Grandpa's Funeral

This is the slideshow Jason and I put together of Grandpa!

Caring the casket

 Grandma and her son Tom.

  Grandpa would ALWAYS wear skinny ties so the men wore his them in honor of him!

 Grandpa loved his apple trees, in fact he was called Grandpa Apple by the Great Grandkids.

 Military honors

Walking to the graveside.

 

Grandma and Grandpa had a son that died when he was 6 years old.  I think this is an amazing picture of Grandma at her sons graveside.

Grandma getting a flag and being thanked for him serving our country. 

Grandpa was in the Army and the Air Force.

We let go of yellow balloons for Grandpa.

 The girls with Grandma

 Mommy and Alex

 The boys did fairly good at the funeral considering their age, but they looked dang cute in their little ties!

A Great Man

Early this morning my parents called to let us know that my Grandpa Earl passed away.  He was on his way to "work", the temple.  He loved working at the temple!  He was a great man that will be missed by everyone here on Earth.  He is a wonderful man that I am sure will keep doing missionary work in Heaven.  I can't imagine the reunion with his loved ones up in heaven, especially his little boy, Terry, that past away when he was only six years old.  

I LOVE YOU GRANDPA!

 Grandpa at a place he loved most, with the woman he loved most!

 A lot of the family at their anniversary.

 True Love!

Thank you for everything you have done for me and the love you showed to everyone!

Christmas 2011

This Christmas has been a great one! We woke up early and got ready, then woke up the kids. Why not sleep in when they kids are so young you might ask, because we had a lot of places to visit!  We took some pictures of them opening their presents at home, but they are on the other camera so they will come later. 

After we opened all of the presents we got the boys ready and loaded up to head to Logan.

DJ playing with Elmo

 Mommy and Daddy totally excited for the long day!

We made it up to Grandma Nona's house and DJ and Alex of course found something to use as drums.

 Grandpa Ed and Alex.  This was the first time they have been able to meet.

 Daddy and Alex

 The boys absolutely love music!

 Grandma Nona gave the boys a fire engine and hat.

 The boys had fun playing!

 We stopped by the Butler's house (DJ's grandparents).  It was good to see them again!

Then we went over to my parent's house.  They surprised the boys with a new car!

 They LOVED it!

 Family picture with the new ride.

 Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!!

We had a wonderful (exhausting) Christmas.  We are so blessed!

We are also so grateful for the birth of our Savior and this day to remember everything he has done for us! 

Wheeler Farm

We went to Wheeler Farm today to see the animals with Grandma.

We saw the geese. 

 This one was coming right up to us.

 Here are the chicken and roosters.  It was fun to hear the roosters say, cock-a-doodle-doo!

 The goats were fun, but they make a scary sound.

 Here I am with the horse.  Probably my favorite animal that we saw.

 This one shows me petting the cow. 

 It was fun to see all of the farm animals!

It's about time

Here are some pictures from the Christmas season. Not in any particular order.

DJ found a small shovel at our aunt's house during a Christmas party. It was just his size, he loved carrying it everywhere.DJ drinking from his sippy cup.

Mommy and Dawson Jay

DJ got a piano for Christmas.

He enjoys it, we have a Beethoven in the making I think.

I LOVE this picture.
DJ is actually hitting Jason's face, but I love how both of their faces are all squished up!

DJ and Daddy. DJ has a bow from a Christmas present on his head.

No, we usually don't put a bow in his hair, but he makes a pretty cute little girl!
