Catching up

January seems to have come and gone very quickly and when I started writing this post I realize February had to. Afew things that have been happening at the Gardner's, Kyndall started club volleyball and now track, Brad is in full swing with Ironman training, Torrie has moved to Provo (I miss that girl), and I have just been holding it all together hahaha.

Brads sweet Granfather "Big Ard" passed away last month, from the moment I met him 22 years ago I have adored him. He was the ultimate Patriarch to his family, had an unwavering testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, a Veteran,  and was just simply a great man. All of his 41 granchildren attended his funeral minus one who is on a mission. Brad had the great honor to speak as the oldest grandson, an assigment he took very seriously and wanted to represent everyone, I think he did an amazing job. As I listened to all the stories of Grandpa is became very apparent to me that Brad gets so many of his traits from him.





 

 


 

This beautiful casket was made by his son and gransdon the top pieces were taken from tables that he had made, he was also an amazing craftsmen. You will be greatly missed Arden Hutchings but have a posterity that will carry on your works for years to come.
