Just feeling a little blue.

So its been a long time since I've updated the blog. Alissa and Jasper are keeping me busy and I have very little time to update or do anything that hasn't involved the kids. But lately I've been looking online trying to decide what to do for Jasper's first birthday and it has had me thinking a lot about how it would be Kimball's 3rd birthday. I can't believe its already been almost 3 years since i held him in my arms and since we had to lay him to rest. I have also had Alissa telling me she is forgetting things about Kimball and it is making her sad. I just don't know what to say or do to help her. I guess the toughest thing I had to deal with lately was Alissa told me she is forgetting what Heaven is like and wanted to know if she could go back. I had to tell her NO you can't go back I would miss you to much. I love how sweet she is and am amazed by her way of thinking. I don't know what I would do if she left me, and I don't want to think about it. I love my kids and I'm so glad I have them in my life to keep me busy on the bad days. I know we are truly blessed to have them in our lives. I'm hoping that July doesn't bring up to many of the bad memories and I can truly remember all of the great memories we had with our baby. I also hope Jasper's first birthday goes off without a hitch.

Donations For Austin

For all of you who know how expensive medical stuff is we are trying to help raise money for our friends Ben & Courtney's little boy Austin he is awaiting a Kidney transplant this spring sometime. His mom is Donating one of her Kidneys to Austin. Austin last summer contracted a deadly strain of E Coli which cause his Kidneys to shut down. Right now Austin is getting Dialysis 3x a week. The total Medical Expenses are expecting to be around $50,000.00 this will cover the cost of the transplant and help pay for his anti rejection medication after his transplant.

We are also doing a fund raiser right now selling candles from party lite this fund raiser will end 2/25/11.
