Cell making Cacey..

Cacey had to make a "Cell" for school...We had to do pink, green, and orange....she did a great job.

Aunt Frannie...We'll see you in Heaven!

Tracy made this really cool...very beutiful Photo Board of my Aunt Frannie....I loved it. She did a great job....I know she would have been proud of the job Tracy did.

This was one of my favorite pictures on the board....Trace and Aunt Frannie.

Tracy received so many beutiful flowers from friends and co-workers.....it was so good for her!

Here is Elyse with a bunch someone brought by.

Cassidy and Anthony....just passing time before we had to head out to the church. Cassidy sat on his lap and about knocked him over.....I don't think she realizes how big she really is. The kids love Anthony.....he and Jeff are alot alike.

Tracy and her sweet friend Teesha, she sang at Aunt Frannies Rosary, what a beutiful voice!!!

Isnt it funny how the kids take everything light heartedly? Here they are playing a game, I'm so happy we have these kids!!

My Aunt Cleo with Aunt Frannies sister Tracy....who Tracy my cousin was named after.

Elyse and Tracy's car-pool buddie Jenna. She is really sweet. At this point I just quit taking pictures....it was just to emotional. I was so happy and comforted that my Dad, my Uncle Bobby and his family were all together for Tracy!!! We will see Aunt Frannie again in Heaven.

Gramps Turns "66"

Yep our Gramps turned 66 Feb 1st...we had to do a quick celebration in order to get back to Denver to be with Tracy.Check out the cool long candles.

Since it was his birthday Cassidy let Gramps shine her boots.....she's sooo sweet isnt she???

And make it super shiney!.....The truth is he loved doing that for her. I love my dad soooo much, feel so blessed to have him in my life....daily. I talk to my dad at least 3 times a day!!

And this goofy kid just sat and watched....in the laundry basket....he still fits in it!!

Jeffery and Cacey tried on Jeffs dress Army hat...

What a doll!!!!!!!!

PRESENTS!!

Me and MY DAD..Happy 66th birthday ....I love him so much!!

Trying to prepare...

Lots to try and get ready for...we are leaving for Denver tomorrow to be with Tracy and prepare for Aunt Frannies Rosary and Funeral. I have been thinking of Tracy all week and have had a heavy heart for her sorrow. Went to Sams....and this is what $100.00 looks like....not alot!!

Cassidy and Cacey did not really have "funeral" atire.....no real money to spend either...I bought her these great..."Clarks" boots @the Goodwill for $6....we will just have Gramps spruce them up with some polish.

I also got her 2 outfits.....which I thought were perfect & she liked them....what a blessing between the two outfits I spent......$9.

Tracy asked me to do the "programs" for Aunt Frannie....I was so happy she asked me. Here they are....I wanted to add her favorite color which was green so I thought I would use the green paper. I hope she will be happy. It was so hard to do this....I just kept thinking of how happy my Aunt Frannie always was....and how she just always seemed happy to see me. I could almost here her voice saying "Hi Sweetheart".

oops...sideways but this was the inside....you get the idea. Tracy chose this very appropriate poem to go on the inside of the program:

Because I could not stop for Death,He kindly stopped for me;The carriage held but just ourselvesAnd Immortality.
We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put awayMy labor, and my leisure too,For his civility.
We passed the school, where children stroveAt recess, in the ring;We passed the fields of gazing grain,We passed the setting sun.
Or rather, he passed us;The dews grew quivering and chill,For only gossamer my gown,My tippet only tulle.
We paused before a house that seemedA swelling of the ground;The roof was scarcely visible,The cornice but a mound.
Since then 'tis centuries, and yet eachFeels shorter than the dayI first surmised the horses' headsWere toward eternity.

I'm so thankful that I know the Lord and that I will lean hard on him for the next couple of days for strength!

Wednesday...my favorite day of the week..

I'm not sure why Wednesday is my favorite but it is...and it is Cacey's too. Cacey got ahold of my camera and took pictures of her new cat my friend Vicki gave her (she loves it), anywho...she took pictures with the cat playing her new Nintendo DS....She's funny!

Here is another pose.

Monday Vicki and her sweet Mum sent her Birthday gifts...a jewelery box and a cute cuddley cat. She was so happy!! Thank you Vicki and Mrs. B.

Back to the books for Jeffery.....math is daily homework for him.

And myself....I'm trying to finish this scarf for my sweet baby Cassidy who taught me how to knit. I may be done by Christmas....this is a extra wide scarf.....and my first knitting project. I will post the finished product when done. Happy Wednesday!!!

Sad news to end our weekend

We got a call from my cousin Anthony that my Aunt Frannie...was in a serious accident.....Long story short we were in Denver quick....My aunt Frannie did not make it she had a brain anuryism (sp?). I'm so blessed that we were able to be with Tracy, not only tonight but yesterday.....who thought a day of fun could be followed by a such a sad day. I was looking at another blog and this song was posted....God is so good and he is "MY" strength...thought I would share it too. Pray for my cousin Tracy and for the tough day's ahead!
