Grandpa Rugrat :)

 Grandpa Fred passed away June 24th. What a sweet time it was to be able to have the family here surrounding him in his last few days. As with all trials, there were so many hidden blessings! Grandpa's passing brought our family closer together and helped us remember what is most important. We love you, Grandpa!

Cove Love-in 2012

Our family decided that it would be a great idea to start this blog to help us keep in touch with all of our loved ones that live far away... so here is our first update! Our summer love-in was at a beautiful ranch in Cove, UT. We spent the week doing most of our traditional activities: talking, laughing, eating, playing games, hiking, swimming, and just enjoying each other! We also missed Grandpa Fred as this was our first love-in without him and we shared favorite memories of Mamo because it was her 100th birthday!
