Grandma Burgie

In Loving Memory Grandma Burgie passed away Friday morning. I will miss her more than ever. She lived in Idaho Falls so we were able to be close to her. Grandpa passed away about 5 years ago and she has been missing him since then. Grandma was such an amazing person. Very loving. She was so sweet and loved to share her stories with us. She was also an amazing cook. Sonny's famous Red Velvet cake recipe came from her. She was a hard worker and loved to share her work stories with us. She was so wonderful to my little family. I wish she was able to still be here with us, but I know that she is in Heaven now with her loving husband. She will be missed more than ever.

Grandpa B

In Loving Memory My grandpa Bringhurst passed away Friday night. He has not been well for awhile now. I am so grateful that my parents had a chance to visit with him one last time. I have so many wonderful memories of grandpa. He used to joke with me and say I was his girl friend and in tuen I would say well you are the most handsome boyfriend I could ever have. I have not been able to see him for over a year now. He lives in St. George and has been in a rest home for the last year. He was the most amazing man ever. I knwo he is in heaven smiling down on his family free of pain, but I will miss him deeply.

My very Best Friend

Oh this last year has been such a challenge for us. I miss my best friend all the time. I never knew how hard it would be to be away from him so much. He is my rock. One thing the seperation has done for us is made us stronger. I am so proud of him. He is the hardest worker I know. He is an amazing father and a wonderful example to our kiddies. I love him more than words could ever express.

Yes another dance

I know another dance. She looks so stinking beautiful. It blows me away. I often wonder where in the heck she came from. We had her dress made in the Phillipines and it turned out amazing. I love it. She finally got to go to a dance with the love of her life. He came home for Christmas break and was able to take her to the dance. They really are the cutest couple ever. I just wish I could keep her from growing up so dang fast.

Ma and Pa are home

Wow 2 years went by pretty darn fast. My parents came home from their mission on Dec 9th. The served a 2 year mission in the phillipines. They loved the mission and I won't be suprised if they decide to serve another one. Because they gave up everything to serve a mission including a house they are staying with us. It has been helpful to have them around. It just amazes me how fast 2 years went. I am so grateful to them for the sacrifice they made and for the amazing examples they are. Sonny and I suprised them at the Salt Lake airport. They flew into Salt Lake for a coupel of days before coming into Idhao Falls. It was pretty cool being able to be at the airport when they came in. Some of the pictures are blurry. After we picked them up we went to Applebees to

My little man is growing up.

Jayden took hunter safty this year so that he could go hunt with his dad. They went deer hunting last week. They did not see anything, but they had so much fun. jayden was so dang excitted. It was like the night before christmas for him. I can not believe that my little man is old enough to go hunting. It made me cry just a little. I know it is something that he has really been looking forward to, but this year he as done so many things that have grown him up I am just not sure if I was ready for all of it. He is such a good young man. I love him.

Homecoming 08

I can not believe Chelsie is a senior. She will be 18 in just a couple of months. It scares me I have no idea where the years went. She is such an amazing girl. I am so proud of her. She really is a good girl. She works hard and stand up for what she believes in. She is not afraid to be crazy and just be herself. she loves to make people laugh and when she laughs you can not help but laugh with her. I just wish the years did not go so fast. Tonight was homecoming. She went with one of her good friends Ryan. She wanted it to be a casual informal night so she choose a dress that was not as formal. She looked so pretty. It snowed here today and was super cold so she looked like she was going to freeze. So before she left she grabbed her big coat with a fur hood. she looked just to cute. I should have grabbed a picture. I know I am a little crazy, but I had to get a picture of the corsage. It was so pretty he did a great job at picking one out. I think she is really enjoying her senior year and just having a lot of fun. I hope she will make some amazing memories to carry with her forever.

Life is crazy

I have not update my blog for awhile and some people (Sara) keep getting on my case about it. I have not had much to blog about lately or at least any pictures to add. This last month has been about as crazy as it can get. I think I have said that now for the last few months. Sonny is still working in Wyoming. He as actually been gone for 3 weeks this time and we have 2 more weeks before we get to see him again. We miss him so bad. We are on the look out for a better job for him that will bring him back home but until then we just make this work. Last week I started a new job. I thought I would add to our crazy life. Actually I am hoping that it will help us get Sonny back here a little sooner. I am working at Alliance Title here in Rigby. My kids said mom i thought you were done with the whole mortgage thing. I was but this is a little different. I am training to be an escrow officer. It is a ton of stuff to learn, but it is fun to learn new things. Chelsie started a new job as well. She is working at Kohls in Idaho Falls. She seems to like it ok. she says that all she does is fold clothes, but they work with her schedule good and it seems to be a pretty good job. School is going good for the kiddies. It is weird to think that this is Chelsie's last year of school, at least high school. Well that about sums up our past month. I will try to get some pictures and do a little better at posting. Until then
