They Danced, Wiggled, Sang, and went Bye Bye

That is Isabella's description of the Wiggles concert to her Daddy last night.

Terri called me and asked if I wanted to go to a Wiggles concert with her and the kids. Of course, I said yes! We had a lot of fun even though the concert was right in the middle of nap time.

Thanks Terri for inviting us to the concert! We all had a blast!!

An Amazing Man


The Best

God saw you getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And wispered, "Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stoped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

Here is a collage of pictures from my Daddy's funeral. I thought I'd share a few things with those of you who weren't able to make it to the funeral. It was great to hear of all the nice things everyone had to say about my Daddy! He truly was an amazing man! I am so proud to call him my Dad and I miss him so much!

True Friends....

I just wanted to publicly thank my bestest friend for all the nice things that she always says to me. Whenever I am feeling down she seems to always know what to say and when to say it! It is amazing that when you go through tough times in your life you seem to find out who your true friends are! I am thankful to have some great friends. There is one in particular who I don't know what I'd do without her! You know who you are and I thank my Heavenly Father often for having you in my life!

I was taught something very important from that friend today. She started off wtih this great quote:

"My house is clean enough to be healthy, dirty enough
to be happy."
Then she went on with this story:
The house is a disaster and the kids are screaming and
playing outside. The husband is frantically going
from room to room looking for his wife thinking "she
must be sick." He walks into their bedroom and sees
his wife curled up on their bed reading a book. She
says, "How was your day?" He says, "Are you not
feeling well?" The wife says, "Well, you know how you
always ask me what I do all day, well today I didn't
do it?"


Husbands and "others" tend to forget or don't realize
that their is A LOT to raising kids and keeping the
family unit going.
I feel that sometimes there are people in my life who don't appreciate what I really do. I feel that with all the things that I do in my life that I do run myself thin in other areas but I try to keep up with what I feel is important at that time. I didn't realize that until I got this email. Thanks for reminding me of what is really important in my life!!!!

On the lighter side....




Since I have been gone so long I have a lot to catch up on!! The trip to "The Price is Right" was SO much fun. Even though I didn't get called up my friends husband, Jason Casper did. But, he was the last one up and he flaked!! =) But, he was sitting two people down from me and had to pass by me to get to the aisle. So, I will be famous for about 10 seconds! =) Here are some pictures from that day.

Oh and the day started off with a bang. Literally! My mom's tire in her car blew about 15 minutes into our trip. Thanks to my brother for coming and switching cars with us and thanks to Fred and Chad for changing the tire. They saved the day! =)

My Last Picture


Well, this is the last picture that I will ever take with my Daddy.

My Dad passed away on Friday, March 9, 2007 at 8:15am. I am thankful that I was able to be right by his side when he did pass.

This picture was taken when he was in the hospital at the beginning of that week. This was three days before he passed away.

The events of these past two weeks have been such a blur.

I miss my Daddy SO SO MUCH!!

Update on Daddy...

Well, on Wednesday my Dad was put into the hospital. We just found out that he has pnenomia. He is now on antibiotics and has been taken off of his chemo and was given two pints of blood because of malnutrition.

He is home know and only time will tell.

They don't plan on putting him on any more chemo and just letting him get over the pnenomia and finally feel better.

So, I will be spending every moment that I can in Bakersfield.

Please keep him in your prayers!
