So Beautiful!!!!

Here are a few of my most favorite pictures of J. She was "So Beautiful"... These are on my fridge so I look at them everyday. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her and miss her. Like Carly and Haley, I can't believe it has been 2 years. It feels like forever since I have seen her or heard her voice. What you would give for "One More Day".... She had the biggest heart of anyone I knew. She constantly was thinking of others before herself. Sending little notes and gifts just to say she loved you. One time she told my kids to call her "Aunt Santa" , we just laughed. You never knew when something was going to show up on your porch. My kids adored her. And still to this day Halle asks " Mom, when is Jesus going to bring Aunt Jenny back? I really miss her. Tell him to hurry up." I am trying Halle, I wish he'd hurry too. I miss her terribly and not a day goes by I don't think about her. Love you J

My Sunshine

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine.

You make me happy

When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear,

How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night, dear,

As I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms.

When I awoke, dear,

I was mistaken And I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine,

My only sunshine.

You make me happy

When skys are grey.

You'll never know, dear,

How much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away.

Please don't take my sunshine away.

When Jen was in Tawian I used to sing this to her. She would cry. Now this song has more meaning then any other song in the world.

Haleys post- Our beautiful sister.

Wow. Such a hard time of year. I never really realized how long and hard this journey was. Not a day goes by that I don't think about my beautiful sister! I really miss her a lot. It is a tough time right around this time of year. I can't believe it will be 2 years here soon. I wish I could express how much I miss her but I can't put it into words. I have all these memories that are slowly slipping away from me which is making losing her that much worse!

* Everyone has heard the bird story of course. When she saw soe type of bird and turned to ryan asking him if that type of bird was extinct.

* When Lords of the rings first came out Ryan and I were talking about how much we loved the characters and story line. I think Jen felt a little left out so from the back she said "Don't you wanna hear my thoughts on Droadora and frotamire."

* She loved it when I styled her hair. What can I say I am amazing. I would spend hours curling her hair and she would love it. Then I would get calls saying she hated me not there because her hair never turned out how I did it. She always made me feel special. Like I was one of a kind.

* What I love the most is when my dad and mom will look at me and say wow you look like jenny or you laugh just like jenny. Nothing could make me more happy then a compliment like that! She is the most amazing person and I am honored.

*This is also a funny little story... I was tending Brylee last year. We were having a princess sleep over. I went to pick her up and she was asking about jesus and how you can talk to him. I told her she didn't need a cell phone to talk to jesus she just needed to pray. A couple minutes later she was playing with my phone and this is what I hear.

"Oh hello jesus"

"Oh yeah? Really" What are you doing" Oh fun" I miss you" Bye"

I was trying not to laugh as I turned around and asked her what she was doing.

"Oh I just got off the phone with jesus he is playing golf with jenny then they are going to watcha movie." I love being around all my nieces and nephews. They are so close to the spirit and so amazing to be around. Nothing touched me more then konner my 7 year old nephew at the time hug me and tell me I will see jenny again.

Jen's Beautiful Kids!!!!

.

Here are some recent pics we have taken of Jen's kids. Ellie is decorating her mom's grave, she knew that is what her mom would want.

Each one of Jens kids have some special thing about them that resembles their mom. Sky bugs big beautiful eyes, Ells blonde hair and contagious smile and Jaydens funny sense of humor along with his big heart. They are a constant reminder of their mother and we are so blessed to have them in our lives. I feel so close to Jen when I am around her children. I know without a doubt she is their "Angel" and I know she would be so proud of who they are and misses them more than they will ever know!!!

Cookie Monster anyone?

One of our last trips to Lagoon with EVERYONE, was in August of 2003. I remember Kace was just a baby as was Brylee and Ellie. Of course Jayden, Grandpa and Konner were at the little game tables winning the awesome "memorabilia". Well since everyone was winning things and giving them away like hot cakes, Jen was afraid Kace was going to feel left out. So no kidding she spent probably $30.00 that day trying to win this stupid dart game just so Kace could get a cookie monster. I remember telling her that it was okay but she just insisted on making Kace's first trip to Lagoon even more special...

This picture was taken there. I remember this day so clearly. Of course she had a diet coke and some treats, which she shared with us all. We were trying to decide if we should relive the past when Jen, my dad and myself did the swing there. (which I think I might of said my first swear word that day!) If it wasn't $20.00 a person we would of done it again. I am so glad we took this picture though because it means so much to me now and brings this day back to me like it was yesterday. Isn't she beautiful?

P.S for those of you who come across this blog, keep checking back. I promise it won't be all mushy and sad. There are so many HILARIOUS memories we have of Jen and her children that we will post. Also you will be able to see why we miss and love her so much.

Our beloved Jen.

So making this blog was actually a form of therapy for me I think. There are times that I either just want to talk to Jen or need to talk about her and I can't. Since the new system of being able to print off and keep your blog as a lasting record I thought maybe this might not only be a form of therapy but also a good way to give Jayden, Sky and Ellie more memories of their wonderful mother. I am inviting all of you to join and learn how to post and be a part of this.

We all have so many wonderful memories of Jen and I want to document them before they slip away. Not that we will forget them, but that they might loose their clarity over the years. I challenge all of you to really learn how and to do this.
Not only for yourselves but for all of us including Jayd, Sky and Ellie. I will post first and be happy to show you how to post something as well as upload a picture if you have one. Thanks for helping guys. I love you all and can't wait to be a part of keeping up the legacy of a wonderful mother, daughter, sister, niece, and friend.

As the two year mark approaches remember how much she loves you and watches over you everyday. We will see her again and I personally can't wait.
