Since Kateylyn had a dance performance in Salt Lake at the Jazz game, Cameron and I went to the rehearsal and then took the "Front Runner" back home. Man was it ever fun! Nothing like the look on a little boys face riding on his first train. We saw so many fun things out the window, big trucks, other trains, even horses. Having a snack when you are sitting on the top level at a table seat is a must. Mom provided and yummy snack pack that needed to be finished. The pictures in now proof that every kid will open a Oreo and eat the middle first, even without milk. Thanks for the adventure Cam, Grandma will never forget it!Grandma Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13400205638963652334noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846436072171761947.post-49602149150046103052010-04-20T09:48:00.000-07:002010-04-20T10:21:10.722-07:00Fun times with Katelyn and Cameron<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRTux_ZsNt1qabar4k4aS7_yUcn4iylMfkzUZEIfAwbEjXdbjppiKKlRORqXCeD2qzV5oE1QD8kQw7gfVCKy_CFHVdPeQcshf7J1VQ7Lmg-P8OnETEUmfcZmzJsQpagY6wbdr1Xc5V0jQ/s1600/kdk_0264.JPG"><br /></a><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJ4_X8Dx6yiJyH2eTRhMdlW3g_c9_M0qNsN0y_HTzecQEyAdXHotPZC8Z-2bhf2QgyJNOv6IlrJt7Guh12Vc5FB6arf1VV_027owSZtkX8JYhZXL0HuyUaWpRiEqym5_GNzB4UVEEwe0/s1600/kdk_0262.JPG">Spending time with my grandchildren is precious time for me. They keep me busy with all the fun adventures we can come up with. Aunt Jill gave Katelyn a fun new game for Christmas called "Hullabaloo" and it is so fun to play. The best part is when I get too tired I can just run the game. You have to follow the recorded instructions. You move to different game pieces on the floor and freeze when directed so see if you win. They look so cute when the "freeze" Even Cam can play this game.<br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcibbbDv2YCRug8Xlh3dUiJp4VRrua57VFmM72eNG5ylAStIG5NduzGUozkj8yt4suX0otV4zZ7jSvX_TGuBgyLAWH-vRuOKZoNOsl6IzWDO-Xofgg-_iIKpFLgh_moiY2biHJe1-M0iE/s1600/kdk_0260.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvm_igmDQQoS-nWUWvCD09fT1GWWa5AOpXvNu910KFTyAoyc2YcaRySRk9U0HZKulmZzdOd4Qp-YfcYh66y8meHga-d1eSLrY2xL-Ec8qkWBXTNSnmObGMBeQ26kVrBe6li3UxclwvH-s/s1600/kdk_0256.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvm_igmDQQoS-nWUWvCD09fT1GWWa5AOpXvNu910KFTyAoyc2YcaRySRk9U0HZKulmZzdOd4Qp-YfcYh66y8meHga-d1eSLrY2xL-Ec8qkWBXTNSnmObGMBeQ26kVrBe6li3UxclwvH-s/s320/kdk_0256.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462263807757342338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisFHngFFDzg8uwq5AFt0nwAyoCt-qPpz74MG-3igAMoKGKaeKY9em4a-j7OiT2KPmQerQIfp2UDkbCek4zk_4sh5Yz78LA1rMjEaIk0zQU0ATCrzfIJ-8OG5h1h1O92LrYEEVXVvOXO_w/s1600/kdk_0255.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisFHngFFDzg8uwq5AFt0nwAyoCt-qPpz74MG-3igAMoKGKaeKY9em4a-j7OiT2KPmQerQIfp2UDkbCek4zk_4sh5Yz78LA1rMjEaIk0zQU0ATCrzfIJ-8OG5h1h1O92LrYEEVXVvOXO_w/s320/kdk_0255.