Uncle David Passed Away...

I found out last Sunday that my Uncle Davis has passed away. Jacob and I were at Ikea when Jenny called and told me that he had died. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I didn't believe her at first. She had to be kidding. I guess he was working out at the gym and went into the sauna after he was done working out and had a massive heart attack while he was in there. This is still very hard for to grasp. It still doesn't seem to be true. I haven't cried yet just because it is something hard for me to believe still. My dad went up to Seattle on Wednesday to help out with everything and he said that Neiko (my uncle's dog) hasn't come out of my uncle's room. He just stays in there. I guess when my dad got up there, he came out of the room for a bit cause he thought my dad was my uncle. When I heard that it made me cry because it now does seem like my uncle is really gone. It was hard hearing that. This is just a really hard time for all of my family...

Gabe's 1st Birthday!

Saturday April 5th was Gabe's 1st birthday party. Jacob and I got over there around 9-9:30ish to help out Jen and Bryan get ready for the party. I helped Jenny make the cupcakes. Gabe's party theme was stuff on the farm so the cupcakes that we made were chicks, pigs and sheep. The pigs were the easiest to make. I think that they all turned out pretty good. Jacob with with Bryan to go get the pizzas and a few other things that they needed. Betty and Gary (Bryan's parents from Idaho) were one of the first people to arrive. Pretty soon everyone showed up and we all got pizza and salad to eat. After that Gabe opened up his presents...or should I say MOM and DAD opened up the presents. Gabe was not interested at all. He was crawling around doing other things while they were opening up the gifts. Jacob and I bought Jaden a gift too because that is what Christina did at Jaden's b-day party was bring Gabe a gift so that he wouldn't feel left out. I had Jaden's gift sitting by me and Gabe thought it was his so he came over and started opening that one. :) After we did presents, Gabe got to have his piggy cake. It was his first time having sugar and he wasn't sure what to make out of it but after the first intial taste, he went to town on it. That doesn't really surprise me at all, the guy is a chunky monkey! Bryan went to get him hosed off after he was done while everyone else got their cupcakes. Everyone started to leave around 3:30 or so. Jacob and I stayed around for a bit after everyone left but then left ourselves to go on our date night. Gabe's birthday was fun and I am glad I got to be a part of it!
