13.4.10

It's been awhile...

It's been over a month since I've updated but what a month it's been!!!

Just a quick re-cap...pictures to come:

*On March 5th our little buy turned the big 01! We had a big family party and he got spoiled rotten! So much so mommy actually returned a couple gifts...he won't be missing them!

*We had an AWESOME girl's weekend in LA for spring break- Sean's mom and sister Lynsie, My mom and I, and Sean's aunt Kelly and her daughter Courtney- shopped out little hearts out!!!!

*On March 18th my grandpa Woodie passed away at the ripe old age of 100 we had a graveside service on March 27th and then a nice memorial service on April 10. It was a great celebration of his long,full life. He as such a great man - a hard worker, lover of food, family and the Gospel. He will be missed but he'll also be welcomed by his 15 siblings and his parents. What a reunion!

*On March 26 Sean's "Aunt Netty" also left this world to be with Heavenly Father. She was only 54 and it was quited unexpected. She had a heart attack and was kept alive on a ventilator until her boys, siblings and parents could say their goodbyes. We celebrated her life on April 12. It was THE reunion. I think the entire family was there except Aaron (who's on his mish in Brazil). It was such a bittersweet day. She had some trials in her life but she was so greatly loved. Aunt Annette you will be missed!!!

After all of this it's such an awakening. It was a roller coaster month, highs and lows and more lows. I know I've said it before but it has truly taught me even more so how precious each day is to us. I cannot express how thankful I am for the knowledge that I have through the Gospel. I don't know what I would do without it. I just have to end by saying I LOVE my families, both sides. I have the best family around me, I've been so blessed. Thanks to everyone who is reading this for your friendship and support!!!
