Tara Shepherd Robertson passed away on the 8th of November. There’s no fun, blog worthy way to say that…

I was able to go to the funeral on Monday the 14th. It’s unbelievable and heart breaking that she is gone. I feel so bad for her girls 🙁 Really there are no words. Tara had a big heart and loved to have fun. She had a great laugh and a great smile. Unfortunately her addictions controlled her for the last several years and she was taken way too early. Lots of nice memories were shared at the funeral and it was good to remember her for the person she was and wanted to be and forget some of the blah and anger.

Tara will be missed.

Jana and Sean had a beautiful reception. It was in Jana’s backyard in Galt, CA. We all helped set up and Mom and Dad’s friends ran the kitchen all night! We visited and made sure kids didn’t fall in the pool. We ate yummy waffles and just enjoyed the atmosphere. We did our Sean Roast that was way to nice! We laughed at Brady and Reynolds jumping in the pool and then chased their car out of the driveway. We had everything taken down and cleaned up in less than an hour and crashed out at Tracie’s house for the night.

Sean and Jana are married! 1:00 on Saturday November 12th! I am really happy for them and from my standpoint it was PERFECT. We had so much fun and they were ShInInG all day. The sealing was performed by President Papa and it was wonderful. A room full of family is amazing.

We took our family picture right when we got there to try and capture happy kids but it didn’t work too well.

and a few of my favorites:

We got to go watch Ryan and Mary be sealed in the Sacramento temple! It was just over a year after their September wedding in 2015. Friday November 11:

After Ryan and Mary were sealed they brought in their kids and the kids got to watch as Annie was sealed to Ryan and Mary!! It was really special to be there and be surrounded by LOVE in the Lord’s house. These covenants are real and powerful and sacred and I WANT TO BE BETTER.

that evening the boys all took Sean out for 1 more night of brotherly fun 🙂
