Yea I know.... I have been slacking in the blogging world. I have yet to be home for more than 4 days in a row for over a month. I am sooo tired.
Monday we came home from yet another EXCITING ;) trip to the good state of WY. That night is when we got the tragic news of Izzi's death. We started to plan our trip to Vernal. Jim got home Thursday night and Friday morning we left. It was such a sad reason to go see family but we had fun reminishing with fam.
I took a few pictures from the funeral for all the family that wasn't able to make it. It was the sadest funeral I have EVER been to. We lost Hunter 2 months ago and I thought nothing would be as hard as burying her. But Izzi's death was so sudden and tragic I couldn't do anything but hug and hold my kids for 2 days. It sure made me see the bigger picture. 
My heart breaks for Bets and Derik. Watching her cry as the coffin was closed will be with me forever. No mother should have to go through that. But she will someday be a stronger person for it. They treated Izzi as a queen. With her uncle Brett buying out the Salt Lake valley of all yellow roses. To reminds us of Izzi's bright smile. Over 1400 roses. They carried her on their shoulders for her last walk. And closed down the streets as we made our way to the cemetary. The cousins all brought a toy for Izzi to play with in heaven.
As sad as it was, they made us laugh as they talked about her and her spunky personality. I will always remember it.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE remember to never leave your children while they are bathing. Izzi was 18 months old. Ty's age. It only takes a minute for a tragidy to occur. It has been a lesson to me. Please pray for bets and derik. They need so many prayer to make it through this. I love you all.

Sorry about commenting a million times. I just wanted to say thank you for this post. I just talked to Lydia today and she was describing the flowers and the thing they carried her on. It helps to see pictures. You feel out of the loop when you don't get to go to family stuff. I never even met little Izzi, so it was nice to see the picture of her, too. I can't imagine what they're going through right now. Love to you all.

I'm very sorry for the loss your family is experiencing in this tragedy. What a horrible thing to go through. The yellow roses are very sweet.
Thanks for this post... we're sorry we missed it but it's nice to be able to catch up with things here.
Thanks for sharing this. I don't know how many times I walk away from Elle while she is bathing. She will be four and I think she's big enough. I used to think I had this great plan...I would make her sing to me really loud as I walked away to get something so I could know she was okay. NEVER AGAIN.
PLEASE let me know if there is anything my family can do for Liz or for her family! She has tons of family in Vernal supporting her I'm sure, but let me know, k.
