8 years and counting

Happy Anniversary baby! I know it was a week ago, but I finally found the time to update. I can't believe it's been 8 years..(seems like a lot longer most days, and on others it feels brand new)

We made a great little family..the 3 Musketeers!

Through all sorts of adventures we've stuck together!

I love you, Mr. Caufield!

Happy Birthday Mom

So, my mom, my idol, my role-model is celebrating her birthday today...I won't tell you how old she really is..I'll just tell you that she was 27 when I was born! She's a great mom, a wonderful grandma..and a kick-butt woman!

(No this is not a picture of her and my dad)

Happy Birthday momma......I love you!

Goofball!

Macen was getting ready foe bed last night....He put both of his legs in one leg of his boxer shorts...He thought it was funny!

Here he is groovin'! It is definitely summer!

Spring 2009

Here's my baby...Spring 2009..everyone take an "AWWWW" moment!

Commander Luther "Meat" Hook III

Commander Luther "Meat" Hook III
5 August 1964- 22 May 2009

We lost one of our own here in Fallon a few weeks ago. Our XO, on his way back from California with 3 of his daughters, died in a plane crash. We all loved "Meat" He was a man's man, a gentleman, a great husband and a wonderful father. The following was written on the program for his memorial:

High Flight

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings,
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds-and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of- wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.


He will be missed

See you soon my love!

My incredible husband is in Japan starting his new life as a chief aboard the Curtis Wilbur! Macen and I miss him and we can't wait till we're with him again. I am so proud of him. We've been married 8 years on Tuesday! Can you believe it? I am truly blessed to have him!

So..I'm 40!

Yes, my friends..I am officially almost to the top of the hill (before going over it, or under it) It's been great so far..no complaints..except I have to pee a lot more....Anyway..every year I pick a theme. It was tough this year. My life seems to change at any time..and I realized that I can't do it alone. I was reading a magazine and I found a sign..what it said stayed with me, so I chose it..Ladies and Gentlemen, my theme for my 40th year:

I hope you hear my little prayer
To keep me in your loving care
To be my guide in all I do
And to bless all those who love me too!

Thank you to all who wished me well..and a HUGE thanks to Mom and Tracie for the best birthday ever!

Macen

So,,,what type of Mom dresses her son in a white shirt to go to an ice cream reception!

Happy Mothers Day

My Grandma and Grandpa's head stone..We miss you Grandma!

Happy mothers day mom!

Idaho Falls

We went to Idaho Falls to help my niece move out of her apartment. Since it had been a very long time since I had been there, Rich took us on a tour. The Picture above is the Idaho Falls temple. The picture blow is the HUGE fountain in the center of town

My VERY Talented Aunt Karen

Okay, so I have some pretty awesome Aunts. All of them have something that I admire about them. My Aunt Karen is so talented! She can write a poem better than anyone. She came to the shower with the coolest gift I have seen in a long time.. a "Junk drawer " kit. Below is the poem she wrote to go with it:

And here is what it came in...there was anything you could possibly need for your junk drawer..My Aunt Karen is the COOLEST!
