Hooray! Baby Garret Robert Winkel is finally here! He arrived on 3/24 at 8AM, weighing in at 6lbs 13 oz and 21 in long. He is adorable and we love him so. We are so excited to have him in our family!
Just six days after Grandpa Boyer passed away, MarRae's dad, Grandpa Jensen died. It was a little bit of a shock, we knew he wasn't doing well but we thought he had a few more months. Grandpa Jensen was a very hard worker. He had a large fruit farm in Orem that he worked on for many years. Andy has told me how much he loved sports, and how he would always talk to him about the Jazz. He was a big Yankee fan and loved BYU football. MarRae spoke at the funeral and told an awesome story about how one morning she woke up about 6:30 AM and heard someone in her yard. She walked out to the back and there was her Dad planting a Peach tree.
The Saturday before he passed away, we drove to Heber with Lamar, MarRae, Rory, Nick and Michelle to see Grandpa and Grandma Jensen. I'm so glad Andy got to see him before he went, and to tell him he loved him and that he was a great Grandpa.
A couple of weeks ago, we received a call from Andy's mom telling us that Lamar's dad had passed away. Grandpa Boyer was such a sweet man who always had a smile on his face. Andy's uncles, Allen and Max flew in and we had a dinner at Gary's house the Saturday before the funeral. Then there was a viewing on Sunday and the funeral on Monday. It was a very nice funeral.
Rory and Tahnie had their beautiful baby girl, Sookie, on February 1st. She is so precious...and we love her so much and are thrilled she is in the family.
My birthday was on a Monday this year...which means celebrating from Friday to Monday--all weekend long! We rented a room from Noah's and played raquetball, wally-ball and pool all night long! It was awesome!
Then on Monday Andy took me to breakfast at Ruth's Diner and then we met the rest of the Bush fam (those that could make it) at Fro-gurt!
