Price Trip-Last week of January

The girlies and I went to Price week before last for a sudden trip... well, sort of sudden. We had been planning on going down for the first full week of February, but then my uncle passed away so we arranged to go earlier for a shorter trip, but it allowed me to be there for the funeral services.

It was my Uncle Mack Potter, my mom's brother, who passed away. He was such a great man! Thankfully he had been able to live a long, full life and he was surrounded by family who loved him.  He will certainly be missed.

So spontaneously on Tuesday night we decided to go, and by Wednesday morning at 8 am we were on the road.  The 2 days before the funeral were busy! I helped my mom do some house projects and Tianna helped Grandpa do some outside projects.... more on this later. Adelia just helped tear apart the house right behind any cleaning that had been done.

Friday my wonderful in-laws drove over have lunch with us at Pizza Hut. Then they came and got the girls on Saturday so I could enjoy (prob the wrong word choice for a funeral) but yes, so I could enjoy the funeral services and not be worrying about keeping the girls tame. I tried that at the viewing Friday night. It was exhausting and I didn't get to spend the quality time with my extended family as I wanted. I was extremely grateful they were able to get the girls for Saturday.

It really was so great to see my cousins and extended family that I haven't seen in YEARS! More than 12 years for some of them! The last family reunion we had, so many of my cousins children were babies. Heck, I practically was a baby in a sense. Now they are in high school or at least, jr. high. Therefore, I am happy to report that we plan to remedy that this summer and we WILL have a family reunion. I love the Potter family and it really was so good to see them all again.

 Disregard Tianna's freaky eyes! 

 Grandpa Bert helped Tianna shoot the deer. 

We even got to see Courtney and her new car!! She was so happy- we love to see her that way!

Adelia enjoyed Grandpa Neil's eggs- we don't call him the Breakfast King for nothing!

He hooked the girls up with a little horse back ride

When I put Tianna to bed before putting Adelia in her pack-n-play she decided this was a preferred place to sleep- of course it only lasted till I walked down stairs.
