One Busy Month

It has been a while since I've taken the time to write down what has been going on in our lives. We have been super busy, and since I don't have a computer of my own, it's not as easy to jot down whats happening.
On the 6th Trevor and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary. Due to lack of money the day was just spent in the highschool gym watching Trevor coach basketball. Whether we could do anything fancy or not isn't really important, but I did think our anniversary should at least be acknowledged.Lots and lots of time has been spent watching basketball games, coaching, and practicing. This year we have had a lot of away games, so Trevor seems to be gone more than he is ever home.

The worst part of the month was almost 2 weeks ago when my Aunt Nanette passed away. It was just such a shock. I am still in disbelief. So unexpected. I have racked my brain just trying to remember if I ever told her I loved her. Did I ever say how much I appreciated her? I feel so lucky to have had her as an aunt. For the longest time when I was a kid she was my favorite aunt. She was always so fun. I don't think I even knew how awesome she was until she was gone. Thank you Nanette for always loving me. Thank you for telling me what a good mom I am and making me feel special. Most of all I wish I could tell you how much I admire you as a mother. The way your kids have turned out is a true testament to what kind of a person you are. Thank you for giving me my most favorite cousin and best friend, Julie.
This has been such a heartache on everyone, but it doesn't mean that life has stopped, or that we aren't still happy. Each day I spend with my little family I feel so lucky. What a good husband I have and what a sweet boy.

Brody reached a huge milestone on the 18th. He began crawling! Well, the belly can't quite get off the ground yet, so its more like a scoot, but either way he gets around pretty well. He loves getting into everything. Of course he has his own toys, but his favorite things are my phone, the remote, and playing cards.
I can't believe how quick he can get into things. I gave Brody an old set of face cards and when one would start to disenigrate from all the slobber I quickly would trade it for a new one, but apparently I wasn't quick enough the other day. While changing a poopy diaper I found something strange, and on closer inspection I discovered pieces of card! Sorry kiddo.

Yay for crawling!! That is so much fun. Even the scoot! So cute! Kyson always scooted forward neber backward..his head was to heavy! lol So sorry for your loss. That is so heartbreaking. I'm sure she knows how you feel about her and just think one day you will be able to hug her again.

Sounds like you've had an awful month, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. As Karissa said, she knows how much you loved her and thank goodness for the gospel and the knowledge you will get to see her again and remind her how you feel! I hope things look up for you, little Brody is so cute.

I have to agree with the two previous comments about the Gospel and our knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. I too am sorry for your loss.
It is good to read an update. I have been wondering how you were doing. I cannot believe how big Brody is getting! It seems to go so fast!! He is so adorable!

That card story still cracks me up. I'm sure it won't be the last time! Again, sorry to hear about your family.

Ha~ That's funny. One time I found a barrett sticking out of Brycie's bum. She had diareah (sp?) REALLY bad.... (hmmm....Wonder why). As I was cleaning her up, I found it and had to pull it the rest of the way out! I never even knew she swallowed it until then. It was one of those tiny little bendy clips. We all get a good kick out of that now.

By the way... So sorry about Nanette. What a beautiful service they had for her. I was also proud of Tyson & Cords talks... What good men they have turned into.

I'm so very sorry about your Aunt Nanette. She was always very nice, and as a kid I always just LOVED her hair!
Anyway, she'll be missed.

Oh NO!! LOL That's too funny. Kids eat anything and everything faster than we can ever imagine. I love that he is crawling now too. It happens so quickly!!
