On Our Way!

This Sunday Colin played in the playoffs against Hudson and smoked them in a mercy-ruled game! It was awesome and we are two games away from going to Florida for the championship. Go Vikings, I could really use a vacation!







Uncle Jimmy, Jack and Ty came. Plus Auntie Kelly and Shannon and our cousin Jeff and Ally.

When Billy's Mom died, my sister Erin found this poem for him and I have always thought it was very special.

THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And he knew that you would never get well on earth again.

He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes.
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.

When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.

You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.

I love you Dennis and miss you so much!

Teach Em' Young!

Brooke and Erin love to help me cook. Tonight we made brownies. I think Brooke thought it was a bowl of poop because all she said the whole time is "ewe" the same thing she says when we change her diaper or she smells something bad. I had to laugh, what can she be thinking???

Field Trip to Emery Farm!

Like Mother Like Daughter

Kelsey was babysitting and walked in and Erin was fixing Brooke's hair. How funny! What a good big sister.

Dennis

Our brother Dennis is truly an amazing person. I am astonished by the visitors and friends this guy has. I mean someone could only dream that there would be that many people concerned for them or who cared for them that much. He has so many friends and so many people that are out there praying for him and visiting him. I'm sure the nursing staff isn't as impressed as us but, it is unbelievable.

We were all sitting in the waiting room and pacing the halls for days. I mean there had to be thirty to forty people there every day. One day this big hairy, hippee type guy comes out of the bathroom. He says, "is this all for one guy"? That just sums Dennis up. He is liked by so many. He is such a fighter and thank God he is so stubborn. He is not going down without a fight.

Keep praying! So far it seems to be helping!

We love you Dennis!

Rah, Rah, Rah!

Brooke is getting big!

Well, Brooke had her 18 month appointment today. Thankfully it was smooth sailing and it was in and out without any crying or complications. She is now 24 lbs and 32 inches long. She is in the 50% for height and weight. My baby is growing so quickly. It feels like yesterday that she was just a tiny baby. I really can't believe she is really my last one. I am going to miss having a baby around the house!

My first and my last:(
