Does this look like the face of an angel? We love Camden so much she keeps us on our toes and brings so much joy to our lives (and work and patience). This is what happens when mom gets too distracted with things other than Cami. My makeup bag is a disaster waiting to happen when left out on the bathroom sink. I don't know why she was putting it on in the center of her eyes I have yet to put it there myself?! Maybe she didn't want to poke her eye out, good thinking Cami. Mom loves you, my little angel!

Jackson Hole, WY

We took the kids, minus Camden, skiing in Jackson Hole the other week. Macy and Easton loved it. The day was so warm, my kind of skiing, Macy skied half the day without gloves.

They got really comfortable with their abilities by the end of the day. Easton went off a jump came loose from his bindings and flew about 8 feet and knocked the wind out of himself. It took him a minute, with Brandon's encouragement, to get him to catch his breath. The first words he said was "I'm done skiing today dad." We skied to the bottom thinking we were done and he skied back into the lift line, he wanted to keep going. That's my BOY!

I was so happy they had such a good time. We will be back again, next year. For now I just want to see spring flowers and warm sunny days! :-)

Macy's Baptism Day!

Macy turned eight and was baptized this past Saturday. It was a beautiful day and Macy was so excited. I am so proud of her and she is such a good example for her younger brother and sister. We had a great big family party afterward to celebrate. She has such a sweet spirit and she will grow to be a beautiful you lady and I am proud to be her mom. We love you Macy!

Happy Birthday Cami!

Our baby turned 2 on February 1st. Bring on the terrible twos' and potty training! Yeah!

She already thinks she's the boss, so not much will change is the dynamics of our home with having a (now) two year old.

Before we gave her the spoon. I guess we weren't fast enough.

"Finally a shovel!"

She really liked the present part. She had a great day for a two year old.

Happy Birthday

We have had birthdays galore at our house. First was Mr. B's then came Easton's then Mom Conklin was visiting from PA for Christmas and we got to celebrate with her and then came Macy's. We had four birthday cakes in one month. I am seriously looking forward to warmer weather to start running outside again. (Although my die hard friend Kariesa has gotten me out, but only about 2-3 times a week and most of the time it is only 2.) We didn't go this week yet because it is only about 4 degrees outside and I don't want my face to freeze and fall off :-) We have one more birthday to go Little Miss Camden turns two on February 1st. I will try to get better about keeping up on my blogging (ok Angie Love Ya).

Remembering Our Mom

It has been a long time since our last post. Our family had a huge loss, as some of you already know. On November 7th Brandon's mom Yvonne passed away from cancer. We found out 2 and 1/2 years ago she had a form of lung cancer. She suffered a long time and she was a trooper through it all. Although, we knew her cancer was terminal (stage four) it was the hardest day as we stood around her hospital bed and the doctors turned off the machines that had supported her life for the previous two days. Brandon's dad and all her boys and wives were at her bedside. It was very emotional and too surreal. We miss her so much. Everyday it feels like we relive that moment and it again becomes reality that she has passed. She use to call me in the mornings, if the phone rang before 8:00 am I knew it was her. I use to get frustrated when the phone calls would wake me up, now I lie awake some mornings wishing my phone would ring and all that had happened was just a dream. Life has certainly been different for our family and especially for Brandon's dad. But, we hold tight to our beliefs. We know she is working hard on the other side and we will again be together as a family and live together forever. Until then we hold tight to all the memories we shared with her. You can check out a video done in memory of her at woodfuneralhome.com, go to the obituaries and scroll down to her name and click on it. Again we appreciated every ones words of support and we are grateful for having such a great circle of family and friends. Thank you all.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween came fast for us since we were gone the week before. But, the kids had their costumes and they were ready to get some serious candy. Thank goodness I work for a dentist.

Camden was our pumpkin who would not take her picture with the skeleton (Easton). She would cry every time she would get by him with his mask on...it was a fun night.

Easton and Macy. Macy said, "This is the best Halloween ever."

The two cute little fairies in the picture are my sister Kristy's girls (Maddie and Karlie). She made their costumes, they were soo cute!
