We Love You Colter

My heart has been so heavy all week. My cousin Colter passed away on Sunday. He passed in his sleep. They say he did not feel a thing. We were not the closest of cousins, but Colter was always a very happy, fun guy once you got past his tough guy act! Colter was always very protective of me. There isn't one ex-boyfriend of mine that he he didn't offer to kill! We love you and will miss you dearly!

COLTER DWYER Colter J. Dwyer 1982 ~ 2010 Colter John Dwyer, age 27, passed away February 14, 2010 in Riverton, Utah. He was born March 15, 1982 in Murray, Utah and survived by his parents Peggy Lee Boswell Dwyer and Wayne Ross Dwyer and Robyn Dwyer. Colter had a heart as big and amazing as he was. He was always helping others and would give you the shirt off his back. He was a big teddy bear with a unique laugh that was contagious. He lived his life to the fullest in Riverton, where he took pride in taking care of his Mom. He worked at Dwyer's Communications with his Dad and Robyn, he was the rock his Dad needed to help build the business and took great pride in his custom work. He had established a lot of friendships in the Law Enforcement Community, and he will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of being touched in their lives by him. He is survived by his parents, brother Nathan, and baby sister Natalie, half brothers Jason and Jared, step brothers Kurtis, Christopher and step sister Carly, and 10 nieces and nephews that adored and loved their Uncle Dodo.

The Trade!

Well, we decided that we needed one little addition to our family! We got a puppy!! His name is Rocky! Well, Rocky was the cutest most lovable little guy until he decided to bark all night and chew on my floor boards!
The girls loved him......but then were scared of him! They thought he was really trying to bight them. I explained that that is just what puppies do! They didn't like that too much!

After much deliberation, we decided to take him back to his momma....so sad I know! We learned our lesson, we are just not pet people!! So to make a long story short, we took Rocky back and got a boat instead! hahaha! Here she is!! The Black Pearl!

O's 5!!! We Love you Peanut!

I can't believe my sweet little O is 5 already! She is the funniest little girl around. She loves life and all that it offers! She is definitely a girly girl, but also likes boyish things too! She is such a joy to our family. Happy Birthday O!! We love you lots! Love Momma
She got a crown with her card and of course insisted on wearing it! :)
I made this fun cake!! It is a "Nothing Bundt Cake" recipe! yummy!!!

O's new desk! She informed us that she didn't really want this for her birthday, but could think of nothing else she'd rather have! spoiled?
Our cute little family!

1st Grade Program!


Last Thursday, K had her 1st grade program. She was so stinkin cute! They sang songs and did a whole program about their days at school. I just loved watching her and her cute toothless smile! I sometimes forget how young she still is! It's kind of sad, but I expect so much out of her, being the first child and all! I forget that she is such a cute little 6 year old 1st grader! Love ya K cutie pie!

What Have I Been Doing?

Well....... I started a new business with my friend Kirsten.
