..Summer time fun..

Summer has com and has almost gone. We have been busy at our house and have enjoyed the time Brent has had off school! I have had a crazy work schedule and have enjoyed the time off I have had! Here are some pictures from our adventures this summer!

My handsome little man! Who celebrated his birthday 2 weeks before this picture was taken! This is his third 4th of July at the Bar D. It was a lot of fun! He loved the music this year.

Waiting for the show to start!

Me, mom, Pa and Bones

Went on a drive on fathers day before we went to see Pa. Drove up Spanish fork Canyon. It was a nice drive with my mom and dad, me, Brent and Bones. Bones missed out and slept the entire drive! :)

Loss...

A lot has happened over the past 4 months. We traveled to Utah 3 times and Idaho once. Most recently we traveled to Utah for my 2 grandmothers funerals. One grandma adopted, the other my moms mom.
Pauline has been part of my life before I was ever even thought of! She and Papa Don live right across from my parents. They were good friends with my dads parents and have been there for us all growing up! They stepped in when Pa and Grandma Wright passed away. They are the grandparents my youngest 2 siblings know on that side of our family. She passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 18, 2011.
Grandma Petersen is my moms mother. She has been in bed on and off for a long time due to a broken back that was not diagnosed until 20 years later. She has been in a nursing home for the past 4 years. On Monday August 15 she was admitted to the ICU of Timpanogous hospital in Orem, Utah and on Thursday August 18 she passed away peacefully holding my grandpas hand.
Both funerals were last week. Paulines on Tuesday and grandmas on Wednesday. Both looked so peaceful and at rest. Both suffered so much over the past few years. I am so grateful for the time I spent with both of these wonderful women! And I am so grateful that I know both are at peace and that families are forever!