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462263804012456914" border="0" /></a><br />On one of the recent visits we went to a fun family place in Kaysville called "Boondocks". Wow did I over estimate how many great things were there to catch the eye of a two year old. We went to play mini bowling. Katelyn loved it, Cameron was over it after about three balls. Katelyn was happy to take his turn and after a short time we were ready to move on. We checked out all the fun games ( when your feet won't reach the pedals it is really fun to just pretend like you are driving. That won't last forever.) We had a blast but Grandma came home very tired! Next time we will go during a more quiet time of day.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRTux_ZsNt1qabar4k4aS7_yUcn4iylMfkzUZEIfAwbEjXdbjppiKKlRORqXCeD2qzV5oE1QD8kQw7gfVCKy_CFHVdPeQcshf7J1VQ7Lmg-P8OnETEUmfcZmzJsQpagY6wbdr1Xc5V0jQ/s1600/kdk_0264.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRTux_ZsNt1qabar4k4aS7_yUcn4iylMfkzUZEIfAwbEjXdbjppiKKlRORqXCeD2qzV5oE1QD8kQw7gfVCKy_CFHVdPeQcshf7J1VQ7Lmg-P8OnETEUmfcZmzJsQpagY6wbdr1Xc5V0jQ/s320/kdk_0264.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462263837412348114" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJ4_X8Dx6yiJyH2eTRhMdlW3g_c9_M0qNsN0y_HTzecQEyAdXHotPZC8Z-2bhf2QgyJNOv6IlrJt7Guh12Vc5FB6arf1VV_027owSZtkX8JYhZXL0HuyUaWpRiEqym5_GNzB4UVEEwe0/s1600/kdk_0262.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJ4_X8Dx6yiJyH2eTRhMdlW3g_c9_M0qNsN0y_HTzecQEyAdXHotPZC8Z-2bhf2QgyJNOv6IlrJt7Guh12Vc5FB6arf1VV_027owSZtkX8JYhZXL0HuyUaWpRiEqym5_GNzB4UVEEwe0/s320/kdk_0262.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462263832118781506" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcibbbDv2YCRug8Xlh3dUiJp4VRrua57VFmM72eNG5ylAStIG5NduzGUozkj8yt4suX0otV4zZ7jSvX_TGuBgyLAWH-vRuOKZoNOsl6IzWDO-Xofgg-_iIKpFLgh_moiY2biHJe1-M0iE/s1600/kdk_0260.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcibbbDv2YCRug8Xlh3dUiJp4VRrua57VFmM72eNG5ylAStIG5NduzGUozkj8yt4suX0otV4zZ7jSvX_TGuBgyLAWH-vRuOKZoNOsl6IzWDO-Xofgg-_iIKpFLgh_moiY2biHJe1-M0iE/s320/kdk_0260.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462263818348838914" border="0" /></a>Grandma Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13400205638963652334noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846436072171761947.post-36068769260110233212009-08-23T12:04:00.000-07:002009-08-23T12:49:51.723-07:00Cameron is 2 years old!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho11u0m_3w3yQOLiEt93EZrue52JjduK7GKlLDfa5SACfRKCMutrOAEYLRtqsG2mP16bpvtysNKv1_KAmCWoU6ZlXGqQUdW9uQybqKk4684GEH8DDmFBTVvFhiYEJIks75b-U9aZ1X-ws/s1600-h/kdk_0171.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho11u0m_3w3yQOLiEt93EZrue52JjduK7GKlLDfa5SACfRKCMutrOAEYLRtqsG2mP16bpvtysNKv1_KAmCWoU6ZlXGqQUdW9uQybqKk4684GEH8DDmFBTVvFhiYEJIks75b-U9aZ1X-ws/s320/kdk_0171.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373240815976209986" border="0" /></a><br />Blowing out the candles is the fun part, but not a easy as it looks!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVggCJ2Xqbff2B9p49VF_xXT3l0ke63rXuJz6jeBD5GhOe_eCln7XLf2Npc6MOZdhDlA_xIh8bU7SzhgthR91d0bjlHJiXOmV1zdANdcX0bD_e4x5mqwxLtk-VjGDuL6Jv4dKA0Dwtge0/s1600-h/kdk_0170.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVggCJ2Xqbff2B9p49VF_xXT3l0ke63rXuJz6jeBD5GhOe_eCln7XLf2Npc6MOZdhDlA_xIh8bU7SzhgthR91d0bjlHJiXOmV1zdANdcX0bD_e4x5mqwxLtk-VjGDuL6Jv4dKA0Dwtge0/s320/kdk_0170.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373238158910610242" border="0" /></a>Nicole always does a great job on the cake.

