funeral weekday



the flowers were beautiful



the casket was beautiful





at the burial site



saying bye bye to mimi


this one is crashed out while having a snack before we head back to boise for the night


it is always sad to have to meet with family (sometime it seems like the only time we get to see them) on such a sad moment in time, but we are so grateful for our plan of salvation to see grandma great again!! shaydon did so well with all aspects of his 1st death in either of our family's. we showed him pix of them together and talked about seeing her in heaven some day. "jesus is taking care of her right now" he wanted to see her in the casket and asked why her eyes were closed? he said he will miss her as we all will. happy she gets to see her husband again!! since i am posting this sooo long after the fact i can tell you a story of when shaydon went in to get his 1st cast off. we got there a little early and we were sitting in the truck he said in a really sad low voice "i wish grandma great would be here with me? i said she is sweet heart she is looking at you from heaven. he said to me but her eyes were closed, MOM?!!! so we talked about how the body is here on earth and the spirit goes to heaven and he was okay with it and new she was going to help him be soo brave!! i just love the sweetness of shaydon's personality. i love you!!

what is in full swing?

YARD SALES

this was about the 4th weekend i have gotten to go!



not pictured: snow shovel, 2 bag of fertilizer, kids table and 4 chairs

what a day......this is the most stuff i have EVER bought in one day of yard saling in my life. i pretty much felt guilty and stoped going to houses because i was in the car and wouldn't be able to get it home. not very often do you find that many yard sales with boy stuff. it was very exciting that I had to call my friend rebecca and my mom to celebrate with. they reassured me me i didn't over spend! i can't even list everything i got, but i will say that i spent $63.00 for about 85 items & paid about 50 cents per item. CRAZY huh!! here are a few of my favorites:

3 melissa and doug puzzles and a shopping cart cover for slater, north face jacket and tie for scott, tonz of hurley/quicksilver clothes for shaydon to grow into & a cardigan and sweatshirt for me! not to mention some stuff for bailey!

good thing our neighborhood is having a yard sale next weekend!

indoor smore's



i promised shaydon dessert for eating so well at dinner and i let him choose what he wanted. he wanted smore's in the fire pit! i said okay not realizing that scott wasn't going to be home to get everything ready. so last minute instead of canceling on him i talked him into indoor smore's. he thought it was GREAT!

and ended with shaydon falling into the fountain/waterfall with his week old cast!! ugh...


I said a few things i shouldn't of on the temple grounds... I am going to hell!!

spent the rest of the afternoon with the blow dryer in the bathroom

and trying to get a 3 year old to sit still... man his he testing me!
