GREAT Grandpa

104 years and one month is quite an accomplishment. Grandpa Fillmore passed away on Friday evening at his home. What an amazing legacy he leaves behind and what a joyful reunion he has in store with the many loved ones who have gone on before him.

I can't imagine living through all of the events and changes and challenges and trials you would be faced with by simply living as long as Grandpa did.

We will miss the trips to the farm, the birthday cards full of treasured advice and wisdom, and the unconditional love. Even at 104 he knew and loved each of us.

We love you GREAT Grandpa!!!

Equal Time

And, just because this is so fun and to give the big brother equal time, here is Tanner after demolishing the pinata at our family Halloween Party. He was dressed up as an "Army Guy". He was very opposed to dressing up as anything but since army guys carry pocket knifes (not to school, mind you), he thought this was okay.

Trying again

I love blog-stocking and am going to try my hand at this again so I am not just a parasite.

Mason is obsessed with his "Pet Animals". Here is a recent picture of him. He had very meticulously linned up his animals so they completely surrounded him. What a character.
