Brookie

Today is Brookie's Birthday and she turns 4 yrs. old. Time has sure flown by and I can't believe how big and grown up she is getting. We had her birthday party on Saturday after conference with some family and friends. Brookie kind of gets a week long birthday celebration because of how her birthday falls this year. Since it is today it is hard to have people over with it being a school night so we did a little celebration with my family Saturday and then on Easter it is Ethan's birthday so we will be over at the Larsen's for that so we decided to celebrate Ethan and Brookie together with the Larsen's to since we will be there anyways because of Easter. Anyways it makes for a long week of celebrations!
Below are some pictures of the party for Brookie.

Pictures from today her actual special day. We love You Brookie!!!!

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!
