Busy!

So, we have had a pretty busy couple of weeks. My Grandpa died last Saturday and the funeral was last Tuesday. My mom, knowing that I need to feel busy and needed during a time like this (its how my dad and I both cope with stress, we go into turbo mode and begin to organize), gave me the assignment of doing an arrangement from all the grandkids. I was a little flustered about this because I have never ordered or none one! My mom suggested asking my very talented mother-in-law to help me. So I recruited my mother-in-law, and WOW! She did awesome! She took me to Porters where we got flowers and then to a craft store that had the fishing stuff that I wanted to put in it. All my relatives were so impressed that they were fighting over who got to keep the arrangement. My Grandma won out, but there are already debs about how gets when she dies! It was that good! So thanks, Diane! You are AMAZING!

I took some pictures when we were at the burial that I thought turned out pretty good. My way of saying goodbye.My dad is the only really active member in his family and so it was hard to watch all my cousins and relatives having such a hard time. It made me so thankful to know the truth that there is life after death and I will see my grandpa again. What peace the gospel brings!

I have also been busy catching up with my calling. Our Primary Presidency decided to do birthday spotlights this year. So whenever its some one's birthday we tell a little about them. Simple, right? It has been a little bit of struggle to get 87 birthday spotlights! But the kids really like it and it has been worth it! That and I was an overachiever in that I decided to get the whole year done by the end of January! Ne ways... we are also doing new Baptism gifts. We decided to take a picture of the temple and then transpose the child's picture on it as well. The first baptism is Saturday and this is how they turned out! What do you think? (And NO, Andrew is not getting baptized. I don't have the picture of the boy yet so I figured that this would work for now.)

Ne ways... I want to try harder to blog more. Call it my resolution for the year. I also want to make more comments on my friends blog,so watch out!
