Way Behind!

So .... I should quit and give up now because I am the worst blogger.  I get so far behind that I don't know where to begin to catch up.  I'm good at posting lots of pictures so I will do that.  But let me just say that we are doing very well!  We feel very blessed to find ourselves where we are at at the end of this school year and see Heavenly Father's blessings everyday.  We are trying our best to teach our little Beck about his cool big brother Jared as we talk and point to pictures of him almost daily.  Gabrielle is a wonderful big sister, setting such a great example of doing what's right.  Bradley brings so much fun energy, and laughter and Beck is just a crack up to us all!  Andrew is busy completing his PhD and working and I'm keeping busy too.  I love being a mom and love my little family.  Here are some pictures of the past year-


Bradley's 5th Birthday!






We hosted a 5K this year to raise money for the Chordoma Foundation.  We teamed up with another family from Utah who also lost their daughter to a chordoma tumor.  We did it Thanksgiving weekend, which is a tender time of the anniversary of Jared's passing.  It turned out great and we hope to do it again!  Thanks to everyone else who supported us and for everyone's generous hearts.



Merry Christmas! December 2011

  1. PERFECT catch up post. LOVED the photo highlights you have such a beautiful family.

    Over the past few weeks I have been constantly reminded of Jared as I watch Bradley after pre-school. They have so many expressions and mannerism that are alike. It will be easy for Beck to know and love Jared as you talk about him daily and as he watches his big brother... for he is like him in so many ways...at least to me.

    Love the photos from Gabriell's baptism she is really growing up and so beautiful.

    I also love all your DARLING birthday cakes as always!!!
