One of Chris' other daughters.. spent the night for the first time

 

How do I load this into a nutshell for those who don't know about this part of life.... Yikes.

 

okay so Chris has two other daughters, both with different mom's. the relationship with both mothers is...gosh how do I pick a word... a rollercoaster.

 

We haven't had much to do with either of them, for several reasons but one of them being that they both live in different states than where we live, the moms don't answer the phone,  they weren't married so there is no decree or anything about visitation. and if we have any rights we don't know about that. We faithfully pay child support for both each month even though we never get to see them.

 

We have only seen Keersten 3 times since we have been married and she is 7. Not for lack of trying though that's for sure..

 

The last 6  months the mom has been better and now that  Keersten is older she can talk on the phone and have her own thoughts and opinions about things

 

 

 

 

They came down to Roy, Utah which is like 1.5 hours from where we live, and called and said we could have her overnight. um.. WHAT??????  we though for sure the mom was sick. Well of course we said yes. we hadn't seen in her 2 years, I was like 2 weeks away from my due date last time we went and saw her..

 

It was super nerve racking but it was just one night and it turned out good. I had already made other plans to go listen to a concert with my friend but it gave them good bonding time they went to trafalga. samarah loved having her around

 

Lol samarah just kicked back chillin I love it

 

tried to get all of us in the picture

 

it was hard. haha

 

this one (above) is pretty good lol at least we are all smiling

 

then we decided we had to try to get the dog in

 

she has to get a lick in always

 

(Above look at samarah behind me chilling with my glasses on haha she is awesome) oh and below actually. she's like laughing and looking cool with her glasses. keersten is getting sick of smililng.. casey can't stop licking. haha awesome pictures.

 

Not going to lie it was kind of weird, I have always known about Keersten but where she hasn't really been a part of our life it as kind of a shock but she is a good kid and chris was so so so happy so i'm glad things are going better.

 

He took her back to Roy the next day and that was that. for now
