Things we know about our Mom and grandma... She loves the beach! She loves her grand kids, and is proud of them, she loves a scoop of black walnut and jamocha almond fudge ice cream from Baskin Robbins, she loves lemon meringue pie, she hates to be kept waiting, everything she does she does 110%, she doesn't have time for this, (just kidding mom) she loves to take pictures....especially of her grand kids, but doesn't like to be in them, she loves to shop, she loves to travel, she IS going to be on the front row, she sends the best care packages with plenty of goodies, according to her grand kids in Oregon, she makes the best mashed potatoes, roast and rolls, (no matter how hard I try, they just never taste as good as grandma's,) she is fun, she loves our dad, she loves the gospel, she follows the prophet, she loves the temple, and she knows her Savior. She is a great mom and an awesome grandma. Thanks for being there each time we welcomed a new baby into our family, I will never forget that you were there to share this special time with me, you were there to take photos, clean my house, make good meals, and buy the cutest outfits. Thanks Mom for taking the time to make sure everything is just right so we all can have great memories. Thanks Mom, for instilling a love for the beach in us all, for teaching us to do our very best, and most of all for the time and service you have given to each of us. We all love you! Happy Birthday~

This was always a highlight of the summer.

Trick or Treat

This years costumes consisted of a dead soccer player, a dead Daniel Boone, one Jungle Fury rhino Power ranger, and Mr. Incredible. Josh stayed home with me and ate, I mean passed out candy! It rained all day, but stopped in time for trick or treating! Phew~

" I love candy!"

Savannah had a soccer game the next morning all the way in Hood River. That meant road trip for just the girls in this family....wow, the car was quite...except for the random burst of singing! Their team won 2-0. It poured the whole time. I love the rain, except for when I have to watch soccer in it. It was a fun day and a beautiful drive through the Gorge.

Halloween Party with cousins at Grandma and Grandpa's!

Each year on Halloween night we get together with the Ballard cousins and head to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a night filled with fun, games and a TON of candy! This has been such a fun tradition for our family. This year my parents had the party on a different day because they would be working at the temple. There is always some "friendly" competition between the cousins with the bobbing for apples and other games. ( Savannah has defended her apple bobbing championship title with a time of 3.78 seconds!) We love this fun time with grandma and grandpa. Such great memories.
