The past couple of weeks have flown by... My Grandma Verl passed away on Mon, Oct 27. She is pictured here with my neice, Caislee, in 2006. We headed up for her funeral in Flowell on Wednesday. It was very sad to say goodbye, but she was ready. She had been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (cancer) three years ago and chose not to go through treatments. She never did have any pain, but was on Oxygen for the past six months, or more, due to trouble breathing. I grew up next to her and would always visit her. She let me do her make-up and hair and was
so patient with me. She taught me many things and I miss her and love her very much!
The only thing
good about funerals, is the opportunity to get together with family. I saw my cousins, uncles and aunts that I haven't seen in years.
My dad, who is my Grandma's son, had three brothers. They are pictured here with their wives. To the left is a picture of my parents, my sisters Kelly and Cortney and their families, my sister Mandy and brother Lee. On Halloween, I dressed up with my co-workers as a pirate. That evening, my family and I, headed down to St. George for Dylan's baseball tournament. He didn't even get to trick-or-treat, but Ashley and I went out to a friend of mine's neighborhood in Washington and took care of the candy thing. She carried Dylan's bag with her and got an extra helping for him. I was still dressed up (the only one at the tournament and the other team happened to be the Pirates). How lucky was that. I did feel a little silly, but it was fun too. Ashley dressed up like a witch, but only while trick-or-treating. She took off her hat and cape the minute we were done.
Taylor stayed in Cedar and went trick-or-treating with her friend Jordan. They dressed up like an old man and woman. Taylor was the old man.
The only picture I had was from Taylor's cell phone and it turned out very small. The next event we had, was Greg's birthday on November 7. He turned 38!
Taylor and her friend Madison made him a cake in the shape of a basketball, since he is coaching their border league team. It turned out very cute.
His parents went to dinner with us and we had a good time.
Well, that's enough for now I suppose. I had to catch up a little. See you soon!
