saying goodby

IMG_8346
my grandma, Jackie Isabelle Hobb, passed away on June 26th, 2017. she is already greatly missed. she is survived by her husband, William (Bill) Hobb, her daughters, Cathy Camp and Twylla Hobb, her grand children, Jesse Camp, Jamie Harrison, Kylee Scholar, Katie Jennings, Chelsea Taylor, Emily Nedesky-Cruz, and Andrew Nedesky. They, along with her 15 great grandchildren, were blessed by her life and her love for family.
I had the opportunity to open and welcome everyone to grandma’s service. i cried the entire time, but i said what i wanted to say. it was an honor to speak on our families behalf.

4th of july eve

every 4th of july eve we set off a bunch of fireworks in our cul-de-sec. it is eli's favorite 3 hours of the year. he likes to see the big fireworks downtown, but he would far rather set these guys off himself. 
that is one happy boy right there
notice the ear protection, she still hates loud noises

this is his heaven. 4th of july eve is his favorite day of the year

the viewing area
smoke bombs are the best
running for their lives
