Cereal time!

Derek's first time with cereal. He didn't really know what to think. It didn't take him long to figure it out. He slept so much better with the cereal in him. I tried to prolong it but gave in at four months. I can tell he already loves to eat.

Happy Birthday!

Bryce had his 3rd birthday. He was so excited when the day finally came. Bryce is such a sweet kid who loves life. He is almost always happy. I love to watch him smile because he seems to smile all over. His eyes are my most favorite part of his smile. If you know Bryce you know what I mean.

Bryce helped me make the cake and was ready to eat it when we were done. He had to wait one whole day. Boy was that hard for him to do. The race track idea was from Kent. But Bryce loved the cake and it fit him well. He loves cars.

When it was time to open present Bryce was ready to go. Family came and he kept saying, "It's my birthday. It's my birthday."

I love you, Grandpa

My Grandpa Moulton passed away on September 11. It kind of took me by surprise. His health wasn't so good but he had a very clear mind so I thought he had a few more years in him. I loved my grandfather very much. It was pretty hard on me. The hardest part was watching my grandma and realizing her best friend was gone. I have so many great memories of my grandpa and they will stay with me forever. Tanner told me the other day as I was a little tearful. "It's okay mom, he will always be with us because we have pictures of him." Grandpa is in heaven and no longer in pain. That gives me much comfort. I love you, Grandpa.

The funeral was held in Othello at the Stake Center on September 16th. All the grandkids and great grandkids sang I lived in heaven and I am a child of God. Grandma had two of her brothers and one sister and a sister-in-law come to the Funeral.

Boulder Cave

A few weekends ago my family and a couple other families went on a short drive to Boulder Caves which is just above Naches, WA. The ride there was a difficult one. It's only about an hours drive but it felt like three hours because the kids would not quit fighting. Car rides are always so much fun.

We arrived and started the mile walk up the mountain. Very beautiful area.

We made it to the cave and the kids had a blast climbing up the rocks. Bryce got pretty mad at me because I would not let he go up to the top with all the other kids. Thank goodness for friend how think about things ahead of time. The next thing I know Bryce has a sucker in his mouth. Thank you Brooke.
