Remembering Grandpa Brown


Nine years ago, January 13, 2003, we lost our Grandpa Brown.
Life has marched on and children have grown,
but the memory of Grandpa Brown will always remain.

We rode our bikes to the cemetary
to pay tribute to him, his life and legacy.

 Katie, one of Haley's best friends, had the missionary discussions

Haley kept us entertained coming out of the anthesia
 after having her wisdom teeth pulled in September


Bennett tore it up on the basketball court wearing #31 for the Poston Panthers!


Cassidy had a busy couple of months working on homecoming

Haley got all decked out to go to the Taylor Swift concert in October
