THE LONG AWAITED METTING!


When I was about 2 years old (maybe a little younger) my parents got divorced. My Brother, Sister, and I were raised by our Mom and Stepdad. I saw my biological father once when I was about 7 I think. That's the only visit I remember anyways. Maybe there were others and I was just too young to remember them. We knew our Dad had a previous marriage before marrying our Mom, and also that he had a son with his previous wife. When I was 18 or 19 I went to see our Dad for the first time since I ws a little kid. He told me that he knew where our Brother was, and he gave me the information to contact him. So here we are. After talking to my Brother Chad on the phone and through email for the last 8 years Jas and I finally met Chad in person this week for the first time! He is now married to his wife Susie, and they have 3 adorable kids. We had the most amazing visit! It's kind of strange to think that you have a brother you've never met, but once you do meet it's like you've never been separated. I instantly felt comfortable with Chad and his family. I think our personalities are a lot alike. Hopefully Chad and his family felt the same way with Me and Jas. We only got to spend 2 days together, so we have a lifetime of catching up to do. I can't wait to embark on that exciting journey!

Trip to Salt Lake


When we met Chad in Salt Lake we stayed with Angie and Joel and the kids. It was so much fun to see them and finally meet little Paige! We all went to the zoo on Tuesday. It was great to see how excited little Sydney was to see the animals. We loved being able to spend time with the kids! We don't see them as often as we would like, so it's always great to catch up after awhile.

AHHH The lion's gonna eat me!!!

So this is what a bear feels like...

Cute Girls!

Sweet Baby Paige
