What do you guys think?


Also Jordan and I sat down and did 24 of these

I also got all of the groomsmen gifts and all of the bridesmaids gifts. I just need to get the ringbears gifts.

Still waiting on RSVPS on tons of people, they have untill the 2nd yes 2 days and I still need around 50 more! I have only received about half of them! SO if you haven't sent yours in DO IT NOW!!!

Once I have a count on everyone I'll start the seating chart and the final payment to the rental company.

So with 4 weeks and 1 day to go... I'm kinda of stressing and will get off here for now.

$th of July

I'm way behind on my bloggin but here goes. On the 4 Chase went to his Aunt Lina's and stayed the night with her so we didn't set off our fireworks becuse he wanted to be here. Saturday the 5th we were out at Cuiver River state park with Jordan's mom and fireworks weren't allowed there along with everythign else. So Sunday night we finally got to set off our fireworks. We didn't have much this year because we are on a budget and they cost more then last year. But we managed to get some ok ones. The boys loved them and I had Brayden in my lap the whole time and after every single one he would turn around put his hands on my face and go oh pretty mom pretty. It was the cutest thing ever. After all the big booms as Chase calls them were done, we lit some sparklers and Chase loved them but Brayden on the other hand didn't like them as much. So anyways here's some pics.

busy, busy, busy

I'm sorry I havn't posted in a long time, but I have been busy. Work has been crazy, and life at home has been some crazy long weeks. Since I've last posted I have been working my butt off on wedding projects, which has been hard since my computer was down. All of my wedding projects were on my laptop and when it went down I had to restart some that I wanted to get done and out of the way. So I had to redo them on Jordan's computer and fight for some computer time when I was home. But now since I have my computer back and working almost right, I am ready to kick some projects butt. Thats right everyone MY LAPTOP is now kind of working. When I say kind of I mean the computer is working but my screen is not. Some how the boys have broken my screen, prolly the same day they broke my desk. So for now my laptop is hooked up to our old computer screen, and is a semi desktop for the time being. I love having old computer parts around. To bad we didn't have an old motherboard that would have worked in my laptop. As for the wedding projects I have the invitations out in the mail and everyone should have received there's by now. I have been getting some RSVP' back but not as many as I had hoped for. I have added an extra project for myself for the wedding and I cannot believe I did that knowing how much more stuff I have to get done. So for now I need to get back to work, but I will post pictures of the invites for all to see.

Today

Today we said goodbye to my baby cousin Carson.

Today was one of the hardest things I have ever been through.

The baby lay in his casket looking like he would just wake up at any moment. Every time I looked at him I saw one of my two boys in that casket. The bad thing is there was a possibility that Chase could have died when he was born. Chase was 8-7 weeks early. He was put on oxygen, and had a very irregular heartbeat. Well within hours Chase did not need help breathing, and his heart beat did become regular. He stayed in the hospital with a few minor problems but nothing life threatening. I love my 2 boys so very much, that I think it would kill me if anything ever happened to them.

Jay and Melissa kept their composure so much better then I would have. They stayed strong for their 2 other children. If it wasn't for those 2 other kids relaying on them I don't think they could have been that composed.

As for my during the service I held up pretty well till I looked over and saw Jay lose it. I think it's so much harder on me to see my best cousin/friend go through something like this. He's 23, he shouldn't have to bary a children. He shouldn't have to go through this. Our family has already gone through with losing our grandpa around this same time last year. Then when my uncle Jason (Jay's Dad) got up is when I went over the edge. I couldn't hold it in any more. This 6 month old baby is gone for our lives. We'll never hear him speak, walk, run, play. He was just ripped from our lives and we want him back.

After the service I got back to being strong Shannon. Then we wnt to the cemertary while we all said our goodbye's Carsons 3 yr old Brother Jaxon kept going up to the casket and saying my brother's in there, thats my brother. I lost it again. Thats the exact same thing Chase would say when I was pregnant with Bryaden.

Thats all I can take for tonight more to come.

Today

***********Warning this is a very sad post*****************


Today has been an up and down day. First off all we had a lot going on today.
But something happened to make me stop and enjoy my two great sons. Let me first give you some background. My mom and dad are divored. They divorced when I was 6. Growing up my dad's family was around, but just not in my life often. Around Jr. High my cousin Jay became really good friends. He's only a year younger then I. Jay and I were inserpable. Well as the years go on through Jr. was the same. High school we started to drift apart. We went to different high schools, and hung out with very different crowds. Well I had my 2 kids and Jay had 2 kids. 6 months ago Jay and his wife Melissa has another little boy names Carson. Well one of our families favorite things to do is go camping. So this weekend Jay and his family went camping. They went to Shelbyville. At 4 this morning little Carson woke up to feed as normal. Then mom went back to bed. Jay and Melissa woke up around 8ish, and went to check on Carson. They found Carson not breathing. Jay as a trained firefighter started CPR on the baby. While Melissa called 911. Unfortantly the baby was pronunced at the scene dead. This is the 6 month old baby. They thought he had died from suffaction from a blanket in the bed. Well around 5 this evening the received the autopsy reports and Carson died from SIDS. Sudden Infant Death Syndorm. This is a syndrom where infants die suddenly and with out cause. My whole family is very distraught over this. How could this happen to our family. How could this even happen to Jay. He LOVED his kids with all his heart and it broke my heart into a billion little pieces just thinking that he had to preform CPR on his own child, and for the baby to die on him. How could this happen.

I cannot write anymore about this now. I get very upset just thinking about it let alone writing this.

If you have any children, babies anything just hug them tighter, love them more then ever and enjoy them more then you can. You never know when something like this can happen to you or your family.

Jay and Melissa if you are reading this. I love you guys, hang in there.
