vovo

Dan's grandfather (vovo) passed away at the beginning of the month. He was almost 97 years old. (Click here for his obituary.) Dan and I had the opportunity to fly out to utah for his funeral and brought baby brother along with us.

We enjoyed seeing all of Dan's family, even if it was only for two short days! We don't get to see them very often. We even got to see my two brothers and meet our nephew Emmett who is very close in age to Benjamin. Here's a few photos...

niece Amelia and nephew Calvin

emmett is such a cutie! wish we lived closer so we could play more often!



this photo below is one of the more recent photos that i took of Dan's grandparents at his brother's wedding. love these two! they were the sweetest people and always so kind and generous. it is wonderful to know that they are reunited with each other and their only child, dan's father, and we will see them again someday.

Halloween

Just a few photos of the kids in their halloween costumes...
Baby brother was a pumpkin. All of my babies have worn this costume when they were around this age.

Lorelei was a bumble bee. this was actually the costume she was supposed to wear last year but wanted to be a princess instead at the last minute. Luckily this costume still fit her (just barely)!

Evan was batman!

Avery was the queen of hearts. She was Alice a few years ago and wanted to be the Queen this year :)

Kyla was a pirate.

Elayna was a tattooed biker chick. those are tattoo sleeves she is wearing :)
