Chase

My cute little man climbing the neighbor's tree, on the only sunny day we've had this year!

Cambria

At the hospital, just a few minutes old.

At home 8 days old.

I am having so much fun with Cambria, she is such a snuggly baby. It was a hard pregnancy, but having her here now it was totally worth every minute of it!!!

It's a GIRL!!!

A Year...

Dad,

It has been a very long and painful year. I still

want to call and get advise, or call and BS about the day.

If I could have one more conversation with you,

I would tell you that I am so lucky to have been

your daughter, I appreciate your sacrifice in

providing for our family, and I love that you

taught your daughters to be tough.

I love that you taught us to be independent,

strong willed, and always made us fell beautiful the way we are.

(Make up was not necessary or allowed in our family)

I would thank you for giving Joe a rash of crap while we were dating,

It has made him work harder to take care of me!

I miss you everyday, and hate that you are not here to take care of me.

I miss grocery shopping with you, and the times we would sit and talk in the car.

I loved going to work with you, goofing around in your office and then going

to lunch with you. (Tio Leo's was a fav.)

Thanks dad for always loving me no matter how much I drove you nuts.

I would tell you that I hate doctors as much as you do,

they don't know SH%&, and hospitals nurses are even worse!

Not one of them was able to make it in the circle of trust! : )

Then I would tell you that I am pissed you never came to see me

in Washington. Not that I blame you, I wouldn't want to leave the sun either.

The rain sucks!

Thanks for making us fans of the Padres and the Chargers.

Games were so fun with you....food, candy, souvenirs! It is not the

same without you.

Maybe you didn't like joe because he was a Dodgers fan....I agree

there is nothing worse than a dodgers or raiders fan!

I understand now!

More than anything else, I want you to know that I love you.

My world has not been the same with you not here, it never will be!

Thanks for being you!

I also need to thank my sisters, they are the only reason

I survived this last year, and the only reason I will make it

through the next.

Strong willed, sassy, bold, fun, stubborn, independent, etc., etc.,

all the things that dad would be proud of.

I love you sexy b^%ches!

Bountiful Baskets!!

I just picked up my first basket of fruits and veggies from a non-profit organization, www.bountifulbaskets.org/. I am in the process of getting set up to hosting a site here in Maple Valley. The best part is the cost....$15.00

John Denver

I love this song....

Happy Birthday to you!

Today is Chase's 4th Birthday! I cannot believe my baby is four...here are some pictures from the last four years.

My baby Sis.

I am related to Cindy-Lou-Who! My sister was in a skit for her ward party... I don't have enough hairspray to pull off a hair-do like that.

Old Pictures

I was going through some old pictures and came across these....

My dishwasher broke this week and I actually dialed my dad's work number to ask him how to fix it! Crap I miss him, he could fix anything including me and my little attitude :)

A New Nephew!!

Ezekiel Norven Dyer was born on Aug 28th.

I can't wait to hold and kiss on him....

Congrats Cherisse & Austin, he is a cutie!

The stats 5 lbs 13oz 19"
