Grandpa's Memorial

Grandpa Bob's memorial was June 21, 2015, so the few days before that, family was showing up and were helping to go through grandpa and grandma's stuff. 

The morning of the memorial was the Snake Valley Slither fundraiser and we have a lot of crazy people in this family that run (I'm not one of them) so our family had a nice turn out at the run. I stole these run pictures from Sharon and Bethany.

 Everything was well planned but we realized last minute that we didn't have much by way of flowers so we threw some together, and I went to grandpa's and cut some of his tiger lily's for one of the arrangements, and then cut some of his roses for a small arrangement on the table.

 These are all terrible pictures, but just a sampling of us packing lots of people in small spaces so we could visit. ☺It was great to visit with family and see some of the family I hadn't seen for awhile.

Sharon put together a slideshow for the memorial, and the second video is of the memorial. I can't imagine anyone will want to watch it, but I put it here for me to find later.

Miscellaneous June (The 1st part)

 Clara tries to her best to be a big helper. ☺

 I transplanted this rose bush from Teresa's old yard 2 years ago and I was impressed at how well it looked this year. It was so pretty with a lot of blooms on it.

We went swimming after Chad's wedding and we had forgotten all of our life vests, so it was a nice time of me freaking out about everyone's where-abouts the entire time, but the kids had a blast.

Some of my roses before the intense heat got to them.

Clara shows signs of being a hoarder already. ;)

 We were visiting grandpa and he wanted some pictures of his flowers to show grandma (who is in the care center).

The old and new.

The Ranger had almost 310,000 miles on it and the transmission went out on Cary during a trip home, so it was time for a new vehicle. I think Cary is liking the new truck and we all like that we can all ride in it.

A lazy summer morning and everyone ends up in our bed.
