It's been a long time since the last post but we have been busy and homeless. We are living with my aunt Tammy and family right now. We had to get out of our rental house because it was in forclosure and we had no idea. We are super excited to be building a house in Eagle Mountain and it won't be done until October. The kids are adjusting well to being homeless but Colby really misses having his own room and all of his toys. We have been up to Idaho a lot and we went camping up at the the family RV Park. Colby has been riding the 4-wheeler as much as possible. We look forward to a normal life again.

Happy Birthday Brian




I wanted to wish my brother a Happy Birthday! I really do miss him and I would never forget his Birthday. It's been 4 years since he passed away and the hurt hasn't gone away. I think of him everyday. I know he is around us but I miss his laugh, his hugs, and his fun sense of humor.

The kids and I went to Brian's grave today and put some flowers on it. I know Colby doesn't fully understand where Brian is but he tells me that he misses him. I think it's really sweet. I look forward to telling my boys and his boy about all the memories I have of him. He was an amazing man, so much fun, and loved by everyone. I know this separation is temporary and I look forward to seeing him again someday.

He was so cute!! He loved all the attention. Thanks to everyone that came to celebrate with us. We love you all.

Eggs, Eggs, and more Eggs

Colby is tired after finding all his eggs and candy

Today we celebrated Easter with the whole family. We colored eggs this morning and Colby made an egg that represented each of us. The blue egg was Colby, the yellow egg was Cody, the pink egg was mom, and the orange egg was Harrison. He had lots of fun coloring them.

Later in the afternoon we went over to my aunt Tammy's house for the Big Annual Easter Egg Hunt. She has this every year and we have never missed since she started it. Colby and Harrison found lots of candy. It was funny because Colby was very selective when picking up the eggs and candy. If he didn't like the candy or the eggs weren't his favorite colors, he wouldn't pick it up. His big prize was a hippity hop and he loves it. Harrison was impressed with just one egg and his big prize was a ball. I know my aunt goes to a lot of work every year so we really appreciate her and all she does so we can have fun.

Birthday

Me & Grandma



Well I can't believe it but I just turned 30 years old. Honestly I was having a hard time with my birthday this year. I know it seems silly but remember when my aunts turned 30 and I thought they were getting old. I still feel like I did when I was 18 years old but a little sleep deprived having two kids. My family had a surprise party for me which was lots of fun. My grandma has a birthday a few days before mine so we celebrated it together. Thanks to my family for the surprise. Also my mother-in-law (Robin) shares my birthday so Happy Birthday to You!!!
