My Grandpa's Funeral

Our awesome gingerbread house!!

My Aunt Pam. My mom's youngest sister.

Me and my amazing sisters.


Seth and Kathy's boy Colton. He is so cute, mainly because he liked me. He even got me confused with his own mom a couple times!! Him and Peyton had so much fun together.


So after I got back from Arizona I had to regroup and takes my kids to my mother-in-law's so I could catch a plane with Peyton to my Grandpa's funeral in Seattle. My grandpa was 90 years old and spent the last couple years of his life living next door to my mom. The funeral was nice and it was nice to see family. Sadly I don't have any recent pictures of him. He was pretty much the only grandparent I ever knew. We had 9 or my 10 siblings there. I got to stay at my brother Seth's house and had a blast. His wife Kathy is a lot of fun. We had a blast playing games and visiting. My sister Lea Ann, Adam, and I also got to participate in their annual Gingerbread House Making Contest. We even got second place, which is great considering Seth kept pushing me to prepare and plan. The picture here doesn't do it justice. We did the three little pigs. The house of sticks and straw are both blown down with the pigs burried in the rubble. The whole scene is complete with mailboxes, cul-de-sac, garden, sheep, a wolf stuck in the mud and other various details. It was a lot of fun. Thanks Seth and Kathy for a fun weekend!!
