Grandma Bev

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.

I will miss this home so much

My Grandma Bev died on August 15th.  She has been battling with cancer.  The last year she dealt with treatments and pain.  In the end she was at home with no pain, the way she wanted it to be. My Grandma Bev was an amazing Grandma.  She was smart, caring and always has been there for me.  I'm so glad she got to hold each one of my babies.  I'm going to miss our lunch dates and phone calls.  She was the best person to talk to.  I miss her so much.  I have so much to say about her but just don't have the words right now.  I really liked my Grandma.  Cancer sucks. 

1st day of school

 Another school year has begun!  Why did the summer go so fast?!!  Axel and Ansel were ready to start school, Abel not so much :)

Ansel: Pre-K
My baby is starting school! ahhh...

Axel: 5th grade
He has grown so much!

Abel: 2nd grade
He was upset because I took his brother picture first

Good luck in school boys!

Abel's first loose tooth

Abel lost his first tooth!!
and a second the next day

Brothers cheering him on

Abel finally has lost his first and second tooth!  He was so nervous and didn't want them to come out.  His big teeth were all ready push through behind them so with a little encouragement the teeth came out!  First tooth fairy visits area always a fun one!

Swimming lessons

As summer comes to an end we completed swimming lessons.  This was Ansel's first year and he loved it!  All three boys learned and had fun!
