Uplifting Yet Sad

Funerals are nice in one aspect because its a celebration of life and its sooo spiritual. In another aspect its sad to see the ones you love go. Today Spencer and I attended the funeral of our sealer. He was also in our ward and Spencer knew him for many years. He was an awesome man and a wonderful example to all of us. It was like my grandpa dying all over again. They were the same age. It also has us mourning the dying of a great generation. The generation that valued life more than we will ever understand to do. The generation that knew how to work, reuse and loved fellow brotheren more. This generation is speedily disappearing and sometimes it scares me. I just hope that we can learn and remember what they knew and did.

Sick Days Yeah!

I have been sick since Saturday night and have been dying. My kids have not been cooperative and they were really actin gup yesterday. I was beginning to wonder if they were sick themselves. Well, they were up all night last night coughing and I took them to the doctor as well and they have ear infections just like me. I ended up with an ear infection and a sinus infection, thanks to our wonderful allergy season! We are having sooooo much fun!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Connor and Rylee dressed up for St. Patrick's Day. They are wearing there headband and bow tie from Grandma Urrutia.

Just As Excited For Easter As Rylee?

Walmart had free pictures with the Easter Bunny today. Rylee kept screaming bloody murder everytime I tried to get her on the bunny's lap. So at first I just did Connor, but then I got to thinking I want a picture of Rylee even if she is screaming. And they did it and laughed the whole time!

New Shoes

We found out the hard way that Connor can't wear cheap shoes or we have to replace them in a few months. Connor's brand spankin' new shoes he got for Christmas already have holes in them. So I took him to Mervyn's cause they always have a great sale on name brand shoes. He found these light- up sketchers that he loves to death. He is so excited for them even though they aren't transformers.

The Prophet Said To Plant A Garden

Well, since we don't have our own little piece of land to plant on we decided to use pots. Crystal started it. We just had to copy her. But I thought it would be a good idea for Connor to do it. Instead of taking care of a pet he will take care of seedlings. I will show him how to water and when the first couple of days and then let him take over. He is sooooo excited! He even planted some of the seeds. He planted tomatoes and I helped with strawberries since they are way tiny.
