Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe


She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me


Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe


She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me


It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause


She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
Don`t worry 'bout me

Here are some pictures from Shannan's funeral in Utah. It was really good to see so many friends and family that we hadn't seen in so long. It was so good to see Austin and Westin. Even though Celeste is only five months younger than the boys, in my head they were still so small. It was amazing to see how talented and sweet they have become. Thanks Marsha for the pictures!! Celeste threw my camera in the lake!!

Lake Powell

We went on a houseboat trip with my Dad to Lake Powell. We had a blast! I was a bit nervous with the kids around water all day but they all survived! It was nice to get to know my step brother and sister better, since I really have no contact with my brother Mike. We had a great week of jet skis, tubing, horseshoe and lasso golf tournaments. We hope to make it an annual trip.

Clayton's first home run!

Clayton played his first year of kid pitch this year! It was a very interesting one... we weren't a huge fan of his coach. I willl leave out the details, I am moving on. We couldn't have ended the season better. During the last game that Clayton would be in, he hit his first in park homerun! When we talked to him about it and congratulated him he said, " I wish my home run hit my coach in the head!" But, that is another story!! He may look like me, but he inherited his dad's anger issues! Way to go Clayton! I hope you hit a few more next season!

Sadly, these are all pics from 2 years ago. This year he played for the White Sox and Russ kept score while I attempted to keep Addison entertained! So the camera never became a possibility!

Jonathon's last day of school

All the kids are finally out of school! Jonathon is moving to another school again! This will be his third preschool in three years. Good thing he is social like his dad! Here are some pics from his last day including his best friend Tyler!

Hip hop pics

We missed Celeste's dance recital last weekend but I have some pictures of how cute she would have looked! This is Gabby and Celeste and their pictures before pictures after full hair and make-up. Thanks to Debbie for getting them ready and so beautified!

Day of Fun

Nice family pic huh? Mom is choking Jonathon.... actually she is trying to turn his head to face the camera! He was doing everything he could to get out of the pictures!

Can anyone smile at the same time?

Really?

(Through Celeste's eyes)

Today, our family went to check out the new Wildlife Zoo & Aquarium. There were soo many animals! The kids had a blast looking at all the different animals. Before looking at the pictures, let me just tell you it took us a long time to get one good family picture....but we got one! Enjoy the pictures!

Addison is completely oblivious to the crazy family she became a part of!

Thanks Jen for help with captions....now if I could only figure out how to edit the others without deleting.
