Biker Chick?

Well, today we have rented a Harley for our brother in laws b-day. This was something Candi wanted to do for a surprise for her husband BJ. I have to say I was terrified of getting on a motorcycle, but I am having so much fun. Our bike looks a little bit like a crotch rocket and I love getting to have my arms wrapped around Ethan and holding tight. This also is parallel to my life, Ethan is my anchor and I hold tight to him to feel comfort and love. He is a rock and I am so grateful I have him to help me see the blessings and beauty of life even after Kamber has passed. When I think I can't go on he is right there to pick me back up. Our girls are so lucky to have him as a dad, and they think he is a superhero. Ethan once said as a joke to the girls "would you ever want another dad or is daddy lots of fun?" Kylie responded " Then I wouldn't have the strongest dad in the world." Ethan loves his family especially his little girls. If you ever saw Ethan with Kamber you would know the true love there is between them. There is something special about a Father and his girls. We are thankful for Ethan and I know Kamber can't wait to hold tight to her daddy again!
Happy Birthday BJ!

It was July 25th 2008 and it was a great day. All the kids were getting along with eachother. Ethan and I were going on vacation with a few friends and we were to leave at 5:00p.m. that evening. At about 11:00 a.m. I started packing for the trip. I caught Kamber out back playing with the hose with her cousin a couple of times. The last time Ethan and I went out back to get after the girls for playing in the hose. Ethan sprayed the girls and we chased them all back inside. Ethan went into his office and I went back into our room to pack. It was a short time after this that Kamber some how made it into the pool area. We can't figure out how it happened, we have a gate around our pool shut and locked. Nobody had been in the pool area in days. We lost site of Kamber for a few minutes but this was enough time for her to fall in the spa part of our pool and drowned. I had gone into Ethans office and said something to him and turned around to find my niece crying. I knew. I ran straight to the pool and didn't see her and then caught a glimps of her leg in the spa. It took forever to get the pool fence open , but I ran as fast as I could and pulled her out. Ethan ran in and started CPR, I called 911. The Fire Depatment came fast. They worked on her and then headed to the hospital. We already knew she was gone. I could feel her comforting arms around me. We raced to the hospital where we watched them work on her for about 10 more minutes. She was gone. They let me hold her for about 2 hrs till the medical examiner came to get her. I felt a small amount of peace and I thank my Heavenly Father for that. It was her time to return home. We are grateful for the 2 1/2 years Heavenly Father let us enjoy the beautiful person she is. We will be with her again as a family and I can't wait to raise her again. Her sisters miss her dearly, but they know she not far away and she is safe. We love our valiant angel!
