Sorrowful Weekend #NaBloPoMo

This weekend I....attended my friend's 2 1/2 year old sons funeral.
It was tough.
Sammy and TJ lost their beautiful boy Bram when he was hit by a car flying through a parking lot when they were going to get family photos taken.

Bram was such a beautiful boy.


My heart is so torn up for this amazing family.
Sammy and TJ are such amazing parents and love their boys so much.
I can not imagine the pain they must be going through.
Sammy posts a few thing on her facebook about her grief, but I know that what she is posting isn't even the tip of the iceberg of pain she is feeling.

On Saturday they had a balloon release before his funeral.
On the day Bram was born there was some debate on what time he was born, some thought 11:06 and others 11:08.

Last Saturday, the day he was taken from this world, he passed and was born into Heaven at 11:07.

His parents and brothers released their balloons at exactly 11:07 a week after losing their beautiful boy.

It was a beautiful release and once all the balloons were in the air someone caught a picture of the balloons that floated up and formed a heart.
I don't think it was a coincidence.
I believe it was a sign for God to show all the love Bram brought to everyone.

Here are photos I took:




































This was a skit they did showing how it is not scary to go to Heaven.

Please keep this amazing, beautiful family in your prayers.
Pray for Sammy and TJ in their time of grief and pray for their boys, Tatum, Kaleb and Alden as they lost their brother.

Pray for healing.

Funday Sunday!

Sunday was a fun day for us!
It was Jonathan's Nana's 80th birthday.
So we met up and Jonathan's parents house at nine in the morning so we could borrow their truck and head up to Longmont.
We joined the family in going to church, having cake and refreshments at church and then heading to Jonathan's aunt and uncles house for lunch!
We had the most delicious for for lunch
Homemade quiche, deviled eggs, kickin' cranberry chicken meatballs with blueberry salsa and so much more but these were my favorites!
Some funny things happened and some not so funny things happened
I will start with the not funny thing!

Jonathan's great uncle approached me while I was in line to get cake for the kids.
This is what happened.
Tony- I was informed that you are responsible for the atrocity that is your sons hair
Me- Yes
Tony- Why would you do that to him??
Me- Because it's cute!
Tony- No it's not!!!
Me- Uh, yes it is...
Tony- No it's not! Its hideous and humiliating! You should be ashamed of yourself!
I was left speechless.
I really didn't even know what to think!
It definitely made me super grumpy.


Then the funny thing was that Judah was talking to Ora on the way up to Longmont and referring to Jonathan's cousin Ian
I guess Ora asked Judah who Ian was.
Judah said "Ian is the half grown up, he's a teenager" haha.

Here are some photos from the day!

















Judah and Sonia. Judah and Ora just talk and talk about Sonia!





She was not having it whenever I tried to get pictures of her haha!



But I managed to get a couple lol



Cute???? I think so!!!!!
