We took a trip to Burley, Idaho a couple weekends ago for Jonny's grandma's funeral. While it was sad to see her go, it was definitely nice to know that she won't be suffering anymore. She was 88 and had a pretty serious case of Alzheimer's. It was also really great to spend some time with Jonny's extended family. We played games and hung out talking. We also got to meet Jonny's cousin's fiancee. Emily, his cousin, is pretty awesome, so we were a little hesitant about this Bobby kid, but he proved his "worthiness" to join the family right away. I'm sure he was pretty intimidated by meeting the family all at once, but he did well. He will forever be known as the arm wrestling champion of the family. :) Oh, how I wish I had a picture of that!
Anyway, the funeral itself was ok...a little too long, in my opinion. After the service, we drove about 30 minutes to Oakley, ID where Grandma Paloma was to be buried. It was very cold and very windy, so I wasn't able to get as many pictures there as I would've liked.
Grandma Paloma's casket with Grandpa Bill in the background. I couldn't imagine being without my spouse...
Andrew, Michael, Jonny and Christian at their brother, Dan's, grave. He was stillborn in 1975.
Lily fell asleep on the way to the cemetery...
Everyone in this picture is a descendant or spouse of a descendant of Bill and Paloma. Wow. That's a lot of people!
Good ole Eric. He's a funny guy.
Emily and me after a loooong night of fun and games.
And that pretty much sums it up! What a fun family!
