Comstock McCall Reunion

We were lucky this year to be able to get a week off of work to go to McCall, Idaho to be part of the Comstock reunion. We left after meeting on friday and traveled to kaysville where we spent the night. The next morning we woke up to travel the rest of the eleven hours to make it to the lodge. Coleton did great on the car ride, we had Brandons lap top so we could watch a movie, with snacks, books, and toys. I though did not do so well on the trip. I get really car sick and even though i took motions sickness medicine, i was still sick. After we got to McCall we took a shopping trip to the store to get all of the supplies for dinners that week, which i was in charge of (because i love doing it). Sunday morning we were up getting ready for church and i was still a little sick from the traveling so after sacrament meeting we came home to get me feeling better. Luckly by that evening i was feeling alot better and ready for the busy week ahead of us. We had the chance during the week to do a lot of fun activities. We went to the firestation were we got an amazing tour of their gear and trucks, we went out on the lake and did a little canoeing with Candice and her family, we went window shopping which Brandon and i love to do, went to eat at the pancake house which has great food,went swimming at the pool/hot tub, went ice skating,and just had a lot of fun being with family.Coleton loved being able to spend time with his cousins and loved being around grandparents. After a week of fun we had to headback to Cedar so that Brandon could get back to work. We had a ton of fun like we always do and cant wait for next years McCall Trip!!

Coleton Brady

We have been asked several times where Coleton got his name. Ever since I was younger, I have loved the name Cole and when we got pregnant it caught on and we have never gone back. As for his middle name Brady we named him after Brandons little brother. When Brandon was about ten years old, the family was blessed to have another little boy added to the family. Brady was to be due in the middle of October but was born on June 16, 16 weeks before his due date. The doctors estimated that if he would make it ten days that he would make a recovery, but on day nine when the nurses when to change the tape on his oxygen, he had had an reaction to the adhesive. When they pealed back the tape the nurses realized his sensitive skin had been taken off with the adhesice leaving an open sore around his mouth which allowed infection to enter his little body. On June 26th, day ten, Brady Cameron returned to be with his Heavenly Father.

Though the family was not able to spend much time with Brady here on earth, what a blessing it is to know that we can be together forever as a family. What an honor it is to have our little boy named after Brady Cameron Comstock.

Happy Anniversary!!

Well we have made it!! We have hit our two year anniversary. With things being so crazy with being hired full time, packing up our house, looking for a house, reunions coming up, and normal life we didnt have a chance to do anything big but we did get the chance to go out to dinner. Sister michelle christiansen in our ward was sweet enough to watch Coleton while we went out to eat and of course took a walk around walmart. It was nothign big but we just loved to have the chance to be together for the evening. I hope that we will have many many happy and fun years together!! I love you, honey!!
