It's Raining

Actually it is pouring outside.
And I couldn't think of a better way to pass the time, then to get caught up on our "not so exciting lives".
I just might incur the wrath of my sister Heidi for blogging when she specifically told me I was not allowed to blog until she got back home (she is up visiting from Albuquerque). Be gentle with me please, I just cannot help myself. Besides isn't it kind of my sisterly duty to do things that annoy and anger you?

Heidi Is Here.

And when ever Heidi comes to town there is bound to be all sorts of adventures and family drama. It's the kind of stuff memories are made of anyway, I guess.

This past Saturday we all got together for some FREE fun at Wheeler farm.

Aunt Emily, Morgan, Sydney, Dylan and Alivia

I remember when I was little, my moms side of the family often got together and some of my fondest memories are of doing things with all my cousins. We did a lot of things together as cousins, a few of which include, trips to Lagoon, the annual Fourth of July parade in Provo, going through boxes and boxes full of Halloween costumes making each other giggle until we cried, spending time at my Uncle Deans cabin, eating thanksgiving dinners together which always included Aunt Arda's famous rainbow jello, watching Mr. Boogedy, and putting on Christmas plays.
I guess I always grew up thinking that is what I wanted our family to be like once there were little cousins to play with each other.
So it has been hard to have my sister and her family move away. I think my kids and I are missing out on so much. I miss being able to go and visit Heidi and Jon when ever I want to, I miss Morgans intelligent little mind and happy little toothless grin, I miss Sydney's adorable little fairy princess face and her sweet as ever personality, I miss watching Braden with his little china man eyes and infectious giggle. So much of our lives are unfolding in different directions, I cannot help but be a little sad.
I think that as with most things in life, change is inevitable and there is no use fighting it. So we'll just have to build our memories and make the most of the time we are given together.
I'm glad you are here Heidi, drama and all.
