It Has Been Two Years Since Our Precious Nathan Gained his Angel Wings

March 28, 2013
It has been two years since our precious Nathan went to be with Jesus.  We still miss him so much!!!  Kyle and I were able to take off again this year to spend some time remembering him and celebrating Jacen.

We started off the day with visiting Hospice of Lubbock and dropping off cookie bars, brownies, and a monetary donation to a Hospice family.  We also visited Dr. Gray's office and NICU to deliver brownies and cookies bars.  Then we went to Cast Iron Grill to eat lunch together as a family.  Next, we got balloons and flowers and made our way to the cemetery.  Jacen picked out 3 red balloons and after Daddy said a prayer Jacen released the 3 balloons to Nathan.  We read books and Mommy had some alone time.

Then we spent a few hours enjoying Jacen at his place of choice, Science Spectrum!!!

 Jacen loves to make the ball pop out of the tubing!!  (And so does Daddy :)  )
 Notice the pink ball in the middle of the picture :)

Thank you all for the all of the facebook posts, comments, and text messages.  We appreciate all of the prayers and concerns during this time.  Your kindness and prayers help to get us through and remember what an impact he had on so many people!  Love you all!!

Color Run

March 23, 2013

Color Run Lubbock, TX

Laura convinced me to sign up on a team our coworker Connie created.  Then we convinced Holly like two days before because someone had a ticket they didn't want.  We had a great time and hope to do another one soon!!!!
 Holly and I waiting in line and looking for Laura :)
 
 We found Laura!!!
 
The race started at 9, but because there were so many runners they started us in what I would call heats.  We actually started at 10am!!!!!  There were like 14,000 participants!!
 We all finished!!!!  I ran it in 33 minutes :)
