Family Shots
After the service, we took some family pictures. Is that weird that we took pictures at the cemetery? It didn't seem weird at the time. Now it does a little though. Oh well. The service was beautiful. My brother the Rev. Stew performed it. My nieces Brooke & Ashley sang Amazing Grace together. We all sang "I come to the valley.."It was a great day of remembering not just Grandma, but my mom's brothers & Grandpa too.


Me, Mom, Heather & Karen. We all wore pink in honor of Grandma. She put pink carpet in every house she owned! She loved pink!!

That's me, Stew, Dad, Mom, Heather & Karen. This is a rare picture. We haven't taken one of just us no spouses or kids for probably 25 years!

Little stinker rolled in the grass the whole time. Keeping a 2 year old quiet at a funeral service is not an easy thing to do. He did pretty well though.


We all went to eat lunch afterwards at Johnny Carino's. This is the "Adult table." From the left around the back: sister Karen, cousin Cheryl, her DH David, Aunt Charlotte, Mom, Dad, Cousin Cindy, her DH Steve, my B-in-law Rodney


Brother Stew, S-in-law Shelli, niece Whitney, Sister Heather & nephew Grant


Cousin Charlene, Cousin Rusty, Cheryl's daughter Jessica (I think that makes her my second cousin?!)


Girls only table! second cousin Katrina(15), niece Ashley(14), second cousin Camille(16), niece Brooke(15)



My nephew Blake & his girlfriend Heather. We call her Chuck because her last name is Norris & there were 2 Heathers. She is such a sweet girl, we all enjoyed having her come along. If she can handle this long of a trip with the whole family & she didn't run for the hills, she must really like him!

Boys only table! My brother's boys, my sister's son, Josh & second cousin David (Cheryl & David's son)

Of course I didn't get a picture of our table. Imagine this... Boyd & I sitting eating A LOT of bread. Justin & Will climbing under the table & on the dirty floor; the same two running around poking people (his 2 adoring Aunts mostly-J & W are lucky they are so adored my them.); About 4 trips to the potty because their dad let gave them giant gatorades to drink on the way there (why the terrible twosome can't coordinate these things I'll never understand); AND THERE YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF OUR TABLE! CHAOS!
