Last Monday was my father-in-law's funeral. It was a special day to remember a special man. Andrew understood what happened but Aaron was having a hard time. He kept on asking if his grandpa would be okay inside the casket and underground. They will surely miss him!

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.

Russ took the boys to Dinosaurland in Vernal last Saturday (August 10). They had a lot of fun! they love going to dinosaur museum.

Utah's newest dinosaur museum, the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum, opened in June 2004. New exhibits and displays cover the 22,000 square foot facility, inside and out. Vivid murals and tile floors help visitors connect geological time to real-time places in Vernal. Life-size replicas of dinosaurs sneak into the museum through windows looking out onto our new Dinosaur Gardens. Curious visitors, both young and old, can do their own investigating with books, models, puzzles, and bones and chisels.

Since we bought the Pass of All Passes, we make use of it since summer is almost over. Andrew will be back to school in 2 weeks. We went to Seven peaks in Provo again last Saturday. We stopped to see grandpa and grandma on our way and it was nice seeing them again. The kids had fun as always. We also attended a birthday party in the evening.
