As a little boy he was always so sweet and tender, very rarley do you see it 16 years later. He is such a huge help and every night he still kisses my forehead and says 'nite, I love ya'

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Brod!!!

I can see clearly now….

The kids always want to play with my glasses and I never let them because I don’t want the lenses scratched or the arms broken off. This time knowing I was getting them fixed Monday each of them got to try them on for a second. I guess it goes to show how blind I really am, none of them could see out of them and Drew looked like it hurt to try to see.

There will always be a hole...

Yesterday was dad’s birthday! Although it seems to be easier to make it through the days, some will always be harder than others! There is not a day goes by that I don’t miss my dad’s, his hugs, kisses, sayings and yes even his smells J! I am so very grateful that God has given me the strength to survive each day & everything life has thrown at me!

This Picture was 12 Days before he died- He just won his race & Kaylen was Congratulating him!

This is @ the Kootenai Falls in Montana after we spent the weekend in Kalispell.

My First Christmas (look how young my parents look :)

So sick....

of the cold! I can't wait till Spring, I am one of those life long North Idaho folk that HATES snow. I know it's hard to believe, but I can't stand it! It's wet, cold and such a pain in the butt (litterally, I fell atleast 3 times this winter). The warm weather is coming, just not soon enough! Alright enough whinning, off to bed I go!

(Can't wait till this view has no white stuff!! :)
