so much love

We had the most amazing weekend ever.

Seriously, it could not have been better.

Korin met us up at the Temple after Gage's sealing and then traveled down to attend Gage's blessing. It was so great to see her. I have missed her so much. What a perfect weekend.

I have more to say, but for now I will leave you with a few pictures. (can you believe we didn't even take any after the temple. It was so cold, windy and rainy. Freezing!)

we are an eternal family

dear baby girl

I can't believe it's been 6 years.

Every once in awhile we still have a hard day and wonder why you had to leave us so early.

Knowing you are okay makes us happy. We only want you to be happy.

We miss you, but our heartache has lessened over the years. That doesn't mean we don't love you just as much. It just means that our hearts are healing. 

We can finally think about you and celebrate your short life and appreciate the experiences with joy instead of tears.

This last 6 months with your baby brother have been hard on us in a way. As we watch him go through stages and milestones, we wonder what it would have been like to watch you grow and learn. We wonder if you would laugh and giggle when we make silly faces at you or tickle your back. If you would be a petite little girl and actually fit into your 6 month clothes when you were 6 months old. If you would make squirmy faces when we give you vitamins. If you would be a snuggly baby and let your mom give you hugs and kisses, unlike your brother. 

Today on this special day, we are going to take your little brother to the temple to be sealed to our eternal family. What an amazing day to think of you and to celebrate both of our beautiful children. 

We love you and can't wait to be with you again. 

Love, 

Mom, Dad and Gage

p.s. You have the cutest baby brother ever. I can't wait to see you together someday. He is lucky to have a beautiful big sister like you. 

we have a goofy boy

This morning I had a dream that it was next Saturday and I had just woke up to discover that I had yet to get anything ready for the event. I guess I better start preparing. :)

r-r-r-random!

Things have been going well for Dustyn and I. Poor Dustyn has been quite sick lately. He has a doctors appointment today. I hope that they figure something out and get him back on to the road to health soon!

On a good note: Dustyn finally finished the yearbook! YAY! I know that will relieve a LOT of stress. Hopefully that will help him get better quicker as well.

We were able to go up the the Mt. Timpanogos Temple and attend Brandon and JaKell's sealing. It was a great experience and I was happy that we were able to go. The Temple was beautiful and peaceful! Dustyn was able to take some photos of Brandon and JaKell and family. We haven't downloaded them yet, but I am excited to see how they turned out. Dustyn had to get yearbook done before he could get to them. Dang responsibilities.

On Saturday night we went to the Desert Star Theater and watch Home School Musical. It was hilarious and I would totally recommend it to anyone. We love it. It was my first play at the Desert Star and I can guarantee it won't be the last. I am seriously tempted to get season passes next year. I really enjoyed it! Another random thing happened while we were there... They read birthdays of everyone there and sing a song for the them! One of the birthdays that they read was my Uncle Sheldon. (This was after the play was over) I would have never known he was there unless his name was read. They were on the very front row, so I ran down and said Hello! It was quite funny! And random!

I am SO ready for spring! Mostly just because I am itching to go camping! I can't wait for our weekly outings. It is for sure my most favorite part about summer. Otherwise I wouldn't mind the snow.

I am in the weirdest blogging mood lately. I want to blog, but I just don't want to! Ha ha! I am sorry I have not been reading/commenting on anyones blogs. I hope to get back into the swing of things soon. Maybe life will slow down a little and I will take time to blog.

Speaking of blogging and my last post (well... not the last one, but the Paying it Forward one) I have something coming together.. I will get it to you within the next little while. I am excited to see what you think! (As long as it goes how I want it to). If you are still interested in getting in on the action... leave me a comment and I will see what I can do.

Umm... that is all for now. :)
