2 years and going strong

Today was mine and Claytons 2 year anniversary.  It started out like any other Monday, I did laundry and got the kids going for the day and Clayton fixed breakfast.  In the afternoon though we took the kids to his parents since Cindy convinced us to let them take them for the night. Brianna I had no problem but its the first night away from Preston. I just hope its going okay. We then went and explored a little bit finding a lake that we could hike to. Talked about what type of area we want to plant permanent roots here in MT. We then went to craggy range bar and grille for dinner where we discussed what might happen when the kids move out (disappear and go to weird places to try their foods). Then home to be old people or nerds. I cross stitched and he played assassins creed with the volume turned up lol.
May sound like nothing to you but I loved this day. Thank you Will and Cindy for taking the kids and giving us a calm night.
Also Preston started taking tiny steps in between holding onto things.
In the tree picture I was taking a picture of a wood pecker.

Mother's Day

Although I woke up before Clayton got up, it has been a good mother's day so far. Preston let me sleepbin an extra hour.Called my grandma and my mom.  Went to church where they handed out roses to all mothers, also got tulips from Clayton. We went to my inlaws house where I mowed the back yard. I got told not to but I actually have come to enjoy mowing. Gets me outside and exercising. After that we just sat around and enjoyed each others company until dinner time. Then we discussed the kids staying the night the next night since me and Clayton will be celebrating our 2nd anniversary.   Itll be our first night away from our little man but hopefully itll be relaxing. Happy mother's day to my two best moms. Betty Denise Davis, and Cindy Lou Schmidling. And the rest of the moms out there.

Girly girls

On may 18th bri will be having her first dance recital. Us mother's are scared that the girls will freeze on stage but they look so darn cute in their outfits. They were so excited. Bris first wear once and put in closet forever outfit is hear :)

Growing up so fast

Yesterday little man turned 9 months. He's getting into everything and moving so fast. We don't have his height and weight yet (I'm waiting for his dr appt in two weeks) So bug hug is 20 pounds 8 ounces and 28 1/2 inches long.

Last happy moment before Boston

Before we got a bad call about uncle Adam and aunt Adrianne we had a 10 minute trip to the park on Monday. And Preston got his first swing ride.

Grandpa day(s)

They haven't seen grandpa since Christmas and grandpa needed a grandbaby fix. Hearing about Adam and Adrianne had(has) us under some stress along with everything else and instead of grandpa coming up for the weekend, I loaded the kids and drove down on Tuesday. Grandpa left this morning for Boston but he got to watch movies with bri and let Preston poke at his face :)

2013 can end now

How much more does The Lord think we can handle? Hopefully not to much more cause its starting to hurt and I mean HURT!

Today in Boston some sick person planned an event so horrific. At the Boston marathon explosives went off near the finish line.

My dad called me to ask me if I was watching the news and then told me this 2013 b#*>{ had another freaking litter. (Just an expression). My brother Adam and his wife Adrianne where watching the marathon at the finish line.

What I was told from my dad that Adam got shrapnel in his legs and Adrianne's shoes were blown off her feet and her heels were messed up. They've both been through surgery and unfortunately they are both at different hospitals.

My mother will be flying into Boston at about 4 pm tomorrow and Adrianne's parents will be flying into Boston around 6 am tomorrow.

I will update this post as I get information and if they know information about each other as I do not want them to find out anything about each other through my blog.

Thank you for your prayers!!

Adam and Adrianne are in very good spirits and will soon be together. Adam is being released/transferred to Adrianne's hospital today. He up and walking with a walker or crutches. I'm hoping to get more information on Adrianne later.

On the second news picture where the heart is drawn you can see (I do believe) Adrianne and Adam is the one hovering over her. They are both in white.

This picture shows where Adam had his skin for graft and a couple areas where they took shrapnel out. And obviously some major bruises.

Here is my sister Adrianne's story:

Thank you for all of the love and support this past week. It is true that Adam and I were attacked and dismembered by the second bomb on Monday. My foot was blown off and Adam was left with tons of shrapnel in both legs. We were awake and remember every screaming gory detail of the events following. I have since had two major surgeries where, as some of you know though tears and phone calls, they ...had no choice but to take my left foot. Learning to walk, stand and pee again is a real struggle. I'm thankful for all my late night oxygen party friends who have flown out, been here, taken the time, to curl up in bed with me . And BOSTON DOCTORS ARE SO BADASS! I have moments of sadness and pure rage that I will never dance the same but my friends (you) keep me going ever day!! love you!!

 

Again we thank you so much for the love and prayers!! It has meant so much to Adam and Adrianne and our families. We are so very thankful that the people responsible for this have been captured and will pay for what they did!

You know at the very beginning of this I asked how much more does The Lord think we can handle? I was reminded tonight that The Lord is good and lets the devil show his evil work just a little so that he can show how much more powerful he is. The devil may have set two bombs and killed 4 people all together but God has pulled this country together to show how much love we have for each other and is healing 160+.
