Funeral and a Birthday

We have recently made a trip down to our home town Dillon, MT for Sheyden's uncle Matthew's funeral. We found out he had passed on Easter Sunday, Matt's favorite holiday of all things, and left instantly on Monday to help out with everything.

The funeral was on Wednesday and it was pretty eerie and sad. All of his six kids were in shock and held up really well up until the showing of Matthew and then it hit everyone. The one who had shown that it hit the hardest was Audrey. All we could do was hold her and tell her everything will be alright and that she'd see him again.

Saturday, we had a birthday party for our son Graison and it was really great to have happiness in all the sadness. I made his cake, the very hungry caterpillar, and it took him a second or two to really get into his cake. He loved his presents and had fun with all of his cousins, most of all his grandpa Phillip.

I'm so glad to have Graison in our lives and I can't believe that he's 1 year old already (on the 28th). The time definitely flies by. I'm so excited for future birthdays to come and hopefully a sibling or two for him down the road. Until then we will be the Happy Trio.

My Day on March 21st

Hmmm....Let's see.  Since last post we have had the absolute worst weather ever!!  Wind, Rain, Snow, Hail....ugh!!  I love the rain, but when its mixed with all of that other gunk...uh-uh No Thank You.  Today was exceptional however the wind stayed.  I got Graison to the park to swing and he loved it.  He laughed and had the brightest eyes ever!!  He did swing once before but he was too little to enjoy it, so this time it was so cute and fun EVEN with that darned wind!

After the park the wind had picke up, so I rushed home to get us toasty. Our walk didn't last long which was a bummer, but Graison got tired and took a nap, so what did I do? Threw some laundry in, let the dog out for some play time and some water...can't miss that good ol' H2O...and touched up the color in my hair. Yes, I finally got time to do all that, not to mention the dishes got done too.  After that Graison got through most of his sweet taters...his absolute fave...and had some nanner puffs, while I washed the color out and blew it dry.  Sheyden was in and out during the blow drying part getting ready for his workout time before having to head back to work.

It looked SO nice outside when Sheyden left for his work out, that I decided to go for another walk today...okay I'll admit that it was in hopes to wear the kid out and have him get back on a good sleep schedule.  I walked all the way over to the little gas station on base and realized that while Graison had been chewing on my wallet, he had tossed it out of the stroller and I didn't see it.  So I traced my steps and along the way came across a guy who had found it...little did I know he stole my $30 that was inside....GRRR!!  If he would've been extra decent and honest and not have stolen my money, he probably would've been given the $10 dollar bill that I had in there.  He was long gone by the time I had realized that my money was stolen out of it.  Who knows maybe it was someone else who decided to leave the wallet behind (but why do that and not take the debit cards)  maybe the guy needed it more than I, but in the end Karma will bite him in the A** for not being and honest fella.  It'll probably be money he tries buying weed with and have a drug bust happen while he's buying and be kicked out of the military...that'd be horrible but thats where my brain goes to sometimes in thinking of what kind of Karma people will get.

Well that's my day, hoping to get to see our cousin tomorrow for her Volleyball Tourney...how exciting will that be!! So as the great Tigger says  TTFN tah tah for now!!
