As many of you have heard, Nathan's grandma on his fathers side passed away almost 2 weeks ago unexpectedly. We were so blessed to have had them visit us just a few days before hand. The kids loved talking their ear off and playing with their dog Cassie. They live in Ogden and were on their way to Oregon to visit Nathan's parents when grandma quit breathing in Pendleton Oregon. We drove down for the viewing/funeral last Friday. It was great to see all the family you don't get to see very often. Nathan's aunts, uncles and cousins are so awesome. The viewing went fine until Ella said she had to go potty, we made it to the bathroom but not to the toilet so she peed all over her underwear and sandals. Of course I didn't have any back up clothes so she went without panties for the rest of the night. I had to make sure she sat like a lady, that was a chore. During the funeral while Nathan's uncle was speaking, Ella is next to me "whispering" (do kids know who to whisper?? NO!) about how she wants her panties back!!! AHHHHH. How embarrassing. Ethan is asking why Grandma is in a box?? and if he can look in there. Skip to the next day, we get up to Grandma Oni cooking Emma a lb of bacon for her birthday. Emma ate 9 of the 13 pieces!
Every time we go to Grandma Oni's house the kids have to take a bubble bath in her jet tub. Super fun, but I do think Emma is getting a bit big to go in with the little kids.
Before driving to Ogden for the actual burial we made a quick stop to visit Nathan's great grandma who passed away earlier this year.
We arrived at the cemetery for the burial and one of the first things Ethan says is " If any zombies come up from the graves I will kill them!" (too many video games I think) The ceremony was very nice and short, Nathan's cousin played the bag pipes. We all got together afterward for dinner, it was fun to talk to all the cousin and family.
After another greasy breakfast we left for Boise, going out of town if nice but we were glad to be home.
