Each day is a gift

A series of events have taken place recently that has made me "stop & smell the roses", as my sis Heidi would say. Some things big, some things small, some are just little moments that stop me in my tracks. None the less, I'm not one that welcomes change. In fact, I hate change-I admit. But change makes us grow, learn and often times makes us more appreciative of each day that is given to us.

It wasn't too long ago that we were in Mexico with this cute guy (Grandpa Dea) and I put his snorkeling mask on so tight that he looked crazy (as you can see) but also gave him a headache the size of Texas.

We lounged on the beach eating chips and salsa.

We played together...


Made new friends together...


Had a few DC's together...

Even did water aerobics together...

Things changed today for him (& us). Life as he knows it is different now. Oh-how these memories are a gift!

This girl melts me!

"REFRESH"

Ya know that "refresh" button on our computers that we can push to bring us back up to speed? Well, I've decided to hit that button with the blogging. I've been waiting for endless hours to be on my hands so that I can patiently scrapbook (hopefully digitally) and preserve our precious moments and events. Since life hasn't offered me those endless hours yet I have resolved to at least blog some of our sweet memories so that not one will sneak by us. Just in the last few weeks we have a wonderful and life changing things take place, in which I will begin there.


Rylee began her 3rd grade year and is loving it! Boston has started Kindergarten and is loving it as well. Although, I got a note in his bag the other day with a baggie full of papers. The note read; We found this homework in the corner of our classroom, we aren't sure why it hasn't made it home. When we asked Boston why he hasn't taken it home he replied that... "he don't do homework". Lovely!


Rylee was baptized this month! She looked beautiful in her white. Special day! Rylee has so many incredible people who support and love her. It was wonderful to share this special day with those we love!



We went to Incredible Pizza for some dinner, rides and celebrating. We had a great time playing together.
