Little Drummer Girl

A couple Christmas's ago I got Ethan Rock Band. We had some gift cards so it only cost around $50 bucks and it has been well worth every penny and then some. I would definitely recommend the game to anyone with kids. That is one thing that we enjoy doing as a family and many times Ethan will just go in and play on his own or the kids will hear the music and join the band.

Here lately Brookie has wanted to join the band everytime they have a gig. Ethan is really good at the drums and Brookie loves to try. Ethan is always willing to let anyone play that wants even if it is our little two year old that doesn't know what the heck she is doing. The other day I walked in and saw Brookie standing in front of Ethan and together they were holding on to the drum sticks playing a song. Ethan was playing on expert so it seemed his hands were moving a million miles an hour and Brookie loved it! She just stood there with a big smile and arms moving at rapid speed. I of course had to take a picture, it was just too cute. Ethan asked if I would mind if one of our girls wanted to play the drums. Not at all. We could have a Little Drummer Girl!

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!
