Merry Christmas Tyrel!

My brother Tyrel passed away 4 years ago last may. Christmas hasn't been the same since he died. Every year we decorate his headstone. He was always the one that helped my mom and dad put up the outside lights, so my mom puts up solar lights, and we put the same decorations my mom uses on her tree, on the garland we wrap around the headstone. I also have the same wreath hanging on my door that is on his headstone!We also top my parents tree with his cowboy hat, and put the Christmas in Heaven ornament on it. I always miss him so much more this time of year, but I'm glad I know that he is spending Christmas with Jesus.

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below.
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear;
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring.
For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
I cannot tell you of the splendor or the peace inside this place
Can you imagine Christmas with our Savior, face to face?

I will ask him to light your spirit as I tell him of your love.
So then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.
So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I Miss you Tyrel and Love you so much!!

It's Christmas....

This Saturday we went to Maci's christmas show. She dances with Diamond Talent and they put on an awesome Christmas show every year. Maci did so good, and the show really does help get you in the Christmas spirit. We loved it!!


On Sunday we went to the temple and looked at the christmas lights. It was so much fun to go to the temple together. I love being at the temple, especially this time of year!


also... we put up our christmas decorations a LONG time ago, but I decided I'd post some pictures of them!

Trip to Tulsa, OK!

I took a trip out to Tulsa to visit my sister Kali, Cedi and Jonathan this weekend. It was so much fun to see where they live, and get to spend some time with them! Cedi is getting so big, and so stinkin' cute! She was so much fun to play with. She warmed up to me really quick. I was so glad since i didn't have a ton of time there. I left on thurs. and got back yesterday. Anyways... we became pretty dang good buds pretty fast. She is hilarious. While i was cutting Kali's hair, Cedi had some pudding, it kept her pretty busy as you can tell by the first picture!:)She's so full of it! Kali and Jonathan had a work party to go to Friday night so I stayed home with Mercedi. We played and played and watched Little Einsteins. She even let me put her down, and she stayed asleep through the whole night. I was pretty proud of myself.:) On sat. me and Kali went shopping at the mall. It was so much fun to spend some time together, shopping!!! We found some really great deals, we are amazing at that!:) Then Sat. night we went to RUNTS for dinner it was delish. Sunday we went to church and just hung out. It's crazy that the church is true even in Tulsa haha. Cedi was so cute, after the prayers in sacrament she would scream "amen" haha she cracks me up! Monday we went shopping for a few things in the morning, then put up Kali's christmas decorations after meeting Jonathan for lunch. Then I headed home last night at five thirty. I left Cedi crying because i had given her some chapstick (my bad) and her mom took it away from her when i got out of the car. It was so sad to see her cry when I was leaving, I know she just wanted the chapstick, but it still made me feel SOO bad! I miss her already, but it is good to be home with Trevor. I missed him like crazy. Hopefully my next trip he comes with me! :)
