Life is too short

The last few days have been sad, no tragedy in my life but in friends lives. One of my good friends lost her mother after she was severely burned in a gas explosion. I feel awful being so far away and not being able to be there to support her, I know how hard losing a parent is and its never easy no matter how old you are. A friend I've come to know through a Stay at home mom board I'm on passed away yesterday, she was so young and had just given birth to her third son at the begining of April, and now her boys have lost a wonderful mother and so many people have lost a good friend, my heart breaks for her family. It does not seem fair that awful people with no purpose in life get to live and someone life her is taken away too soon. The one bright spot was Carter B turned 2! Audrey and I sent him a video singing Happy Birthday, wish we could've been there in person. Hug your loved ones, Life is too short and you never know if you'll have tomorrow with them.

Ready or Not: Here Comes Summer!

Two weeks from tomorrow Ethan and Kayley will be here! I've got to get the house in order, since I spent Justins last hitch at his grandmas with a broken ankle and I can finally move around pretty good, it has been such a hassel:( anyway, got lots of things planned for this summer like going to the Zoo Science Museum, Cowboy Musem ,Botanical Garden and Six Flags. Audrey got a little pool from my mom, so we'll get Ethan and Kayley a small pool too and they'll have lots of fun in the backyard. We haven't seen them in 10 months so we are so excited! Audrey will love having someone to play with. Thanks to Pinterest.com I've got lots of crafts and stuff for them to do as well! We're kicking off the start of summer with the kids birthday party the 27th (their birthday is the 18th but we won't get them til the 24th)we're having a BBQ with family to celebrate. So fingers crossed its a great summer for our family of 5:)
