Elk Hunt

Saturday, we got to go on the mountain for Tandi's elk hunt. Kaybri started out the day pretty rough. She was quite tired and just not herself. Having sick kids while camping is the pits! But as the day went on, she started to come around more and more. I didn't get a chance to go out hiking at all (which sucks because I was REALLY looking forward to it) but just getting out in the mountain air, eating dinner next to the campfire and gazing at all those stars was good enough for me! Kaybri had fun. Thats all that matters....

**AND NO, TANDI HAS NOT GOTTEN HER BIG BULL.. AT LEAST NOT YET!

Blah Blah Blah... (never anything new to blog)

Oh, how I have neglected my blog....

I just don't know that I have that much going on in my life right now. We've had a lot of family reunions lately. Nothing to report there. Just a bunch of people with cameras. Everybody hugging everybody. You know how it is!

This morning, I was told that my great grandma passed away in her sleep. She was 91 yrs old and what a way to go! I will miss her so much but if anybody deserved such a peaceful passing, it was her!

Joss has just been working like a mad man. I can't believe that a year ago we had tens of thousands of dollars we owed for Brody's medical bills. Now we are through the majority of them and almost back up on our feet.

Kaybri has been a joy. Always learning new things. And she is SO sassy. I love it.... I feel really guilty because where Joss and I are both working nights now, she splits her week between Grandma Lori and Grandma Lisha (Joss' mom and my mom). I wish I could spend more time with her, but she doesn't mind a bit. In fact, she'd rather be at Grandma's anyday.
As for me, I've just been busy with work and I'm loving it. Most everybody I work with (dispatchers and officers) are awesome and a lot of fun to work with.

So there you have it, nothing much going on! I can tell you this: Joss and I are in the market for a serious vacation! So if anybody is interested in going to Cancun for a week, just let me know. lol. yeah right. Did I say Cancun? I meant St George! Like I could afford a week in Mexico! ;)

4th of July

We spent the first half of our day with family doing the BBQ thing. Steak, baked beans, loaded taters... Mmmm. From there, I left to go to work. It has been quite busy but nothing the group of us can't handle. Joss and Kaybri went to the parade, the rodeo and the fireworks. Joss is exhausted but I'm sure he and Kaybri had a great day together. He is also quite the guy for taking Kaybri out to the movie last night. Just the two of them--Ice Age 3. She talked about it all day and begged him to take her back. She's had so much excitement the past few days, she might sleep for a week (I know Joss and I will).

Hope everyone had a great 4th!!

We've Moved

So the past weekend we moved across town. Its a bigger house and its not right on the main road. I'm not quite sure what to do with all the space. I have been trying to unpack through the week and I'm finding that I can't fill all the cupboards. That's kind of a nice change. But I'm sure that it will be short-lived. Also, my little sister, Kelsie, is staying with us for a while. Just until school starts in the fall. Even with her and all her stuff, we still have quite a bit of room. Its kind of a nice change having so much space.

Joss and I have both been working nights so Kaybri has been spending a lot of time with grandparents. She loves it but we always feel bad pawning her off. Plus, by the time I'm off nights (after Thanksgiving) our family is going to be so worn out from watching her. She is 2 scoops, that's for sure!! I do have to say that I am loving her new found obsession with puzzles. Its no big deal for her to sit down with a 100 piece puzzle and have it put together in 45 minutes. It amazes me. I often sit down with her to do them and she will take the pieces from me and put them where they need to go. She kind of makes Joss and I look stupid, but that's okay. We don't mind her being the smart one! ;)

Other than that... Same old, same old! We just work and sleep. Boring, I know!!

Happy Birthday Brody Joss!!!

Our Schubby Buddy would have celebrated his 5th birthday today. We could not let the day pass without honoring him in some way. We spent some time at the cemetery each writing a message on a balloon and then releasing them to Heaven. We also had some cupcakes and just took a moment to reflect on the sweet memory of our Angel Boy.

We love and miss you so much, Brody! You are in our thoughts, prayers and every aspect of our daily lives. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
