THE DAYTON FAMILY

********* Mom ***************** Taylor ***************** Dad *********

My sweet Grandmother passed away last Sunday, September 14, around 3:00pm after a 9-month battle with a brain tumor. She was just 69. Although I am glad that she is no longer in pain, it still sad and upsetting that she is gone. I expected her to be with us for another 20 years at least because she has always been so healthy. I am glad that she was able to fight the tumor long enough to meet Taylor and also to see lots of family at reunions this summer. She loved doing family history work and making connections with people. She loved serving a mission with my Grandfather, but missed her family terribly. They were supposed to leave for another mission earlier this year, and she kept on preparing for it throughout her fight with cancer in hopes that she would get over it and they would still be able to go. I will miss her so much and am incredibly grateful for the Plan of Salvation so that we can see and live with her again. Obituary: http://www.legacy.com/saltlaketribune/Obituaries.asp?...

I love my adorable baby boy! Last weekend was the first BYU football game - yay!!! We dressed Tay in Cougar Blue, but he didn't come to the game, he got to hang out with Grandma Cindy instead. :) This week we said goodbye to David's sister, Chrissy, and her daughter April. We won't see them again until Christmas...sad! They were here for a couple of months while Chrissy's husband has been deployed. He's a pilot in the Air Force. We will miss them a lot, but are glad that they'll get to see their husband & dad again. Tay and I went hiking with my mom this week: 5 hours of carrying a 13.5lb baby. I think I did pretty well considering it was my first real exercise since having a baby 9 weeks ago!
