Remembering Gian Carlos

Yesterday, April 25th, my cousin Gian (pronounced John) was killed in a car accident on his way to Mexico with his mom! I just wanted to post a picture of him and let everyone know what an amazing person he was. He was absolutely one of my favorite and closest cousins. He had the very best laid back personality and was so much fun to be around. He touched so many lives in his short 25 years here in this live and I know that he will continue to touch lives in the new work he has! I will miss you so much Gian! Thank you so much for everything and being such an amazing person! I love you! And to all my friends and family, please keep his family in your prayers as they are struggling so much right now! My Aunt Denuria was with him and she is in the hospital still in critical condition so just remember to keep them in your prayers.

Yay! I am so excited because we got our new computer finally and I can actually update my blog more than once a year! It has a slot that I can stick my memory card directly into, so no more going to Wal Mart and making a disc and all that fun stuff! Anyways, as you can see...Grant finally decided to start walking! No April fools this time. It hasn't been too crazy either because he was still into everything when he crawled. Now he just walks to get from point A to point B instead of crawls. It's so cute to see him walk! He seems so little to me still. I can't believe how fast they grow! Everyone warns you but you can't even comprehend it until it happens!

If you have a weak stomach, please do not look ahead!

Okay, I can't believe that I am actually posting this picture! It has got to be the scariest picture of me EVER! I just barely found it and it kind of makes me laugh because it doesn't look like I just had a baby, it looks like I volunteered for an all out WWE smackdown! The things we go through for our children! I pushed for TWO hours! Do you understande now why my face looks like a... I don't even know anything awful enough to compare it to! Anyways, back to my point, the things we go through for our kids but wow is it worth it! I love my little Grant soooo much and am soooo grateful for the joy and love he brings into my life! Even when he eats the dog food!

So, I was kind of disappointed to find out my body was only worth 5 g's when I kick the bucket! I haven't had any weird medical disorders or anything though, so I guess I can't be too disappointed. Also, on the bright side, less motive for someone to murder me, make it look like an accident, and sell my body for cash$$$!

Go Grant!!!

Guess what everyone, Grant finally decided to take the plunge and start walking! Yay!!!



JUST KIDDING!!! APRIL FOOLS!!!

Poor Norsey!!!

So I think I have officially out "idioted" myself. As you all know from previous posts I have a tendency to forget and lose things. Well, I went to Arizona with my family for Easter and had so much fun! I dropped little Norsey off in Price because I wasn't about to take a dog on a ten plus hour trip with me. Anyways...we got home from Arizona on Monday and I stayed one night in Price. I got ready to go Tuesday morning and headed out Tuesday afternoon for Wyoming. I got to Roosevelt, Utah where Nathan is currently working and we decided to have lunch together. It had been about two hours since I had left Price. In the middle of our lunch, I just about choked on my food and yelled out "oh my gosh, I forgot Elanor"!!! Sure enough, I called my mom and Elanor was there. What happened was, she had gotten out of my parents house when I was getting ready to leave and I just completely forgot about her. About an hour later, she showed up again at my parent's house scratching at the door! Needless to say she is on her way home right now and there was no harm done!

Wedding and Home Improvement

The Happy Couple!
My good friend Lara and I met up at the Olive Garden in Salt Lake.
Deanna's sister Melissa and her baby Ryker.
My pretty little Carli and Grant!
The rain took a toll on my hair!
One of our Families best friends, Deanna, was married last Saturday in Salt Lake City. My mom, me, Sam, Carli, and Grant all went down for the affair. It was so much fun. They had their reception in a banquet room at the Rodizio Grill. It was sooo good. I haven't ever been there before. That night they were serving things like buffalo and rattle snake. I tried the buffalo but just couldn't quite muster up the courage for rattle snake. I can't even eat ribs because something about knowing they are ribs just makes me want to die. We are so excited for Deanna also. Her new husband, Erick, is one of the most awesome, nicest guys I have ever met.




We have also done a few more things to our house. Nathan really wanted to get a flat screen t.v. downstairs, which is funny because we don't have cable or even an antenna. The thing with the t.v. was though, if we got the t.v. we would not be able to use our entertainment center so we would have to get a new one. So, as you can tell that's what ended up happening. I have to say I love the t.v. also. It's 55 inches. It makes watching movies a whole new experience. Nathan also insisted on those couches. They don't fit quite right down stairs but I think we have them rigged so they work pretty well and they are soooo comfy. We put in a new kitchen sink and faucet up stairs which I am totally in love with. It really does something for our little kitchen and bought a little "thing" for our living room upstairs. I am still not finished with any of these rooms, there is a lot I want to do still but I think they look pretty cute for now.
