Great Grandma

I would like to say that things have been kinda crazy around here, and that's why I have been absent.  But....it just doesn't seem legitimate when I haven't blogged since August.  Ops!  I might try to post catch-up posts, but for now I just need to move forward.  

We had the opportunity to spend the evening with Kent's Grandma today.  She is an adorable, spry and amazing 98 year old lady.  She is quick with a smile and so sweet.  I am so glad we went to see her today.  

One of the reasons we went today is my MIL Kay is leaving on an LDS mission to the Ukraine (yup, the Ukraine) in a few weeks.  Today was the last opportunity we had to see Kay and Great Grandma.  (Aren't they cute).  

We brought G-Grandma a corsage and being super girly, she loved it.  


 The best of the group...here is the 4 generation picture.  H was NOT cooperative.


Kent, G-Grandma and Kay. 


G-Grandma has an amazing recall of poems and songs.  She entertained the kids for quite awhile with her adorable songs.  We were all impressed with her ability to recite "Paul Revere's Ride" and the "Gettysburg Address".  Amazing memory at 98!  


Look at these lovely ladies.  Kate is actually the reason we felt the need to go.  She is such a little sweetheart.  She went to Kent the other day and said, "Dad, I don't really know my great-grandma, and I want to meet her."  (Kent's heart melted)  Despite our hectic schedule, we decided that we needed to go.  (If someone that sweet thinks we need to go, we need to go).

 I am SO glad we went.  I think Kane and G-Grandma instantly clicked.  Her room was pink, lacy, flowery, filled with dolls and everything Kate could want.  Kate even got to hold a special little doll (baby) and G-Grandma told Kate all about the baby.


 They were just so cute together.  I know G-Grandma is hard of hearing, and I thought it would be tough or even frustrating to try to hear Kate (who has the voice of a young, quiet Snow White), but they got along famously.


 I was impressed at how well my shy little lady snuggled up to her Great Grandma.  I think there was something special between them, something I can't explain.  I am so glad Kate will have memories of her sweet little Grandma Price.  (Hopefully we can even go see her soon).


Even though they didn't know each other, there was love between them.


90+ years separate these two, but deep down they are kindred spirits.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
