Pumpkin Carving Party

After 2 years of not having our annual Pumpkin Carving Party, we decided it was time to do it again. We knew Shane would want us too, given the circumstances and it would be a step forward. It was nice to be with family and it was a fun party. It was great to have Gpa. Fig there with us for a little bit and missed everyone else who couldn't make it.

Cleaning Austin's yard

On Saturday we went to help Austin clean up his yard at his house. Kenzlie also helped, she was a good helper :) It was nice being with Melisha, Kenzlie, and Marcie and spending time with them. We love all of you!!

October 25, 2010

Last Monday, 10/25/10 was the 2 year mark of Shane's passing. Its still unbelieveable that he's gone. It will never seem real. Its been a hard 2 years, but with the church and family its been pretty good. We still miss him very much. We are so grateful for the Plan of Salvation and through that we know we can see Shane again and our family will be together again someday forever. With Shane's passing there has been blessings too. The major one is that Bronson is on a mission. None of us ever thought that would happen, but because of Shane's example and legacy, Bronson is serving the Lord. We will never forget Shane and the memories we have of him. He will forever be in our hearts and always be a part of our family even tho he's gone. The things that I always remember is something Shane told me when I went to a counseling session with Glenda Horning (Gma Figs friend). Shane said, " We never stop living, we just change the way we live when life is over." He also said, " I'm really happy here Kass- this place is full of joy." When I read that, I know that everything will be okay and that he's doing good up in heaven. We love you Shaner & can't wait to see you again!!


These are some pictures from the cemetary. The officer is from Shane's squad and went through the academy together. Officer Miguel Seville stood guard at Shane's grave site all day. He took his own personal day to do this for Shane. He is truly a hero in my family's eyes and I know Shane is very grateful for this amazing act that he did for him. Thank you Officer Seville!!

Kenzlie!!

I know I've been slacking on updating the blogs, college life is just soo busy. haha jk! Here are some recent pictures of our beautiful Kenzlie :) From about 2 weeks ago. She sure is growing up and I still can't believe it! She's talking a lot more now and its the cutest thing. She can say everyones names pretty good, except mine, she calls me "Sassy" which I of course don't mind. She LOVES to dance! Its the funniest thing. She's a good dancer too, she knows how to get down! And still looking like her daddy :)

2 years...

I can't believe its been two years since Shane has been gone. It seems like forever! We are now 2 years closer to being with you and all being together as a family once again. I can't wait for that day to see you!! To see your handsome face, amazing dimpled smile, and to hear your voice/ laugh. It will be one glorious day!! We all miss you very much and always are thinking about you. We will never forget the good times we had with you and all the memories. We love you with all our hearts Shaner!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Kenzlie!!!

You have made our family so blessed by having you in our lives.
Your smile, laughter, & personality have brough joy & happiness to us.
We love you very much Kenz!!!

Peace Officer Memorial 2010

A few weeks ago we were able to go to the Annual Peace Officer Memorial. These events are fun to go to and remember & honor the fallen officers of the previous year. It was nice being on the "other side" this time and enjoying the service. It was also nice seeing and visiting with our COPS family!
