Next we stopped by Marci's, Gracee and Emme were both excited to see Eliza! We then stayed the night at Grandma Alma's, we left there at 5 in the morning to get down to St. George. We thought if we left that early the girls would fall asleep for sure... No such luck, Gracee woke up on the way to the car and said "where are we going, what are we doing?" When we told her we were going to Grandma's house she got so excited and could not go back to sleep, Emme also got too excited and was wired the whole three hours!
I didn't take very many pictures in St. George but we had a lot of fun! Gracee and Emme loved spending every minute with Maelee and Tina when they were home from school and Gracee and Austin did pretty good playing together. While we there we went swimming, to a volleyball game (which both Grace and Emme had a blast yelling "GO Becca"), and just hung out at Grandma's house while Ruffin helped his brother finish his house.One day I had Austin, Gracee and Emme at Wal-mart and we had fun trying on Halloween masks. These masks were my favorite!
Traveling home from St. George we stopped in Mapleton for the funeral of Ruffin's Aunt Ginny. We saw more family and I am still telling Gracee she will be Ok and isn't going to die. I didn't want to take her to see the body but all the little cousins her age were going over there so she insisted. I answered 101 questions during the funeral, she asked things like where are they taking her?, why did she die?, why doesn't her body go to Heaven? do I have to die someday? and after each question she would say, I not want to die, I too little... I am greatful for the gospel, I can't imagine how I would answer these questions without it. We reminded her of the resurrection and it seemed to comfort her a little... As for now we try not to talk about death, so she doesn't get worked up...Our final stop before home was in Layton to watch Conference with my Aunt Farris and Uncle Doug... Olivia met us there and it was great! I certainly love Conference weekend and it is even better when we get to spend it with family!

Love it when you post!!! Had another good laugh about the masks. You really need to get a 5X7 and give it Grandpa Stan!
So cute! We need to get together soon. How is the mass-production of bow coming?
Looks like such a fun trip! Every time I see another post, I get more and more excited to see those cute girlies!
Sounds like you had a lot of fun! Your girls are so cute! Hailey and Emma are obsessed about death too, but in a different way! They think you can kiss someone and after they die they wake up, like in sleeping beauty. They are constantly saying "pretend like she died . . ." What are you going to do?
