So, it's March

March is now the most emotional month for me.  I think I better just realize this and embrace it.  It's been a tough one to get through.  I wish my little boy was on a mission and was just going to come home this month.  Instead, it has been two years and I don't know how many more until I see him again.  Darn it.  I wish I didn't have to always have this.  I also wish I didn't have the experience to keep talking about.  But, it is a huge part of my life, a strange reality I live with, and it will always be there.  Spring Break brings emotions no matter what.  I seem to reflect on the last Spring Break with Ethan and it continues to bring back little memories of this time of year.

But, despite the fact that these memories and emotions are there, we continue to do our thing.  Marcus is traveling which he always does at this time of year and I hang out with the kiddos. To clarify, he took Parker to Orlando with him and they had a blast.  However, they refuse to send me pictures.

Here are some pics of our Spring Break:

We did stop by Ethan's graveside on the way to Grandma and Grandpa Ellsworths.  We buried Ethan next to his Uncle Ladd in the Snowflake, AZ cemetery.


Bocce Ball with Jurnee .  

Cards with cousins.

Madilyn hanging out with cousins.

I call this one "There's a dog."  because Brady points to dogs with a worried look on his face.

Grandpa had a couple of new ponies Brady loved.

Brady loves Grandma's food too.

Madilyn and I went to a spring training game for the Diamondbacks and they had this kid area.  She did great!

Park day.

Our hike.

    I stubbled onto your blog after someone posted on facebook about Errands for Ethan. I plan on joining you in this day this year. I was wondering if your son was diagnosed with a disease or just the brain AVM. I ask because my two sons and husband suffer from a genetic disease that goes undetected until something catrostophic happens. Most of the general medical population doesn't know much about this disease nor do they often diagnose it. The main thing that effects children is brain AVM's. This diesease went undetected in our family for many generations until my husband suffered a massive stroke. Even then it took two years, me being a RN and research to find out what my husband had. We were able to get him to a treatment center in Salt Lake City that specializes in this disease. Please feel free to contact me, if you have this disease it is dominant which means it never skip a generation and othe family members should be checked and treated. My email is EMTbubbles21@hotmail.com The disease is HHT. You can find more info at www.hht.org.
