Christmas cheer, cedar is beautiful

Monday

There are so many people who are your friends who think they can help you with your life, who have no idea who you really are or what kind of person you are, there is know way friends can really grasp your relationships with other people that you love. We need to take what they say as loving caring advise but always be true to yourself and your true relationship and love for the person your friends think that they know and understand.

Almost Christmas ....

I am sitting here so sad about shootings on Friday feeling so thankful for my family and friends lives, everything is so fragile, it's scary.
It is getting close to the end of a very challenging year and I am hoping the future and coming year will be kinder ❤

Thanksgiving day!

We had an awesome day with Dave & Jill and family. We felt so at home, it was the perfect day.... Great company people and food

Cedar is finally home.....haven't seen her all weekend. Birthday party and then to Twin with Keely

Walk with pat and the dogs Sunday morning

The competition is on.....we love this game!

I am trying out blogging from my phone....I am hoping this will help me stay more up to date

Nice Sunday Afternoon...

I am just reminding myself how much I love to post to this blog.  It has been a long time and I am sad I haven't kept it up, at least each month,  well I hope I can start here again and be more on top of it.  We definatly have a lot of stuff for me to document and without making a few notes about it, my mind just lets it all go.  I can hardly remember what I did the day before.  Time is so crazy, as Oakley and Cedar keep getting older faster and faster I feel like it is all a blur. 
I have such a huge list of all the people I want to contact, things I want to accomplish, crafts i want to make, and on and on and on.  I guess just this one little post is a tiny little thing I can say I finally did.  Hope to continue to post.........we will see!

Smoke meeting his son, and little Cash's new family here to take him home!

Stephanie's going away party!

What wonderful memories, I love all these women, Now Steph is almost ready to give birth to a baby and we are all so happy and excited to see them all when they come and show her off.

Little Akiya looking beautiful in the sunlight.













Oakley's 6th grade band performance. He is playing the Bells. He did not fall in love with it and gave it up after this year, but he did good.


Chris and Smoke hanging out!

This is how we entertain ourselves between games.

More soccer pictures, they did an Applebees fundraiser and had to wait tables. they made good money and had so much fun!

Talent show at Edahow

Twin Falls tournament: we were able to watch the base jumpers go off the bridge, pretty scary, I missed getting pictures though, bummer!

This is Mimi and Smoke's little ones I think she had 11, they were beautiful!

Cedar donated her beautiful hair!

Cedar was ready for a bit of a change and bravely went in a cut off 10 inches of her amazing hair. I am so excited for her and she is really having fun with her new hair. she is a little hero. Just wanted to give her a little pat on the back.

Chipped tooth, black eye, bruised and a bit shook up.

Having fun at BBQ, Cedar stumbled on some loose rocks and witnesses say did kind of a front flip, hitting her tooth on a rock and getting a black eye and bruised down her whole right side.  She had a big fat lip that was bleeding and then that big old chip in her front tooth.  Pretty tramatic that night but went in to Aunt Cindy and Dr. Bradley at 7:30am next morning and her tooth was as good as new.  She has some good battle stories to tell. 

May 11th, 2000 Little Cedar was born!

Some fun memories of Cedar's 10th Birthday.  What a wonderful time and sad time for me, I feel like time is flying by so fast I can't absorb all of it.  My little girl being in the double digits is hard for me to accept or believe.  You are growing so fast and have always been such an amazing daughter, I am so lucky and proud to be your mama!!! luv you Cedar Pie!

Rainy days of summer more dress up and pics, the girls took some really nice pictures.
