2011 Starts off with Bitter Sweet.

So 2011 was not off to a good start. My aunt Roxie passed away. She was diagnosed with cancer three weeks prior to her passing. Roxie is my Dad's older brother Randy's wife.
On Sunday January 9 my parents, Kecia and I headed to Utah. Our first stop was in Bountiful to see my Grandparents whose health is failing miserable and quickly. While we were there my Aunt and Uncle Kara and Dave showed up. Their Daughter Shannon and her new baby boy Wyette was with them. We do not see them very often they live in St.George. Then my uncle Paul and his daughter Tayler showed up. It was good to see everyone. Even though it is hard to see my grandparents the way they are. My grandfather usually has lots to say and we don't have to think of things to carry on a conversation, but things are different now and we all were trying to find things to talk with them about.
Next stop was to see my sister. We stayed about an hour. It was nice to see my niece Aleah in her own Enviroment. Whenever I have seen her it has been at my parents house and all she does is hide behind Brooke. Well she was playing and talking.
Then off the Bryce and Cassidy's house. We visited for a few hours then started getting ready for the viewing.
Upon arrival at the viewing we saw lots of family and friends we have not seen in 20 years or so. although it was a sad situation it was also like a reunion seeing and reconnecting with everyone. I know Roxie would have liked it that way. She was a very good woman, very kind and loving. We went to dinner afterwards with my Aunt Shantel and Uncle Paul and their two children Tanner and Tayler. Good times lots of laughs. Tanner had some great stories to tell. He has not changed a bit. Still the same story telling kid.

The 10th was the Funeral. It was a nice service again lots of family to visit with and see. We headed home around 2:30. As soon as we returned home we headed to Leo's for Cambria's birthday party. Man my life is busy and crazy. No wonder I am so exsausted all the time.
