So what a whirl wind the last two months have been... We welcomed an new little one into the family, just in time to see my grandma pass...The emotions have been crazy and the time has flown by... Ry is still doing his business and excelling at it.. he is so busy lately, that he's almost overwhelmed... but still loving it... I am in my last 30 DAYS of nursing school!!! Yeah :) so excited... the stress level is off the scales... between working, precepting, going to school and dr appointments I never stop... I can't wait for July 27th, when at least school is over :) Ry and I have grown so close in the last two years with all the hard times, I say hard times but I know its nothing compared to others, but to us we have struggled, he is so good to me and puts up with so much... We love each other more each day and grow everyday!!! Enjoy!!!

How far in the future will you go??? There are generations unborn whose lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take...
Grandma left behind a legacy... What an amazing family she has built!!!


The viewing was held on Sunday June 5th and what a rough one... wow!!! My grandma was such an amazing women!! So many memories of her and the family, she is so greatly and deeply missed... The funeral was on June 6th, the services were amazing, what a wonderful tribute to my grandma... She was laid to rest in Downey cemetery, where my grandpa can visit her everyday, he lives across the street... I know grandma had a wonderful reunion in Heaven and Heavenly Father had open arms, what a rejoicing reunion for her... we will miss you grandma, but until we meet again!!! p.s take care of my little ones, and send them to us soon :)



After arriving back in Utah we hustled up to Idaho for the viewing and funeral... Ry took me out to Lava one night, I needed a date night, I had been away from him for almost two weeks!!! We were able to stay with my grandpa, he was having such a hard time with grandma passing, after 58years of marriage what do you do??? It was such a rough emotional weekend... Ry was amazing, he helped out with the kids so much... while we tried to get everything ready and together he played and entertained the kids:) Jared and Jamie and the boys made it just in time too, it was so good to see everyone.. I forget sometimes how important family is... I have such an incredible family everyone is so strong and we all love each other so much... and we all have so much fun together!!






Just six days after Connor was born we got the news that our wonderful grandma had passed away... What a heart breaker... We love her so much and miss her.. So in the haste to make it home for the funeral, I had to get my ticket moved up and what a pain!!! Southwest SUCKS!!! thanks goodness I have a very patient kind husband who dealt with that :) Jodi also had to do some work... Connor was jaundice so we had to get permission for him to fly, he also was only 7days old when we flew to Salt lake, the airlines don't like babies to fly unless they are 14days old... but all worked out and we flew to Salt lake on June 3rd just in time to go to Idaho and spend time with family...
With Connor home.. Kara was unsure... but LOVED her baby brother!!!! Jodi was such a trooper... We went to the park and the zoo... They live in such a beautiful area where a lake is just a block away with a park, it was gorgeous.. so nice and peaceful what a wonderful break it was to get away... Connor wasn't a very good sleeper, he liked to be held and wouldn't sleep in his crib.. So aunt Lynnie will hold him!!!! I had such a wonderful time it was so much fun... Jodi and Curt have such a cute little family and it was fun to see them!!! Jodi is such an amazing sister, she is such a example to me and how I want my family to be!!! Shes an incredible mom who handles it all!! Your awesome Jo!!!




So I arrived in Indiana on tues. May 24th, just in time to see Jodi pregnant!!! I was so excited to go out and help with little Kara while she had baby Connor.. On wed. we did what we do best and went shopping only to be stuck in the mall with tornado sirens going off and we were herding to a corner to sit and wait... It was pretty scary.. Ya know how they always say "they only had seconds after hearing the sirens..." well thank goodness someone was watching out for us cause WE MADE IT!!! Jodi went into the hospital on Thur May 26th and had baby Connor that afternoon.. What a breeze of a delivery :) I got to stay home at Jodi's and watch little Kara... We had a blast... She kept me so busy :) Good thing she is a good napper, cause I am too :)
