Father's Day

What a great day Father's Day was!! Cody, me and my sister Brandy bought my dad a fishing license for father's day. Then Cody, me, my sister (Brandy), Mom and dad all went fishing. Well i didnt fish but i took pictures and read Breaking Dawn (The 4th Twilight book) We all had a lot of fun. But before we went fishing. Cody, me and Brandy made my dad breakfast. Which was really good. My mom helped a little too. Then went fishing at one spot then went back to my parents house got another fishing rode and some food to make sandwiches. Then we went to another spot to fish. Then after almost 6 hours of fishing we all went back to my parents place to so that Brandy, me and Cody could cook my dad dinner. They day was so nice and fun. My mom told cody that she sees him, more like a son and not a son-in-law. My family pretty much sees Cody as part of the family.

Its nice to see how much Cody fits in with my family. They all joke and mess around with him. He is truely loved by my family. When we left my parents house on Sunday my sister yells to us "love you both". I have such good family. This helps since Cody's family live so far away and since his parent moved 12 hours away a year and couple of months ago. His parents and i are not getting a long right now. I haven't seen eye to eye with them for a while. They think isnt only started a couple of months ago but it hasn't. Cody knows he has me and my family and his brother and Ashley to support what ever he decides to do with his live. Family should never turn their backs on people that they say they loved. They shouldn't move many hours away because of a people. They should take it head first and solve the problem.

Thank you to everyone who really showed me that you cared to ask how i was and how everythign was going. It means a lot to me to have good friends and family around to help through rough times. My family is still getting past the death of my Uncle. He will be missed very much and loved. We miss him so much. But he isn't in pain anymore and that is good.

Here are some pictures from Sunday, Father's Day. Enjoy!!

Happy Father's Day Daddy. I love you so much

Jon and Ashley thank you so much for sending me the card that was very nice of you. It means a lot to me. This is a very upsetting time for me, Cody, and my family. I have had friends at work come up to me and give me hugs and have asked about me. I have friends comment me on my myspace, and facebook. Ashley has been asking me how i am doing everyday. Today i had to go to work. I had only cried just once. I kept myself busy so i would think about everything. Shawn had painted me and Cody a picture and ashley sent it to us. Cody had told me to put it on the frig. So that is where the picture has been since we got it. WE love the picture. Thank you so much. Here are pictures of what we have gotten.

SO SO SO Beautiful

Upset, Sad, Anger,

Today is a sad sad day for me and my family because my Uncle JJ had past away this after noon. I know that he knows that i loved him because my aunt had went to see him a couple of days ago and she named everyone who had loves him. I am a little anger and hurt. I dont understand why he had to be taken from our family. He was only 34 years old. He has a little boy Nathan who is only 3 years old. Why did God have to take him?? I know I will not know this answer but it is okay because one day i will get it. I know my Uncle isn't hurting anymore, he doesnt have to be sick anymore. But it hurts so much. I know he had fought as long and as much as he could. It just really sucks. I miss him so much already. I wont be able to text him funny jokes anymore or send him e-mails. Or have him send me e-mails, text messages, or call. He wont be able to finish teaching me to drive stick like he had started. This really really sucks and hurts. I want to do my best to help cancer patients out in some way. I havent thought of the best way to do that yet but i will. I have added some pictures of my Uncle JJ.

To Uncle JJ: This sucks that you had to be taken from all of us. I am glad that you were apart of my life. I love you a lot and wish this hadn't happen. I am glad for this pictures and the memories i have with you. Church will never be the same now. I know that all our relatives (mine and yours) that are up in heaven will now be with you. I know you will be watching over everyone. YOu will get your long hair back now. I will do my best to get my nails as long as yours were. I will never forget you. I love you Uncle JJ. I will tell Nathan everything he would want to know (when he ask) about you. My Unlce JJ always kind
We had pretty much the same taste of music.

This is what cemo did do his hair. Still had a smile on his face.
He fought as long and hard as he could

Always a clown. He would get my sister and me in trouble at church
We would be laughing or doing things to get each other to laugh
I love you Uncle JJ never ever forget that

Sad

My Uncle Jay (aka Uncle JJ) has cancer and like three weeks ago the cancer had taken the turn for the worst and he was taking to the hospital. As soon as they had him well enough they took him to the Hersey Hospital. I had some bad news today. My Uncle JJ had taken a turn even worst. He doesn't have long at all. I could be any minute, hour or day. This really sucks. I hate cancer. I dont understand why god would creat such a horrible thing. Maybe God has a reason for what is going on, i just dont see it right now. I dont want to see my Uncle in pain but I also dont want to see him leave earth. What i can remember about him is how he looked before the cancer. How he was so kind to my sister and me. How the three of us would do things at church to make each other laugh. How he was teaching me how to drive stick. How he had the same kind of taste in music that i did. I can still hope and pray that something happens, like all the pain goes away and he gets better. I dont know if it will happen but i can still hope for it. At least I know he knows that i love him and I am glad i got to see him the other week. I gave him a hug and a kiss and told him I love him. I hate cancer and wish they would find a way to make sure people will never get it or if they do they get rid of it. Here are two pictures that I have of my Uncle JJ that make me smile.

