Day with Grandma

So I had to take the kids into Salt Lake today. I knew I wanted to stop by and visit my Grandma so I called her when I was about half way there. When I asked how she was doing she told me she wasn't having a very good day and that she wasn't able to keep her food down and needed someone to come visit. I thought maybe I would take her shopping with me, but wasn't sure she was going to be up for it. So anyway, I stress all the way to Grandmas. (My sister calls me the family worrier and I am.) I am hoping that she is just having a bad day and just needs to get out of the house, but preparing myself for the worst. I get there and she is ready to go shopping with me. I had just kind of planned on going somewhere there close because I needed to take the kids in to get their shots. Talking with her it kind of sounded like she would be up to spend the rest of the day with me so I dragged her along to the doctor's appointment. I know she enjoyed the day. I enjoyed spending the time with her. And although it was a little stressful worrying if she would forget in the middle of a store it was so nice to have her there to help me with my kids. I don't know when I will manage to get back in, but I need to take her and do it again. (Hopefully the next time I won't have a doctor's appointment in the middle of our time together.) When we dropped her off at her place Bub said in his sweet little voice "bye grandma." I wish I had had something to record it because how he said grandma was precious. Besides it was the first time he had ever said grandma.

When we went down for my great uncle's funeral Jen, Drew and I remembered times that we had spent with our Grandma Great. My kids are too young to remember much of went on today, but it makes me so happy that we are able to spend the time having fun with Grandma. Although I did hear stories multiple times and had to remind her what we were doing, I was able to be with my Grandma today. As tired as I am right now, it was a very good day!
