Uncle Keith's funeral and family gathering 1/6/12

This was happy and sad week.  An important part of our lives left us.  My Uncle Keith past away who lived in SLC and the viewing was on the day that we drove Cody, Jess and the kids to catch their flight to Wis.  Dillon and I arranged rooms at the Hyatt near the airport and my father, mother and bros including spouses met there prior to going to the viewing.  These pics don't do much to depict the great service the great time we had as a family and the time spent together.  Dad ended up footing the bill for all of the rooms.  Dil, Tess, and the kids came up later that day and brought Jordin with them.  We had joining rooms which made it nice.

 Here is a pic of the little ones the day before we headed out to the airport.

 After the wonderful service on Saturday at the Tooele Cemetery.  Here is a pic of  Layne, Charlotta, Terri, Tyler and Amanda waiting for the rest of the family to arrive.
 A rare smile from the love of my life.  She never likes having pics taken of her.
 My cousins children.  Pall bearers for their Grandfather.


 Yep, I love her...




 Mike and Essie.
 As you can see from this picture he is not a spastic!
 Get a room!

 Back at church after the luncheon.

 We had a little solo cup celebration.  A late night snacking affair in Dad and Mom's handicapped condo.  Mom was not happy they were at the end of the hall.  Luckily the rest of us were all in the same area which made it nice to go from room to room. I won't mention any names (to protect the innocent)  There may be wanted posters out on some of these people.
 Becky, Robert and Dad.
Lucy... the story here is that we went to the store to get Lucy some food.  Spent $85 dollars on treats and junk food and  she fell asleep 5 minutes before we got back from the store. The next morning was Sunday and we headed home in time for church. It was a good 2 nights of being together.
