Ethan Jeffrey Reiher

Ethan turns 5 tomorrow. Not only did I get a beautiful baby boy that day but I also became a mother. He is very special to me. He was stubburn from day one. He was jaundice when he was born and had to be under the lights for a few days. He loved being unswaddled. When we got him home and tried to swaddle him he didnt like it. He has always been a very active boy. He enjoys sports and being outside! His favorite things to do are play with his sister and his friend Alana. He loves super heroes! He is fun to watch and to play with. He has his dads imagination and its sky high! While pregnant with him he would never sit still. Same way today! He is always doing something. He loves his sister and plays with her a lot. He is so excited to start school! I cant wait for him to make some new friends! I hope that tomorrow is a special day for him and I hope he is happy with how it turns out! I love you Ethan and I am happy you are my boy!

Grandpa Matthews Funeral

Grandpa Matthews had a beautiful funeral. His daughters sang a song together and then his youngest (Aunt Pam) sang a solo. It was beautiful! I am sure he is proud of them. He loved music so I am sure he enjoyed the hymns that were song. It was good to see Craigs family. We saw most of his cousins and all 4 of his aunts! It was good to see them together! The family reunion is the first time I had ever seen them all together at the same time! So it was nice to see that. We got to go to the closing of the casket ceremony and that was nice. Craigs grandmother looked beautiful! She is doing good. She was a real trooper! I hope that I can be as put together as she was if I ever have to attend my husbands funeral. But you can sure tell how much they love eachother! All in all it was a good time. Sad but good! We love you Grandpa and will try to make you proud every day!

Grandpa Matthews

Today our beloved Grandpa Matthews passed away. He was a man of God. He taught Craig everything that he needed to know to use his priesthood. He was there guiding Craig through blessings of a safe delivery of our son Ethan. He also guided Craig through the blessing of Ethan. He baptized, confirmed, and gave Craig the priesthood. My home has been greatly blessed by this man and I love him dearly. Grandpa you will be missed, loved, and adored. Our house is blessed with the same priesthood you gave to my husband. I was there when Grandpa gave Craig the Melkezidik Priesthood. Because of that I was able to marry Craig in the Provo Temple. I owe the best days of my life to Grandpa.

4th of July Weekend!

We went to Colorado for the 4th of July! It was a lot of fun and it was good to relax! We had a family reunion for Craigs moms side of the family. It was good to see all of his cousins! I hadnt seen some of them for a while so it was nice to see everyone. We had a bbq on the 4th and did some fireworks in the back yard of Craigs parents house. The kids had a great time! They liked to see the pretty colors! Elli however did get car sick on the way to Colorado so we took our time coming home. But we made it back without getting sick! Ethan also had a fun time at his Grandparents for a week! They took him fishing! I am so glad we had such a great time!
