IN LOVING MEMORY GRANDPA TRACY: NOVERMBER 11TH 1937-AUGUST 3RD 2008
My grandpa tracy lost his battle with cancer on august 3rd 2008 i just wanted to do this as a tribute to him. He suffered a great deal with this cancer, it pretty much took over his whole body and at a very rapid pace. he was so brave and never once did i hear him complain. nothing is harder than watching your loved one go through something like that. he was a great man and i will never forget him. i will miss the times i gave him perms yes perms:) i think he did it more for my grandma she always wanted him to have them to look nice. it did look good but it was funny to perm his hair. we had some good beauty shop talks. he liked to sleep in my chair while i did it. i will miss his jokes he was quite the joke teller he always had one for you. one thing i will say is what a hard worker he was he put so much heart sweat and tears into his job and he was a great baker for all those who didn't know that about him. i wish he could have had more time for himself but duty calls. i will also never forget the wheel chair ride me and my sister took him on at the care center it was the craziest ride I'm sure he ever went on. i told him next time we took him for a ride he would need a seat belt and helmet we both almost ejected him from the chair. but i think he had a good time. probably one of the last good times he had out. he will be greatly missed and i will think of him often. i do want you all to know that life is so short and to live each day like it is your last take time to smell the flowers cause in no time at all it is gone and you cant go back so do the things you want to do that make you happy, and thank you all for the support it meant a lot.

wE wEnT oN oUr fIrSt LiTtLe GeT aWaY wItH oUr NeW lItTlE gUy: We went up to little cotton wood canyon it was so pretty up there. we had so much fun. Brycen did great for his first time in a tent and Gage just loves the mountains just like his daddy he did not want to leave. we enjoyed just spending time with our little family.It was so much fun watching Gage explore he is getting so big, i cant believe it. he is so much fun and i enjoy having him around. He takes such good care of his little brother too. I wish we had more time to stay up there but it was nice to just get away. And YES there was still snow in july it was CRAZY! dusty and gage had a snow ball fight here are the pics i hope you enjoy them.

so gage is 4 years old i cant believe how fast the 4 years has gone. i never thought i would see this day come so fast. he has been such a blessing and i am so stund at how big he has gotten so fast. he is the light of my life and i love him so much. even though he is only 4 he sure has tought me a lot. lets start with patients :) love, compassion and understanding. hell he has even tought me things that i didn't even know. he is such an intelligent little guy far beyond his years. i have enjoyed so much watching him grow but some how feel a little robbed at the same time because 4 years is gone in a blink of an eye. i just think of how fast the next four years will come. so i am trying to enjoy every day and take it all in i want to remember every little thing about him. i think it is so great to just watch him discover new things every day kids are great have you ever watched their eye's light up with the simplest things like a air plane or a lady bug have you ever watched them study something new and just see the wheels turning? i love it. if only we could all stay so innocent the world would be a much different place. anyways gage has been such a great little boy and i feel so lucky to be his mom and even a part of his life. i hope he had a great birthday. he was so spoiled we had his first friend party at toads and it was crazy but they all had fun.dax we missed ya buddie. but it was a great time. then the next day we had a lower key party at our house with my family and he was spoiled that day too. he has had one busy weekend and now its over. so we say good bye to another year i just want all of you who came and supported us we really appreciate it and all you did for gage. we have such awesome people in our lives and we cherish the friendships that we have. thanks again we hope you all had a great time as well. i posted his b-day pics below watch out there is a ton i had to make 2 slides have fun looking at the pics
