Trick or Tuckered out!

What a long day! After so much excitement the kids were tuckered out!















I took the kids to my mom and dad's after Reuel and Lyn's. My mom is the greatest grandma. She went trick or treating with us on their street. It was really fun. We know all the neighbors and they enjoyed seeing the kids.

I didn't take my camera with us...I wish I had. Marli kept saying she was in charge of being in front while we were walking. At one house the driveway and sidewalk were uneven and she biffed it pretty hard. She fell in a pile of leaves and all the candy in her purple bucket went flying. I felt bad for laughing so hard. She got right up and went running to the next door to ring the doorbell.

BBBBBAT MAN!

I took the kids out to Reuel and Lyn's Halloween night.

Jacob loves the pumpkins on their front steps.


Marli went for a swing ride in Grandma Lyn and Grandpa Reuel's basement.

Erin and Lucas were there. Luke was dressed up as a bat. He is definatly the cutest bat we have ever seen.

Kamri was there too. She was dressed up as a witch. I told her she was the most beautiful witch ever.

Happy Halloween!

What a fun day!


Jacob had his pre-school party on Halloween.


Marli dressed up too! She went to school with Jake for part of the day!


Miss Di is Jake's pre-school teacher. This woman is amazing. She planned a program, parade and party for the kids. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, however it was freezing cold.

Today is a hard day...For those of you that may not know. It was on Halloween when Jaxon first got sick. This White Tiger costume was the last Halloween costume he wore. I thought it would be nice to take Marli to the cemetary while Jacob was in pre-school. I made a fall leaf arrangement and we took it up to him. Marli and I had a special experience together. I know her brother was there with us. He was giggiling at her. I'm grateful for the opportunity I have been given to be a mother. I'm also very grateful when I see the similarities in my three children. Jacob and Marli help keep their brother with me...always.

A day with Our little friend

Eric came

to help Ryan finally get the entertainment center done, and in the house. Melissa was working, And I had a stamp camp. My mom volunteered to watch our kids. Bless her heart. They all had a great day.

I need to get a picture of Jesse with my dad. He fell in love with him. He's said on numerous occasions that he'll watch Jesse anytime, day or night. Melissa said she may just take him up on that.

Thanks Mom for being such a great grandma. Thanks Eric and Melissa for all you do. We love you all!

The Entertainment Center

I have pictures of this thing two and a half years ago and older. It is in our home. You are all welcome to come take a gander at it. I am truely amazed at how absolutely gorgeous it is. Thank you to all who made it possible. Ryan's family worked endless hours on this. I truely appreciate you guys and gals! We are enjoying it very much.

Done Dun Done

Ok...so for those of you who have waited as anxiously as I have. It's true the Entertainment center is finally done and in my house. Three years and it is complete...Thanks to Eric. I can't believe how beautiful it turned out. It was worth the wait.


Ry you do great work!

Family Tradition

We started a family tradition over the last couple of years to go eat at Garcia's when it's a birthday! They're so nice to you on your special day. The food's great, they sing to you, the hat's fun and the fried ice cream is yummy.


Marli has been waiting for months for her B-day. She wanted to go to Garcia's. When we got their she told everyone it was her Birthday. She kept asking when are you going to sing to me. Then the time arrived. She was embarrased and tried to hide under the table. We couldn't believe it. What the? She's such a goofball.

Happy Birthday Miss Marli

Look at me, me, me....I'm 3, 3, 3!!!!!


My baby is 3! Happy Birthday sweetheart!
