January 2015

Mike took Zach and Nicholas to see the Ducks play in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA with the Nissinens.
They loved it!  And the Ducks won!

We stayed home and cheered them on!
That is the ONLY Duck game I've watched on my own without Mike.

Their flight got in early enough so they could see the "stars" in Hollywood and found their favorite.
Nicholas, Mike, Zach, B, Joe

I met Mike and the boys at the airport on their way home, gave him the car keys, and got on the airplane myself to head to
Spokane for Grandad's funeral.   He was 100 years old.
This is the last time we all were in Grandad's kitchen.  (Shortly after it was significantly remodeled and sold.)
Jonathan, Aaron, Ginger, Adam, Luke, LaRene, me, Rusty, Dad, Mom.  (All but Ben.)

Grandad's sons and some grandsons as pall bearers.
