Grandma Hafen

I can't imagine a world without you here

Luckily I know you will always be near.

 

 

There are so many memories, where to begin
You were more than just a Grandma, more than a friend.

You were the center of our universe and will always be....
Forever in our lives, a constant memory.

Your advice and support helped us all through
the good times and bad, what are we going to do without you?

We're going to try to be strong and faithful as well,
so we can all return to Heaven with you and not "Oh... hell".

We're going to shower people with compliments, like you always did.
Tell them “we're proud and that they’re such a good kid!”

Whenever we see anyone we’ll also tell them they're cute
And tell ourselves not forget to say shit, damn, or hell sometimes instead of just "shoot".

 We're going to spend weekends in Pinto and still flood the lawn.

Sit by the campfire, roast mellows and wish you weren't gone.

 

 

We'll play pinochle and zilch and be thinking of you

And your constant love which will still get us through.

 

 

Speaking of love, your love for the Jazz will not die alone.

I'll never forget you crushing on Karl Malone.

 

 

You last words of advice I'll also remember forever--

"You don’t have to be in bed to have fun".

You were always so clever.

 

 

And no matter the occasion you'd bust into tears

Birthdays, proms, graduations, any family gatherings over the years.

Those sweet tears you would cry on a daily basis

if we collected them all, we'd have our own oasis.

Constant family get-togethers will not be the same,
I'm afraid without your humor they might get a bit lame.

Off course the holidays are going to be really hard...
Christmas Eve program, coloring eggs, and the pumpkin carve.

Are just a few of the many Family Traditions we'll cherish always
And will remember you Grandma with utter amaze.

The example you set we will all try to continue.
Grandma Hafen Patterson we sure do miss and love you!!!

I grew up spending weekends in Pinto with this bunch. It was really just me and the boys but because I have gotten so close to Magen we finally included her (ha ha ha)

 

The Funeral went amazing. It was filled with memories and laughter.

We released 100 balloons and they headed straight for Pinto. Coincidence.... I don't think so

Halloween Party

Yep thats my Family..... pretty impressive if you ask me (ha ha ha).

a bit of Powell

not just the Land of Ice

 For some reason "Labor" Day only reminds me of giving birth, so gratefully I went another Labor Day weekend without bearing a child.

Instead I headed back to NY and visited my girlfriend Dana in upstate New York and while there

she was like "I think there is a Mormon site just a mile from my house. I've never been but do you want to see it. I said yes and lo and behold It was the WHITMER FARM!!! She got a little more than she bargained for, the missionaries were all over her.

The US OPEN:

Off course we made our way closer because our seats were pretty high. We ended up in the press box and just steping over the yellow chain. It was awesome and we sat there all weekend, the best part is the usher started recognizing our faces and we didn't even have to sneak in anymore

Thanks MoM

We've Moved

Incase you didnt know. We have moved back to Utah

It seemed like we spent more than enough time in the moving truck!

We even slept in it one night. 2 Words, NOT FUN

Where the streets smell like Chocolate

Hershey PA

Oh Massive Reeses how we miss you. We babied that thing, making sure it wouldn't melt and it made it all the way back to Utah without being eaten by Steve or I. Only to have been accidentally eaten by someone else because they didn't know it was ours. It was a devastating blow when we finally decided to eat it and it was gone.
