New Pictures!

I finally wiped the dust off of my Nikon and took some pictures of the kids. Mia is my cheesy little poser and always has a smile for the camera. Mac, on the other hand, is hard to capture (think "wild goose chase"). I did get a couple of his cute little face though!




Sloan was napping while the I took the other pictures, but here he is in his chair with his typical face- a sweet little smile! This little guy is such a sweet little chill baby. We love, love, love him so much! Half of the time I don't know when he really wakes up because he will hang out in his crib (with out making a peep) forever. He doesn't mind the carseat anymore so life is GOOD!


We went to the neighborhood park and they finally got a toddler swing. This is what these two LIVE for!


And here is Sloaney just hanging out.

Trevor


We were devastated to learn that one of my oldest friend's/our dear friend, Trevor, passed away last month. Sadly my best friend, Holly, is without a husband and a father to her four adorable boys. Trevor was one of the nicest, most postive guys I have ever known! He lived a life of service and generosity, always trying to help others.

His family is making a Memory Book of Trevor and this is what I wrote:

I can't think of too many high school memories that didn't involve Trevor. There were so many group dates, EFY's, stake dances, high school dances and football/basketball games. Trevor always supported his friends in their sporting events. Priebe in basketball, John in football, Ian at Hoopfest and so on. I remember him even coming to my young women volleyball games. Now that is a good friend! We were always at the Stephenson's House just hanging out or being goofy/crazy kids. I can remember beating another car full of kids "off the line" in his mom's car and then slowing down just in time for the other car to get pulled over (I never said we were the smartest). I can even remember playing with him at recess [in 2nd grade] and thinking he was such a nice boy.

I am forever grateful for the friends I had in high school. Trevor was the kind of friend that made you think, "I know that my Heavenly Father loves me because of people like him in my life."

Trevor was such a great person with a huge heart. He was always serving others with a great big smile on his face. I was lucky enough to get to see him being a wonderful husband and an amazing father. He and Holly were a great match and made the perfect team, as parents. The love he had for his family was so obvious to us. He was a great example to me, and I learned so much from him.


If you knew him, you might enjoy this SLIDESHOW. He had a beautiful family and life.
