5 years

It has been 5 years... but it feels like it was only yesterday.
Sometimes I like to think about how different life would be if she was still here with us.

We miss you still
Love you mom

4 Years

It's been 4 years and we still miss you and think about you every day.

We love you Mom

Pumpkin Carving Night

I know this post is like forever late, but I just haven't had the motivation to get it done. Oh well. This year we decided to carve our pumpkins the day before Halloween. We usually carve a week before Halloween, but the pumpkins always start to go bad and look ugly. So we did it a little different this year.

The finished product:

Brian had to work the night before Halloween so we had to carve pumpkins without him. He doesn't enjoy the carving pumpkin process so he didn't really mind. But we missed him.

Thank you Missy for taking pictures and making delicious Astronaut Surprise.

The Traditional Family Picture

Pumpkins
Dad: Monty Burns as Dracula
Lindsay: Profile of David Archuleta (one of our neighbors thought it was a guy smoking haha, Lindsay didn't think that was too funny)
Me: Mario
Matt: Harry Potter
Brian: Jigsaw guy from Saw

September

Brian and Matt finally brought home their school pictures. I'm not sure how long they had been sitting in their backpacks, but they've been pulled out and hung up on the wall. I think my brothers are pretty handsome.
Matty Boy
He's in high-school now. I can't believe it.


Brian's Senior Picture. This picture will be on the wall for the rest of his life....unless we move. Good thing it looks good.

Brian finally got his Eagle! He's worked hard and we're proud of him for getting it done. It was nice of all of his family and friends to come and share this special night with him.

Grandma Farnworth came over a week or so ago and helped us can peaches. I always wondered how it was done but never had the chance to do it with mom. It was fun to spend time with Dad and Grandma. I think she had a good time

Dad and his favorite apron that he purchased when we went to Europe. He thinks he's pretty funny. When the ward boys come around on Fast Sunday to do fast offerings they think it's pretty funny when Dad opens the door in this little number. They even asked to take a picture the last time they came over. I probably should hide it.......


All of our beautiful peaches are now in cans. When we were done with the peaches from our tree Dad bought a big box of peaches from one of the fruit stands on the side of the road and they canned most of those too. I can't wait to eat them!


Dad and Grandma had a good time together. Yes, they did most of the work and I'm pretty sure they enjoyed every minute of it.

Our Summer Adventures

Hi. It's Heidi...... Yes it has been quite a long time. My dad hasn't kept our blog up as well as he thought he would. So I've decided to take it over. Hopefully I can do a better job. Here are some pictures of our busy summer:

We started our summer out with the Farnworth Family Reunion. This is the whole gang. We had so much fun!


Our little family


Lindsay and I took a trip up to Boston for ten days to visit our friend Kali and her cute little family. We had a blast!

Pretty much our favorite pastry place ever!


Lindsay and I with Kali, Wade, and Miles

In July we went with some of my mom's side of the family to Jackson Hole.

Everyone was taking too long to get ready for the day, so we ditched and took a nice drive and took pictures. We're so hot!

The Grand Tetons!
My dad's favorite saying this trip, "I Love Grand Tetons!" Yes he's a weirdo.

Waiting for Old Faithful. It took so long, my grandma had to entertain the children with her new books.
The day was cold and rainy. Brian and Dad had to leave in the middle of the trip so they missed our all day tour of Yellowstone. I'm sure they were bummed.

Our last day in Jackson Hole. We had a lot of fun!

We had a really fun summer and were bummed when school had to start again. But we are all back into the swing of things and surviving school. So far.

Dad has this whole week off. He already played 36 holes on Monday and 18 today. What would he do without his golf? I forgot to take first day of school pictures....whoops! Mom would be very disappointed. So maybe I'll share Brian and Matt's school pictures when they get them.

Our yearly family pictures will be taken soon and I'll be sure to post some of our favorites. So until then.......enjoy the schload of pictures I just posted.

Lindsay's Caterpillar Cake Creation for Heidi's Birthday

Lindsay imagined this and it appeared. Maybe she'll be a cake creator when she grows up! Her kids will love it!

Debbie's family came to celebrate with us and wish Heidi a happy 18th...she's an adult now...but she still can't drink, smoke or gamble.

We missed mom, remembering that just two years ago she was still able to celebrate with us.

We still miss her.

Heidi's 18th Birthday!

Dinner at Cheesecake Factory and a large amount of money later, we are stuffed and the girls are ready to hit the town...while the boys head to our lonely home.  Girls ALWAYS have more fun.

We love you Heidi!  And Happy Birthday!
