Grandma's Funeral

Today was my grandma's funeral. It was up in Fort Collins. We had some friends watch Emmaline, Josiah and Jeremiah for the day but we decided to take Elijah with us. And of course Micah has to go where ever I go. :-) Elijah did pretty well with the whole thing although we're not sure he completly understands that great grandma is gone. He put a flower on her casket at the grave side along with all the other great grandkids. I was an honorary pallbearer so I walked along behind the casket. My sister and her husband were able to come from California for the funeral so it was nice to see them even though it wasn't the best of circumstances.

Boys and their toys

Mark has recently started building and flying model airplanes. His current project is a T Craft model airplane, fairly small, relatively speaking. :-) The last one he completed was a piper cub which is really big, the wing is taller than me! He spends lots of time building them and the boys love to come and help or work on their own planes. On Sunday Elijah was working on his airplane, made out of scraps from Mark's plane, and Josiah was working on a little airplane that Mark made for him while Mark worked on his plane. It was so cute I just had to take a picture of them all together. :-)

Little helper!

Every Sunday evening we have tea and snack type foods, usually cheese, crackers, and cookies. Last night Emmaline got on the counter, pulled out some bowls and my mixer, and procedded to pretend to make cookies for us to have with our tea! It was so adorable! Whenever I cook or bake she loves to come and help and yesterday she just decided she would do it on her own. It won't be too many years before she is able to really cook, and what a blessing that will be! :-) I didn't think to take a picture of her cooking but here is a picture of her playing dress-up. She loves to say that she is "God's little princess"!
