Lee Kenyon Udall's motto: The church is true, God has been good to us, The best is yet to come.
February has been busy- I started Hair school on the 17th and absolutely love it!! There are some pretty diverse people with me but it will be learning experience :) I bought a chair and can't wait to start doing hair in my house!
Great Grandma Carpenter ( My grandma Leona's mom) is 100 yrs old now. Here she is after the funeral eating pizza with a fork, and asking Jonny "Who are you?" When I went up to say hi to her, she looked at my ring and said- "Now I heard you were engaged?" The last time we visited there Jonny had really long hair and out of the blue she came slowly down the hallway with a comb in her hand and bluntly told J "Comb your hair!" We were laughing so hard- it was just a funny moment. She fell the Monday after the funeral and broke her arm- thus putting her in assisted living... We are all hoping she will go in due time- she does not want to be here :)
Grandpa Kenyon Udall fell a few times a few weeks ago, and discovered he had pneumonia- they also thought he had had a few mild heart attacks so they flew him to Tucson Hospital where he was put on a respirator. He was not very coherrent but had many visitors from Thatcher and Mesa. After a week or so, his lung collapsed and they realized that he was not strong enough to live on his own. It was so sudden and sad- but I am actually really happy that he is now with his wife Leona. He was so miserable and lonely these past 7 months without her. It was a good weekend with all the family together in Thatcher. I came out of the funeral with a sweeter appreciation of the gospel and devoting a life of service to it. My family was joking the night Grandpa died, that we would not have a day without a grandpa udall- because my sis in law Ashley had her baby the next morning, making my dad a Grandpa!!! Wierd!!! I feel a special connection with my grandpa because i'm named after him (Lee Kenyon Udall= Laura Lee Udall), he gave me my patriarchal blessing, and also married Jonny & I almost 2 years ago. Those are sweet things that I will always remember.
INTRODUCING.... MASON BLAKE UDALL!! He is so cute!! I couldn't wait for him to get here- it is so different having a grandkid in my family- Jonny's fam already has 13 or so, but I was the most excited about this time because it's the 1st in my family!! He is the sweetest thing- i wish I could just play with him all day long- poor Ash has a long/annoying recovery but she is so strong- Mason seems worth it to me!!! I can't wait to have one of my own ( in a few years)
I threw a super fun PJ party at the studio!!! We had a blast!!
We had some friends over for a Valentine's day PJ party- it was such a fun night to relax, play fun games, and have fun! We want to have parties every month!! don't you love J's Nash Jammies? He's so cute! Thanks Rach for helping me plan!
My cute Brother Eric left Mid January to the MTC- he's going to Korea,Seoul mission- same place my dad went many years ago!! Crazy;!!! the night he left I just had to say bye fast so I wouldn't cry my eyes out-We have received many letters so far and he is doing great- I don't worry about him right now, but when he leaves for Korea i'm sure I will be scared for him everyday!! He has such a strong testimony and it is fun to see him grow up! Doug & Sarah met him in Utah and hung out for the day.
For my bday, J got me these flowers that were supposed to look like "crazy hair"- he is so creative!! (Ok maybe it was Ellen's idea?) there were hair clips and combs tied to it in honor of me starting hair school- I loved it and was showing them off to everyone that came over!! Thanks for a great bday hun- and the massage!!!
In an attempt to keep me sane during my January boredom, J took me hiking at Camelback Mtn. It was so beautiful- and great weather... He is so sweet :)
Mom & Dad Millett got us tickets to see Lion King for my birthday!! It was so awesome! I loved the whole thing- it made me want to be on Broadway! Can't wait to see Wicked this summer!
