11 Months and my Daddy

Today Olivia is 11 months old, I can't believe she is almost 1. She is walking along the couch but not yet on her own. Madalyn walked just after her first birthday, so we will have to see if Olivia does the same. Also on a not so happy note, my dad who is in Saudi had back surgery last Saturday and it took 10 hours when it was supposed to take 3. He was in the ICU and got a staff infection they believe from being in surgery far longer than they thought. He is in recovery doing better, but because the time difference and the distance it is hard on us kids over here. We feel helpless. So please keep my dad and my step mom in your prayers.

Halloween 2008

Finally!! Here are the pictures from Halloween. Madalyn was a "Coca-dot"(polka-dot) Princess, Olivia was a Tulip Fairy, and my Husband was Ricky Bobby. Jaxton was Spiderman, Skyler was Batman, Kayla was Belle, Triston was Optimus Prime, and Parker was Captain Jack Sparrow. We did lots of fun things throughout the week. We went to my nephew Parker's daycare party, Madalyn's preschool party, Our ward Trunk or treat, My mom's trunk or treat, and my mom's work.

Happy Halloween

Just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY HALLOWEEN. I have lots of pictures so I will be posting more later. I have been really busy, I started a part time job and I have not had to work(other than hair) for over 3 years now so my life is crazy. STUPID ECONOMY!!!!

Black Island Farms

On Monday we went to the Black Island farms in Syracuse. We wen t on a hayride and everyone got to pick out their own pumpkin. Then the kids got to play on the blow up pumpkin and all the slides. We had a fun time.

The Walk to Remember

Here are finally some pictures from the walk. Thank you to the clinton city youth council for blowing up over 400 balloons, and to Jessi Clark Funk for singing the song her husband wrote in memory of their baby. Although there was some rain , it was a wonderful and special event.

Walk to Remember

My friend Ali posted something about this and I thought I wanted to do it as well. Saturday will be Utah share's annual Walk to remember. I love being able to go this and walk in memory of Chloe. It is very healing and sad at the same time. Not that i don't think about her all the time but I feel like this day is just for her and all the other babies that have passed far to soon. I'm posting this to let anyone out there if you or you know someone that has lost a baby and would like to come and walk in memory of their baby, please do. It is at the Ed Kenley Ampitheater in Layton. Registration is at 9:30 and the walk will start at 10:00. I know it will be cold but i promise it is a very special ceremony and totally worth it. If you would like to come or have any questions, let me know.

10 Months. Where has the time gone?

Olivia is 10 months today and I can't believe how fast it has gone by. I remember stressing out so much and so scared that something would happen to her. Once you lose a child that fear of losing another is still there. She has been a great blessing in our lives. We love you Livi!!!
