Grandma Daily

My grandma Dolly Daily passed away on Nov. 17th. She will be missed by all. I know, another post for another funeral. I know, I really need more uplifting things to post about! I promise, the next one will be happy. We lived with grandma when we first moved to Hurricane in 1991. I haven't ever had a very good relationship with her- it's complicated- but I will miss her in my life.

Last week was full of scrambling to find airline tickets that wouldn't make us broke so I could fly out to Utah for the services, finding somewhere for the kids to go while I was gone & preparing for 3 kids' birthday parties I would have to do as soon as I came home & also Thanksgiving. We flew home Tuesday night, & I am now getting back to normal, I think. Ask my family, Am I normal? They would say 'no'. LOL

If nothing else I got to see a lot of family while out there. It's sad that the only time we get together in years, is for a funeral. I loved spending time with family, especially my brother, Dean & sister, Anne, who I don't usually get to see while out there. Dean lives in Texas & Anne lives in Florida. So, I loved getting to see them. I actually had a great time. Emily came with me. She did pretty good. My kids are always a little whiny when we go out of town. Not sure why, but it just happens. We were very blessed that all of our flights we on time & it only took about 10 minutes to get through security. The flights were smooth & Emily & I had a good time together.

Funny Emily

I just had to share this with you......

Emily loves pretending she is shopping. She goes around the house with her shopping cart & pretends to shop.She picks stuff up out of the pantry & puts it in her cart, takes it to her 'kitchen' & cooks us dinner. I have found granola bars, crackers & popcorn in her kitchen before. We also found a rotten tomato in the 'microwave'. She is so cute! Anyway, she also has a little cash register with fake money. She pretends to buy things & puts the money in her purse along with her cell phone & sunglasses. I don't have any idea where she gets this from!! lol(those are the things I always have in my purse.)

So, I went shopping the other day. I was at the check out at Target. I get out my wallet & there along with my money, was Emily's play money, folded in half, like I have my money. I burst out laughing & the checker asked what was so funny. I showed her. Laughing, she said 'if only that would really work!' I couldn't stop smiling the whole way home. She is so stinkin' cute. I just love the way she thinks! What a smart girl! I am so glad I raised a good shopper.

Adam's Pics

I took Adam tonight to get his pics taken for the year. I thought they turned out pretty good. It took about 5 minutes to do too. I love it when they get older, for that reason! Here's a few of them. Let me know what you think.

This is the one we chose.
