My grandpa Ford passed away on December 30, 2009.
Grandpa was 88 years old and had been married to my Grandma for 64 wonderful years.
The last year of Grandpa's life was hard for him and hard for me to watch, but some of my favorite memories of Grandpa came during this year, mostly because Kiley was able to really get to know Grandpa. Kiley loved Grandpa so much. She really loved going to visit him at his home. I never even had to ask her to give Grandpa a kiss and hug, she did that on her own.
I feel so fortunate to have had 25 years with Grandpa Ford. He is the kind of person I could only hope to become.
The memorial service was held on Saturday, January 9, 2010 at the Hope Lutheran Church in Temecula, CA. I could not believe how many people came to pay their respects to Grandpa. The church was packed and rows and rows of people stood up in the back as well.
Grandpa has been such an amazing example in my life. My family has been so blessed because of Grandpa. He will forever be in our hearts and in our memories.

Merry Christmas
This year we went up to Utah for Christmas. I've never been much of a fan of the snow, but Shawn and Kiley are. Kiley loved going outside and thanks to mom and dad, she had appropriate clothes to wear out in the snow.
- After Christmas morning, Shawn and Kiley were pretty exhausted so they took a little nap on the couch together.
- Gus and Shawn have gotten a lot closer over the years. Close enough to share a snuggie and hot chocolate.
- Kiley got a lot of Elmo things for Christmas this year. Her favorite Elmo is probably "Baby Elmo" from Auntie Lisa and Uncle Gus.
- The dogs enjoyed Christmas this year also, they got a couple bones in their stockings. I think Darla liked the snow more then Hank.
- We went up to the Ford cabin in Heber for a quick visit on Thursday (Christmas Eve). Kiley and Ashton played so well together. And mom read them a book, notice Kiley's face! We started watching The Little Mermaid while the boys were off on the snowmobiles.
- Both Kiley and Ashton wanted to sit with Auntie Melissa during the movie.
- We were fortunate to get to see "Touchdown" in action this year.
- Kiley was not too fond of Leila at first, but as the days progressed, she was more friendly with her.
