Just before we left Kansas I had Annie chop my hair off. It is the shortest it has ever been. This is the first hair cut that I have loved even after I washed it and done it myself. Thanks Annie for doing such a great job!!!
Okay so we have made it to Idaho! We have actually been here a few days now. I got home from girls camp at 3:05 pm on Thursday and we were packed and in the car by 8:30pm. We got to Idaho 2 hours before Blake's brother Blaine arrived on the plane from Africa. He was delayed a day so we were able to make it. We have been doing lots of fun things here. But the bad thing is that my computer power supply cord died about 3 weeks ago and I ordered one from ebay and it just finally got to Topeka so I will have to get it shipped to me and then I can post some pictures. Until then we wanted to let everyone know that we are alive and not missing the humidity or the weather radio going off back in Topeka.
Today is the 2nd anniversary of our sweet little man's death. We miss him very much and love him even more. This morning at breakfast we all told about what we remember and miss about him. Although we don't have to many memories we still have some. We miss being able to hold and snuggle him. He used to snuggle right into your neck and it was so sweet. When we first brought him home I put him in the bouncy seat and turned around for a minute to do something, when I turned back around he was hanging half off cause he was so little he didn't fit in it. Blake loved to give them there bath. I have never given Keagan a bath, Blake did them all. Paige misses seeing him sleep and being able to hold him. With our Eternal perspective we have grown to not be so heartbroken. We know that we will see him again.
To my sweet little man: Mommy loves you and is excited for the day that I will again be able to hold you in my arms and see you and 
Rylee together again. I love you so much sweetheart.
Tonight we are going to go to the park and let go of 41 balloons (1 for every day he was with us). We thought that this time we would take a marker with us and let Paige draw him a picture on one and write messages to him. I will post those pictures later when we are in Idaho.
It is also my dad's birthday and my niece's 1st birthday today so Happy Birthday guys!!!
It is Blake's brother Blaine's birthday today. He is currently serving his mission in Gahna Africa. He comes home in 2 weeks and we will see him a couple days after that. We are so excited to see him again. Happy Birthday Blaine!!
This is a picture of Blaine and Keagan a week or so before he left.
I have not had time to post recently so today is blog post overload. Make sure you scroll down cause there are a few new ones.
On Thursday Blake turned 28!!!!!! He is getting old. That day I surprised him by showing up at the school after his class and took him for lunch at Paisanos. It is a cute Italian restaurant (and if you are seated before 11:30am your meals are half off!) Then we went home and had cupcakes with the girls. That night a nasty storm was supposed to roll in (but didn't) so we spent some of the night with friends at the Hoyos' house.
Then Last night we had a birthday BBQ/pool party for him with some friends. It was a blast. Our girls swam for about 3 hours so they fell right to sleep when their heads hit the pillow.
Rylee is a fish when it comes to water. Ever since we got these water wings for her she won't get out of the pool. She even jumps off the edge when we are not looking. Last night she was shivering so bad but she still would not get out and warm up. She is a little nut!!
On Wednesday I asked Rylee to get the cheerios out for breakfast and I walked into the kitchen to see her sitting on the floor eating them. Guess she was to hungry to wait for us!!!

There is a functioning carousel here in Topeka and it turned 100 years old yesterday. So after Paige's ballet class the girls and I headed over for some fun. We got to ride the carousel, Rylee was really nervous at first but by the end of it she loved it. Then we went and got a free cupcake and pop. Next we headed over to get a balloon animal. Rylee got a bear and Paige got a dog. As soon as we got a picture Rylee let her drop and it popped. The girls then went and colored. There was a huge line for the face painting but being the girly girls they are we stood there and waited. Paige got a ballet slipper and Rylee got a dragonfly. Last stop was to make a bead bracelet. By the end we were all tired and hot (it was 90 degrees outside). But it was the best. It was great to go and just spend time with my girls.
