland

Last weekend my family went to Hawaii for my sister, Jayla's Make-a-wish. Mason got work off and we were hoping to go with them, but it didn't work out, so instead my parents sent Mason, Cooper and I to Disneyland. We had a blast and here are a ton of pictures to prove it.

This is Cooper on his favorite ride, Winnie The Pooh. He loves the movie, so he loved the ride. We got to go on it like 4 times.

Cooper was so excited to see Pooh & Tigger in real life, he couldn't even contain himself. I don't think I've ever seen him so excited, but then once we got up close to them he didn't really know what to think and didn't want to touch them.

Mason's Trip To Guatemala

Most of you know that Mason is in the process of applying to dental school, he just graduated from BYU and he is working right now as a dental assistant. For his graduation gift his parents sent him on a dental service trip to Guatemala for 9 days with a group called "Smiles for Honduras" they do these dental service trips all over Central America. The group is made up of volunteer dentists and pre-dental students, and they provide free dental care to people who really need it and cannot pay for it.

Mason has been home now for about two weeks, he had an amazing time and worked really hard. He worked 14 hour days most days and the group provided dental care to over 500 people while they were there. It was fun for Mason to get to use his Spanish so much, and he said he couldn't believe how much everything reminded him of Honduras (where he served his mission). I wanted Mason to do a post about his trip, but he hasn't gotten around to it, so I figured I would post a bunch of pictures and if he wants to he can add some details or stories later.

The clinic was set up in a church, just one dental chair after another

This is the Guatemala Temple (below)

Each person in the group was asked to pack all of their personal items into just carry on luggage and both of their checked bags were filled with humanitarian items, that they gave to people while they were there.


Most families there never get to take a family picture, Mason's group took family pictures, printed them on the spot and gave them to the families in a frame. It meant a lot to them.



The picture below is of Mason with a lady that he bought a hand-made hat from. Notice that Mason is kneeling.
These next pictures are of an orphanage that they visited, and brought some supplies to. Mason said visiting the orphanage was a very neat experience.
The orphanage was called "Hogar de Sion" and it was started by an LDS couple from the U.S.

The children knew some primary songs and sang them for the group.



These last pictures are of the end of the trip, they spent two nights at a beautiful lake, called Lake Atitlan.

Mason went on a hike and then went on a series of zip lines through the jungle, he said it was awesome and wants to go back one day with me.
