Saturday

This morning was Daniel's funeral. It was also a soccer tournament. Ethan literally had enough time to shower, put on his church clothes and drive to the church, walk in and shake Daniel's mom's hand and say how sorry he was and then walk out and leave with Rob to go change and head off to the games. I was proud of him that he thought it was important to do that. 
I stayed for the funeral and it was sad and beautiful. There were tons of people there. All of his siblings and his dad spoke as did his Uncle John Slafter. The siblings shared memories and things they loved about him. Several said for a guy with a broken heart he had the biggest heart they knew and that he loved a lot. The flowers were beautiful. John did a great job on his talk, it was very much a plan of salvation talk. 
Beth's mom passed away on Friday so Mary, Erica and I had flowers and a card for her too. We were going to go to her home after but she was at the funeral so we visited there instead, after others had left. Life is fleeting.

Hannah took Grace to a stake primary activity and after Grace went to play at Makayla's.
Most of the rest of the day was spent st soccer. The boys played two games and scored 4 goals total. Each game ended with a tied score of 1-1. Meaning they scored on their own goal not just once but twice! Yikes!
I always enjoy watching boy play.
In larger family news Tanner got his eagle today, has his farewell tomorrow and leaves for the MTC on Wednesday! So proud of him and so can't believe he is all grown up!
