Resting

Today we attended the funeral and laid to rest our beautiful great-grandmother. We will miss her so much! Grandma Crowther is Jared's grandmother and she lived in West Jordan. We took these pictures over at her house (four generations) just last week. We will miss her tons. She was a very elect lady.

On a sillier note, at the cemetery Kylie was having a hay day running around everywhere and playing in the leaves. She'd just take off, and would grab a fun treasure on her way that was adoring someones headstone. So Jared spent a great deal of time chasing her down and returning the items to their respective headstones. I was taking pictures and so Jared was watching her most of the time. While she was under my watch for a few minutes while I was being THE BEST MOTHER EVER I took a picture, then looked down and saw that Kylie had plopped herself down next to the casket and was trying to crawl underneath it. Problem is there's nothing but a long drop down into where the casket will rest. Someone grabbed her right when I was about to have a heart attack. Wouldn't that have made great headlines? NEWS AT NINE... BABY INJURED FROM FALLING INTO HER GREAT-GRANDMOTHER'S GRAVE. So thankfully the munchkin has made it another day unscathed. We will miss our grandma so much.

Granted these two pictures aren't great, but look at Grandma Crowther's reaction to Kylie putting her finger in her ear!
































A little nicer picture of the four generations.

The thought of seeing Kylie fall into the grave had me cracking up (only because it didn't happen!) Too cute! This is a fun but scary age - they manage to get themselves into all sorts of situations!
