jack and my grandpa.

i was looking through the myriad of photos that i took over the weekend from our idaho trip. i noticed i didn't take very many of jack at my dad's wedding. probably due to the fact that i was holding him pretty much the whole time. i notice that whatever twin i'm not holding gets more pictures taken of him. that time, it happened to be mckay.

the following day at my grandfather's grave in pocatello, however, jack got his chance.

this one is my favorite:

 i love that we named our kids after virtuous people that they can really look up to. 

addilynn vada is named after my mom's mom, vada n. rudd.

hollynd claudia is named after elder jeffrey r. holland, a latter-day apostle; and claudia e. bowler, lynn's mom.

jackson tad is named after my dad's dad, jack d. morris; and tad nielson, my grandmother vada's brother. {get it--vada's brother is tad; addie vada's brother is jackson tad--i know, i know soooo clever}

randy mckay is obviously named after lynn and his dad.

i hope to teach our kids all we know about who they are named after and what made them so special so they can realize the legacy of faith, virtue and strength that has been passed to them. 

i think it would be cool to get a picture of tad's grave this year to go with this one; then it will be complete.

ps. i left the flowers me and kaydee held during dad & susan's wedding ceremony.

grandpa, i miss you.
