crazy week.

This Wednesday I had the opportunity to join a couple of my Aunts on a ride down to Vegas. It was good for me. It was great to see my Aunt and Uncle and hang out with cousin Luke. It was also hard, But being there and watching Kristin helped me want to be stronger and live life to my fullest. I totally envy her strength through all of this. Here is a few pics of My sweet baby cousin Ruby! She was so perfect! Here is the story of baby Ruby.
When I was in Vegas my mom called me for some more devistating news. My Grandma had an MRI done and found out she had a baseball sized tumor in her head. That day they admitted her to the hospital and she had surgery Saturday morning. To this point she is in some intensive recovery. Which I'm hoping wont last too long. Love you GG!

Grandfather.



This father, grandfather, great grandfather & great great grandfather passed away peacefully in his rockin chair October 7 2011. 96 years old. He will be greatly missed. His funeral was so beautiful. This man has a lot of posterity. Starting with his beautiful daughters that did an amazing job at taking care of him. Memories flooded the room as favorite tunes of Aftons were played. We will always save you a dance... Love you grandpa.















Re-united with his sweetheart...

 Grandpa served in the Navy... I love when they come and do this at funerals. So patriotic.



twenty-eight?

Yup you heard right. Ryan is big 28! He has had a crazy busy working schedule the past month. So it was good that his birthday happen to land on a Sunday & General Conference :D He received his "traditional" breakfast in bed. (ps he got to sleep in!) He got Jason Aldean Concert tickets & a new outfit. (He always bought him some expensive golf clubs this year... so thats really what he got for his birthday). We spent the day relaxing and eating and watching general conference. What a good birthday.

Ryker thought he needed to have breakfast in bed to....
so.. dad shared...

Yes... we pretty much just spent the day eating away... ha

Happy birthday Dad!
