We spent most of today with Stephan in Portland before Kelsey flew back to Arizona. We had a little picnic by the river and just enjoyed eachother's company. It was very nice outside and very relaxing.
Allen's Funeral
August 14, 2010
Today was my brother's funeral in Vancouver, Washington. It was a really hard day, however it didn't really hit me until the viewing session started. I thought maybe I would be okay since we had already seen Allen the day before at the funeral home. However, it was much harder today and I wish Chris could have been there with me. It was just so weird seeing him lay there and knowing that we would never see him again on this earth. There were many tears shed and many thoughtful words said that helped us remember the wonderful life he had. My brother, Carsten, played a beautiful piano piece called Tribute that he dedicated to Allen. Even though it was such a hard and emotional day it is very comforting to know that he is with our Heavenly Father, watching over us each day and that we will be able to see him again one day!
We LOVE and MISS YOU ALLEN!!!!
Meeting the Family...
We all were fortunate enough to stay at my aunt and uncle's house in Hilsboro, OR. It was kinda fun and nice to be all together. I think there were a total of 15 of us staying there!! My Grandma and Aunt cooked some amazing food and we all just got to enjoy each other's company.
Just some of the YuMmInEsS that we got to enjoy!

1-Month Old
Today was a big day for Tyler! Not only did he just turn 1 month old, he rode on his FIRST airplane! Tyler and I were fortunate enough to fly to Portland for Allen's funeral. He did so well on the plane, just slept away. He is growing so fast already. He is smiling a lot more and is a lot more alert as well. One thing that is a lot different with Tyler is that he is a lot more fussy. We think he has mild colic and just wants to be held a lot. The doctor recommended trying Gripe Water to see if that would help...and so far it seems to be helping, a little bit at least!
Too Funny...
We were at Chris' grandparent's house in Boise and Parker found this little toy tea party set. I looked over at one point and he was sitting next to the little tiny table eating string cheese, I think. It was too funny, but when I tried to get a picture he moved. This was what I got...
In Loving Memory of...
May 31, 1985 - August 6, 2010
My older brother, Allen, passed away at the young age of 25. He was such a great older brother and always put his family first. He loved riding motorcycles and basically anything that went fast! Sadly, the last time all 6 of us kids were able to be together was for Christmas in 2008. That was a very fun year that I will never forget. It was the year that Allen met his very first nephew and it was the year that we were all together in who knows how long. You will be greatly missed...
High Schhol Reunion
Chris' 10-year High School Reunion was this weekend so we drove over to Boise for it. Now we didn't go to the actual reunion, but his group of friends that he hung out with had a little reunion of their own the night before. It was pretty fun and I got to meet most of his friends and their families. We just had a nice BBQ and let the kids play around in the backyard. Parker had an absolute BLAST!! His favorite thing to do, I think, was jump with the kids on the trampoline...we may just have to get one ourselves oneday because he couldn't have been happier!
First Bath!
Tonight was Tyler's FIRST real bath! He didn't seem to mind too much...
...At least until we actually started to bathe him!
Great-Grandparents
Chris' Grandpa and Step-Grandma Faris came up from Pocatello to visit everyone and meet Tyler. We had a picnic at Porter Park and had fun catching up!
