so me and matt headed to utah for her funeral.
it was the most tender ive ever seen matt.
he loved his grandma, he always tells me of the fun sleep overs he had as a child at her house, he loved her cooking and how she did everything she could to make her husband happy..
(a trait he wishes i had a little more of)
heres all the heaps kids..
jason, mindi, matt, heidi, and kim
matt was a paul bearer, and she had the prettiest white purple and pink flowers.
the day ended up being warm and sunny.
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES OF HER..
she knew i wanted a diaper geinie when i first got married and matt didnt, at my baby shower there it was wrapped with a big bow with her grinning so big, i loved how everysunday she would bring the best fruit salads, she was always happy and never complanied, she loved my boys and always had treats for them, her house was always open for us, dinners at her house she always had diet coke, her chiles xmas gift cards, and how she always told me stories of matt and how much she loved him.
we were lucky enough to get my mom and dad to watch the kids so the boys didnt have to make the LONG DRIVE. on they way home we hit vegas, ate at our fav. mexican joint and hot tubbed.
when we got home all my laundry was done jsut right, microwave cleaned, doors wipped free of finger prints and fresh flowers planted... topped off with all the boys so excited to tell us of everything they did.. catching rabbits in cages, fishing, movie partys, yummy food, babsketball games, and every other thing a kid would want to do!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH WE LOVE YOU BOTH!

Love this post and hearing all about Matt's Grandma. I'm so glad you got to go and glad you got to have a little getaway there at the end. And it sounds like your parents went above and beyond in taking care of things while you were gone. Oh man, they are keepers!!!
Too bad it was a funeral that brought you home. I loved the picture of Matt and his brother and sisters. I'm sure you all had fun together in the short ammount of time that you had. Thank heavens for mom and dad! They are the worlds best babysitters around!!! Glad that they were there to help you out. I am excited for your next adventure this weekend. Have lots of fun! Love you!
Loved to see the pictures of Matt's family. It helps me remember them better. I am looking forward to this next week end. Only a little more than 2 weeks left. Do you think we can squeeze Camel Back in? I am hungary to just talk.
It is fun to see a pic of Matt and all his siblings. He is super tender about his family, and I think I remember him talking about his grandma. She sounds like an amazing woman. I think it is so great you guys were there and even better that your amazing parents could watch your boys. I love your black and white dress, you look fabulous. What I would give to go to that mexican restaurant and hot tubbing with you guys right now! Love you both. xoxoxo
What a sweet post. I'm glad you were able to go and spend time with his family.
