Grandma Dircks Visit

Grandma Sharon flew on a big airplane all the way from MN to visit Sawyer and me. We had so much fun playing with Grandma.

Lots of blueberries were consumed when grandma was here to stop the hunger cries.

I prefer strawberries but unlike my brother I only eat a few.

My favorite thing to do for Grandma is to show off.

This is all baby Sawyer has to do to get what he wants.

Grandma made us the most delicious brownies to celebrate our birthdays.

As you can see, I get a bite and Sawyer gets two huge pieces. I am pretty sure grandma is pickin favorites.

We miss you already Grandma!

CELEBRATING GRANDMA JUDY'S LIFE

God looked around His garden

And He found an empty place

He then looked down upon the earth

And saw your precious hurt face

He put His arms around you

And lifted you to rest;

God's Garden must be beautiful

He always takes the best

He knew that you were suffering

He knew you were in pain

He knew you'd never ever

Get well on earth again

So He closed your weary eyelids

And whispered "Peace be thine"

Then He took you up to Heaven

With Hands so gentle and kind

It broke our hearts to lose you

But you did not go alone,

For part of us went with you

The day God welcomed you home.

We are so thankful for our time with you Grandma Judy and we are sad to see you go home but we know you are in a very special place. You have had a long painful journey and we rejoice that you are now pain free and have a new body living a new amazing life.

I just took these pictures with Judy 4 days before she began her journey home. I am so thankful that the boys were able to see her and get to know their Grandma Judy. We love you! Judy Gail Cannell December 24 1946 - May 30 2010

Denver Aquarium

When it snows in May, you always have the option to travel to an amazing place called the Aquarium! We even got to bring "Teese" with us! We are excited to have her here and hope to hand out with her more during her short time here.

Teese is the bravest girl I know!

We had so much fun and can't wait to come back soon!

WE ARE ALIVE!

Life for us has been a little busy but I am happy to report that it is still good! My baby brother is getting bigger each day and yes, he is still cute.

We are currently renting an apartment until our new house comes available in June. It's been quite the transition but we are making the best of it.

To keep from going stir crazy in our little apartment we get out and play every day.

When the weather is not cooperating we get to play fun games.

We thought Sawyer was going to take up walking and was doing it quite often and then decided to just keep to crawling. This is my super tough bandage. Our temp apartment is furnished with a glass table and I thought it would be fun to jump from the table onto the couch. Needless to say, I missed the couch and my head went straight back into the glass table putting 4 staples in the back of my head. Mom said I was very brave at the doctor and I didn't even cry when they took the staples out. My last days at our house were spent climbing and riding my bike. Our last baths at our house. We are sad to leave our mountain home and have some amazing memories that we will always cherish but we are beginning a new season in our lives. A season of unknowns but we are putting that in Gods hands and are blessed to have each other! We look forward to getting in our new home in June and I will be sure to share some more pics then. We have limited computer/Internet access so we are trying to keep uploading pics to a minimum. I will do my best to keep you posted on our lives.
