I was looking for lds quotes for my art journal... something im diving back into lately... help let go and get my mind off of things. Anyways I found this picture and felt at peace. Angels watching over us, guiding us, walking with us, teaching us, and protecting and loving us.

Reason for Everything...

Today could possibly be the hardest day I have ever had to endure. I know I never want to experience this again, but at the same time I know that this has happened for a reason. It was hard to see the screen and really see nothing, it was hard to listen to only my heart beat and hear nothing else. It was hard to look at Logan and see him crying. At the perfect moment Logan held me tight, as we waiting alone in the room, and whispered to me that in time we will raise this child. Comforting words to hear... and to know in the meantime the little one is safe in Heaven being cared for by all those who love us. Guess it's the hardest thing to let go of, but at the same time its peaceful knowing that the little one is okay.

PARK!!

We went to the park today and had a picnic and the kids had a great time playing on the playground! Andrew loves the "wee" also known as a slide and the whole time on the swing he giggled! Matthew loved climbing up the slides and also a little "mountain"climbing toy.. Maegan loved everything, especially the slide! they all had a great time!! Also the two pictures that are similar of rae and i are 5 years difference. One was taken today and one was taken 5 years ago!! im sure you can figure it out. well have a good day!!




Matthew has something to say to his Mommy and Daddy:
M iss you
A re you having fun?
T he park was nice
T he fireworks were loud
H awaii pictures are nice
E verything is wonderful
W e love you

That is a poem matthew wrote

update!

Hey everyone! I'm having a blast in Washington! the kids are keeping me movin! lol yesterday was the 4th and we had a blast. we went up to Grandma McGuires and had a yummy picnic and hung out with everyone. Made a quick trip to get fireworks, and then headed on home to light them off. The kids had fun lighting the little kiddy ones off, especially Matthew. Andrew was not as pleased by them... i think it was mostly the neighbors lighting on rounds of 100 crackers at a time... but he also only had a 30 min nap that day as well... so he eventually went inside with grandma and fell asleep quickly.. here are some pictures of everyone enjoying their day. first picture is Andrew of course... he insisted on wearing the glasses while the fireworks went off... comfort i guess :) the second one is just some fireworks the neighbors set off. third picture is of another cool picture of fireworks... The fourth is Adam with about 12 or more sparklers spinning around i thought it turned out super cool!! The 5th picture is Matthew with his punk... he had such a great time with the fire works and lighting them off with the help of Grandpa. The last one is of Maegan and Grandpa holding a sparkler... lets just say as soon as it burned about 1/4 of the way she would freak out and throw it on the ground! lol well hope everyone had a great Holiday!!
Maegan wanted to say something to her mommy and daddy: I love you and miss you. Matthew misses you too and Andrew. Laura misses you too. Have fun in Hawaii!
