Ashtin











I can't believe that it has been one year since the accident. The images of her at the hospital are so vivid in my mind like it just happened yesterday. I don't think I will ever forget them. Sometimes I still think she is going to walk through the door and want to play with Jake. I know she is in a place of peace and happiness surrounded by people who love her. I miss her and so do my kids. Today we went to the cemetery with family and friends. We had balloons and let them go and my dad said a short prayer. It was nice. Other than the wind the weather was great. I love you Ash. I will see you again one day. Funny how when I logged on to write this post one of the songs on my playlist by the group Simple Minds came on. The song is called, "Don't you forget about me." I will not forget you Ashtin.

Happy Birthday Jake







My valentine baby is six. I can't believe it. He was so excited for his birthday because next year he will be seven and he can have sleep overs. He woke up and his dad was gone playing basketball so be had to wait to open his presents and it was killing him so I let him pick one to open to hold him off. After he opened his presents we took him to the Aquarium and to lunch at Iggy's. Sunday night family came over for cake and ice cream. It was Christmas all over again.
