Families are like chocolate- mostly sweet with a few nuts!

In Loving Memory

Last month Shilo and I both lost our Grandmas.  The only two days that it snowed in November where the days that we had funerals.  We loved our Grandmas and they both lived examples of Christ-like lives.

My Grandma Beth Tietjen passed away Oct. 28, 2011.  I loved to hear my Grandma sing and she would play games with us.  I got to grow up right next door to them, so I have many precious memories. But now she gets to be with Grandpa in Heaven.  Grandma had dementia/ Alzheimers for about 3 years.

The Tietjen Sisters!  This is at Grandma Tietjen's funeral. 



 Shilo's Grandma LaVerda Bingham passed away Nov. 26, 2011 at the age of 95.  We loved visiting them because we lived so close.  She would let us pick apples and would always give the boys cookies and play with her farm toys.

Rachael took this picture at the funeral.  It is most of all of Shilo's cousins and their families.  Grandpa is in the middle.  What a posterity!


It has been an humbling experience to lose loved ones.  We are just grateful for the gospel and the plan of salvation.  We know that Families are Forever!

We ate at the church and had so much fun.  We also played at the Ammon school.  It was a nice day outside and the kids loved it.
 We had fun playing with balls in the gym, going on a treasure hunt, preforming songs, and playing games.  We wore the kids out!
