Daddy's Day Off

So we actually found our dad/husband had a day off last week. The kids planned the whole day. It involved . .

The Zoo

an amusement park

and lots of Loves!

Prayer

We were talking about prayer tonight as I was getting the kids in bed and Ashelyn wasn't too happy that Teagan wasn't folding his arms during her prayer.

I explained babies can't fold their arms. Then she informed me that they can. They can put their hands together. Well, this is how I found her after she fell asleep.

I love this girl!

Heaven

Lots of good memories have gone through my head these past couple of weeks since I found out my grandpa Mitchell had acute Leukemia. I don't remember one bad memory about this grandpa who lovingly invited my family and I over every Sunday evening to enjoy being around loved ones. This past year hasn't been the best for him, but he kept on smiling through it all.

This picture reminds me of how happy he always was. This is him (and my grandma who loving stayed by his side these past four hard weeks) just relaxing in his dining room, in a hospital bed, with family all around him.

Well now he doesn't have to suffer any longer. He is just smiling at me from Heaven.

Love you Grandpa!

Opposing sides

As if we didn't have enough contention in our house, Quin had to dress these kids up in opposing Super Bowl team jerseys today!

Treydon was not too happy his team lost:(

Utah Trip

We unexpectedly took a trip to Utah this past week. My Grandpa Mitchell was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia and not given much longer to grace us with his presence here on earth. So without asking Quin what he wanted to do during his only vacation week for months (sorry honey), I packed the family up and we skedaddled.

I got to see my cousin Ali whom I haven't seen in so long. These handsome boys are only one day apart!