When we found this park we were actually a little lost. We were going to another park the kids liked but somehow I got lost so we found this one instead. We had the whole place to ourselves for a bit and then these little kids came, At first I think Cameron thought they were invading our park but quickly found it fun to play and watch the others.

He looks great for 90 and still lives on his own and manages just fine. We took the grand kids with us so Marty and Nicole could do some major yard work. It was pretty rainy but we enjoyed having lunch with Grandpa and sharing his birthday cake.<br />Nothing kids seem to like better than playing in the dirt. Nicole was trying to clean out some of her flower beds and the kids thought they would help out. I say encourage that, they will soon enough figure out it is work and not play!<br /><br />My Mom has a swing on her deck and the kids love to swing on it. It is a main attraction, especially when it is a little to cool and wet to play on the grass. I have a swing on my patio, but it doesn't get frequented by the kids nearly as often. I will take swinging with them any time, any place.<br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Grandma Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13400205638963652334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846436072171761947.post-33624154801670522112009-05-18T09:06:00.000-07:002009-05-18T11:02:37.005-07:00At the park with Cameron and Katelyn<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_RFuhBIrCA0X8rFWtWm88k0jgaWYAlvjreK04rj8YqnsqPFYvUp6lwU82qzsbc9IzUjrrnKWOxY5IsLq2ICrcLijbmy0ov5uayNcJowMMdW0q87pICbBdo4qyh56RB0FHCx9qMclp6Kg/s1600-h/kdk_0062.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_RFuhBIrCA0X8rFWtWm88k0jgaWYAlvjreK04rj8YqnsqPFYvUp6lwU82qzsbc9IzUjrrnKWOxY5IsLq2ICrcLijbmy0ov5uayNcJowMMdW0q87pICbBdo4qyh56RB0FHCx9qMclp6Kg/s320/kdk_0062.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOHHwIlE5_cW5IWN1hKad1iD5WwwDVDF39YSpB8jlqBqB2uepLTfgGVwqPJ-8wq2YT9odGOdLNL1d_s_FSW018UCl8bn8xfxa3Fd9ov-wCaUAaBAJObWsiM2wZ5UXEAWUMSlD2mYEWPsY/s1600-h/kdk_0063.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOHHwIlE5_cW5IWN1hKad1iD5WwwDVDF39YSpB8jlqBqB2uepLTfgGVwqPJ-8wq2YT9odGOdLNL1d_s_FSW018UCl8bn8xfxa3Fd9ov-wCaUAaBAJObWsiM2wZ5UXEAWUMSlD2mYEWPsY/s320/kdk_0063.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL4FAqrs03pQDPmAof1kwvVyGilo9NLe3S7uFWq2_IXnBLySBulVAnhej88M0vTi68dkfnlza_1j3_VeGrUTZmctWZ7eJd-jsqKrTcBk4jqo9J1-YRiZp3PdiMdFEst3BbmUGynXUwTu0/s1600-h/kdk_0064.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL4FAqrs03pQDPmAof1kwvVyGilo9NLe3S7uFWq2_IXnBLySBulVAnhej88M0vTi68dkfnlza_1j3_VeGrUTZmctWZ7eJd-jsqKrTcBk4jqo9J1-YRiZp3PdiMdFEst3BbmUGynXUwTu0/s320/kdk_0064.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrX0PYMtDBCplgnjjmXO3GGgkkP0ZDJUsQriC-uYoa5_2xuDHyz5D0HPLS2qoE3ySUO4vwfRUkq14lpZlMyZjYxr5HrKFK-kZysALs3LwOd85E-L4ZP1iF3DC56HTIlYHapAnQ5Po-9wE/s1600-h/kdk_0065.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrX0PYMtDBCplgnjjmXO3GGgkkP0ZDJUsQriC-uYoa5_2xuDHyz5D0HPLS2qoE3ySUO4vwfRUkq14lpZlMyZjYxr5HrKFK-kZysALs3LwOd85E-L4ZP1iF3DC56HTIlYHapAnQ5Po-9wE/s320/kdk_0065.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />These pictures are from about two months ago. It was a nice early spring day and we just could not resist going to Barnes park in Kaysville. The kids loved the ducks but since it was a spur of the moment trip we did not have bread for the ducks. They did not seem to mind, the playground was so fun and Cameron loved being able to just run and explore. I wish I could do this once a week.

