I need to get a copy of the Obituary for Grandma Smith, but until then, we’ll record what we remember from the funeral. Abe remembered that Grandma Smith told her grand-daughter Marni that she needed to be a cub scout leader. So – Marni asked to be the Wolf Leader for her boys. Hannah remembered […]
Before the funeral we let the kids run off some energy at the park by the St. George Tabernacle. Oh, they smiled… and laughed… and had a great time. Truman was happy! He needs sun, grass, wind, and exercise. Liza wasn’t sure what to think about grass… but soon realized it was safe to run […]
We stayed at Jimmy’s Aunt’s Family’s house. Did that make sense? It’s an extra house they keep for relatives passing through town. It was great! Our family had the master bedroom. We had 3 air mattresses for the oldest three. Tru and Liza ended up sleeping in our king-size bed. Liza didn’t sleep well at […]
This past weekend we drove to St. George to spend time with Jimmy’s family… to attend Grandma Smith’s funeral. We spent oh, like 12+ hours in the van. Overall… I’d say the kids did pretty well… Ipods and Jimmy’s Tablet with movies helped everyone. Zuzu had the hardest time. See everyone all cozied up… Tru […]
jimmy came home from work yesterday with these happy flowers. they make my heart happy. he is my love. today we painted eliza’s nails. We – meaning I painted, Max picked the colors. He really wanted her to have red fingernails for Valentine’s Day. She was so curious about it all that she held still. […]
my dad emailed me this quote tonight. it was timely. wasn’t that sweet of him?
This weekend things were getting rough… we’d all been together all week being sick at home. We needed some encouragement. So I instigated this:I love my family! Max loves to learn new phrases in Spanish. When tensions were high, I would call out “Amo a mi familia” and a few would repeat it cheerfully (mostly […]
Zuzu’s hair is getting quite long these days. It is half-way down her back when wet. When dry it boiiiiings back up to it’s cute style. We think that she has hobbit hair. Can you see that she could be Sam & Rosie Gamgee’s child with her curls? p.s. she does not have large hairy […]
Today was Tru’s first day in Sunbeams in our new ward. I was nervous (remember how he got kicked out for spitting on the floor in our other ward). Well… upon picking Tru up from his class, his teacher said he was so good, “He was beautiful”. Bless her soul! And bless little Truman. I’m […]
The other morning when I was blow-drying my hair, I had a funny movie clip come to mind. It has quite made my week. Remember in the 3 Amigos when Lucky Day gets put in El Guapo’s dungeon and is locked up? I’d reenact if for you if you were in my home, but ya […]
