Going home

Vernon passed away this morning after his family was able to spend most of the weekend with him.
It's a sad day but we're happy that Vernon is in a better place and he's no long suffering and in pain.

We had a graveside service this afternoon

It was very windy, but warmer than it could have been.

We had to head back to SLC so we weren't able to stay long and see everyone at the meal afterwards.

They are going to have a memorial service for him next Saturday (Feb 28) @ 2:30.

Thinking of the Weight family

Sounds like Vernon has taken a turn for the worse and they rushed him to the hospital last night and they don't think he'll make it through the day. :-(

I'll be thinking of all the family today and hope all of them get to see him before he goes.

It's Snowing.

It's a gray, rainy, snowy day. We still don't have much snow buildup on the ground right now, but it reminded me of some pictures I took up at Chad's house and I'm thankful we don't get THAT much snow. :-)

He had to dig the grill out of the snow.

There is just snow packed everywhere and so there aren't very many places to park.

These guys are on the balcony and as you can tell, the snow comes up almost to the edge of it.

Aidan wasn't sure what to think of it.

Video

This is footage that we took for Shawn and may be boring for most people, but you are welcome to watch it! :-)

It's a Weddin'! (reception)

So if I didn't mention it before... Chris and Amanda snuck off and got married last month, so they wanted to have a small "reception" when they came to visit.
So last night we all got together and had steak and cheesecake. (and some other food too)

They even bought themselves a little decorated cake that I didn't get a picture of.

The steak was yummy, of course, steak is always yummy.

More hanging out.

Josh and Kiera

The ladies

A picture just wouldn't be complete if I wasn't off doing my own thing. :-)

The men.

Shawn, we got some video footage for you, but we have to edit it it and all that good stuff so hopefully we'll have it on here soon.

Family #2

Amanda bought a Snuggie and Chad had to try it on.

The sisters.

Cary modeling.

They are painting each other nails, thought I should clarify since it just looks like they are holding hands, although they do that too. ;)

We're looking on as Chad and Chris have a rousing discussion on the stock market. (I think that discussion lasted a good 2+ hrs)

More family pictures to come...

Happy Valentines Day!

We're currently in the middle of a snow storm and we had to cancel our Sabbath meeting today since we don't want people out driving in it, so we're just chillin' at home.

Just so you know.

I wouldn't really let Aidan eat that whole sucker.

It was merely a prop for the photos.

It was around this point that it was starting to get sticky on his hands and he didn't want anything to do with it anymore.

I surprised Cary by "celebrating" Valentines day yesterday.

I had to, he did something really nice for me last year and I didn't do anything for him.

So I made him this cake.

The recipe is over on my cooking blog. ;-)
