My grandpa's funeral was today. We drove to Kanab yesterday and then left this afternoon. Quick trip, but worth it. The service was beautiful. Cold and snowy, but very nice. So glad we were able to go.

Jake and his 'fast' swim suit. Apparently, it makes him swim better and faster.

CONGRATS to my awesome hubby for getting promoted to TC at work this last week. We have had a gift card to celebrate since christmas at an amazing sushi restaurant in Park City that we were waiting to use until he got there! We were able to go up this week and celebrate! Yay for him! I am so excited that he made it as he has put so much effort and work into it. SO proud of him!

My sweet niece has been in town the last few weeks. We have LOVED having her here! She keeps all three of my boys entertained like nothing else. She has them playing princess and house and dolls and barbies, which I have never seen my older two do before! She obviously has us all wrapped around her little finger.

I took this picture when Cole was at school and it was just Crew and Isabelle playing. I sat at the door and listened for awhile before they noticed I was there. Crew was the dad. Isabelle was the baby sister and as soon as Stockton walked in, he was the monster. Crew kept telling Isabelle "You my best friend." Love. I don't know what we will do when she has to go back home!

day 48: february 17th

We spent the morning at the hospital and drove back home this afternoon. It was heart wrenching to watch my poor grandpa. He wanted to leave but couldn't talk, so they ended up having to sedate him because he kept pulling his tubes out. I HATE that disease. It is brutal. I hate having to watch what those drugs can do to you. It brings back too many memories that hit a little too close to home. Regardless, I am so glad we went to see him. He is the sweetest man and I have so many memories visiting him and swimming in his back yard while growing up.

Today we got news that my grandpa had taken a turn for the worst. He lives in Las Vegas, so me, my mom and Hilly hopped in a car and drove down to see him. He was diagnosed with throat cancer a few months ago and has been undergoing radiation and chemo. We got to the hospital late and were only able to stay a few minutes as he was very tired and could not talk well because of the radiation.

I am not sure why, but this little man has been obsessed with elephants for the last six months or so. Maybe it has something to do with his Halloween costume. Who knows! Anyways, he got this guy for christmas and now has to sleep with him every night.

We spent most of the afternoon outside riding bikes and racing and throwing the football around. It was BEAUTIFUL! It makes me angry it is supposed to snow again soon. I am more than ready for spring!!

This is what it usually looks like in our house. Wrestling is a daily ritual. They are usually practicing to become ninjas. Boys. I will never understand why this is so much fun...

Both boys had their Valentines parties at school today. I got to help in Cole's class. We had a tea and manners party. The kid makes me laugh. They went around in a circle and told the class who they loved and why. He said he loves Jake. The reason it made me giggle is because they had an AWESOME morning together. Fighting and teasing and even a little yelling in there. They are either the BEST of friends or the worst enemies. No in between at our house!

Today we went to the aquarium while the boys were in school. Crewsers is obsessed with sharks and fish and all things in the water although he was a little timid when it came to touching the sting rays and the starfish. It was much fun.

I have to admit that I cheated today. This every day picture thing is a lot more difficult than I expected it to be! I did not pick up my camera once and so I pulled this from a couple of weeks ago.

This is what you get when you ask two little boys to take a nice picture and to give each other a hug...
