Happy Birthday Turk & Happy Easter


Grandpa Turk's birthday fell on Easter Sunday this year... he would of been 65 years old. We sure miss him, but love thinking back on the wonderful memories we have of him. I would ask the kids why we celebrate Easter and Porter would tell me it's because of Grandpa's birthday, needless to say we had to set straight his confused mind. The boys hid eggs in the house all week and were very anxious for the real deal. They begged to color eggs and enjoyed every minute of it. I think they already ate all 2 dozen hard boiled eggs, I guess there's nothing like eating a colored egg. We had a wonderful day, rejoicing in what the Savior did for us and how He made it possible for us to see and be with Grandpa Turk again!

Well, as we are here celebrating Easter and Jesus Christ, Grandpa Turk is up there with our Savior. What a great thing to think about. I'm sure he is watching over you guys as well.

Apparently not. He has to wait it out on the meds. Hopefully it goes away fast. Right now he is on narcotics and Tylenol and these pills to kill bacteria. He has to go back if it doesn't get better or if it gets worse in the next couple days.
