This was the last picture the kid had with their grandpa, (July 4) . We visited them again on august 3 but we did not take pictures. I'm glad the kids got to know their grandpa even if not for a long time. They always love to see grandma and grandpa and had fun playing with them when we visit them. We're glad we got to see him a few times this summer.
Taken on April this year. We had dinner at Cracker Barrel in Springville along with Russ's siblings.
grandpa showed Andrew how his cellphone worked.
We went to see him after attending the ope house of Oquirrh Mountain Temple. (2009)
On his 90th birthday.
Memorial Day 2012
