I mentioned in the previous post that Chad and Amanda came up and spent the weekend with us. The reason they were visiting was so we could all go together to a viewing/funeral. My sweet, amazing sister-in-law Linsey's little brother Josh passed away from cancer. He was only 24. Watching Linsey and her family go through this really made me appreciate the Gospel and The Plan that we have. What would I do without it? What an amazing phrase: FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER. I must say that the Lloyd family are amazing people who stood UNITED. They are a testimony to me.

Despite the circumstances It was so fun having Chad and Amanda at our house. And we tried to make the best of the weekend. It was nice having them there to talk about everything with and we really wanted to show our love and support to Clay, Linsey, Ryley, Reagan, and the rest of Linsey's family.

On a lighter note I'm a proud Auntie to say that Chad and Amanda are expecting a baby girl the end of July and I am so excited for them!! Amanda, Abby, and myself did some shopping for this baby girl and it was so much fun!! She is going to be the cutest little girl around! We may have gotten a little carried away......haha!! We also stayed up late watching ball games and eating junk food and did lots of talking! I love having Amanda around because she does all kinds of things for me like arrange flowers, tie bows, and on Sunday she did Abby's hair (see below)! They also came to sacrament meeting with us and I love it when I have help for sacrament meeting!! When the kids and I came home from church they both asked where Chad and Amanda were, and we decided that we really missed them and the house was different without them!

Also I have more exciting Auntie news, Brad and Becky are having a baby boy in July!!! I'm a pretty lucky Aunt........... on the Moore side last year we got a nephew (Wyatt) in October. Another niece (Evey) and nephew (Tayson) in November on the exact same day!! We have lots of babies to love!
