1. My dearest Auntie Al took her life. I miss her more than words can say! She wasn't married and didn't have any children, so she treated my sisters and me like we were her little girls. I have so many fun memories with my Auntie Al. She was such a FUN, OUTGOING, KIND, GENEROUS, LOVING, SILLY person and I will always remember her by those wonderful qualities! I have felt comfort through reading "After my Son's Suicide: An LDS Mother Finds Comfort in Christ and Strength to Go On". My mom's best friend wrote this book and it has so many comforting scriptures and talks from general authorities in it. I am still reading it and I would recommend it to anyone who has gone through such a terrible tragedy. I love you SO much Auntie Al!!!
2. My Auntie Al's funeral was on my birthday. But we just tried to pretend like my birthday was the day after my real birthday. For my unofficial birthday my sweet Darrin took me out to Cheesecake Factory for Dinner (YUUUUMMMM!!!!). They sang happy birthday to me and it was really awkward because they got my name wrong. They sang the wrong name and wrote the wrong name on my plate (see picture.) haha. After dinner we went of to "Hidden Falls Hike". The "falls" were so hidden that we weren't able to find them :(. But Parker loved going on the hike! He loved being in the outdoors and listening to all the sounds and feeling the breeze while being in the baby bjorn which he loves :). My BFF Marta also took me out for my bday. We had dinner at Whole Foods and then had gelato for dessert. Delicious. Thank you Marta! And my mother also took me out to breakfast on my unofficial birthday. I had a lot of fun-thank you mom!!
3. Darrin's Birthday was yesterday. We went to Tucano's for Dinner and then went SURFING!! We went to "Flowrider" which is in Ogden and it's an indoor surfing place. SO awesome! But boy does it hurt when you biff it! haha. SO worth it though! We had a ton of fun. HUGE Thank You to my sweet Mother in Law for babysitting! Happy Birthday Sweetheart!
4. Parker is so much fun! He's 3 months old this week! Here are a bunch of cute pictures of my little man:
And here's a video of him talking (SO CUTE!!!):

Cute pics Trisha! I'm so impressed you and Darrin got up on the surf board. You guys are my hero! Awesome pictures of Parker. Give him a big kiss for me. Love ya!
Hey, I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt. But that surfing thing looks awesome.
Sweet post about Aunt Al. And you are such an AMAZING wife to plan Darrin's bday like that - I need to do better like you!
And, yes, baby Parker is such a little cutie! He's rockin' that newsie hat!
Ah, Trish. I'm so sorry about your Aunt. What a hard thing to go through. :(
Fun birthday party celebrations! Birthdays are the best! And what a cute baby you guys have!! Ahh. So adorable :)
Trisha I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm glad you are finding comfort!
Parker is so stinking cute!! I can't believe he is 3 months and I haven't even met him. We need to get together. Rachael is 6 months (almost) and loves other babies! And started noticing them about 3 months. Would be fun to see how they react to each other! He is soo adorable!
I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt but I am glad you had a great birthday anyway. I still find it so wierd that our birthdays are the same day. Parker is so big now.. I need to visit you guys again.
