Classic Skating

Mr. Red CheeksGetting rid of all that energy!!!

Cute Little Guy

Haylee...The Birthday Girl

Papa and Dada took the kids to Classic Skating for Haylee's Birthday last week. They had so much fun, they just ran around like chickens with their heads cut off....they are so fun to watch. Especially, when they try so hard to skate, I think it's harder on us trying to keep them up. Jackson and Graice's favorite is the big bouncers they play sooo hard their cheeks turn bright red. Thanks Papa and Dada for the fun night!!!

Gracie...So Sweet

The other day we were driving down the road and passed Syracuse cemetary and Gracie says " Mom is Grandma Grape still in her angel bed?" I said yes she will always be in her angel bed. I thought that it was so cute that she saw her casket as an angel bed. I am so lucky that they got to know and will always remember "Grandma Grape". ( They always thought we were saying grape when we were saying great).

Jackson...Mr Politics

Wednesday night we were driving to Salt Lake to see my Grandpa...We were on the freeway and Jackson says "Mom look there's the White House were that brown guy lives". I just smiled and told him that was the Capitol and not the White House, I had to explain the differences to him and who the "brown guy" was. He's so funny, sometimes I don't realize that he's even paying attention. Kids know a lot more than we give them credit for....Smart Little Turd!!!

Just A Little Something

There comes a point in your life when you realize: Who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So, don't worry about the people from you past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

In Loving Memory

My sweet Grams is now my sweet angel... I am going to miss her so much I am so sorrry that she had to go through so much in the past little while. Everyone is trying to be strong, but it is hard. On Monday my Gram kept writting letters...because she couldn't talk. She wrote that she has a great journey ahead of her and not to be sad. My Gramps was so sweet, he would put his head to hers and he would just cry. He would kiss her forehead and cheeks and she would rub it in so it stayed. Their love and marriage is so special they have been married for 57 years...amazing!! Everyone got to say good bye to her... I told her that I loved her so much and that I'll miss her, I asked her to tell my Dad that I love him and miss him....she shook her head up and down saying yes. She is so special to me, I will never forget everything that she has done for me, my family, and for everyone that knew her. I will miss her with all of my heart, I just know that they are celebrating her in heaven and she is with my Great Grandma (her mom), and my dad, my uncle Steve and we can't forget about Brookie (my mom's bassett hound).
Gram, I love you and will miss you so much!!!
Know that we will always be thinking of you!

My poor Gramps and Grams

Tonight I went down to the hospital to see my Grandma...it was worse than I was expecting. She has to have this huge ventilator on her face, it drives her crazy... and it looks a little clastrophobic. I feel sooooo bad for her. They have found out that she has Lou Gerins disease (i'm not sure how to spell his name). It is a disease that takes away all of your mobility...walking, talking, even swallowing. Everything goes except your brain. She totally knows what's going on and she's being so brave!!! Tomorrow they are taking the feeding tube out and putting it in her stomach...this will be so much better because the tube is killing her throat.
It's funny how sickness and death can bring a family together and then soon after it's tore apart. I don't understand why some family members have to be so selfish!!!
I love you Grams so much and I love you and I am so proud of you Gramps for also being so brave through this time in your life.

I was REALLY hoping!!

All I can say is that I was really hoping that 2009 would be a better year, but so far it is proving me wrong!
My poor Grandma is not doing well at all!!! I feel sooooo bad because I have not seen her since Thanksgiving, every time that I plan to go down to see her we are sick...I don't want to get her sicker, or she's having a bad day and don't need visitors.
I just hope that everything turns out ok. She was taken to the hospital today to be put on a ventilator...it's not permanent right now, they have to see what's all going on....Oh and my Grandpa went to the doctors on Saturday because he had ulcers on his legs and....he's got staff infection. What do you know it just never freakin' ends!!! He's been going in everyday for a shot to try and get rid of it, they gave him his shot this morning before taking my Grandma up to the ICU . All I can say is please God let everything be ok!!!

The other night I was playing around with the camera, taking pictures of the dogs and this is what I caught!!!
If you look close in the pictures you will see ORB'S!!

Look at the blinds and below them on the floor, there are 2 of them

This one is in the laundry room on the right side

This one is on the armoire...BIG one

This one is right behind Hagen....He sure is cute!!!

Like Father like Son!!!

I was putting clothes away one day, and this is what I ran into!!!

Jackson was sitting on the toilet playing his DS, with his feet up on the stool (just in case he might be there for a while), and with one sock on. What is it with boys thinking that they need to be entertained while in the bathroom???
