Bye GG. We will miss you

GG didnt make it through the night. She died just after 10 pm in California last night. She held on for a few hours after being off any machines. Last I heard my FIL is trying to schedule the funeral for Saturday. Unfortunatly we might not be able to make it. John has stuff that has to be done for work and turned in today. Its a long drive. About 3000 round trip. A long ways to go for one day. I would really like to come down but we will see. I will let you know Jen if we do make it. I would love to see you.

What Wii have been doing since Christmas

The call we didn't want..

but we were expecting it. John just got a call from his parents and there was not brain activity for his grandmother. She has requested no help and will have the respirator turned off at 8 am tomorrow morning. She could go right away or she could hang on for a while. Either way she will only be give morphine for the pain if she has any.

At this point, she is alreay gone, hopefully having a sweet reunion with her husband. She has lived a long and healthy life. Just in the few last years she has begging to not be as strong. We are so grateful for the time that we have had with her and her knowing our kids or my kids having the chance to know their Great Grandma. She was able to meet all but Joshua which saddens me but I know now she will be able to watch over all of us.

I guess we - John for sure - will be coming to Cali sooner than we planned. I really feel like we need to come and say our goodbyes. She was a great lady and our last link to all our friends back home in California. I guess we really dont have anymore ties there besides our friends now. I want you all to know how much we love you and miss you all. I have grown up with many of you, and some just know from the awesome Kern River ward and have been able to reconnect through this great blog world or Facebook world. I have truly enjoyed learning about your families and you mine.

I will let you know when we know for sure what the timing will be. Soon though. Im looking forward to seeing you if we can. Call me or email me #'s so I can call when I get in town. Im sure we wont be there very long. Maybe only a couple days at the most.

PRAYERS PLEASE

My sister in law got this up first so here ya go. We thought we would have a fun day at Sea World when we found out about Johns grandma. His parents rightly so left early while we stayed. They are there with her now.

We found out this afternoon that Robert's Grandmother suffered an aneurysm and is in the hospital. At the moment, she is in surgery. The doctors are trying to stop the bleeding in her brain, but they are not very hopeful of success. My parents in law are getting on a plane to join her and Robert's uncle. We don't really expect her to last much longer, but if our friends who are so inclined would please pray for Laura Ford and for the family, we'd appreciate it. Thanks. We'll keep you posted as we get more information.

She is out of surgery and resting. As of 11 last night she was not awake but was out of surgery and still alive. I hope she will be able to wake up and know who everyone is. Maybe now she will now come out to live here where we are all around her. Nancy has been trying to get her not to live by herself and maybe this is what she needed. We will let you know when I get more info. We might be coming to bakersfield soon than we planned.

Family Pictures

We finally had family pictures taken with John's family. It has been a long time since we were all together. This is only a portion of the pictures. Im still missing one CD that has lots of Couple pictures and the rest of Roberts family on it. You can get a glimpse of how many we had to take to get ONE that we like. ENJOY!!!

The only picture

Thanks to Uncle Scott I have one picture from yesterday. It was a great day. We had lost and lots of food. (My grandmas Rolls in the pans) were awesome. I even had a couple left over to bring home. Robin made a ton of different Pies and I only had 1 slice of pumpkin. Guess I should have had more. Now I want some. Anyway. I hope you all had a great day.


We did have our family pictures done yesterday and will get them up when I get them. John and I have been married now for 11 years today. :0) I hope to have many more years together too, and maybe another kid or two. I want another GIRL!!! I had fun doing my nieces hair yesterday.
