You will be missed Justin Terry 1980 ~ 2010

For those of you that know Justin Terry you will understand what a great loss this is. Justin passed away Tuesday, July 6th. I am so sad and I can't believe this has really happened.

The first time my family met Justin was while we were building our home in Woodland Hills 25 years ago. My dad was busy building away when he heard the crash of a bike, poor Justin was going too fast(surprise :) ) around the Hyatt corner and wrecked pretty good. My dad rushed over, not knowing who this little boy was he took him over to at the time was the Wright's home and fixed him up. Im sure this was not the first time and defenetly not the last of Justin's wrecks and brusies. Justin would come down and hang out with my dad helping around the house and playing in the dirt.

We got to know the Terry family really well, we spent every summer in Lake Powell together. Everything the Terry family touched they mastered, especially Justin! I swear there wasn't anything he couldn't do! I will always remember all the fun times, staying up late talking, playing cards, (scum seemed to be the Lake Powell favorite) butt ball, sand castles. Justin always made things so much more fun, his fun personality and his awesome smile. He always made everyone laugh and the trip so much more fun. Even though I haven't talked or seen Justin for a while since life has gotten all of us pretty busy, I will surely miss him. I feel so bad that he was in such pain and felt like there was nothing left for him. I am happy that we have such an amazing plan that will make it possible for all of us to see Justin again and that Justin is in no more pain and happy with his Heavenly Father.

My heart and prayers go out the the Terry family, Wesley, Jessie and Kadence. I am so sorry for your loss.

Good by Justin! We'll see you on the other side!

Beautiful Woodland Hills

This will always be "HOME" It is so beautiful!

4 months old

I can't believe Easton is already 4 months. He has turned into such a happy baby! (as long as he is fed and not tired!) I was so worried that he was going to cry for 6 months like Carson but he seems to have gotten over that stage! Easton is so smiley! He has the biggest dark blue eyes with the longest curly eyelashes that just make you smile by just looking at him! Carson and Ellie still love him a little too much, Easton will definitely be a tough one that is for sure!We love you Easton and are so thankful you are in our family!!*Easton can roll over to his sides*

*Loves to talk and laugh*

*Loves to be held*

*Has found his feet*

*Always chewing on his hands *

*Loves to chew on blankets*

*He only likes his Binky when he is tired and as soon as he falls asleep he spits it out*

*He has a bit of a soft/flat spot on his right back/side of his head so I have been propping him up when he sleeps on the opposite side to help fix it. (cross your fingers)*

*He will sit in his bouncer, saucer and bumbo for a bit, if he's in a good mood he will stay longer*

*He is eating 5 ounces every 3 hours. He is on a sensitive formula that has rice in it, which is nice that he is still only eating 5 ounces because it's a little pricey. It keeps his tummy fuller longer and helps with the acid reflux*

*He is ALWAYS so smiley*

*He loves to snuggle*
*His nickname is Bub*

Easton's Stats:
15.41 lbs
25.6 in
The Dr. said that out of 10 boys he would be taller than 7 of them. Crazy, maybe he did get some of the Hanson genes!

We had some of our friends over for a BBQ and to watch the Jazz game. It was so much fun just talking and eating. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. I am so happy my parents were able to meet these great families! Thanks for the fun evening everyone!

~ Mother's Day ~

I have the best hubby in the world! I love him so much and I am so thankful for how hard we works for me and our family!
Just half of the grandkids plus one extra! This is Austin Lund, he loved my dad! We sure missed Brooke, Brandon and kids!

I have the best Mom in the world! If I could describe her in one word it would be EVERY. She came to EVERY game, program, any event I had growing up. She has helped me through EVERY hardship in my life. She has helped with EVERY baby, move, date night and just being there for someone I can talk to. (both of my parents have been so amazing this way, I am so lucky!) She is a wonderful Nana and all of her grandkids just love her! I am so lucky to have a Mom who cares and is so in tune with our feelings and makes us all feel loved. I love you mom! Happy Mothers Day!My Grandma is the best! I am so happy that we live so close and get to spend so much time with her and Mac. I love you grandma! Happy Mother's Day G.G.I couldn't ask for a better Mother in-law. Merilee is a very sweet person. I am so lucky to be apart of their family. I love you Merilee. Happy Mother's Day!

It was so nice to have my parents here for Mother's Day. I didn't know they were coming until the last minute! I was so excited. We had Jon, Delena, Noelle, the Lunds, Mac and G.G. and Monty and Kim. It was a very nice day. It is so nice to FINALLY have room to put people so we are not on top of each other, the best part is that we can send all the kids down stairs! :)

~ Birthday/Mother's day pictures ~

It is so stressful for me to try and get 3 kids ready for pictures and then take them myself. When it is your kids they won't listen to you. I get so uptight taking my own kids pictures, very frustrating. Carson did really good and Easton did OK but getting Ellie to smile and look at me was hard and then getting them all to look at me and smile at the same time was a joke! This is what we ended up with, not too bad I guess!

Easton's Blessing

We blessed Easton on April 11th. It was such a nice day. It was so nice to have our families here. Easton did really well, he didn't even make a peep, Jon said his eyes were just huge watching everyone. Todd did and amazing job. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who is worthy to bless our kids! Sorry, I am still not posting any pictures of me yet, Is till need to lose a lot of weight before I show my face! :) Sadly Todd is in all the pictures with me so I can't post him either! :) :0 :)
