Although these pictures are from Saturday night, I wanted to put them on today because Nanny passed away around 9:15 am. We are so sad, especially for Viv and Sue. It was a pleasure getting to know her over the past 15 years and I will always remember her. She was spunky, motivated, and could whip up a knitted sweater like you wouldn't believe! Until we meet again Nan.

This is kind of lame but it was 1. the most interesting thing that happened to me today and 2. so frustrating. The kids wanted lemonade for dinner so we made up a batch. Luckily the pitcher was empty when Zack knocked it off the counter to the floor. This is my Pampered Chef pitcher so I was really bummed that this happened. Especially since lemonade is my new go-to drink (remember, no Diet Coke?!). Hopefully someone has a Pampered Chef party soon.

We had a fun day with the McCullough's. First, we met them at Chick-Fil-A for free breakfast...again...yay!! Then Jen and I ran to the new Sprouts Market that just opened up next to The District. So exciting!

We got tickets to "Walking with Dinosaurs" at Energy Solutions Arena. Our whole family was there (Howard's including Kenny, McCullough's, and us) and it was really fun. Zack was a bit nervous before they came out because he thought the dinosaurs were going to eat people. Silly kid!

We had a memorial/wake for Nanny tonight at our church. The sweet missionaries, Vicki Crook, and Regina Campbell came and helped in the kitchen and kept food stocked up. Simon and I put together a little video slideshow of Nan and Viv and Sue did everything else. It turned out really nice. We had a great turnout and it was wonderful to see how much support people offered to our family. It was sad but a wonderful celebration of Nanny's life.

We celebrated Dad's birthday today at Golden Corral. It's a tradition! It was so fun!! Afterward, we went to Dave & Viv's to say our last goodbye to Gary before he heads back home to Vegas.

We went to Dave & Viv's tonight for dinner. It was quiet, only our family was there. I seem to always forget bringing this sweet girl her food. She's started on baby pears and avocado mixed with rice cereal. She loves every bite!
I'm so glad I got to know Nanny too. I loved that we both crocheted. She was such a sweet lady.
