Grandma Heaven

We brought Brookie and Emma back from Missoula after Emma's baptism and two days later Honey brought Will and Janey. The first day they were here we made a list titled "Things We Want To Do". We got all of them done and a few more! Here is the list Emma and Brookie wrote and the pictures for proof.

1. Bake bread

2. Buy food

3. Look through Grandpa's books

4. Make jewelry

5. Pick raspberries

6. Yard work (It wasn't all play!)

7. Swim

8. Pack houses (We are getting ready to do the next phase of our remodel.)

9. Pack Santas (See above.)

10. Fix screen (Remember the one Christopher ran through last summer?)

11. Visit swans

12. Library (We needed to get additional copies of "The Spiderwick Chronicles.)

13. Watch movie (The kids picked "Where the Wild Things Are" - we wished we hadn't;))

14. Water slides (Roaring Springs water park)

15. Buy yarn (I am going to make ponchos for the girls.)

16 Postcards (To send to Dan who had to stay in Missoula and work.)

Our last Month in Winston Salem

Happy 28th Birthday to Carson!!

Isn't he precious? He is even more precious today. Love you son.

Happy Father's Day

I am so grateful to have the VERY BEST father in the world as the father to my children. (Although Dan and Chris are close runners up!)

Will turned 5

we went to Moab.
I love that place. there's something about it.

Brookies friends at school love Janey.

Will turned 5, the light sabers were a huge hit.

Gifts

We were given a special gift for three months. I went today to hear the little heart beat of our baby for the second time and found that our little baby had decided to go back up to be with our heavenly father. I am so grateful for this wonderful gift to have been able to carry this baby and be with it for such a short time. Even though we didn't get to meet it sure brought a lot of joy and happiness to our sweet family. I know God lives and loves each and everyone one of us. I know he has a plan and that with his mercy GREAT things are brought to pass. I am was truly blessed with this great experience. And will be sad and mourn its loss but know that its little heart was sick.

Moab

We headed to Moab for another fun time in southern Utah. The kids really love it and Honey and I enjoy the scenery, hiking, biking and restaurants. The flowers were in bloom. The temperature was just right and the only challenge was driving 12 hours and when Janey spiked a fever and she came down with hand, foot and mouth. She is doing well now. Hope everyone is doing well.
