Vacation

This past weekend the Steiner's were so great by letting my family spend a couple days at there lovely cabin! It was so nice to get out of the heat. We saw elk and a bear that wouldn't leave. It gave everyone a scare! We rode quad's, played cards, 4 square, kickball in the rain, and stayed up almost too late for me to handle! We had such a fun time and cant wait for the next vacation

The Morning of July 22

For the one anniversary since my dad passed. We all got together as a family and started out the morning with a lovely breakfast at Shauna's house! We made yummy thin pancakes than watch a slide show of my dad! Later on the kids went and played on Christy's slide. which everyone loved doing.. especially with it being so hot outside. We ended the day with getting balloons for the adults and the grand kids and had everyone write a message to "pa" than we released them! It was so neat and such a fun thing to do! I think will do that every year!

3 yrs!

On June 29,09 me and Joe celebrated our 3rd yr anniversary. It was so much to have a day to just spend with him. We got a hotel room out in Scottsdale at the orange tree resort. We went to the movie, dinner, and than ended the night with a gondola ride! I cant believe its already been 3 yrs.. Time flies by fast! Joe is such an amazing husband and father! I am one lucky girl!

One Year on July 22

Well Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary since my dad passed away. I still cant even believe that he is really gone. The past yr has been so hard not having him here. I don't really think it has gotten any easier. Maybe things would be different if only we had a chance to say goodbye! I miss him so much and think about him everyday! Tomorrow is going to be hard thinking about that day and having all those feelings come back. What i wouldn't give to have him here with us again! Life was so perfect with him here. I love you dad and miss you!


Quick update:
I haven't blogged forever or even posted pictures..We bought a house in mesa and were currently in the process of remodeling it. So when its all done i ll post before and after pictures. We have been living with the Steiner's and everything is packed up in boxes which is why i cant upload any pictures. But hopefully with in a week or so we can get settled in our new home! Other than that my pregnancy is going great! We have decided to name the new baby Grant which is after my dad s middle name! We are so excited for him to come. As for Tatum she is a little firecracker these days. That girl has more energy than anyone i know! She is getting so big and talks all the time. She loves saying hi to just about everyone. Her favorite things to do is swimming and taking baths! But its usually always a meltdown with her after you take her out and get her dressed!
