We will miss you!!

It is our Heavenly Father's turn to watch over our grandma and mom, Leslie. She passed away peacefully on Sunday morning with the love of her life at her side. Throughout the past week our family has been blessed with such a strong spirit knowing that our time with her on this earth was coming to an end.

In Lexi's words, "Grandma Leslie is walking with our Heavenly Father today, holding Jesus' hand. I think she's all better now."

Although we miss her deeply we know that she is at peace now and no longer in pain. Leslie can now watch over us and take care of us in ways she couldn't here on this earth. Such a blessing to know she can now hold her youngest daughter, Amelia, and rejoin her dad and many other loved ones who have been waiting for her with open arms.

Goodbye for now, we love you and miss you but know our Heavenly Father must have some very important work for you to do to be taking you home now.

Colbie Callait Concert

In the wake of all that has been going on in our family we are very lucky to be celebrating Shelby's 8th birthday. A couple of things she asked for: a toe ring, mentos, a calculator and the chance to go watch one of her favorite singers, Colbie Callait. Well lucky for her Colbie was making a stop right here in Pocatello!! So what did we do...honor her wish!

Shelby, Matt and I had such a blast!! We were able to go with a few of her aunts on Matt's side of the family and even an uncle. Susan, Annabeth, Joanne and Jeff went along for the ride. Jeff even gave her a couple of dance move lessons.
