Indian Summer

Septembers are always beautiful in the pacific northwest. The Saturday before Tucker passed away Dallin was in a soccer tournament and they took second, he did great. Faith played in the track dirt the entire time and collected tiny rocks. She was a mess. Also, my good friend Beth took me out on the town in Seattle in style to celebrate my birthday. We went to dinner and to see Josh Groban. Kylee snapped a few pictures but the camera was on the manual setting and she didn't realize it. So they are not the best, but still a fun memory. Also Dallin and Jensen started school. Dallin is now in 8th grade and Jensen is now a junior! Yikes!








I am blessed to have wonderful family and friends who truly carry me and our family during difficult trials.  The day of my birthday there were so many tokens of love and affection.  I am grateful for all those that take the time and effort.  The Zunigas gave me this beautiful orchid, in the color purple to remind me of Tucker.   Also the days after Tucker's passingour family received several dinners, cards, flowers, calls and visits from neighbors and friends.  Words are inadequate to express the gratitude we feel for their service to our family, but thank you so much:)

Spencer gave me flowers and a gift card to the Cheesecake factory!

Kylee gave me a cake plate and made me a chocolate cake.

Jeff and the kids gave me a new lens for my camera and Jeff also planned a date night with the Lewis's and the Zuniga's. 

Kris gave me a fair themed gift basket with fudge, fair tickets and homemade jam (that's already gone )

and more flowers

Kylee's yummy chocolate cake!

Sweet Deanna gave me a gift card to cold stone and beautiful flowers!

and wonderful cards in the mail, one from my friend Katie (card above) and another from my mom
who always sends cold hard cash :)  I also received so many texts from loved ones. 

My sweet friend Dawn also stopped by and gave me a beautiful gourmet cupcake with imported sparkling pink lemonade, but it was eaten too fast to get a picture!  Thanks so much wonderful friend!
