My "great" great grandma...

This past week was full of events that were both fun and surprising, and some that were sad but joyous at the same time. My parents, along with Garrett and Gavin and their friends Chellcee and Emily came down last weekend to spend the weekend at the Condo and move Garrett in to his new apartment. It was a fun weekend at the condo and was bitter sweet moving Garrett in to school. While we were at the condo, my mom received a call that her grandmother, my great grandmother, had passed away. My grandma was such an inspiration to so many. At age 94, she was still bowling on a regular basis, and was an award winning bowler. I am a better person having known her, and I will remember her always. I will cherish the blanket she made Drew and I for our wedding forever. Her funeral was yesterday, and it was a beautiful service. Grandma most definitely lived her life to the fullest with an amazing attitude and love for life. We will miss her greatly, but we know she is probably bowling, watching Braves games, and smiling down at her family, just like she always has. Love you grandma!

Look how cute and little she is (everyone looks small next to Garrett though...)


Here's grandma with Elle last Christmas


I love this pic of my cute dad helping my grandma



This weekend was bitter sweet not only because of my grandma's passing, but because of my little brother moving to Cedar City for school. I am really excited for him to go to SUU and happy that I will get to see him more often (hopefully,) but I just can't believe this day has come. It worked out for us to drive to Heber together for the funeral, and drive back to Cedar today. I had to witness him saying goodbye to his cute girlfriend, (so sad) to my grandma, and to our baby brother Gavin. I think I had a harder time than Garrett did with the last two, but I just can't believe he's so grown up! Hopefully Gav can be okay without him, since they haven't been seperated EVER. I know Garrett will be okay, and everything will be fine, but GEEZ time flies! Here are a couple funny pics of my little brother, whose not so little. :)

Nice pictures :) Sorry about your grandma, sounds like she sure lived a full life though! That's what I want to feel like when I go.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandma!

Little brothers growing up makes me so sad. I can't believe Garrett is old enough to go to college...Nick just turned 12, and it's absolutely crazy! I wish time would hold still. I guess that's why we enjoy every moment, right?
