Tribute to Big D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG D

Well as much as I can't believe it Darian turned 14 today, AAAAHHHHHH..Can you say scary, where did the last 14 years go. Before I know it he will be asking to date, go to the mall without me and even scarier to DRIVE!! It is interesting to see him mature, and move towards adulthood. Happy birthday son, may 14 be an amazing year for you...

Braedyn's Surgery

Braedyn had surgery today to get another set of tubes, and he had a Adenoidectomy. We arrived in Portland at 5:30 a.m, which was a long drive without any milk. Needless to say Braedyn did not want to stay, but of course we had to. He was quite the trooper, and did very well. He did have a bit of trouble coming out of the Anesthesia, and was looking pretty confused. The ride home was a little tough, but we managed with only one barf episode. After several hours of sleep, Braedyn is starting to be more like his playful self.

Our Beloved Puss

I am upset to say that our sweet "puss" has come up missing, and we have been unable to find him. Despite a search of the neighborhood, a visit to the humane society, and an add on craigslist there is no sign of "puss". Aaron got "puss" when Arieana was only 11 months old, and has been our sweet kitty ever since. Needless to say we are all very upset, and hope for the best. No one can ever replace such a wondeful kitty, and the memories we hold. Puss has put up with two toddlers, two moves, numerous visits by mom's dogs, and the occassional tom cat in the neighborhood. Our hearts will be empty until he returns home....

A couple of X-mas Shots

Remembering Crystal

I just wanted to take a minute to remember my best friend Crystal that passed away four years ago on January 12th. Crystal was a very special person, and made a everlasting impact on my life and everyone Else's. She was kind, outgoing and we always had fun being together. There is not a day that goes by that i don't think about her, and the fight that she fought. I wish she could be here with me, but most importantly be here with her two beautiful children. People come and go in our lives, so when we have the opportunity to meet someone special were lucky. I was very lucky, to have had a truly wonderful best friend. I hold our memories close to my heart, and wish that we could have had more time in this life to spend together. As Crystal stated to me before she passed "where and when i don't know, but i can't wait to see you again".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG DOG

My little big dog turned 3 yesterday, on the eve of a New Year. He was very excited to celebrate his day with a Spiderman birthday cake, and a few presents. I can't believe it has been three years already, time really goes by fast.
