I forced a family picture right when we arrived the morning of the funeral. We don't all usually look that spiffy at 8:30 am every morning, so I had to remember it. My family is growing up right before my eyes and I thankful I captured this moment in time.
The viewing turned out nice. Sunday night was busy, a lot of family and friends came to show their support and express their love for my sweet Grandma Corinne. She will be missed by many.
I was able to say a few words at the funeral. It was hard to put into words my love for Grandma. She was a gem. I am going to try harder to be more like her, judge less, love more and maybe even hum a little.
Landon was an Honorary Pallbearer, but they let him carry the casket with the men. He was honored and proud he could help. I know he will remember this day forever. Sweet Preston is the one that had the hardest time through it all. My little tender heart cried and cried. Uncle John spoke to him at the funeral and gave an analogy of death like going from one room to another. Grandma has just changed rooms, and though we can't see her today or even tomorrow, I know we will see her again. She is waiting for us and will be there to greet us when it is our turn.
It was a nice day honoring Grandma. I am thankful I could have her in my life.
We had a luncheon after. There is nothing like a family, and I have a great one.
We love you Grandma.
God be with you till we meet again.
The Wolfpack (a new St. George club team) asked Landon to play with them in the Color Country Classic baseball tournament. This was his last 8U (8 and under) tournament. I guess he is growing up, even in baseball. Dang it... ;) It was a Friday Saturday tournament and we thought about staying over, since the last game on Friday got over at 8ish and then he had to be back in Cedar by 7:00 am for his 8:00 am game the next morning, but we didn't. Gavin and my Dad just went up early Saturday morning and Mom and I (with the kids) came later. The crazy thing was Gavin and Landon had to go back to St. George after the second game to weigh in for football. While they did that we hung out in Cedar and had a little Costa Vida (Yum!) and the best shaved ice this side of the Virgin River! :) We made it to the championship game so Gavin and Landon drove back to Cedar just in time for it to down pour! We waited around and the rain stopped. They ended up playing the Championship game it just got over late that night. Talk about a crazy Saturday... which made getting up for 9:00 o'clock church Sunday even harder! We did make it though, maybe (or maybe not) a little late! :) Typical, we're never late for a sporting event, but to church, now that's a different story.
