Birthday party for Nathan with his mom. Too bad she was barely awake for the festivities. We wore her out with the photo session.

How I spent my 46th birthday this year. I made my Tanner Mae wake up and sing with me to celebrate. I laughed at myself for being so cruel and I appreciated her for going along with it. She was ready to meet her maker. Monday morning after we left, she went home.

Lily was the star of her class play, "Audition"

Touring BYU

Michelle came to give me a hug at the viewing.

Beautiful day for a funeral. November 3, 2018
Sad yet inspiring at the same time.

Such a mixture of emotions

Beautiful flowers and handsome mate. I found out later this was his birthday. Just like Nate to not want the attention for himself.

Ammon was actually reverent for this part. Heartwarming for me to see him experience this. Made the 2 hour wait in the cold worth it.

Ammon stars as the Gingerbread boy in his class play with Ms. Cheyney's kindergarten class. He's such a ham!

How we remember this gorgeous lady who keeps penetrating our thoughts. I know she's keeping a watch from the other side of the veil. Love never dies.
