Christmas Miracle!!

Life has been so crazy for our little family that I have not had a moment to blog. Most of the time I tend to ignore my motherly duties for an hour or so to keep everyone updated on our lives. Since it has been a month since I last posted I have alot to say. Better get going...

Now as many of you know, we have been planning our trip to California for Christmas for a year now. I have never stopped talking about and the excitement had gotten so bad I am pretty sure I was bragging more than mentioning it. About a week before we left, Grandpa Preece was in the hospital after having surgery, and Josh's dad called to let him know that he wasn't going to make it through the night. Josh decided he wanted to drive out there and see his grandpa one last time. I really started to stress because I had tons to do, but no help of getting it done. This is where my christmas miracle kicked in.

One friend went out of her way to drop games off that I needed, and watched the girls so I could run to the store. one neighbor drove with Josh to Vernal, so he wasn't alone. (He dropped all his plans, even work.) Another neighbor offered to make copies while at work that I needed for Preschool because of course, I was teaching that week. Plus everybody was there offering to help our family in anyway possible. I would not have been able to accomplish so much without the help of all of my neighbors. Thanks everybody so much!!

Josh's grandpa, sadly, passed away on December 16th and we postponed our trip to Cali a day to attend the viewing and Funeral. It was a wonderful to see all of Josh's family, but we hated the terms in which we got to be together.

Jayla wanted to give Coy hug after hug after hug. I think these little ones understand more than we think.

Hanging out at the funeral home!!

Grandma Preece kept putting her hands on her husband's hands. It was the sweetest gesture of love. We are all going to miss him, but not nearly as much as her.
