Two weeks ago tuesday (soo, Jan 20th), my great-grandma passed away. It was a sad day, but I know she is probably rejoicing in not being bound to her earthly body anymore, that was failing. We'll miss her so much! My mom decided to come out for the funeral that week, and drove out that thursday, the 22nd. We had a great trip!
Highlights of having Grandma here! (she has pictures, I'll have to get them and post them)
1. Matt and I had a date night! Woo!! Thanks to Grandma for watching the kids so we could go out.
2. Endless Hogi Yogi icecream... soo good!
3. My mom stayed out late and partied with her parents and sisters. One night she was out till 1:30 am! She's a party animal! What fun for her though.
4. Grandma getting to come to church with us. Jordyn was soo excited to show Grandma Liz her sunbeam class.
5. Weather. Yes, weather was very kind to me (although not my mom). My mom tried going home 2 days in a row, and the weather just would not let her, so we got to keep my mom here for longer than we planned. Monday was bad weather. Tuesday, she tried leaving, only to make it to SL to find out that I-80 was closed! She turned around and stayed another night. What fun for us!
Then the next day, the sickness decided to hit our house. I got the flu, and the kids caught some colds. I am just glad they didn't get the flu! It seems to be going around. Matt was able to come home from work early on friday and take care of the kids.
Highlights of me having the flu? Oh, I'll tell you:
1. Unluckily for me, I fell asleep on the couch while not feeling well, and Matt was at work. Tyler decided to wake me up by shoving a spoon full of applesauce in my mouth while I was sleeping. Not a fun way to wake up! I guess I learned my lesson.
2. The kids had a blast with almost no supervision! They pulled off all the couch cushions and lined the hallway and living room. Then jumped around like frogs.
3. 3 days of dishes and laundry accumulated in my house. Poor Matt :)
4. Applesauce on my entry way, and laundry on my kitchen floor!
5. Finally getting better. I tell ya, there is nothing that feels better, than getting better after you're sick.
So, here we are today! Superbowl on, and I'm finally feeling better. Although we still skipped out on our superbowl party- just in case. So, I will be back to blogging fun in no time! And I'll have pictures to post here in the next few days. :)

I'm so sorry to hear about your Great-Grandma, Carolyn! That's sad, but also happy - knowing where she's at and that she's not in pain anymore and that you'll see her again.
How nice to have your mom with you! Aren't grandma's great!! I have to ask, though, what is Hogi Yogi ice cream?? I'm a huge ice cream fan and have never heard of this. Just curious.
And I'm so sorry to hear that you were sick. That's just awful!! But I have to say that Jonah and I got a kick out of the applesauce story. =) That was great!
Sorry to hear you were sick and that your great-grandma died. Glad you are on the mend. And. . . an apple a day keeps the doctor away. . . how does that relate to applesauce? Maybe Tyler knows something we don't know?? Something to thing about.
Glad you guys are doing well and you are feeling better!!! I hear ya on that, there is nothing better then feeling better! James and I both got food poisoning last weekend and that was NOT fun! gosh its not easy having kids and being sick, you can't just lay around all day!
sorry to hear about your great grandma, It helps (in some way) to think they are in a much better place then we are!)
take care