Family

In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit. - Marge Kennedy

I have posted that quote on my facebook. I love this quote. After a weekend i had last weekend and a week this week. I wanted to share this quote. Cody and I have been getting pretty close to Jon and Ashley and the boys. Cody loves his nephews a lot. This weekend we went to see Jon and Ashley and the boys again. Today at breakfast Cody was letting Shawn do something that he would normally be allowed to do. He says to me that Uncles are aloud to spoil their nephews. It was so cute when he said this. I know the boys love having their Uncle around when we can get out there. Family to me is the people who want to be part of the lives of family ones. I am so close to my family. My family would never move to far away from each other. We all pretty much live within 15 from each other. We have are get togethers. My family loves Cody and they treat them as family. Today was my Aunt Melissa's 30th birthday. Cody and I went out to eat with my parents, sister, grandmother, Aunt Melissa and Uncle Tim and Josh, Aunt Jen and Nathan and Gene. Nathan is only 3 years old and before the food got to the table Nathan goes "I want to go sit on Cody's lap" so he had to walk to the other end of the table and sat with Cody. Cody has been getting really close to his brother Jon again. Cody likes how his brother treats him as an adult. Ashley and I have been getting really close since October. We both wish when Cody and I first started dating that we were as close as we are now. We would be part of the boys lives from the beginning then. But we are making up for every lost min. Ashley and Jon have taken Shawn to get fish for his fish tank but they left room for two more. So next time we go out we are going to take Shawn for two more fish to put in the tank. We also will be going to Knobles with them since they werent able to go on this past Friday. I know this will be awhile from now but when Cody and I get married: Cody will have Pap, Jon and Ben on his side (his grooms) and I will be having my sister, Ashley and my best friend Kaylisha. But anyways since last weekend when cody and Jon got to have their brothers night out and have been getting really close again. Well i wanted to add some pictures of Jon and Cody when they were younger that Ashley had shared with me. Hope you enjoy the old school pictures.

Their funny faces.

Such a nice picture of two brothers.

This is a nice picture of them.
They are both smiling.

The love of my life.
My best friend
My soul mate
My Mr. Right
I love him more then the moon and the sun.
So glad we are together and he stayed here with me

What a great weekend

This past weekend was Shawn and Landon birthday party. Cody and traveled two hours have our first birthday party with them. This was Shawn's third birthday party and Landon's first. We haven't been to Shawn's other birthday party because of problems between Cody's parents and with Ashley and Jon (Cody's sister-in-law and brother). So now that Jon and Cody are becoming closer and Ashley and I have been really close, we will never miss another party of the boys again. We haven't see Jon, Ashley, Shawn, and Landon since April so this was a visit that was badly needed. We adore those boys so much and make good time of our visit with them all. We got to Ashley and Jon's home on Saturday that way when Shawn woke up in the morning he would have a surprise of his Uncle Cody there. And let me tell you that that boy was so happy to see his Uncle Cody. Sunday Ashley, her friend Liz and I went to get the party ready. WE had to pick up the balloons and ice cream. I did my best all day to help out as much as i could. Didn't get to talk much to Cody's parents because i was busy helping. We had such a good time at the birthday party. Sunday night Ashley and I stayed in so that way Cody and Jon could have a brothers night out. They had pizza and went to see a movie. It was so good that they got to do this. Cody really enjoyed his time with his brother. They are becoming so close again. Then on Monday, Cody's grandfather went to have surgery on his hip. He had a hip replacement. So we went to see him at the hospital after his surgery. Everything went fine for his surgery. Cody's parents and I are not on good terms right now. We got in a fight. Cody stuck up for me which was really nice. On another note i wanted to say to Jon and Ashley, thank you so much for letting us stay out your place and letting me help out at the party. We enjoyed our time with you all. Well here are some pictures of our time with Jon and Ashley and the boys. The calm before the storm. LOL

You will see why in the next picture.