Cameron is talking so much and is very good at his actions to get you to understand what he wants. Of course he has the word NO! down really well. We spent the weekend ( Grandma always takes a few extra days) playing, laughing and marveling at how smart they are. Thanks for the great weekend. We just can't get enough and we miss them every day we are part. We love you all!Grandma Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13400205638963652334noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846436072171761947.post-61332513177641969082009-02-18T14:47:00.000-08:002009-02-18T14:56:13.211-08:00Time with my Family is as good as it ever gets!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMpV20-ndXlK82Q3upTxLlLBOFcd5luSv2eIzyOTpZnzLOiGf7StlMhBMWjWShZGtBvMVQaGouHlNFvVZUQQdli2QKETQiRYduPMo0kqv6-pVo9eH-TQaJrvHRcubgkkOFC6XOBdy2pgs/s1600-h/kdk_0038.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMpV20-ndXlK82Q3upTxLlLBOFcd5luSv2eIzyOTpZnzLOiGf7StlMhBMWjWShZGtBvMVQaGouHlNFvVZUQQdli2QKETQiRYduPMo0kqv6-pVo9eH-TQaJrvHRcubgkkOFC6XOBdy2pgs/s320/kdk_0038.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304274747526209122" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPa3u9mR31obzTbJTowrPRKLOs2htdAVjUY80qO2o4YOK00Oqn1tmeuJLSYXhdVO4oerfyrnjEM8xKzT5Js40lVezCTGhroF1G6f-EZbc6GQqwMscb4SxCFvQBUrmEWvpcQYAJFz3ge3M/s1600-h/kdk_0036.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPa3u9mR31obzTbJTowrPRKLOs2htdAVjUY80qO2o4YOK00Oqn1tmeuJLSYXhdVO4oerfyrnjEM8xKzT5Js40lVezCTGhroF1G6f-EZbc6GQqwMscb4SxCFvQBUrmEWvpcQYAJFz3ge3M/s320/kdk_0036.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304274747631762770" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwn_xPDa-yb1GNxXhj81F3k0cNAi6pL97_8P35QMiiUrVJHuEILDQwE9NU4cmm1WbFgHOoDHZBhrGfyX1Pb8u0GQl2weuyEs5-0UQ3OKFZm7kbYRrKmCKYfQle_cJ41evYzAXozdne7d0/s1600-h/kdk_0005.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwn_xPDa-yb1GNxXhj81F3k0cNAi6pL97_8P35QMiiUrVJHuEILDQwE9NU4cmm1WbFgHOoDHZBhrGfyX1Pb8u0GQl2weuyEs5-0UQ3OKFZm7kbYRrKmCKYfQle_cJ41evYzAXozdne7d0/s320/kdk_0005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304274739226570658" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfI6cDb0O7J-YjkQLbG__5Dt1XLnnWQPK_V4TJp7L1kZxbGP9EExaxrDvSl8Ns9CrmdNbasdpf23w1bWk_8uijTa5Z7HSM2OgH7EYW4RdvbHZX3pAbKo21j-UxUY9XS-YMThrnd2LOrSg/s1600-h/kdk_0006.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfI6cDb0O7J-YjkQLbG__5Dt1XLnnWQPK_V4TJp7L1kZxbGP9EExaxrDvSl8Ns9CrmdNbasdpf23w1bWk_8uijTa5Z7HSM2OgH7EYW4RdvbHZX3pAbKo21j-UxUY9XS-YMThrnd2LOrSg/s320/kdk_0006.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304274738538808226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4tti4XEJ3Hxu9uXdaMMAmGbLu4DyQioLpbvi6pjcYU3mIGrkllr1EwPUgcupbab0-zSiOipdgGmDJLB8KaKHuCMsQ2PE79pBWF9hM_j2PeDBPogu6KJd4_rSx8tBsNF9RAog5wkO8f7c/s1600-h/kdk_0009.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4tti4XEJ3Hxu9uXdaMMAmGbLu4DyQioLpbvi6pjcYU3mIGrkllr1EwPUgcupbab0-zSiOipdgGmDJLB8KaKHuCMsQ2PE79pBWF9hM_j2PeDBPogu6KJd4_rSx8tBsNF9RAog5wkO8f7c/s320/kdk_0009.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304274732713894690" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">It seems that the only things I blog about are the great times I have with my family, and to me that is about as good as it ever gets or could be!

