Grandparents


Yesterday would have been my grandpa's 90th birthday and my grandma's 88th birthday. They had the privilage of sharing a birthday, just 2 years apart. It's been almost 10 years since my grandpa died and almost 8 since my grandma passed. Wow, has it really been that long? Both died within weeks of their 80th birthdays. We've always said they planned it that way. 80 was just a good number I guess. I miss them and think about them on a daily basis. I came across this picture the other day while going through some old pictures. I was afraid I had lost it. I just love this picture. Wasn't my grandpa handsome? He looks like he should have been a movie star. And my grandma was the most beautiful person inside and out. They lived life to the fullest and loved each and every grandchild so much, but of course I like to think I was the favorite! I know that no matter where I'm at or what I am doing, my grandparents are watching over me. I just hope that I'm making them proud. I love and miss you both!!

Our Family Valentine's Day








We were invited by Josh's sister Crystal to go snowmobiling with their family yesterday. So we loaded up the girls and drove to Crouch (by Garden Valley). From there we rode the snowmobiles up to Silver Creek Plunge Hot Springs. This hot springs is only accessible by snowmobile in the winter. Tenlee was not a fan of the ride at first, but by the time we got there she was enjoying herself and actually fell asleep on the ride home! We had a great time! The weather was perfect. It was snowing when we got up there, but then the sun did come out for awhile. It was a great way to spend the day. I had plans to clean the house and get caught up on some things, but I'm glad that David and Crystal were able to talk us into going with them. Thanks guys!
