Mother's Day, Funeral, Track Meet

If that isn't a hodge podge of topics I don't know what is. :)

Mother's day was good to me. The kids made me gifts of course and Dh got me some good ones too. I got BYU fudge mix so I can make their famous fudge at home, a book of "momisms" or things that moms say and what they really mean, and the book "The last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. I'm excited to read it. I saw him on TV and he is pretty amazing considering his situation. His attitude is extraordinary! I didn't get breakfast in bed this year because we have early church and it's too hard to get ready ontime as it is. :) Church was good and they gave us candy instead of flowers that I would've killed anyway. lol One of these days my black thumb will turn green...

After church we all got packed and ready to head to Idaho for the viewing/funeral for our wonderful Grandpa Nash. We had an uneventful trip and let me tell you that I am LOVING having a DVD player in the car for long trips! It is a life saver. I don't know how we did it growing up with out something like that. We grabbed a bite to eat at Grandma's house (she has received so much food from friends, neighbors and ward members that she'll have her 2nd year supply soon). Then we headed over to the viewing. I have to admit that I am not a fan of viewings and avoid them when I can, but this is family so we had to go. I told the kids they didn't have to look at him if they didn't want to, but if they did they could go with their Dad. Jason Jr. went and Emily did too, just not as close up as Jason. Jason Jr. was quite emotional and Emily just wanted to get out of there so she didn't have to be quiet anymore. :) After spending some time there in support of my mil we headed back to the hotel so we could attempt to get some sleep. I didn't sleep much at all, but everyone else seemed to do great.

The funeral was Monday and it was really nice. I loved hearing stories about when Grandpa was small and when my mil was a child and learning more about Grandpa than I knew. He was a service oriented man, but he wasn't boastful about it at all, but several people mentioned that if something needed done he'd be the first one there to do it with a smile on his face. It was nice to see family again and to catch up with them. After the luncheon we headed home. Everyone did great--until we hit about Lehi and Liam started to scream because he wanted out of his car seat. He continued screaming until we got him home and out of his seat. Other than that it was an uneventful drive. I got a cute picture of Liam with Grandma and another one with his cousin that is only one day younger than him.

Today was the kids' track meet and they both had a great time. I think they had more fun showing off their brother than actually running etc, but it was fun to watch them. blogger is having issues again...or maybe it's my computer, but I can't get any more pictures to go on here. I've been working on this for a couple days so I'm giving up.
