This past weekend has been bitter sweet. It was hard to say goodbye to Grandpa B. yet it was nice being able to hang with my siblings. It was awesome that all us kids were able to come and we were once again all together. I think the last time we were all together was at Jared and Katie’s wedding, but even then we were not able to hang out all together. So, really the last time we were all together, and able to hang out, was at Dad’s funeral??? At any rate, it doesn’t happen very often, so you have to enjoy the time when it does.
Saturday, 29 September, was the funeral. The talks were great, the musical numbers were great, and the overall service was very nice. We cried, we laughed some, and we reflected on the wonderful memories we all have of Grandpa. I don’t think I can ever go backpacking or look at the Bountiful Temple and not think of good ole Grandpa B! He will be missed, but there are a lot of good memories of Grandpa, so he will live on. I am so grateful I had the chance to see him often, to hear his stories, and to receive my patriarchal blessing from him. Thanks Grandpa!
Enjoy some of the pictures from this weekend.

Cute pictures Jul! I wish that we would have taken a picture when we were here at my house. I like the one at the cemetary but it's hard to see everyone's faces. Oh well.. it was WONDERFUL to see you again and play a little bit.
That was a very nice post. THe memories are good one's aren't they!
Take care!

I agree with Jess...we should have taken more pictures together at Jess's house but at least we have the memories of being together!
It was fun to be together. Thanks for sharing your memories!
