In Memory of Jackson

When we were out in Utah for Jackson's funeral, his son, Jayden asked if we could all go to a Real soccer game. Ryan was put in charge of getting us all tickets and was able to get an awesome deal. We got 20 tickets and my ever so kind father got hit with the bill. He wouldn't have it any other way though! We had a blast and did it in memory of Jackson! Thanks Dad!

Thank You

Thank you to everyone for all your love and support the past few weeks. All the flowers,
cards, phone calls and emails that myself and my family have been receiving has been so comforting. Thank you to everyone who came to Jackson's viewing and funeral. The funeral went really well. Myself, my sister, my two brothers, my brother-in-law, and my dad all spoke. It was so nice to remember all the good times we have had with Jackson. He was such a sweet, kind, and loving person. We are going to miss him! Here is his obituary.

Jackson Dean Hammond
Jackson Dean Hammond 1976 ~ 2009 Our beloved son Jackson Dean Hammond passed away Sunday, May 10, 2009 of a broken heart and soul. He is finally free from his earthly demons and depression. We are deeply sorrowed by his passing, but are joyful to know he is with his Heavenly Father where he is able to breathe and smile again. We will miss his sweet, kind and sensitive heart along with his beautiful smile.Jax was born February 28, 1976 in Ogden, Utah to Charles A. and Barbara Dean Hammond. Jackson grew up in Kaysville, Utah with two brothers and two sisters and many friends. He graduated from Davis High and worked for Delta Airlines for 13 years. He married Angelique Lowery on September 20, 2002. Although they later divorced, they continued their love and appreciation for each other. Jackson was a member of the LDS church. Growing up, Action Jackson loved being involved in baseball, soccer and gymnastics and had a great natural athletic ability. He thoroughly enjoyed being outside golfing, camping and fishing with family and friends. The greatest joy of his life is his treasured son, Jayden of Las Vegas. He loved Jayden more than anyone will ever know. Jayden needs to know that his Dad will always be watching over him.

This was at the viewing. Sorry if this bothers anyone that I am posting this picture. You'll just
have to get over it!

















This picture is comical. These are the three girls that were a part of Jackson's life at one point or another. Vicki (left) was dating Jackson recently. Melanie (middle) is the mother of Jackson's son Jayden. Angie (right) was Jackson's ex-wife. None of the three girls were to happy that this picture was taken. My sister-in-law and I saw them all talking to each other and knew we had to get a picture of it. I'm sure Jackson was not too happy about it being taken either!

My Brother

We got news last night that my brother Jackson passed away. We are flying out to Utah on Tuesday. We think the funeral will be on Friday. We will let everyone know more when we find out what is going on. Please keep my mom and dad in your prayers. My heart aches for what they are going through right now. Times like this make you wish you lived closer to home. We are all going to miss Jackson, but we know he is in a much better place. We feel that he has been able to finally find happiness, something that he seldom felt here on earth. We love you Jax and are already missing you.

No Time to Blog!

I haven't been able to figure out balancing 3 kids and everything else! Blogging has been last on the list. Our families keeps asking to post more pictures of Mya. I finally found time tonight do it. In order to make it happen I had to break Ryan's rule for our blog. "Ryan's #1 Rule" is that he must photoshop all the pictures before we post them. I guess it is a photographer thing? Well, he didn't get his pretty little hands on these pictures. Everyone is going to have to deal with them as they are. You will see red eye, lighting issues, out of focus, ect. I even went as far as using my little digital camera instead of using his "Canon 5D Mark II" (aka Ryan's baby). I better stop because I am already in trouble for breaking The Rule!
Anywho, Mya is doing well. Last week at her 2 week appointment she was 8lbs 4oz. She has been an easy baby so far (knock on wood). She is still sleeping most of the day and will sleep between 5-7 hours at night! She knows that her mama doesn't do well with little sleep!
























Kobe and Oakley are loving their new sister. They are both the best helpers. Oakley "helps" me change Mya's diaper EVERY time and Kobe has been so good with entertaining Oakley while I'm busy with Mya.


















Oakley is always wanting Kobe to take a bath with her. Kobe is so cute with her. Ever since I had Mya he has taken it upon himself to wash her hair and help her wash her body. They will play in there for as long as I will let them. Kobe will get out and get their towels and help Oakley dry off. She loves ever second of her brothers attention.
