Before & After...

Before...After...

Memorial Day 2009

Originally to commemorate fallen soldiers... this holiday has spread to a remembrance of all loved ones now gone from mortality. My mom and I got flowers and visited the cemetery today. I'm glad we take the time to remember those we miss and the good memories we have together.That yellow balloon sure wanted to smile down on Scott's grave this year. We decided to take perennials and then plant them afterward so that the flowers don't just die. We took balloons down in favorite colors from Sydney, Stockton, Samantha, myself & mom. We also took the Gatorade that I found in the boat after 'the worst trip ever' to Lake Powell... And I had to put a note not to take the food... for Christmas the year Scott died I took orange sticks with a note to Scott... a family favorite...and a few months later found them half eaten in the center console of my dads car... It was nice to see that so many people remembered Scott. It has been nearly three years and not a day passes that we don't think of and miss you Scott.My grandma & grandpa Fisher's headstone...they have so many kids and grand kids that it was nice to see that they were rememberedMy Uncle Lynn's grave. He died when I was very young and I don't remember him but I have cleaned off his grave and brought flowers and fall leaves for as long as I can remember and it always makes me happy to see beautiful flowers that my cousins bring.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA & STOCKTON!!!

More to come... I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! We can't wait for you to get here for your pool party :) See you soon!

Livie's Blessing Day...

WE LOVE YOU LIVIE!!!Abby is such a wonderful & loving mom--not to mention absolutely beautiful! I think she's inspired me to do an Ironman triathlon...It's been so fun to watch Brad as a daddy--he loves & takes great care of Livie--and I'm not sure this pic does it justice--but he is so proud of her. Hammy Shan is so happy to have a grand baby close by--we miss having Sydney, Stockton, Samantha & Hadyn close by--but they are coming to visit soon!They really are the ideal little family--thanks for your example guys! Love you :)Livie & her silly little mittens ;)She was so happy to find her hands!C'mon he's my brother... it just wouldn't be right if I didn't embarrass him just a little! He does the same for me...She really is such a good natured baby. She sleeps well, smiles and giggles all the time, watches the ball games with mommy & daddy and tries so hard to talk to us!!!She has so many people that love her!!! On the outside edges are grandma Kathy & grandpa Dick--they are serving a mission sharing the joy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with people in Alaska! Livie gets to go visit them this summer--we miss them a whole lot!Sorry with finals, moving & all these are long overdue... but better late than never, eh?!?

Livie missed her friend Octopus while she was in Hawaii...And had some crazy hairdo's while I was experimenting...
Livie sportin' her sweet lil' sunglasses...
And suckin' on Hammy Shan's hand...
And wondering why everyone says she looks like daddy...
Livie kickin' it with Uncle Matt...
And enjoyin' a nice long nap in her swing...
I love Livie a whole lot. She smiled and laughed and played with me all day! Thanks for bein' my pal while Mommy & Daddy were catchin' up on a little sleep after Hawaii! Love you guys :)

I Love Life!

I love life! Today is a fabulous day--the Lord is so good to me!






The End.

From New Snow to 94*

Can life get better than skiing new powder on Monday and laying by the pool in 94* weather by the weekend..? I submit that it cannot! Although Brian Regan live in St. George with wonderful friends & 45-2 min. runs @ the Bird with no one there & 9" fresh powder in May sure do help...
