Grandma

We have been really busy moving my grandma from her apartment to a nursing home. She is so sad because she has been able to live on her own for so long. I hope she will like being with people and having help all the time though. We are praying she gets a roommate she likes.

We had to clean out her whole apartment that she has lived in the past 10 years. It was quite the job and only me and my Dad to do it. Me and Lexi went over yesterday and started packing away her china hutch and cleaning out her cedar chest. We were there all day and my Dad thought it would take us all of July to get rid of everything, but me and Brooks spent all day there today and the apartment is empty except for her chair. Can I even begin to tell you how tired we are!! My house is a wreck and my sister comes next week and girls camp is the next week, and I still have to do all the food shopping for camp AAHHHH!! By the way Marci, I have save the "Bust of Ruth" statue for you!

I am grateful that my Grandma is still alive, it would have been a lot tougher to do if I had to deal with emotions too. I am going to miss doing my Grandma's shopping and cleaning every other week, it just won't be the same going to visit in a not so private room. My Grandma is a very strong independent women and I am so grateful for all she has taught and given me. I wish getting older wasn't so hard! Life should get easier as we age not harder.

Temple Celebration and new hair for Lexi

Getting ready for the celebration

don't know why this down loaded twice?

Last Saturday Lexi and Kyler got to perform for the Prophet in a Temple celebration. It was amazing! I wish I could have taken pictures. They had so much fun and said they are sad it is over. Their testimonies grew so much of eternal families and temple work. Thank you to all that made it possible. Here are some pictures of before and of us walking around before it started.

Here are also pictures of Lexi's new hair. A big change because she hasn't had bangs for a long time and we had to fix a hair color gone wrong. She looks gorgeous! Nothing like me, we are total oposites in hair, and eye color. It was fun.
