I don't seem to take many pictures these days

 Life is non-stop. One thing after another. Jesse participated in a Mandarin Bridge competition and won a third place medal. He is really talented at Mandarin. Now that I know what is involved I will be much better prepared next year. I was happy it was a good experience for him.


Breanna learned to ride a bike. She figured it out on her first try. I was proud of her!


Afton did her own makeup the other day.


Breanna got glasses. She has a lazy eye in both eyes. I can't stop taking pictures of her! I think she looks so cute in them.




We took these pictures outside the church at Brad's Grandpa's funeral. His death was sudden but he lived a good life and left behind 8 children, 44 grandchildren and 106 great grandchildren. It was a very long funeral procession. Brad's Grandpa was always good to me. He always accepted me, from day one. It's a great feeling to be accepted. He loved my kids too, especially Jesse because he is a Gough boy. And I always admired how he treated his wife. She has dementia and he cared for her until the last day. The funeral helped remind me once again-family is the most important thing. Who's going to be there at my funeral, my husband, kids and grandkids. They're the only ones who are really going to care that I'm gone.

I also got a cold and the stomach flu this past weekend. Sometimes I just want to cry.
