Grandma Whitezell's Funeral

Ok, so I don't have any pictures of the actual funeral, which did turn out very nice. It was nice for the Whitezell side to all be together since that doesn't happen all that often. I do however have some pictures of the fam hanging out at my parents' house. It's not very often that we are able to all be there at the same time, Christie and I always seem to be on opposite schedules for going home to visit. It was so fun to be all together!

Here is my brother Marc and his little girl Chloe. She is a little heart throb! She seriously looks like a little doll. She definately knows what she does and does not like. I am currently trying to make my way to her good side...it's only a matter of time now!!

Here is me and Tanner, Marc's little boy. He is kissing me on the cheek here and we are playing with some nerf guns we got to send to my other brother who is on his mission in Russia for Christmas. Tanner thought we needed to try them out to make sure they work...they do! He was loving taking and posing for pictures. He is such a little ham. He has an answer for everything and an opinion on everything else! He is so funny, he thinks his dad is "so cool" and tells him all the time, he also told Troy he thought he was cool too. He must have been tired ;) Just kidding!! He made sure to tell everyone at the funeral that "Great Great Grandma isn't sleeping, she's dead, she died". He told me one night that he couldn't give me a hug goodbye cause it would make Heavenly Father sad. He is such a funny kid, I love hanging out with him. Also there is one last thing that I didn't get a picture of, the timing was just not right. My dad makes the BEST ribs ever, and we all ask for them when we come visit. He decided that he would make them for us all. These ribs take a very long time to prepare and cook. So he goes out to check on them and they are cooking very slow, so he decides to give them another ten minutes. Well when he goes out to check them again and slather on some bar b que sauce, they are completely engulfed in flames!! Troy saw him open the bar b que and pull one of the flaming racks out. In the end, the bones had burnt into charcoal. No one has an answer for what happened. We tried to salvage what we could which was only about 1 rack (there were like four...I think) We ended up ordering a big steak from our favorite steakhouse in Bakersfield, Tahoe Joe's, and we still served what we could of the ribs. All in all, it's pretty funny-to everyone but my dad. He laughed about it the next day, but that night, we didn't talk about it!! It was better that way :) All his hard work and time down the drain! It was certainly a fun trip, even though it was for a sad reason that we were all together. I will say this, the drive there is not nearly as tolerable pregnant as it was before I was like this!! I can't wait til March!!!!! Oh, and when I asked Tanner if he could see my baby in my belly he just looked at me and said, "my mom has TWO babies in her belly". That's right, they're having twins!! We are all so excited for them!!!
