Make New Memories ...Cherish the Old

In a prior post I talked about Tahoe being one of my favorite places in the world!! It did not disappoint this trip either. My family has gone to Tahoe every summer for as long as I can remember. We have spent such wonderful family times there. It is also the place we spread my dad's ashes. My Nani recently passed away and we knew she wanted nothing more than to join my dad so we decided to spread her ashes in the same place. My mom, Toby, Tien, Kailynn, and Brennan all traveled to Sacramento for a few days. We were able to visit with good friends and Grandpa even came to see us!

Brooke loved her Aunt Titi, Uncle Toooby, and cousins Kailynn and Brennan. Everyday she asks where they are and when they are coming back. She is also curious of why Grammy is not here!??! It is so nice that she has become attached to both our families since we can't see them all the time.

Then we headed to Tahoe. It was great......the boys golfed, we fished for crawdads, hung out on the beach, ate yummy food, and laughed with good friends. The morning we placed Nani's ashes was so peaceful, we said our goodbyes and talked about good times. It was a special moment knowing she was with her son again.

We decided that this needs to be a yearly tradition (minus spreading the ashes) as we continued to make such wonderful memories and honor those that have left us too early!
