Oh we look good. Are my bangs a little short? Well sure, for what ever reason Mandy cut me one inch bangs just before grandmas funeral!
I couldn't complete this year without adding these pictures. After grandma passed away there was the large task of clearing out the house and getting ready to sell it. Everyone helped Kate and Nate would come over on their days off and after work and Kara and Spencer even came for a weekend to help sheet rock the garage and spend a little time in the "bunk bed"(the space above the garage).
Mandy and I had the chance to spend lots of time together. There are times I will never forget. Our children playing with only garbage begs, and the amount of begs we went through. Praying for strength and courage to move the wheat. The last Pizza hut dinner in the back yard. The many times we said, "well this will be the last time we are at grandmas". Trying to use paint as "putty", and the chunks wood falling on our heads. Bryce's large trailer we filled too many times. The dress of Macy's that we decided would be best not to bring home.
The house is sold now and it was sad, but OK cause grandma isn't there. She is in all of the good memories and always close by watching over us.

im glad you had such good family times restoring the house. i'm sure your grandma was nearby enjoying it along side you :)
Who knew garbage bags could be such fun? So great you guys could work together to fix up your grandma's house one last time. I remember going there and picking raspberries and jumping on her rectangle trampoline. And on the drive to Idaho Falls, putting a sign in the car window that said, "Just passing gas!". Good times :)
