My memory is completely reliant on photos. I don’t really have very many either.  This is basically the run down: In between B’s birthday and Master D’s birthday, me and the 3 young kiddos went down to AZ for Taylor’s baptism.  B’s mom had recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that was inoperable and she didn’t want to have chemo.  B decided to go visit her in CA instead of coming with us.  Two weeks later B, me and Lelu returned to AZ for Kari’s wedding on January 31st.

February 12th, TT had to have some routine hernia surgery that had been postponed from the first week of January because he was sick.  It was also valentine’s day weekend, Lelu’s sweetheart’s dance, Ari’s soccer tournament in Mesquite and B’s mom’s health had taken a very bad turn.  I took over the care of TT and Lelu in UT, while B drove to Mesquite – thank heavens Ari’s soccer team lost their games (Sorry Ari) so they didn’t have to stay through Monday and then B and Ari drove the rest of the way to Thousand Oaks.  Master D flew down to CA on Sunday morning and was able along with B and Ari to say their last goodbyes to Renee.  The 3 of them plus Wyatt and Landon drove home on Monday.  Renee passed away on Tuesday February 17, 2015.  On Friday, Me, B, Lelu and the twins flew back to Thousand Oaks for the funeral on Saturday and then returned on Sunday. That made me tired just writing about it – no wonder it was such a blur.

Ari and her boys she begs me to adopt! I got plenty of snapshots of the boys and my girls loving Michelle’s newest 5 lb niece but none of Taylor looking handsome in his baptism suit. You’ll have to take my word for it.

How can you NOT want to steal them?

Kari made a very beautiful bride and Lelu loved being a bridesmaid! We were so happy to have made it down there.

I LOVE Ryan’s face in this photo!
