Travis turns 2!

Happy Birthday Travis!!! Tavis is in love with trains, the first thing he says of in the morning is "choo choos"! We are all pretty sick of Thomas the Train shows. For his birthday Grandma Sharol made him a Thomas blanket and pillow cases. Grandma Nancy, Papa John and Kellie got him a little peoples train set and we got him a train table (but it hasn't come it yet). KrisLyn made him a little bean bag at her Activity Days. Travis is our little tornado!! So full of life, smart and sweet. We all agree he is darn cute, but he is the cutest when he is asleep:)

Give away a day

My mom loves to watch Good Things Utah, rarely misses a day. This morning on the show they had a give away blog. You go to this blog, http://www.giveawaytoday.blogspot.com/. Leave your name (other information if needed) and check back the next day to see if you won. They don't save your email, name or other information thats why you have to check back. You can even leave your comment annomous, too. Right now they have several different give away, because of the Good Things Utah, but normally I think one contest a day.

Dad

Well its been three years since he has been gone. Man times goes by fast!! My dad was the greatest! He was so much fun, ever giving, smart, and the hardest worker I think I have ever met!! The picture above was taken at Lagoon with my older brother Bill and me! He always took us to do fun things, Lagoon or a water park was always on the list! He always give us what we needed and more. When I was little I had a Primary activity that was a Father/Daughter activity. I lived in Willard and he lived in Green River, WY so I figured I wouldn't have a dad for it. My friend Stephanie was going to let me share hers, but I got to the church and he was sitting there waiting for me! After he got off work he drove 3 hours to be there for a simple BINGO party!! How amazing is that?! I will never forget how much he loved me!! Kasadee found this picture the other day and asked "Do you wish he was still alive?" I told her no. She asked why, I told her he is doing important work on the other side. I miss he a lot, but he really isn't far away, I feel him close by making sure everything is going okay. I am so very thankful for this wonderful Gospel, to know that we will be together again someday!
