I HOPE I WIN!!!

My cute friend Hanna is doing another give away on her blog sherbertblossom. She is giving away a $20 gift certificate for baby legs. I LOVE these. Ele has a couple pair that she wears to dance and wears with skirts. I think they are absolutely adorable. I was at a baby shower last night and we were talking about how cute they are. They also show them for boys. I don't know what I think about that, but maybe under a T shirt or something.
Wish me luck! I really hope I win!!!

Happy LATE Birthday to my Sweet Daddy!

Well, I am kind of behind on stuff, but I just wanted to post this any way. Better late than never right?!?!?
It was my sweet dad's birthday a few weeks ago, and I just wanted to tell him HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best dad and Bapa in the world! I love you so much dad, and I thank you for being such an amazing father and the most fun, silly, adoring grandpa to my kids. Ele and Phin ADORE you. I love spending time with you and them. I had such a great childhood with you and all the fun stuff we did and all the great things you taught me. You are such an inspiration to me and I know my kids will always look up too you as I do. I love to watch you play with Phin and see the smile on his face when he looks at you. Ele loves all the fun things you do with her. She can't stop talking about how you read to her the other day. She loved that. She also can't stop talking about how you were out SKATEBOARDING with the neighbor boys! You really are not an old man! You are such a leader to all the Youth in your ward and have helped so many boys become men, and helped so many youth gain a strong testimony of the church. You have had a HUGE hand in mine that is for sure. I want you to know that I truly love and respect you more than words can ever say. Thanks for being so good to mom and us girls. We are so lucky to have you. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DAD!!!

How cute are these?!?!?!

Oh my gosh! Look how cute these are! I am going crazy. My friends is giving away a free pair of booties on her blog Sherbertblossom. I love the hats for Ele, and I think the booties are darling for Phin. I am totally going to order some of these for my sister Candace when she finds out what she is having.
I want the Cowboy boots!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays. It didn't use to be, but when I started dating Jac, he changed that. He has always made Valentines Day amazing. I always had sucky boyfriends that either broke up with on Valentines, or got pissed because I didn't make a huge deal about it for him. But, my Jac always makes this day so special for me.
I love you so much Jac and I just wanted to wish you and our sweet kiddies a Happy Day. I LOVE YOU!
I also want to wish all my family and friends a happy Valentine too. I had so much fun with my fam this last week. Even though it was a hard week losing my sweet Nana, it was sure nice to be with all of you. I will miss my Sistah Tric soooooooooooo much! Time just goes by too fast when she is here.
I LOVE ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS! Have a fun day!
Love, Kel

Saying Goodbye

Why is so hard to say goodbye? I don't understand. I know that moving on from this life is a good thing, but I guess I am selfish. I am not ready for my Nana to go. I want her pain to stop, and I want her to move on, but I want her here too. She is my heart. My sisters and I have been been so blessed to have the two best grandparents in the world. If you ever met my Nana and Papa, you would understand. They were the most sweet, humble, fun, and silly people I have ever met. I have so many wonderful memories of them. They were such a huge part of our lives. We went every where with them. I can't remember a boating trip with out them. Lake Powell was a HUGE part of our summers and Nana and Papa were right there making it better. I am so blessed to have my Eleanor Marie. Our little Ele was named after my sweet Nana, and what an honor it is too her. We will always have an Ele!
I don't know how life will start again, but I know it will. It was so hard after my Papa passed away, but we seem to be making it with out him. We think about him every day, and always talk about him, but it some how has gotten easier and I know it will with Nana too. I am just not ready to not have her sweet smile in my life. My heart is aching. It is her time. I know that. She will be in a better place and always with us. It is so hard to watch her struggle for each breath. I just hope she goes soon and peacefully. My sweet mom and her brother are so strong. My mom is a machine. She just keeps going. We will be there for her and George when they fall apart.
Life is short. I have had my Nana for my whole life, but I still feel cheated of time with her. My Phin won't remember her. She adores him. She never liked his name, but she loved him and all her sweet great grandchildren.
Yesterday Candace and I were up there with the girls and Phin. I watched my sweet Ele and Ally put their little hands over Nana's sweet, warm hand and tell her they loved her. I know she heard them. She kept trying to open her eyes, but just couldn't. It isn't an easy thing to watch your loved ones pass, but I think it makes us stronger. I can honestly say that in some way I thought they would always be here. I never imagined Nana and Papa being gone. My Nana is a Rock. She has had so many trials in her life that I can't begin to think about going through. She is truly my idol. I love you more than any words can say Nana. Be at Peace. You will truly be missed.
