A better shot of the front

The next picture is the back and it has all the kids names on it. It also has our family motto, which is, "No empty chairs in the eternities." This is a picture of the front. My dad loved running and was actually out running when he passed away, so on the bottom it says, "He just kept running home." You really can't see them in this picture, but right after that saying, there are little foot prints that lead up the heaven. Under the temple, it says, "Forever sweethearts." As much as we don't like the fact that he is gone, his headstone turned out as pretty as we hoped.

This might seem a little different to be posting, but my father just recently passed away and this is the first time some of my siblings are getting to see this. This is a picture of his headstone. We all miss him so much and it has been hard to not have him with us, but we know he is where he needs to be. We love you dad!!

Not our best picture, but we are having fun taking pictures of ourselves!!!

It is so amazing how sweet and innocent they are when they are sleeping??

Well, my new goal to live an un-boring life really hasn't worked. I never have anything to write about in my blog, but I feel that I can't leave all of my readers hanging, just wondering what is going on in my life!!!! Ok, I am really only talking about you Vicki, since you are my only reader!! Anyway, I recently went to education week with my wonderful mother and sisters and neice. (Julie, yes fall under the sisters category!) We had a fabulous time going from class to class, learning how to better ourselves and our families. Basically I learned that I have ALOT to work on. It was so nice to just go and spend some good quality time with my family, and if I have learned anything from the events of this summer, it is to always cherish every second that you have with your family.
After ed week, a few of us ran in a 1/2 marathon. At about mile 8 I though to myself, "who's stupid idea was this?" But, we all finished, me a little slower than everyone else, but none the less, I finished. We then all headed to seven peak with all the kids and had a ball. My two little stinkers, who are normally scared by water, had the time of their lives. All in all, it was a wonderful week.

What can I say??? Here is our little model. He sure does love the camera and definitely loves to pose. He is always in front of the mirror making sure that his hair is in place and making sure there is about 4 gallons of hairspray in it. I am going to have to start hiding the hairspray from him!!
