i DO have a scrappy share!

I just realized I never did post the mini album I did of my cousin's fam (angel's fam) It was a suprise for sarah that I gave her a few weeks before angel's transplant when they were in isolation. I had the honor of being able to go over there a few times to help sarah out so she could do things like go grocery shopping! I had a blast spending so much time with the boys and I miss those weekly visits! but anyways Nick e-mailed me some fam pics most of them of course taken by sarah and here's what I did with them....










aren't they all just so stinkin adorable?! ok more packing....

So so much has been going on!

let's start with the first thing...Angel got his transplant and is doing amazing!!! It hasn't been without a lot of tough times for the family though and continued prayers are so appreciated!! they have a public blog where you can check his progress and donate if you are able.... http://angelswings708.blogspot.com/
if you head over there you will also see that they welcomed sweet baby Haven this past wed! she is healthy and so is Sarah and she is gorgeous!!! the best part was that they made an exception to let angel go down to labor and delivery to meet his new baby sister! Such an awesome blessing for such an incredible family!!! so besides checking on the family every 15 min from the family blog I've been also getting things in order to move, packing and all. all by myself of course because Andy is in Florida until the day we move pretty much so I have a full and stressful plate to say the least.


I also had some family from Utah come down so I went to the beach with another set of cousins for the day and we had a blast! It was the most perfect beach weather ever! I was also excited cause I know it's gonna be a while before I get to go to the beach again because Arizona has no beaches just rocks and cactus :(. Last week I did go to Oklahoma for my cousin's wedding. that was so nice to be able to see all of them and spend time with them since we never get to see that group of cousins! also my brother made the trip from Missouri where he is now stationed so I got to see him too!!! talk about icing on the cake! Moose spent the days I was gonna at camp bow wow, a doggy daycare by our house. funny I know but so necessary since we figured out he gets anxiety when we leave like that and since Andy was working we had no choice so we got him neutered and they interviewed him and off he went to camp bow wow! he he it was pretty cool though because they had web cams where you can check on them so of course I was on the computer checking on my baby a lot! while I was in Oklahoma I got to do some family pics for my brother so I was super stoked about that and quite happy with some of the shots I got considering Matthew is 5 and David is 3 and trying to get boys to listen is nearly impossible (they are very well behaved they just don't wanna stand still or anything like that!) so I just let them do their thing and this is what we got....








I also got a new supply of yummy scrappy stuff for my birthday but since I had to pack up the scrapbook room yesterday looks like I won't get to have any fun with it yet :( but soon because we only have 7 more days till the BIG move! we're so excited and yet I'm kinda sad at the same time because I am a Cali girl and have been forever and it's so hard to even think that this time next week I won't be a California resident anymore!!! wow that's just crazy but change can be good and I think this move as sad as it is to be far away from a lot of people we care about is going to be such a good thing for us and for that we are super excited!! So off to do more packing! Don't forget to check out sweet angel's blog and give if you are able! I promise it's going to the most deserving family out there!
