A Moment
I am moved to share with you what I experienced today. I know most of you have seen or even been in this type of experience and know its not one you wish upon anyone.
As I was contemplating on what to eat for lunch I knew it was a Wendy's kind of day. I can't remember the last time I have even eaten there, but the prego craving kicked in and my mind was made up. As I realized another errand was in demand to do today I was motivated even more to get Wendy's which was on the way. I approached the freeway with caution and headed toward my craved destination.
I had my cell phone in my hand thinking it was the usual time to call Mike. My thought was interrupted by a swerving white SUV that fishtailed then violently rolled and flipped about 5x to the right. A dust cloud, screeching brakes, and a "oh my gosh" rang in my ears. I immediately pulled over and called 911. As others and myself with phone in hand came up the vehicle we realized the man was coherent. Well kinda.
I won't go into details about what condition he was was in. I realized the victims sister and bother in law were in the car behind him and saw the whole thing just like me. As my rusty spanish kicked in I was communicating between them and those helping their brother in law. I saw good people helping along with those that are trained to help. As I was witnessing the firemen cutting open the drivers door like opening a can a tuna with a really bad can opener my thoughts reflected on an old friend.
My friend Matt is a fireman. He comes from a family of firemen. A family that will always be in my heart. I remember him going to college for EMT, and learning of his graduation from the fire academy when I was serving a mission. I admired him and still do with the choice of being one that helps people for a living. I remember moments after the mission and getting calls from the station he was at. Those were the calls that came late and I knew it was because he needed someone to talk to. One of those times that something he witnessed had really shook him up. I knew at those moments he was human and delicate.
As a helicopter was in order for this gentleman and still communicating with EMT to where he was going the emotions flowed from his family. I hugged and gave what I could to comfort them. They felt helpless and were scared for their brother. My statement was written down and things got cleaned up. Directions to the hospital were explained and a last hug of comfort was given.
I got back in the car reflecting on what happened. The whole thing happened so fast. My thoughts turned to 2 things.
1. It is so hot. Why does it have to be 100 degrees in the middle of September? I think us Arizonans are waiting not so patiently for cooler weather.
2. I really don't put a religious point of view in every experience I have, but this time I did. I realized how fragile life is. My focus turned to the Plan of Salvation. Why we are here, what is our purpose on this earth, and what happens to us when we leave this earth.
A prayer was in my heart to protect me and keep me safe and comfort to those involved. I was calm the whole time which was needed since I am 6months pregnant. I was thankful to a Heavenly Father that helped me communicate since there was no other person there that spoke spanish.
And lastly, going to Wendy's didn't seem so important.

Memories of Utah
Here are some recent pictures that have memories attached that I hope Ryan will remember. I know since he is only 2 1/2 he may not. But I sure will.
Taking a potty break on the way up to Salt Lake. It was a team effort that included his Uncles!
Playing basketball with the "guys" and getting ready for Pioneer Day fireworks at Uncle Jeff's house.
Driving to Tremonton to see Grandpa & Grandma Thompson and taking a ride in Grandpas big truck to see the horses. Playing with cousins he met for the first time and enjoying being outside.
Taking a walk in Aunt Summers crazy flip flops!
Spending time with his Granny Swords.
There are so many other memories he remembers about this trip. We had so much fun seeing family and spending time with them. We took this trip to celebrate Mikes grandparents 50th anniversary. I don't have pictures of the festivities just yet but I will post them soon.
We had such a good time from the kids seeing 2 sets of grandparents and great grandparents, playing with aunts, uncles, cousins, 2nd and I think even 3rd cousins, being a part of a missionary farewell, experiencing fireworks in the front yard, the excitement of seeing large mountains, to being loved and missed by everyone we saw.
I think living in Utah maybe in the future.

Civil Engineering
Well most of you know that Mike will be back in school on Monday. We are all excited to have him back at ASU to finish what he started a few years back. He is a little nervous though. Who wouldn't be? He told me last night at dinner that he feels old compared to those freshmen he saw on campus with their parents. I told him I could of made him look even more old by going with him (showing pregnant) and with kids in tow!
So with a new backpack, heavy books, and a parking pass that still works...there is no turning back!
Good Luck Mike we love you!

20 weeks and counting
We just got back from Utah this last week ( pictures will come soon ) and we had so much fun. We had to come back a day early to get some things done before we started back to work. One of those things was having an ultrasound done. For some reason I was nervous. I have no idea why but just the typical worries of knowing that the baby is healthy and growing.
Well my worries eased as the technician said the baby was measuring big. My first thought but didn't admit was oh this seems like deja vu with Ryan. He measured big too. As she did her measuring from head to toe everything was as it should be. Since the baby was very active and not really wanting to get bothered, I have to get another ultrasound since she wasn't able to get a good reading on the heart. But was told not to worry since the reason was the baby was not staying still.
As the calculations were set, she pushed my due date to December 19th since the baby was measuring big. Those of you that are familiar with December 19th that is Ryan's birthday. Good thing for scheduled c-sections I can pick the day and it won't be that one! :)
So with my mind as ease we got to the part where she would tell us if its a boy or girl. And with much persistence ( the legs were crossed ) we got a wonderful image. Without a doubt...
It's a boy! Congrats Ryan and Maya! I just know you will be such a great big brother and sister!

Maya is 1
Maya had her 1st Birthday this month. I can not believe it has been a year since she was born. I love how she is a part of our family. She had been such a good baby and has such a beautiful personality. Yes, I know all those things coming from her mother are not surprising. Since its so hot here we decided to have just cake and ice cream with family to celebrate her day.

Oh July!
Most of you that are from the East Mesa area know about Ned's Krazy Sub. Yes they have been around since I was born. Seriously! It's a great sub for a great price kinda place. Plus its most devout Mormons eat there.
So for those of you that do love Ned's and go there often like the Mioni/Moore household, we know this one thing.
You will always bump into someone that you know, went to high school with, is in the same ward, last ward, works at the same place you do or did, played sports against, old boyfriends, galfriends you swore you would never lose touch with...you get my point.
And today I was glad I did go to Ned's for Mike.
I bumped into Mrs. Kendra W. with her oh so handsome men in her life! Like I said in the previous post, time does go by fast. Kendra was the one of those people that always has a smile on her face and is the least selfish person I know. Always doing some kind of service. I don't think I told her enough how much I appreciated her supporting me in my calling as a counselor in the Relief Society back in the day. And I know she was very forgiving seeing me with no make up on and hair pulled back.
So remember when going to Ned's you will find an old friend!

14 weeks and counting!
It amazes me how time does fly by. I realized I have only posted 1 time for June and that was to invite people to a jewelry party.
Boring!
But come to think of it nothing has really happened this month. Besides going up to Utah for my nephews blessing and spending time with the Moores we haven't done much. (except for complaining about the weather!)
OH wait....we have accomplished one thing. My goal was NOT to have 3 kids in diapers. Who would want that? So with advice from others, a manual, and lots to drink....
Ryan is potty trained!
I didn't do it all on my own, I had lots of help. Since he spends 2 days a week with my cousin Sara she was so good at getting him started. She has trained her 4 so I knew Ryan could do it. So we are proud of him. We have had some major bumps in the road but I can see light at the end of the tunnel.
