Rylie was so excited to FINALLY loose her 1st top tooth. I say slow down and quit growing up on me. She couldn't wait for it to come out and for the tooth fairy to visit.
I think the missing tooth is adorable.
Bode wishing his teeth are loose, so the toothfairy will come.
Look at this beauty!! Grandma Kay made this scarf for Rylie, we are pretty spoiled by her talents. Look how grown up she looks!
And look at this beautiful lumber jack! He was sick and tired of being cold during the "cold days" and came up with his own hat and borrowed my scarf for a day.
With his beard and hat, he looks like he is ready for the tundra!
My kids love playing in the snow! But I thought this picture says it all. They look like little bear cubs rolling around in the snow and loving every minute of it.
Bode's first night in a big boy bed! He LOVED his crib and never tried to get out (a bit scared of heights) and I loved knowing where he was at. Mike decided I couldn't keep him in it forever, so we got him a big boy bed. He loves it and sleeps really good!
My favorite Uncle passed away this month. It was one of the hardest things that I have had to go through. He was an amazing man with the biggest heart, always found the best in people and had a way of serving others. Family meant everything to him! And he meant everything to me! I have some cherished memories that I want to journal...
He sold me my first car, a little silver toyota, and I loved it. I drove it from SLC and coming over sardine canyon it died on me and I had to be towed to Richmond. The next morning, I woke up to My uncle and Dad fixing my little car. After that it ran like a champ.
He tought me how to water ski, starting when I was just little. The best part was how he never gave up on pulling me up and was so patient. He would just keep pulling his boat around and around to give me the roap until I could pull up. And it took alot for me to finally figure it out. He would then hollar out YAAAAYYY! with his fist pumped in the air.
It was a classic hollar I couldn't wait to hear.
At Bear Lake, he let me stay in his cabin when I sold raspberries as a teen. He talked to my date at Bear Lake like he was my dad and made sure the young man understood when I should be back. I learned how to play (cheat) at gin by my uncle. I always looked forward to a good game with him.
He was so generous when I stayed with him and my aunt during my internship, we had wonderful conversations. I looked up to him so much. He loved my little family so much and always showed it. He took both my kids for their first boat rides, tube rides. He called Rylie princess! I felt so close to him. loved him, and will miss him so much, but I thank him for touching my heart the way he did. I cherish the time we had together. He was such a generous man with a huge heart.
It's all about family!
