Going Private!!!!

Well.... this makes me sad but we need to go private. I just feel that blog's should be for people that love you and want to keep up with your family. I also am just doing the blog thing because I want to keep a journal of my kids due to the fact that I don't have time to scrapbook. I love the idea of turning the blog into book. I also like that I can keep in contact with all my friends. So if you want to contiune to check up on my family please leave me your email. Thanks!

Jeff and Brynn

I just have to tell my brother Jeff thanks for being so great to my kids. He has lived with us for over a year now and we love having him around. He has been through so much these past two years and I just hope and pray that he can move on and have the best life that he deserves. We have loved having his kids every other weekend. They are so special and fun to be with!! Jaylynn just adores all of them and so do we!

Wow..... we had a different Easter!!! Can we all say, "Why was it raining." We were all very upset about the weather and were sad that going to the desert was out of the question. We love our desert trips with riding Four-wheelers. But there is always next year!

I have to say thanks to Val and Cheryl for always making our holidays great and never forgetting about us!! We love you!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

If Ben knew I was putting a picture of him up on my blog he would just die but I wanting to add a little story about Jaylynn. I always try to make Ben feel special on his birthday (even though he acts like it is no big deal and I don't need to do anything) and this year I think Jaylynn won his heart. I asked her what she wanted to get daddy on his birthday. She thought for a moment and then added an ALMOND JOY. I asked her well what else.... she said, "that's it, daddy loves sharing almond joys with me." Story behind this.... She started loving Almond Joy's when my mom was alive and Ben has carried out the tradition and brings her to Home Depot and that's what they do together. It's the simple things that you love!! (My mom would love it!!)

MY GIRLS

I just wanted to post some pictures of my beautiful girls! I really don't know what I would do without them! Losing my mom was the worst thing that has happened to me. But having my girls helps me get through life because I see so much of my mom in them. My little Brynn lives up to her name( Brynn JOY) she is my mom. Sometimes it scares us because she really is a so much like my mom. I love teaching them about her and what a wonderful person she was. My goal is to make sure my kids know there grandmother and know what an amazing person she was!!


We always bring flowers to Grandma's grave!
