12 Years Already!!!???

 Here is Trent and I  when we were 16/17

years old.

Here we are 12 years and 2 kids later. 

On our anniversary, The Turners took

our kids for the night so Trent and I got dinner,

watching a movie and went to bed,

We slept in, had a great breakfast and then

tackled a home project. It was a great weekend. 

Tyler.....

 On November 14th was Tyler's ten year death

anniversary. Its hard to explain my thoughts and 

feeling about this, I will always have mixed 

emotions about Tyler and his passing, After ten 

years, I still think about him every day,

Juanita, My Mother and Lacey all meat at the

cemetery to bring flowers and reflect on Tylers short life.

We discussed the actual night/day that Tyler passed away.

It was very interesting to hear Juanita's story.

She loved Tyler so much. Juanita and my mom are some 

very strong women, I love them both so much.

Its My Birthday!!!

 On November 15th, I turned 31 years old....Weird.

Trent and I meat up with one of my best friends

(Alison)and her date (Jason) for dinner.

The next night we had a family party

at the Turners. The whole weekend was amazing.

Halloween!!!

 Aspen and Raider at the ward Halloween 

party and truck-or-treat
