UPDATE!

Hello ALL! Finally I am updating. Goodness I am a slacker. I got my memory card to work and got my pictures uploaded, so here is my update!

CHRISTMAS happened. I am a lover of the Christmas season, but this year it was A OKAY it went by fast. I really loved my tree this year and didn’t want to take it down. I put everything away earlier than usual, but not the tree.We had fun going to Grandma Jo's Christmas party, spending time with Jess & Lindy and their kids and going to Kanab for a bit.

Before Christmas we got to help with Holiday Assistance and help people in need. It was such a great experience to help families get a Christmas and spend time with such great people! Above: Andreah, Amy, Steve (we miss you), Pam and I. Not pictured is Tay, he's taking the picture.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We had some good friends over (Amy, Doug, Braxton) and had some fun. We played games, ate food and best of all watched BACKSTREET BOYS and New Kids on the Block sing at Time Square! It was great and it took me back to the good ol’ days! For those of you who don’t know this about me I was obsessed with the Backstreet Boys… seriously it was almost a disorder. J I’m over it no worries.

BABYSITTING! Our new hobby is watching kids. We watch kids 5 days of the week and you know we love it. At first it was a little hard to get used to always having kids in our house, but now it’s all good. We love them all. We figured if we can’t have our own with us we might as well help others out and have them at ours. So, we are loving the experience of having so many kids at our home.

There is my handsome amazing husband! I love him so much and he loves that red dirt!

KANAB ADVENTURE! We took some new friends (Justin & Amy) to Kanab with us. You know to show them around and have them experience not the one stop light, but two stop light town. We had lots of fun. We went to Mouqi Cave (WE LOVE THE CHAMBERLAINS) and of course I got to buy stuff in the gift shop. We also had a mini tour of Best Friends! We ate at Lou’s which is a way good Chinese place and went on a walk in the Kanab beauty!

SERVICE & LEARNING CENTER! I love the center. It is one of the greatest jobs anyone could ever ask for. We had a retreat in St. George and had a lot of fun. It is a great experience to work with such amazing people. I look up to them all so much and love them all! Thanks for helping me and supporting me friends!

I've been trying to make dinner more and so Tayce my lovely husband bought me Food Network magazine and I LOVE IT! I've been trying to make things from scratch and it's been fun. We had our wonderful friends the Pollocks over to try some food and then had the Carling join us for dessert! What a blessing to have so many good friend. We love you all and you know who you are!

MOM’s BIRTHDAY: We took my mom to Milts for her birthday. None of us had ever been there and we figured it would be a fun adventure. Well, it was an adventure and unless someone else is paying for me and Tayce we don’t need to go again.

Well, there it is. We are staying busy and are thankful for it. LOVE YOU ALL!

There is more to come... someday

Well, I have some pictures to post and a few things to talk about, but I am having difficulties with my camera... so, it will have to wait a moment. Just know I haven't given up on my goal to post more then 3 times a year! :)

Graveside Services December 2, 2010

This was a day full of feelings that I pray I do not forget. It was a day that was full of pain, but also joy. Tay and I decided to do Alice's services differently then Graydin's. We wanted to be more open and let others join us in celebrating this beautiful baby girls life. We had such amazing support and love that it was possible and happened. On Thursday morning I got to sit at the mortuary and hold my sweet angel one last time in this mortal life and say a 'short' see you soon. We were able to put her in a blanket that I made and one that her cousins and Aunt Amy made (Which was beautiful). We went to the cemetery and had beautiful services that was I hope for all who was there full of the spirit. Tay's brothers were amazing (as usual) and helped us out so much. Alice's Grandmas gave the prayers that touched my heart and tears come to my eyes to know that this little angel has the best grandmas a little girl could ever ask for. We listened to some songs that had touched my heart and helped me as I prepared for this day. We listened to "Avery's Song" and "He'll Carry You". It was closure that we didn't feel with Graydin and it helped so much.

(I would feel bad not to tell you that Tayce was amazing. He is a spiritual giant and I feel so lucky that I would be blessed to call him mine. He dug the second grave of one of his children that day and dedicated the second resting spot. The spirit he had was so strong and it penetrated my heart. What an amazing father he is already and what a daddy's girl little Alice is forever. Thank you Tay for being who you are and treating me better then I ever deserve. I love you.)

I won't lie and say I'm all better and happy, I'm not. But, I will say that the spirit in our home is different the feelings of hope are strong and the spirit of family is over powering as we live on each day. There will not be a day I do not miss my sweet angels, but for whatever reason Alice chose to come and go and give us hope that we could continue a family with the knowledge that doctors can help get our children here safe and whatever children are waiting for us we know she is near. We thank her for what she has given us and I am sorry that she had to do it, but what a strong spirit she has.

We love you dear ALICE JOLENE and CHARLES GRAYDIN... God be with you and us till we meet again.

Alice's blanket.

Some pictures we put up at her service's. Thank you to the Linton's for always being there for us and helping us out.

Brenda took pictures for us and took some really good ones. That is my mom, Tay and I.

The flowers were done by Grandma Jo, they were perfect and matched her blanket. Her little box was made by Grandpa Heaton in Moccasin. Thank you to both of you we love and appreciate you.

Thank you to all of you who have loved and supported up, prayed for us and have been there for us. We love you and are eternally grateful to you and our Heavenly Father for blessing us with you. God bless you and Merry Christmas friends and family.
