I love you Grandma Wheeler!

This is the Vault that will be placed over Grandma's Coffin.

Grandma Wheeler's Daughter (my mom), granddaughters, and great granddaughters and
Porter.

Wednesday, April 7th, My only living grandparent died. It was sad, however a good thing. My Grandma fell the week before, and when she was taken to the hospital, they told her she was in Kidney failure. It was a surprise to everyone. They sent her home to be with her family and said it wouldn't be long. Exactly one week later, she left us to return home. She is now with Grandpa, her loving Husband of 66 years, and my sister Bonnie. She didn't suffer,and she had her family arround her. She lived a great life. 4 children (my mom her only daughter). All 3 of her sons and all her grandsons had served missions, and everyone of her grandchildren had been married in the temple. She and my Grandpa had served 3 missions together. And she was without grandpa for only 2 1/2 year. Natalie started calling her "Grandma Willow" (she got it from Disney's Pocahontas) when she was just tiny and the name stuck. She helped Natalie with the Flat Stanley Project one year ago. I blogged about my cute grandma then too. We sure will miss her!

Teenagers VS Matching Easter Dresses

Last year, my teenage daughters refused to wear matching Easter dresses, so I let them pick out their own unique dress for themselves. This Easter, I MADE our Easter dresses. LOL!! I told them if they wanted a new spring dress I was going to make it since I got a new sewing machine for Christmas. So that's just what I did. I finally cracked open my new sewing machine, and set up shop!! Yes I made us all matching skirts, however since General Conference was on Easter this year, we didn't get a chance to actually wear them on Easter. The following week Easter was all but forgotten, and I had to practically get down on hands and knees and beg the girls to wear their dresses. After some fake tears, and hope-you-feel-guilty, words, I finally got my way. Last year they said no to matching dresses, this year I thought if they wanted a dress bad enough they would agree to match, however next year, I have a feeling that they rather have no dress than have matching dresses, especially if I make them! I think the days of matching Easter dresses are over!

For some reason Dying Easter Eggs is still fun for teenagers,

just not wearing matching dresses.
