Families are Forever

 

 

 

 

My grandpa passed away on Monday so all of my siblings and spouses were here and all grandkids but 4. It was too long of a drive from CA to bring them for a quick trip. He was 85 and had alzheimers and was ready to home as he said. The funeral was Sat. It was good. He was such a jolly man always tickling, laughing, teasing. He will be missed. He was a veteran of WW2 and so they did the military service at the graveside. It was neat. He lived a good life raised 8 great kids and had a huge posterity, 46 grandkids and 89 great grandkids. All of the cousins were there but 4 and two of them are on missions. Pretty awesome, I would say. So while we were together we took some family pictures. We didn't include the grandkids because we were missing some. So we took individual families, siblings and spouses, boys, and girls. It was so fun to be together even for the few minutes that we were. I have such an awesome family and thank my Heavenly Father everyday for them. Thanks for making the effort to do pictures and to be together. Families really are forever.

Be Careful

I was at a friends house last night and she was telling me a story that I think is worth repeating. She said that Sat. something was bothering her, that she felt danger and she didn't know what the feeling was. She didn't sleep at all that night early Sun. morning she told her husband that she felt like she needed to delete her blog. Weird but she had a very strong feeling. So later she deleted it after she had copied it to a folder. Her sister-in-law called her that same morning and said "I'm deleting my blog" The sister-in-law had typed in her name and it was the first thing that came up in google and my friends blog was was linked to hers. Anyways to make a long story understandable(?) her blog had been viewed 1.4 million times. She has her town, her childrens school, tons of pictures, all sorts of info on there. There was anarticle done on blogging in SLC and the person pulled up a random blog and was at there house in 10 minutes. There are so many freaks out there be careful what you put on your blog because anyone can take it and claim it as theirs. I am going to be even more careful than I am about what pictures I use and what I say. I may even go private. I typed our names in and my blog name and nothing came up so I think I will wait for now on the private thing. Sorry to be so doom and gloom but better safe than sorry.

a day in the life of M

I need to take pictures and replace the pictures that are on the wall so I thought one child at a time. I took about 40 pictures and none of them turned out. She is moving in them, picking her nose, doing sommersaults, you name it. She is impossible to take pictures of. Unless she is sitting on the toilet with her shirt over her head or she is afraid to get down after she has scaled the pantry shelves trying to get bubbles. I don't know how they would look on the living room wall though. What a joy they are.

PARTY REMINDER

My candle/jewelry party is Thurs and Sat. The official time for Thursday is 6:58 but you are welcome anytime. Saturday is from 10-12. Say you saw this reminder and I will give you something for free no purchase necessary. They sell some Willow tree statues and I ordered the Nativity and love it. Candles make great gifts too. As does jewelry. Hope to see you there. Tell your friends. Just for fun bring a friend and I will throw in another freebie. You can probably smell the candles from my blog they are sooo good.
