Only a 1/4 of a Year Late!

I can't believe it's already been 3 months since Aaron's birthday. It was a big one this summer, so I had to document it! We had a really fun Texas Hold'em Saloon BBQ complete with a Texas style BBQ, some serious Texas Hold'em, lots of good friends and fun!

(the favors were little chocolate poker chips)

30 words that describe Aaron:

handsome, hard-working, fun, sarcastic, relaxed, honest, dad, happy, husband, friend, playful, smart, resourceful, determined, organized, unselfish, compulsive, patient, amused, witty, good-sport, trash-talker, strong, disciplined, smily, encouraging, supportive, old, content, amazing

A Typical Tuesday...

So this afternoon while I made this (times three)

my little dennis the menace did this,
and this,

and this!

He is sure is cute, though, so I can't be too mad!

Where Have I Been?

If you've wondered where I've been lately...well, I've decided to try out a whole new life! Ha, ha!

We love Joe and his sense of humor! What I really want to know, though, is why am I wife #3?

Night with the Lakers

Aaron, Zander, and I had fun at the Lakers preseason game last night. Aaron has trained Zander to be a true Laker fan! He can name most of the players and knows what numbers they are. Kobe Bryant is his favorite, and he was excited to see "the slam dunk giant" in action.

Grandpa Schu

My Grandpa Schu passed away a week and a half ago on September 17th. He would have been 96 next month. What a glorious reunion surely took place between he and my grandma!

I love my grandpa so much! He was such an amazing man and an example of so many things! He was always positive...always!! He was someone that you just loved being around because he made you feel so happy. He had a great sense of humor. He loved his family. For the past 15 years, he never missed an opportunity to tell us how much he loved my grandma and how much he missed her. My favorite story he would tell was how they met. All because he ran into a train! It's a love story straight from the "happily ever afters"!

It was so nice to be in Montana this past week with so much of my family. I love my family! I loved hearing stories about my grandpa at his funeral and remembering how amazing he truly was! I LOVE thinking of him and my grandma together...again! When I told Zander that he had died, he was so sad! He said, "But...I really wanted to see him again!"

I'm so grateful for the plan of our Heavenly Father! I'm so grateful to know that life doesn't end on this earth...that we will be reunited with those we love again, even our Father in Heaven and Savior, Jesus Christ. Otherwise, I don't know what I would tell Zander and how I would comfort his little, aching heart.

My heart is sad for the time that will pass before I can see him again. But I feel so excited for him....His aging body has been put to rest until one day it will reunite again with his spirit, but this time perfected. He is with the love of his life again...forever! And surely he is happy! As was quoted at his funeral, and as he would always say while pointing his long, crooked finger...

"And that's the truth!"
