One year today - Miss you !

"The only length of life that seems to satisfy the longings of the human heart is life everlasting. Irrespective of age, we mourn for those loved and lost. 

Mourning is one of the deepest expressions of pure love. It is a natural response in complete accord with divine commandment: “Thou shalt live together in love, insomuch that thou shalt weep for the loss of them that die.” (D&C 42:45.) 

Moreover, we can’t fully appreciate joyful reunions later without tearful separations now. The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life."
- Elder Russell M. Nelson

Below are some of my favorite pics of Ben - He's either talking (can't you just hear him?) or giving someone a bad time, or pulling a face.   What a great guy, and I'm seeing more and more of him in Roger D.  Usually that's a good thing (haha)

Happy Birthday Grandpa Ben ~ 88 years young :)

Love You Two !

Living life.........

Kacey - I'm just giving you a bad time :)   haha  Love ya !
We had dinner at LuAnn and Ben's on Monday night.  Sloppy Jo's and salad.  It was great !  In case you are wondering about the plastic table cover.....I made both my mom and LuAnn a table cloth years ago, with all of the families (extended) pictures and hand prints.  Neither of them dare use it without a cover.  I wish they both would just say to heck with the cover, and use it more often.  Till it wears out !  Heck the pics have faded due to age, and you can hardly see them anyway, so who cares about stains.  Not me :)    BUT - on Monday night it WAS a big help to Kacey (haha)

Grandma Ben and Brightyn

Treyson Treyson Treyson.............you'll ruin your eyes sitting that close !!  

Grandpa Ben just about died when I put her in his arms.........but he didn't miss a beat.  He's still got it !   

Fed these two yahoos breakfast the other morning.  Milk and scrambled eggs, doesn't get any better !

Miss Brightyn with her eyes open !  I don't get to see this very much, it seems like all new babies, she is always sleeping :)

We've got to start saving all of our comics for Treyson - he loves them !   They came up to drop something off last night, and finished off the last of the cheesy potato bacon soup I made on Monday.   It was delish.
