Thriller, Funeral and Staples

Saturday morning my 9-months prego seester and I went to the Bountiful Temple. It was so nice. I’m embarrassed to admit I haven’t been since I was released as a volunteer when the Ogden temple closed back in April.

Later Caleb took me to Thriller!!! I LOVE it so much.

I was glad we accidentally got a creepy photobomber in our Thriller pictures.

My sweet Grandma Smith passed away this week. You can read her obituary here.

Grandma loved when I would bring her egg plants from my in-laws garden.

Last month when she had to get her finger pricked before her dialysis the nurse asked, "do you have a preference of which finger to use?" My smart alec grandma replied with "Yeah, yours"

My dad told a story my grandma's sister had wrote about when they were younger. My great grandpa told her and my grandma to spit out their gum and go to bed. As they got into their bedroom she asked how she still had gum, my grandma's response was, "don't you wish you would've bit yours in half." Haha

Here's my sweet mom with her mom.

I love you grandma. Who am I going to take shopping now? I miss you.

  

At the funeral Caleb put Brooke and Ash up in a tree so they wouldn't be in the way. =)

Kim took two pictures of Caleb and I at the gravesite up in Eden. Neither of us were ready for either so this is the better option. Thanks Kim, you're a peach.

The whole family at the gravesite, it was such a nice service everything including the weather was perfect. But it is nice to have it all over with so now we can move on and heal.

Now onto the staples… Thursday during work I got a call from Caleb saying Indee had fell at school and needed stitches. (Mike and Kathy had just left that morning on a two-week cruise to Istanbul, Turkey, and Greece) When I got to the school Indee was bawling in the nurses office holding an icepack on her head. I nearly lost it right then. But knew I had to be strong for her in this scary situation. With a little help from Feliz we learned the insurance card was taped to the fridge with authorization to treat all of the kids. So we went to the instacare. This next picture was of us hanging out in the waiting room. (Clearly we pulled our selves together)

Here is a picture of the battle wound. She was going to sit back in her chair but thought it was closer so she fell to the ground and bumped the back of her head on her chair.

  The battle wound. Three staples. Poor Indee was so scared she asked if she could wait until her parents got back, but the doctor said no. So once we got to the surgical room she asked the doctor and nurse if she could “have a moment with her sister” =) I told her we better get this done and that it is just three little staples. (3 staples not being put in my own head) Anyway, she asked if we could say a prayer. Seriously, is she the sweetest little thing ever? So we did, and it turned out to be a really quick process. She said cleaning the wound out was worse than the actual staples.

 

Now onto the funny part… When we pulled into the driveway we decided to play a joke on Feliz and Gavin. I told them that Indee had lost her memory but that the doctors said it should come back soon. Feliz just stared at her a little unsure what to think. But Gavin was so freaked out. He wouldn’t come near her. Then Indee and I started laughing and told them we were teasing.
