Dance.. Life.. and Tears...

Saw this movie:



Seriously, the dancing was the BIZ ness! Loved it! Could've done without the lame story line..

Best part of the movie- the lead guy and these 2 in front:




Love, love, love Twitch and Moose!

Me & My Bestie with our 3D glasses on...




Best part was getting busted for not turning in my glasses.. boo hoo. Also, saw an old friend from high school- loves to you KJ!



Moving on.. This sweet girl turned 2!! Srsly, where does the time go?




There was some partyin to be had:








She got some new heels from Granny..











Papa entertaining Ava and Miss Pretty





Cake made by Corkus - Betty Crocker


2 Year Stats:

28 lbs- 70 %
30 inches- 70%

Things she loves:

Shoes
The Fake Food set Uncle Lev & Linds bought
Jill (the babysitter)
Dancing
Mucka (milk)
Brown Sugar & Honey Sausage
Talking (mostly the word "Mommy")
Ticking off her brother
Hitting her brother
Eebee (some creepy puppet on demand)

I still remember the day she was born.. she is the princess, diva and queen of the house. Happy Birthday Sissy!

Now onto the tears...

This little guy had to go home:














Spidey was one of the pallbearers









He was born healthy and happy to 2 of the most amazing people I know.. Ben ( Duke's brother) and Inga... He got sick and they found out he had DiGeorge.

He never got better and was needed somewhere else.. I was honored and privileged to write the obituary..

After the services were over.. we needed some serious downtime- so we did what anyone would do after a cry fest- eat at a buffet.



Sister in Laws... Mia, Inga and Yours truly.













As with any experience with death.. it made me realize life is short. Kiss and hold your babies. Love your family. Take care of each other. Trust in the Lord that everything happens for a reason. And most importantly LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!

JENN! I got all caught up on your blog the other day and then signed out before leaving a comment. I just wanted to say that I love you, think you are so cool, and that I'm sorry to hear about the little baby in your family. My heart broke for all of you, especially the parents. I'm so sorry.

I love you and as always, your blog entries made happy!

So sorry for your loss of your sweet little baby nephew. It really is so heartbreaking when the little ones are called home, I can't imagine what his parents must be going through. I pray peace and comfort for them and will remember your whole family, especially them in my prayers!
