6 Years Ago

I don't even know where to start with this post or even if I'm going to be able to finish it without crying. I was at work when dad called my cell phone I didn't answer because I was helping a guest at the time and thought he needed something for Maddie, well he called right back and I still couldn't get to it and then he call me brother (we both worked at target) he was able to answer and Adam ran over to me and said we have to leave mom is not doing good at all. We went right to the manger and said we need to leave to be with our mom at the hospital. By the time we got there our family was there and mom's best friends were all there! I asked everyone to leave the room so my brother and dad and I could have some alone time with mom. I remember talking to her and telling her I love her very more and I asked her if she loved me and if she did to squeeze my hand and not only did she do that but she smiled and did the same to my brother and dads hands to! I remember her telling me one time that she was not ready to go because she would miss Maddie to much, but I told her she would be fine that she could be her guardian angel! Her breathing got bad and then I looked at grandma Day and she said we need to start praying and we did and at that time mom was taken to heaven. I was standing next to mom and just was kissing on her and telling her how much I loved her and to tell grandma and grandpa Cogswell (mom's mom and dad)hello for me and to have fun up there with them and I looked at her and she had the biggest smile on her face, I could tell her was a peace then.

The girls ask about you all the time and point up to heaven and know that you are watching down on them and are always with them!

I love you very much, you were not only my mom but my best friend! I love you mom!

Disney On Ice

We got an e-mail from Memaw that Disney on Ice was coming to the YUM center and we could get tickets on pre sale and cheaper if we went on a Wed. night, well when you can get something on sale for Disney I'm game for it. Mitch said lets talk about it, that is a school night, and on and on ( I really was not listening to him at all). I called my dad and my brother to see if they wanted to join us! So we didn't tell the girls till we were leaving that night that they were going to see Disney On Ice, and when we told them their eyes got really big and were so excited to be going. They were really happy that Aunt Hill and Uncle Adam and Brady and Papa and Dada were going to be going with us too! They have been to see Toy Story On Ice and loved it.


I was in shock at the price of everything. I mickey mouse was $25, a shirt was $25 and on and on. You can go to Disney world and get them cheaper.


Kenzie with a $5 lollipop sucker!! Bigger then her at that!


Maddie with $10 cotton candy, it did come with a hat(I think it was a flower from tinker bell's movie).


Brady with his cotton candy and hat!

And then the show begins!! I have never seen my girls so into a show before, they were singing alone and clapping and dancing and even waving at everyone! It was so cute!!











It lasted 2 hours and we had the girls in the car by 9:15 and I had the jammies ready in the car to put on them so they to fall asleep in the car and that they did, they were out right after we seat belted them in and we got home at a little before 10 and they stayed asleep when we got them out of the car!! They had a blast!!

I know it was way back in June, but we have just been having a really fun school that I have not been blogging! Well Im back now that things are not so crazy! Kenzie's birthday was on a Thursday night so she asked if we would take her to Pizza King and she even asked to take a friend along too, she picked Levi to go, they had a blast together! We felt so bad for her becasue almost all of the family was out of town on saturday for her party! she even got a new bike that she can put her baby doll on the back and ride her around everywhere!
