Kissy's 2nd

For Kissy's 2nd birthday we did the Elmo theme. He LOVES Elmo! Kissy is probably the cutest little man ever! He has such a funny personality and we just love him like crazy.

He is talking very well and keeps us on our toes!

Kailee 6 months!

These are just some snap shots from Kailee at months! I will post her stats after I take her to the doctor! But isn't she adorable?!

Grandpa Grey

On January 21st we got a phone call from White Grandma saying that Grandpa Grey wasn't doing very good and wasn't expected to live very much longer. We called up my mom at school and had her come home and stay with the older kids so we could head up to Ogden. We got there that night and Chris and his cousin Brian were able to give Grandpa a blessing, more to comfort his kids than anything. On Saturday morning we all headed back to the place where they are living and nurses kept thinking it could be any minute. Thankfully, by many miracles, all the family was able to come and say their goodbye's with him unconscious, but we believe, still able to hear. The hardest thing was watching Grandma begging her husband of 71 years to stay just a little while longer, she didn't want him to go without her.

Grandpa just kept holding on and we all just couldn't figure out why. Everyone had told him that it was ok to go and that Grandma would be taken care of. Grandma even told him it was ok. Then finally on Tuesday (January 25th) all the 4 kids said a prayer to help us know what to do to help him feel ok with passing. So we all decided it would be nice to sing a few hymns... and that's what Grandpa wanted. We first sang There is Sunshine in my Soul Today then Be still My Soul and during that song his breathing changed, we all knew it was getting close. We all were standing around his bed then sang Families can be Together Forever and he opened his eyes and a tear fell from his right eye (his eyes hadn't opened at all that day, even during a sponge bath and throwing up) then we sang God Be With You Til We Meet Again and that's when he went. It was probably one of the most spiritual experiences I've ever had. Right after Grandma realized that he was gone she wanted Kailee to give him a kiss, it was the sweetest moment. Grandma and pretty much everyone loved having Kailee there. She was really good the whole time and kinda kept everyone's spirits up. I'm so glad that we were able to be up there and visit family and be there for Carolyn. This is Chris' first Grandparent to pass on so it was a little hard on him, but I was glad to be there for him. The Graveside service was in Panaca on January 28th and it was perfect!

Disney on Ice

My sister from another mister, aka Shelley Adams hooked us up for Disney on Ice. She was able to get her in-laws box and we all had a ton of fun! Us adults enjoyed it just as much if not more than the girls!

BSU vs. Utes

We were soooo sad when the Broncos lost to Nevada, but it made it so they came to Vegas to play in the Macco Bowl. We had a TON of fun. It was so cool to be surrounded by a whole bunch of people just as crazy about the Broncos as us!

The one and only, Kellen Moore!!

Christmas 2010

Uncle Bob came for Christmas this year and we were all very excited to see him! He was our photographer while the kids opened their gifts so we had like a gazillion!! Anyway we got away without the kids to see a movie and had a shrimp boil so it was an awesome Christmas!!

White Grandma's Christmas 2010

These posts are going to be a little out of order because I still need to get some pictures off my laptop, but because we weren't going to be able to be with White Grandma for Christmas we decided to head up the weekend before! As always we had a great time. Carolyn put on a little Christmas party with lots of food and presents for the kiddos! Aunt Bonnie, Leslie and her little boy were able to join us, so that was fun to hang out with them too! We of course had to take advantage of the snow and have a snowball fight and make a snowman. The kids were in heaven!! We also went and visited Grandma and Grandpa Grey, which we are SOOO glad we were able to because Grandpa Grey headed to Heaven on January 25th (that post coming up).
