Celebrating Dad/Grandpa

We headed to Arizona to celebrate Dad/Grandpa/Great Grandpa's life.

A great husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather

93 years old and a WWII B-29 pilot
It was a bittersweet time but we loved seeing all the cousins and catching up with everyone. It was fun watching the slideshow of pictures of his life.
Of course Grandma Sanford was ecstatic to see all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren in one place.

We enjoyed family dinners and fun with all the cousins while we were there.

Funerals are a sad time, but they also bring people together.. it reunited everyone.

We're also grateful for eternal families so that we can see grandpa/great grandpa again someday.

Evan's 34th Birthday

This year we just kept our birthday celebrations small since we had a trip to AZ planned at the end of February right between our birthdays.

For Evan's birthday I got a pie from Village Inn and we played games at our house. Pretty low key... it was nice!

Even though his outdoorsy-ness and obsession with love for all things Oregon drive me crazy sometimes, I love Evan so much! :)  I am grateful that he is willing to work to support our family and I love how much he has grown as a father and husband this year. He is so attentive and caring and always tries to have a positive outlook on every situation. Thanks for tolerating my craziness!!! Love you!
