Olivia LOVES Grandma's. I am telling you if you look like you might be a Grandma she will like you. She loved spending time with Grandma D at Thanksgiving.

I just had to show you all that my child is awesome. :)

We love the Neilsens! What an amazing family we are blessed to know. Love them so much.

Just another day at our house. Olivia carries that stool around everywhere, just incase she's not tall enough.

We got a fresh tree this year. Riley really wanted a fresh tree, so Tayce picked us a tree and I put it up!

Happy birthday to our angel friend Kassie. It was her 9th birthday and we had a little celebration in memory of her and her sweet spirit. She has helped so many and we are grateful for her and her family.

Olivia and Jacob are buddies. Jacob comes over once in awhile and they are super cute together.

And there it is. Our Snow College tree. Riley has chosen to go to Snow and so we did a Snow tree for his "last" Christmas. :)

30 Before 30: Go to a New Place...

TROPIC

Well, this is a make up post. On November 15th my little family and I got to go and participate in a Pancreatic Cancer walk in memory of Susan Hansen (Ashley Pollock's Mother). 

Going was to support a wonderful friend, but as we got there I realized that it fulfilled November = Love for sure and it also fulfilled one of my 30 before 30 goals! Go to a new place! 

So all together it was awesome! 

So, even though it is December now, this was meant for November and so it will still be dedicated to Susan Hansen, a woman I never got the privilege of meeting, but I know of her goodness. I can see her goodness in her daughter every time I am with her. I know of the love Ashley has for her mother and only a terrific mother comes from that kind of love. To Susan and Ashley thank you for being woman of Christ and woman I can look up to. I love you both and I am excited for the day I get to give your sweet mother a hug and thank her in person for such an amazing friend. I love you Ash!

Good Friends

Make up post. :)

November = Love because of good friends. I have a lot of good friends who have done such amazing things this November. ( I apologize if I have missed a post) I am so grateful for them and for their love and support, it means the world to me that my sweet babies (children) are remembered and because of them there is good in the world.

This November = Love post is dedicated to the Fisher family. They put together blessing bags in memory of Graydin and Alice. What a wonderful text to receive during the week of their birthdays. It was such a heavenly hug to see the pictures below.
Christie was the one who reached out to me after Graydin died. I wouldn't talk to anyone about it and was trying to just get back to life. She told me her story and let Gibson (her son) be apart of my life. Thank you Christie for reaching out to a broken soul and being one of the people that walked with me on my long journey. Love you my friend and grateful for you support and love towards my children and I.

November 30th

Happy Birthday Charles Graydin

This may seem crazy to some, but I have been dreading this birthday for Graydin. I know that 6 isn't anything special, but for some reason having his birthday on Sunday, which is the day of the week he was actually born on seemed to bring back so many memories. So, it seemed as if I went through his day like a robot. Making sure I could get through the last day of the month. I feel awful about it really. 

Thankfully we got to spend time with family that day. And I really love the primary children I get to be around, they sure did make my day better. The whole CTR 5 class just makes me smile. All the 6 year old children in my neighborhood make me happy. I think about them playing with Graydin and them being in the same class at school and it makes me smile. It also makes me feel a little bit older that I should have a 6 year old running around my house. 

Well, mister Graydin is an amazing son. He is my strength and my rock in life. Anyone who doesn't think you can be close to someone who has passed on should just meet Graydin. He is my gaurdian angel and I am so grateful for him in my life. I am so grateful that I get to be the mom of such an amazing boy. What an honor. 

Happy birthday sweet boy! I hope your day was filled with love and parties. I hope that you and Kassie and Alice had 6 days of parties! I love you and you are forever mine my sweet boy. 

Love, Mom
