Our Weekend

This weekend Jake and I went with JJ and Kellie to Kellies cabin in the Uintahs with the kids. It was so nice to be able to get away and be able to go paintballing and four wheeling. It was my first time paintballing so i was a little nervous but surprisingly it wasnt too bad i didnt experience any bad hits to the point where i got welts but i think i was the only one. Unfortunately me and kylie had really bad allergies and were stuffy and sick the whole time but we tried not to let it ruin our fun. On Saturday we were going to go find wildlife moose especially when we bumped into Jakes family. They had some bad news to tell us they had tried calling us but nobody had phone service. Grandpa Russell had passed away. They were doing a blood transfusion and during the time they released a blood clot and he wasn't able to survive. He left us really fast and really unexpected. Last we had all seen him he was doing really well and was striving to survive but he did not have enough strength to over come this trial. They later discovered that he had more cancer in his lymph nodes and was showing signs of pnumonia so it was just a matter of time. Grandpa was Jakes hero he wants to be just like him and strives to be everyday. He is missed greatly. Grandpa touched everyones lives in someway he was an amazing man with many different personality triats that has influenced everyone around him. We miss him dearly and will keep him in our hearts forever. We Love You Grandpa Russell!!!!!
