Being Grammy

Its so fun to be Grammy. Well, this week my name is Grammy. Last time it was Grandma Kongie. Either way, its just plain funny. I love to being Grammy. Its so fun. What could be more fun than baths, kisses night night through the railing spindles, tea parties, bedtime stories, and snuggles in the morning? Not to mention all the other fun and funny stuff!
And another thing that is so so cool.... Jackson is obsessed with the vacuum. I love it because I benefit from it. I get my floors vacuumed every day. I hope he never outgrows this obsession. Its great!!

I HATE SPIDERS

So...... the other night I was getting ready for bed and I pulled the covers back and it seemed like a spider jumped out at me. I screamed and pulled the covers back up so I could run get a tissue. I got my tissue and ran back to the bed and slowly pulled back the sheets to find this spider. It was big and scared me. With a closer look, I realized it was a plastic spider. Amanda had put it there because she wanted to tick me off or something. Can we say Paybacks?

Cracks me up!

Today while I was looking for something in the garage I ran across this note on Rachel's bike. Of course I had seen it before, but it just cracked me up again. She is just funny.

Recent favorite

You gotta check out this new favorite spot of mine and Amanda's. Its not frozen yogurt like Cold Stone. This stuff is healthy and good for you. It tastes more like real yogurt but better. I don't love yogurt, but I really do like this stuff!
Check it out when you are in the area! YUM

2 Years Today

So today is 2 years to the day that Chad went on his mission. I have been thinking about him so much lately and just wondering, What if. I know..... that is dumb, but you can't help but wonder. I can't help but think what that reunion might have been like. Or what may have happened in the future. It still breaks my heart and we miss him so darn much. We have lots of good memories though and it comforts us.
This is the car that Chad wanted so so bad when he got home.
From what I heard, he really loved this little old man without legs. It would have been fun to know the stories behind all the pictures.
This is one of my most favorite pictures of Chad. It was taken shortly before he passed.

We took some balloons to the cemetary with some notes attached. Maybe hoping the wind would whisk them up to heaven and he could read them and know how proud of him we are and how much we miss him. Rachel had put these little army men at the base of the grave before she left... she said they were protecting him.

We miss you Chad and will never ever forget you!!

Healing Field

If you have not seen this, you should try to go see it before they take the flags down on Sept 15. Its in Sandy City by City Hall. You can write a letter to some of the troops. It is a pretty neat display and makes you reflect on Sept 11 and on how great this country is and how appreciative we should be to live here. Also, how much the troops are doing to keep this country free!

Feeling Sad

So, this is how I am feeling since my Kenyan kids went home yesterday! It was so sad to see them leave. I cannot believe how much they brought to our lives. Having met them, we just won't be the same. Hopefully, we will see them again someday. In the meantime, our hearts are sad that they have gone.
