My Grandmother

My grandmother suffered from Alzheimer's for a long time and a few weeks ago we were told her time was coming to an end. We drove out that day to say goodbye to her and be with my grandpa. She passed away later that night. It has been a whirlwind of emotions. My grandmother was a great lady and we miss her greatly. We are so happy for her to be out of the terrible grips of this disease. Her funeral was a wonderful time to remember the way our grandmother was. It's still a little hard when I think about it. I'm so grateful to know that FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!! One day I will hear her sweet laugh again! Love you forever Grandma Judd!





Leila Lundquist Judd

Our loving wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, Leila Lundquist Judd, passed away peacefully on Feb. 22, 2010, after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer's disease. She was surrounded by her family. Leila was born July 7, 1929, in Price, Utah, to Roland and Mary Brockbank Lundquist. She graduated from Kanab High School and attended Utah State Agricultural College where she earned a degree in secondary education. She married her sweetheart, Derrel W. Judd, on June 9, 1953, in the Logan LDS Temple. Leila and Derrel lived in Morgan for 19 years and have lived in Provo for the last 33 years.

Leila taught at Weber High School and worked at the Genealogical Library in Salt Lake City prior to becoming a wife and mother. Leila was an active member of the LDS church and served in leadership positions in the Primary, Relief Society, and Family History organizations. She served many years as an election judge. She was very active in 4-H as a leader and member and earned many awards through her 4-H work. She and her mother made hundreds of beautiful quilts. While pursuing one of her passions, family history, she and Derrel served as directors of the Edgemont Stake Family History Center for 17 years. Leila also helped train family history missionaries at the MTC.

Snow Fun

These are just some pictures from Taysen helping Tim shovel snow and trying to sled down a tiny hill from shoveling (that didn't work) He was so excited to get his own little shovel. The snow was deep and he loved every minute of it. He played and played and played in the backyard until he finally just got too cold!

Snuggie

Around Christmas on TV they were pushing the whole Snuggie thing like crazy!! And since my son watches TV like crazy he decided that he needed one of his own. I thought about just buying him one of the kid ones but I didn't know if it would even fit him and they seemed simple enough to make...so a little while after Christmas when he wouldn't stop bugging me about it we finally got his snuggie made. He was pretty proud of it and now wants me to make one for EVERYONE! The thing is now he hardly ever uses it..oh well!

Korver's 1st Birthday!

My baby turned ONE! I still can't quite believe it. The last year has flown by and he has been such a fun addition to our family. We celebrated with family and had pizza and cake. We discovered he absolutely loves pizza! He did not care about his presents because he still wanted to eat his pizza. When it was time for cake he barely touched it to take a candy off the top and remove the marshmallows and then he didn't want anything to do with it. I tried to help he and he got mad, but he did want to eat it as long as I fed it to him with a fork. At least he ate enough to get his lips blue with frosting! We love our crazy Mo!

Christmas

We had a great Christmas filled with lots of fun. As you can tell from the picture Korver did not like santa, but Taysen thought it was great and asked him only for a present and the diego artic rescue movie (pretty easy on santa) Right after Christmas we moved hence the late blogging since we haven't had internet for a while now.

Family Reunion

We had a fun filled weekend at the cabin a week ago. We had delicious food, fun games, movies, treats, and just time to spend with each other. The kids of course loved being outside. Thanks everyone for such a fun time!

Taysen's Birthday Party!

Taysen had his first birthday party with his friends this year. He turned 3! Here are a few pictures from his fun party. He keeps asking me when the lady will bring the bouncer back for him to play in. I think we ended up with around 17 kids so it was quite the party!
