Momentum

Tyler and I got to go rock climbing on a double date with Rick and Angie. We went up to Salt Lake to Momentum Gym. This place is awesome. We had a blast to say the least. I am so weak and have NO muscles so I was not so great at climbing, but everyone else did awesome. Tyler is so quick and good, especially for hardly ever climbing and having no training. He did awesome. It was so fun to hang out with Rick and Angie again. Thanks guys for using your free passes on us and hanging out with us for a night!!!

The adventures of Cade and Kaia

Doesn't that sound like a great show. Well let me tell you it was a full filled week. I had Rob's kids for 5 days and I am sure exhausted. We did so many fun things though.

Lehi Legacy Pool
(This place is amazing and we spent all day Saturday there)

This was Aspen first time in a pool. She LOVED it to say the least. She will be a little fishy just like her MOM!!! I am so tempted to get a pass here next winter. Anyone want to join me?

For those that have lost a child

I got this song off of Gracie's playlist. As I read the lyrics I began crying. My little brother Danny was taken from us when I was a little girl. Seeing Gracie's family go through this tough trial makes my heart break and brings back so many memories of Danny. Songs like this make it eaiser for loved ones to know their baby is being taken care of and that we will see them again. I never knew this but "I Am A Child Of God" has a special verse that was written for parents who have lost a child. I thought I would post those lyrics:

I am a child of God and He has called me home.
My earthly journey's through but still, I do not walk alone.
He leads me, guides me, walks beside me, helps me find the way.
He welcomed me with open arms. I live with Him today.


I am a child of God and I have gone ahead.
My earthly life was brief but oh, such peace and love you gave.
You loved me, held me, stood beside me and though I cannot stay.
You gave me much to help me and I live with Him today.


I am a child of God and I will wait for you.
Celestial glory shall be ours, if you can but endure.
I'll lead you, guide you, walk beside you.
Help you find the way.
I'll welcome you with open arms
One bright Celestial day.

This is my cousin Michelle little girl Gracie. We will surely miss her!

Gracie Jean Gledhill

"Our Little Sweetheart"

Gracie Jean Gledhill, age 11 months, passed away Monday, March 2, 2009 due to complications from a congenital heart defect.

Gracie was born March 20, 2008 to Tom and Michele Gledhill in Salt Lake City, Utah. Words cannot express the love we have for our Gracie Girl. She captured the hearts of everyone who knew her. Her eyes looked into your soul. We cherished her smile, her sweet spirit and were in awe of her continual fight for life.

Gracie was our sunshine. Her light and amazing story was contagious. She deeply touched hundreds of people worldwide through her blog. She endured more trials, pain and affected more people than most of us will do in a lifetime. We are better people because of her and look forward to being a forever family.

She is survived by her parents, her loving brothers Max and Taylor and her sweet sister Callie. Grandparents; Grant (Arlene) Snow, Connie (Gary) Mayer, Katherine (Theron) Wiser, and Rhett Gledhill, along with many aunts, uncles and cousins.

We want to thank all of the amazing doctors and nurses from Primary Children’s Medical Center who not only cared for Gracie, but loved her too. We will be forever grateful for their service.

Funeral services will be Saturday, March 7, 2009 , 12:00 noon at the Highland South Stake Center, 9600 North 6800 West in Highland, Utah. There will be a viewing Friday evening from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the same location and from 11:00-11:45 a.m. prior to services. Services provided by Warenski Funeral Home. Interment: Highland City Cemetery.

Goodbye sweet girl……until we meet again. We love you!!

(Gracie's obituary will be in the Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune tomorrow (Thursday).)

Is it really worth it?

Aspen is so ready for a new car seat. She is only 13 lbs and not even a year yet so we need to get one that can be rear facing, but also turn into front facing when she gets a little older. We want a car seat that will last through 3 kids (since I know car seats only last 5-6 years).

So Tyler and I went shopping and fell in love with the Britax. Not only is it rated number 1 for safety, but I love all the cool features it has. Microfiber cover, it clicks when it tight enough and I love the side crash panels that protect their face if you get in a crash. So the big question is, IS IT REALLY WORTH THE EXTRA COSTS?

Please leave you comments about the Britax car seats. If you don't think its worth it tell me why and leave a suggestion of a car seat you love! Thanks!
