Heartache

This is one of my best friends Pam (I call her PJ) and her husband Anthony. They are two of the happiest, most wonderful people. They have 3 adorable boys, then in November they had........ a beautiful, precious baby girl who they named Felicity. They were so excited to finally have a baby girl! Felicity returned home to her Heavenly Father, suddenly, this last Thursday. We were able to attend the funeral yesterday and I was in awe of how in her short 4 month life, she left such an impression on so many people. What a special spirit she is. (She would have to be to have parents like Pam and Anthony....they are awesome!!) We don't know why we are given the trials we are and what we are to learn from them. I think this would be one of the hardest trials to bear.....losing a precious child. My heart is breaking for my dear friends. I love them SO much and hope they are finding the peace they need. Pam had the greatest quote on the program for the Funeral service, it says.......
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened".
I think this totally encompasses Pam and Anthony. It is going to be a long, hard, heartbraking road ahead, but in the end they will be smiling because Felicity happened and has blessed their lives and will continue to. That is just the wonderful type of people they are.
I love you, PJ, and admire you so much!

Want To Play Amazing Race?

Those that watch the Amazing Race will appreciate this post.
Colby and I love to watch the Amazing Race together. Yesterday we had my nephew, Landon, over. I was in the bathroom cleaning and heard the boys playing in the kitchen. And this is what I heard:
The boys running around and then, Colby would say, "Landon, congratulations you are team number 1." and then, "Carson, I am sorry you are the last team to arrive." and he continued on with this depending on who approached him first.
I couldn't help but laugh! Watch out host Phil, Colby could be after your job!

I'm Not Lucky.....

I AM BLESSED!
We did a little St. Patty's Day celebrating.
The day started off with a visit from the Lucky Leprechaun who left some treats in the boys' shoes.


We then had green oatmeal. Which the boys didn't eat very much of. I don't blame them, it looked pretty gross! :0) I was so bummed because I was planning to give them Lucky Charms and totally forgot about it!

The they had shamrock shaped sandwiches for lunch.
And then for dessert we had a shamrock cake.





And how blessed am I to have these 3 sweet and adorable boys....


and this handsome, AWESOME husband?!
I am not lucky.....I am tremendously blessed!

Kindergarten, Here He Comes!

Well, I signed up Colby, today, for Kindergarten. He asked me if he gets to start school tomorrow. He is that excited. Luckily I still have 5 more months to prepare myself to send him off to Elementary school.


Why can't this handsome boy.......


stay like this forever? *sigh*

Quality Time With My Hubby

Friday, Nate and I were able to go out on such a great date! I am so bummed I forgot my camera....so I will have to use substitute pictures!

We started off riding the scooters to......

play some tennis.


We then had some dinner,
and a movie.

We were able to go out carefree and not stress about getting back at a certain time. It was seriously so GREAT!!! THANK YOU Chad and Abbi for spending time with our boys so Nate and I could have some re-connecting time...just the two of us!
