I just got back in town lastnight after spending three days down in the valley with my Granny. My Grumpa passed away on Wednesday night. It was such a privelage for me to be able to help her and spend time with her. I am so sad for her. And I'll really miss my Grumpa. I'm very glad I was able to see him the day he passed away.
He was such a sweetheart. He wanted Granny to take him home so bad. He didn't like being in the hospital. All the nurses were saying how sweet h was to them though. He cheered up a bit when we brought him a cheese crisp from the cafeteria. He wasn't a big fan of the hospital food. Granny and I decided that we were going to bring him a breakfast burrito in the morning when we came back. He was very alert and pretty coherent as well. He seemed to be aware of his surroundings most of the time, which is a big change from when I saw him last week. I was shocked to find out that he passed away that night. He semmed to be doing so much better than when I saw him last week.
I'm so glad that I went down there to help my Granny. I was able to be with her when she needed help finding out what to do after his passing, and choose a mortuary. I was able to go with her to a small viewing on Friday morning. The mortuary dressed him in his temple clothes and he looked so good. I'm so glad Grandma was able to see him looking so wonderful and peaceful. The mortuary really did a wonderful job with him, and it made Granny so happy to see him looking so good and in his temple clothes.
I'm headed up to Eagar tomorrow for the funeral.
Also, it seems like when it rains, it pours. I just found out from my dad that my Mom was admited to the hospital lastnight for pneumonia. Why does everything happen all at once? I am emotionally exausted.
Anyway, I'm feeling so thankful for my Granny and the wonderful woman that she is. I'm so sorry for her sadness. I love and admire her so much.
I'm thankful that she has been able to be married to my grandpa. They were so cute together. They loved eachother so much. He will be missed by many.

Tagged twice!
I've been tagged twice in the last few weeks, so here goes!
Seven random wierd/random facts about me:
1.)I have a major sweet tooth. I love sweets! Mainly chocolate. But no surprise there, right?
2.)I have a strange thing about my belly button. I can't stand anything touching it. Brent thinks this is hilarious when he pokes me in my belly button and I have to remove his finger immediately because it drives me CrAzY!!
3.)This one's a shocker to me, but I have minivan envy. Yeah, I know! Me, anti-minivan girl, a minivan?! No WAY! But yes, I do. I'm envious of all my friends that have the convenience of a minivan. I LOVE my Honda Element, but it's downfall will be that it only seats four, so I can never give any of Kaden's friends a ride since we're already full with just the two kids. It's a major inconvenience at times. I've already decided that our next car will be either a Toyota Sienna or a Honda Odyssey.
4.) I'm in the Primary presidency for my calling. I got called there about two months ago. I LOVE IT! In all honesty, I've been in primary before but I never liked it. This time it's different though. I think this is my favorite calling I've ever had. I'm having so much fun and I love the ladies that I'm serving with.
5.) I hate chemistry! But you caould probably already tell that from my previous posts. I'm still playing catch-up. I'll be so glad when this class is done!
6.) I'm uber baby-hungry. I'd be all for getting preggers right now if Brent was ready yet. But he's not quite there. I have very hard pregnancies, and the thought of me getting pregnant scares the bejeebers out of him. So I'm hoping maybe within a year. Hopefully! Brent wants to be done with two kids, and I want just one more.
7.) I love holidays. All holidays. Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas.... Although my favorite is Christmas, and I tend to go a little overboard on gifts for my kiddo's. I feel okay about that though, because they don't get a ton of toys the rest of the year (besides birthdays obviously).

Busy times!
Last weekend we went up to my parent's and had a fun time. It's always such a nice break to go visit them. Kaden LOVES to be at Grandma's.
We also found out on Friday that Brent's grandpa passed away. He had pancreatic cancer which spread through his whole body. He was only diagnosed about two months ago, and it moved so fast. We are so sad about his passing. Brent really loved his Grandpa. We'll be driving up to Utah on Friday morning. My mom is keeping the kids for us while we're gone so I'm meeting her in Show Low on Thursday morning. We'll be driving back on Sunday, so it will be a pretty short trip. Brent's dad and sister will be riding up with us, and his mom is already up there. She flew up last week to help out and she'll be flying back after the funeral.
Until we leave, I have LOADS of homework to catch up on (I'm still two weeks behind, but I have an A so far). And I have LOADS of laundry to do.
I'm going to try to go visit my grandpa tomorrow. He's in a hospital down in Phoenix, and from what I hear he's not doing very good. I'm so sad about it. He's on ornery old cuss, but I love him. I always call him Grumpa because he's so grumpy, but he loves it when I call him that. I think he likes people to think he's ornery, but he's really sweet inside. He doesn't fool me. I'll be picking up my Granny on the way to go visit him.
Also, I have another job. That makes a grand total of THREE! I have my business that I run part time from home, and I babysit eight kids on Tuesday's and now I just got hired on at the hospital as a CNA working nights. I'll only be scheduled for two nights a month, and I can sign up for extra shifts where I can work them in. I'm excited to be working at the hospital, since it's in the same general field that I'm going to school for (nursing).
