...4 years...

Happy Anniversary to my husband, best friend and love of my life. 4 years ago I married the "man of my dreams" Although, we have had some major major hardships and road bumps in our marriage, I still know that I love him and he is still that person that makes me the happiest, maddest, silliest, angriest, funniest, smiliest, grumpiest. I love you Nate and thanks for the last 4 years and look forward to many many more.

4 years ago today was the best and worst day of my life. I married my best friend and lost my other. Grandma I want you to know that not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I miss you so much and wish that Brooklyn would have been able to meet you. You were the most amazing women I have ever known and I will always look up to you, and cherish all the times we had together. My whole life I always thought that my children would be as close to you as I was, and I am slowly realizing each day still, that won't ever happen. I know you are in a mcuh better place but, I wish you were still here with us. I love you and miss you Grandma Kay

Barnum and Bailey FUNDRUM


Today we took Brooklyn to the Circus!! It was the first time she has ever been to the circus (other than her cousins school circus) We went a little early and she was able to meet some of the clowns and get really close to the elephants. She loved it, She was afraid of the guys on the stilts though and started freaking out when we walked through one of there legs, we got to try on some of the performers clothes, get a tattoo, and watch some silly acts up close.
I think Brooklyn's favorite part of the circus was the tight rope walkers at first then she got bored and the elpehants, she was just excited about the whole thing.
We had lots of fun and I am sure she will be talking about it for days!!

Happy Birthday Nathan

Happy Birthday NATE!! He is 27 this year, wow are we getting old. For Nate's birthday he had to work, but after he got off he wanted me to make him Spagetti, so that is what he got. Brooklyn had picked him out a basketball, and I had gotten him a new Basketball HOOP! He had been looking at these everytime we went to Wal-mart, so I couldn't resist. I hope he loves it and I hope he can teach Brooklyn how to play some basketball, I am sure we will have so much fun with it. Thanks Ryan for helping make this possible(he picked it up for me)

Baby Kaylee Blessing

Today Kaylee was blessed. She looked absolutely beautiful and you could really feel the spirit so strongly at her blessing. Grandpa Randy did and amazing job, while we were sitting there Brooklyn got a little anxi (she doesn't go to church much) but we walked around the halls for the rest of sacrament and I enjoyed explaining about the pictures of Christ to her and that we needed to be reverant. She did very well and walked with her arms folded, she loved to sing when it was time and I was most proud of her at the end when she knew and said soemthing about another child not being reverant in heavenly fathers house.
After the blessing we all went to Curtis and Windy's house for a luncheon, Windy did an amazing job, and we really enojoyed spending the day with them. Brooklyn and I had picked out a sweet little white beeded bracelet to give Kaylee for her blessing, it was perfect.
Congratulation Kaylee

MONTANA 2010

Our annual trip to Montana, this year we didn't go up when everyone else went up but we did go, Brooklyn and I was planning on leaving a Saturday afternoon and I would come home Wednesday and she would come home the next Friday when Nate and I would both go get her, well that's not how it ended up turning out Nate wanted to go and was really sad that we were leaving him, so last minute 7:00pm Friday night, I hurried and packed all our bags, and we left by 8pm. I got Nate a flight from West Yellowstone and we all drove up spent Saturday all together, Sunday went to Yellowstone Park (which was fun since Nate and Brooklyn hadn't ever been, and I hadn't forever) and spent the day with Shianne, Brayden, and Easton. Then that evening Nate flew home so he could be back to work, I stayed until Wednesday and then came home. Brooklyn got to stay with Aunt Shanny and Uncle Tody for 10days she had a lot of fun, but I think day 7-10 she was really home sick. I missed her like crazy and was grateful I work 8 12 hour shifts in a row while she was gone so I didn't have much time to miss her to much more. We met my mom and Ron in Idaho Falls and stayed Friday night there with them, we all went out and enjoyed some dinner, and swimming. The next day we went to the Idaho Falls Temple (one of my favorite temples) and walked the grounds and then walked around Idaho Falls for awhile, we then went on our next adventure, we went to Soda Springs, ID where my Dad and Mary are staying and spent the night with them, had some good steak sandwiches, seen Lava HotSprings, and enjoyed our time together. Sunday morning we woke up early and headed home, but the adventure doesn't end there...
