“The imprint of a father remains forever on the life of a child.” - Roy Lessin
My Dad and I in 1982.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Behind every one of my dreams, there was your quiet strength, your encouragement, and your love - a special bond between me and my dad, a special kind of love that lasts forever. I may have grown up, Dad, but I’ll always be your “little girl” - the one who loves you very much. Happy Father’s Day - Dad. I love you very much!
We’re looking forward to seeing you in 5 days!!!! I love you, Dad - Carey XXOX

I remember the day you were born…and was probably just as excited as your parents!
You had so much hair…
and then a few months later it was all gone!
Happy 19th Birthday - Bryson! You are very special to us and remember God loves you very much and we do too - Uncle Gino, Aunt Carey, and Isabel

After the second funeral some of the family headed over to the Golden Corral for some lunch, fellowship with one another and then we broke up as a group and headed in different directions for home…
I LOVE this picture of Isabel with her cousin Lexi…so sweet.
Thank you Lexi!

Monday we headed out as a carivan of 6 cars headed to Pueblo, Colorado to Gma Tee’s second funeral with more family and friends. Along the way, we stopped and enjoyed time together and the scenery around us as we traveled. Enjoy!
In Utah, just before the Colorado boarder we saw this perfect circle in the the clouds.
In Green River, Utah we stopped for lunch and Gino noticed the temperature displayed on the dash…O.k. it gets hot in Utah but not that HOT!
In Colorado, we drove through some gorgeous mountain passes.
This fertile valley was lush with green grass and nestled in the valley beyond was a farm (you can just make out the red barn).
Dillon Pinnacles along Lake Fork.
Rest stop and potty break before heading back onto the open road…

On Sunday, we spent the afternoon over at Nana and Pompo’s relaxing and visiting with family. I warmed up a ham in the oven for everyone and we had leftover salad’s from the funeral dinner the day before. Isabel was the the crowd “stealer”; she twirled and danced for everyone! She had so much fun spending time with all her cousins and family. Enjoy!

Before we headed over to Nana and Pompo’s, we stopped by the nest to see how the baby’s were doing since we didn’t stop to see them the day before…
In just one day they have grown so much!
Their heads are fully above the rim of the nest now! They are about to burst from their tiny home! The next day, we left for Colorado and didn’t hear about the babies until we arrived back at home; when we learned that they had flown the nest! On Tuesday, one baby flew away and the following day, the other left as well.
