The rest of 2009


So there was a lot that happened in 2009. A lot of change and a lot of heart break for me and maybe that is why I lost the steam to keep up with my blog. but here it is.




In August I got to go to Utah for a visit because my parents had some plane tickets that were going to expire. So that is what I did for my 29th birthday. Which was the best gift ever because it was actually the last time I got to give my dad a big hug and tell him I loved him to his face. I got to spend the entire time with my mom and dad. That was a treat because my other visits to Utah were spent visiting everyone else too.

While we were there my Dad mowed his Lawn everyday. He loved his riding lawn mower.


Brady playing in the driveway while Grandpa mowed the lawn.



When I returned home to New Hampshire, Jeff's Dad called and said he had some work for him. Jeff's Dad had been sick from an abscessed tooth and needed some help to complete the order so, he flew to Utah for a couple of weeks. while me and the boys stayed home.




While Jeff was away in Utah we lost a very close friend and Neighbor. He was doing yard work in his front yard and fell from a ladder. Mike/ "Neighbor" was a really special guy and we all loved him a lot. He was always there for all the fun stuff and he was always there for a helping hand when needed. He had a beautiful Heart and Soul and I will miss his smile.


When Jeff returned home from Utah he was concerned for his dad's health because he was not doing well from having the abscessed tooth. We talked about maybe it would be a good idea to move to Utah to be near him in case something did happen we could be there to help. We prayed about it and decided that we would move to Utah in November. So we called our family's and told them the news of our decision. My dad was so happy. He said "Jeff!" and Jeff said " I love you too Henry" My dad said, "How did you know I was going to say that?, You are bring my little girl back to me!"


What happened after that is a whirl wind of craziness that I don't know how I survived. The next week was Brady's birthday and we had so much fun at his party. Everyone came and had cake and Ice cream. I couldn't believe my little Brady was 3 years old.

Brady's Blessing

Image
Sunday was a very special day for our little family. Jeff was able to Bless Brady. It was great because Trin and Sam came from Utah for a visit and Sam was able to stand in the circle. I was a little worried about Brady sitting still during the blessing. But when they put their hands on his head he sat very still and kept his arms folded the whole time. It was also very special because Jeff's Sisters, his mom, his Aunt Tricia and her husband, and his Aunt Ellen with her family were all there too. The Primary Program was also on Sunday. It was so sweet and the spirit was definatly with us all day. Brady really loved having Trin and Sam here for a visit. He calls Trin , "Ninny" and Sam, "Ninny's Dada" or "Am". Getting ready for church. Family Kissses!

Out Smarted Again!

Image
This first picture is of my kitchen table. I had to put my chairs up like this because I guess my lovely little boy is in the stage where he likes to use the kitchen chairs to climb on top of the counter. He gets into the cabinets and into various other things that we put out of reach so he will not hurt himself or overdose on Hershey kisses. But I guess it was said that, "If there's a will there is a way" and my son is full of will. So I took a picture of him in the act of trying to unlock the door to get out. He is standing on a milk crate that is normally filled with toys in his room. Notice the very pleased look on his face. Well he wasn't so happy when I took him off the crate and put it away so he can't use it. He through a typical terrible two temper tantrum and stormed off to his room. I am sure he is plotting a new plan as I sit and type this story. Please pray for me and my loony 2 year old. I am not sure I am going to make it to his 3rd bir...
