Fun with Aunt Tagen!

We had a fun day with Auntie Tagen.. We went hiking and we went to the aquarium. I have such a fun sister, and she is an amazing Aunt to my boys as well!

Check out Bridger's MAD face.. It looks like the bitter beer face! Love him!!

1st Camping of the Summer

Queen of the stump..

Bridger wanted us to act like draft horses and pull him up the hill.

Meet Bernie.. He was diagnoised with having OCD. His obsession=fetching obsession! He even has a torn knee, but continues to bug us every second with his love of fetching using only 3 legs! We still love him though..

Meet Gracie- She has an obsession with hunting! Gracie sat at this tree for most the day without flinching and staring at the squirrel she chased up the tree.

I had to add this Beautiful Picture of my handsome nephew Paul the Fighter!

Bridger LOVES looking at this picture and talking about baby Paul. He tells us- "Mommy baby Paul is happy up in Heaven cuddlin Jesus" I especially love when he says his prayers and he still always remembers to pray for them. Here's how they usually go " Bless Rickit and Aunt Tagen that not sad anymore, and that Jesus cuddle baby Paul"

There is nothing better then a childs prayer! I'm grateful baby Paul taught Bridger how to pray for others...

Lots and Lots of PICS!

Bridger always ask us if he can go to work. So my Mom took him to work with her for a day. He had a blast!

Bridger loves his Gram

Bridger always falls asleep while eating.. This time it was with a chicken nugget.

Every year my Dad throws a big dutch oven cookout party for all the employees at the Jackson Mountain Resort. He has about 200 that he cooks for. He is one amazing cook..

At my Dad's party Bridger got invited up on stage to play with the band. He thought he was one cool dude.

Bridge is obsessed with Snow Cats, and he made us all get in with him!

Easter Happiness for a 8 month old= Grass

We went to the Zoo and Bridger was entertained for an hour by Tractors and Icecream!

I love this sweet boy!

Everytime we go to Wyoming it helps rejuvinate me to come back to the city again. I love it out there and so does Bridger. My parents took him for a week and lets just say the kid was quite Happy!

Showing Bridger the ropes..

Fost loves his Papa!

We took Foster out to see the horses and he was really scared of them, he even pulled out the old man face!

Doing the old man face with Aunt Tagen..

Foster enjoys eating hair! Thanks Uncle Eric for letting him enjoy himself..

My kids love Uncle Eric.. Bridger for some reason calls him Uncle Rick it..

Foster's pulling up on everything now, and crawling like crazy.. Now the fun begins!

What's life really about??

Well I have had an amazing and heartbreaking last couple weeks.. I have never in my life been closer to the Lord then this last little while. My sister and her husband just recently lost there little baby Paul. In the beginning I was really upset with the Lord, and I couldn't understand Why? Why did this have to happen to my sister who has been trying to have kids for 3 +years.. Why did it have to happen to 2 people that wanted to be parents more then anything? And they did show in that short week of Paul's life how they ARE wonderful parents. They would stay up all night reading him books, singing primary songs, holding his hand, and giving him lots of love.

Well then after spending that week with baby Paul and watching his amazing parents, I realized that Heavenly Father actually sent baby Paul down to bless all our lives. He is truly a perfect little angel, and he taught me so much.

I now realize how important the little things in life are.. I need to enjoy life more and be more grateful. I realize how easy it is to get caught up in the worldy stuff, when really the most important things in life are actually our family and friends!! I realize how important it is to be patient with my two boys, and enjoy the messes, and there loves and hugs. I realize the importance of prayer.. I haven't prayed so much in my whole life. The Holy Ghost has truly been with me this whole time and helped comfort me.

I'm truly grateful for Tagen and Eric and baby Paul. Thanks Tagen and Eric for letting me feel of Paul's spirit and enjoy that week of his life. I now have this huge motivation to help me stay on track so I can meet my sweet nephew again someday! I love you guys.
