Colter's Rock

Ryan's buddy Colter discovered a rock - and the rock is named Colter's rock.  Colter wanted us to come up and take the hike with him to this rock.  Saturday morning we drove up to Willard and did the hike.  This was our first time out hiking as a family this year and it was a fun time.  The rock has some petroglyphs on it which were really neat to see in person.  We tried to get some pictures of them, but they don't do it justice.

The rest of the weekend we spent up in Heber at Collie and Zach's house.  Ryan met up with Jared and went fishing - he caught his first fish of the year.  We helped Collie get ready for the family coming up to celebrate Zach's birthday.  We went to church with them and then it was time for everyone to come up.  Zach's family also came up for dinner and cake/ice cream.  It was a great stay-cation!

Grandma's Funeral

Grandma's funeral was on Friday, May 3, 2013.  I arrived at 8:30 am and was the first one there - I pulled up at the same time as the hearse.  Collie and Macy were going to do grandma's hair and everyone else was going to set up.  We had a bunch of grandma's pictures set up and some of her sculptures.  Collie and Zach made a nice video with pictures of everyone in it.  That was playing during the viewing.  It was a real nice viewing and funeral service.  I was asked to give the grand kid tribute.  I asked all of the grand kids for their favorite memory of grandma and shared those.  I held it together throughout the whole thing, which was something I was very nervous about.  The funeral was exactly an hour. We went to the Salt Lake City cemetery for the graveside service.  The Garden Park ward relief society had a lovely lunch prepared for us and every one was ready for that after a long morning!  Everyone was so nice and kept saying how sweet and nice grandma was.  Grandma's friend Ione came to the viewing and that really touched me.  She ran the halls with grandma at Canyon Creek for the last year and they were best friends.  Ione mentioned how much she is going to miss grandma.

Grandma D.

Monday, morning (4/29) at 5:55 am my cute grandma passed away.  She had been in an assisted living facility in Sandy for over a year and had the beginnings of dementia.  She went into the hospital about a month ago for pneumonia - but come to find out it was caused by her swallowing food and it would go into her lungs.  After the hospital determined they wouldn't be able to do anything about the pneumonia she left there and went to CareSource, a facility on 4500 South and 1600 East for people who need extra special care.  She was basically bed bound from that point on and declined rapidly.  Tammy was able to come from Georgia a couple of weekends ago to see grandma and everyone in the family was able to see her and spend time with her.  She stopped eating and was drinking very little at the beginning of last week - so we knew it was only a matter of time before she would pass away.  

My dad called at 6:30 am on Monday morning to tell me the news that she had passed.  Even though we all knew it was coming, it still doesn't make the news any easier to take.  I finished getting ready and dropped Nolan off at his school.  I stopped by CareSource on my way to work and i'm glad that I did.  Paulie, Scottie, Nae, mom and dad were all there making arrangements for the funeral.  They asked me to talk at the funeral on behalf of the grandkids and share memories with grandma.  We all went to Chuckarama with everyone that night.  

Grandma was the nicest person I have known.  She never raised her voice at anyone and loved living the gospel.  She will be missed and I will miss her a lot, but am glad she is finally reunited with grandpa.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Since everyone was already together for Nolan's party in the morning we decided it would be fun to go out to dinner to celebrate Dad's birthday.  We ended up going to Tepanyaki and that place never disappoints!  It was nice being with everyone at dinner.

After dinner when we went to start our car, it wouldn't start.  Luckily, Josh and Macy had parked next to us and were able to give us a jump start.  We went straight to AutoZone since it was close to 8:00 pm and most places were closed at that time.  They determined that we did need a new battery since our charge was low.  I ran Ryan and Nolan home and headed back to AutoZone.  We replaced the battery and hope this one will last just as long as the other one did (we never had to change it and we've had the car 5 years). 

Nolan's Second Birthday Party a Tracy Aviary

Saturday (April 27) at 10:00 am we met at Tracy Aviary in Liberty Park for Nolan's second birthday.  I made some invitations and sent them out to family.  Jared, Josh, Macy, Mom, Dad, Collie, Zach, Easton, Corbin, Nolan, and Ryan we all there.  We missed the other members of the family that couldn't make it.  We walked around the aviary and watched a bird show.  When everyone had seen everything, we had cake/ice cream and pizza at the park and opened presents.  Nolan was spoiled and this is what he received: splash and play table; bubbles and an automatic bubble blower; a basketball; soft bowling set and a cute Tails book; and a fun monster book.  It was a fun day and Nolan loved spending time with everyone and seeing all the birds.