Marty and Nicole braved the long drive twice in a month and it was not always a fun adventure but it was so nice to be together. Thanks to all my Children who gave up so much for this family time.

Our lives have not been the same since she was born. She is so sweet and a true blessing to our family.<br />This past weekend we got to celebrate with her family and friends. A special princess party was planned and her Mom did a beautiful job! The decorations were so cute and her cake, hand made by Mom was no less than professional looking. I have never seen so many different kinds of princess dolls and toys. The kids at her party all dressed as princesses or knights and they were all so cute. They made crowns and shields with fun decorations, played pin the kiss on the frog, searched for the kings lost gold coins, and a bean bag toss into a castle. One of the highlights was the slaying of the dragon, even though he was hard to break, with a little help from Dad, all the candy fell out to the delight of all. At the end of the day Katelyn had to try on all the dress up costumes we gave her and then she just kept adding to it. When that happens you get a princess dress, jewelry, new snow boots and a warm up jacket, a look only a true princess can pull off.<br /><br />Cameron could not be left out of the special day. He looked for gold coins in his dragon costume and even made his own shield. Of course the best part was all the goodies!<br /><br />Thanks for letting us be part of your special day. You are more than a princess to us. We love you!

She has blessed my life every day since. We have been a team, and best friends all her life. she is turning 27 this year and I thought I would list the 27 things I love about her!<br /><br />1. Her Smile, it just makes you happy.<br /><br />2. Her sense of humor, she really comes up with some funny things to say.<br /><br />3. Her honesty. She will always tell you the truth.<br /><br />4. Her great taste in decorating, her house is adorable.<br /><br />5. Her love of teaching. She has a teaching degree of which I am most proud. She uses that talent to substitute teach, and she has great reputation for being one of the best!<br /><br />6. Her choice in a husband. She brought George into our lives and he is one of our own now. Our family is forever blessed . So many things we could not do without him.<br /><br />7. Watching Jill and George be happy together. They are best friends, and I love to watch them love each other. They are great examples to me.<br /><br />8. Her ability to make a decision and stick with it! She always trusts herself, rarely second guesses herself. This made planning a wedding a wonderful experience.<br /><br />9. Her love a reading. She always has a book she is reading and she inspires me to try to read more, a daunting task.<br /><br />10. She is great cook. I wasn't sure when she left home if she would eat, but out of necessity she has become a wonderful cook. I love to eat anything she cooks!<br /><br />11. Her love for the same kind of shows and movies as me. I miss watching "Gilmore Girls" with her and singing the opening song together. Thanks George for putting up with that, you never bolted from the room when we sang, you are a strong Man.<br /><br />12. Her Creativity. We have had a lot of fun trying to create things. They eventually turn out, even though we have to go back to the store at least twice for supplies. I love to do projects with her.<br /><br />13. She is not a chocoholic. I really admire that in her. As a child she really didn't get into chocolate and I never pushed her to, I wish I could be more like that!<br /><br />14. She loves Dr. Pepper too!<br /><br />15. She is organized. Heaven knows she has tried to help me be better organized, some of it has rubbed off, although not enough.<br /><br />16. She loves a Broadway play. One of my favorite memories is going to see Les Mes with her in New York. We both love that play so much we went to see it again in Colorado.<br /><br />17. She is a good listener. I can bounce most anything off of her and she always helps me make sense of things.<br /><br />18. Her dedication to her church callings. Even as a young women, she always did her part and more, and did it very well. This makes those who work with her love her for her hard work and dependability. She is an excellent Young Women secretary.<br /><br />19. She is a great housekeeper! I have never seen her house dirty. She take such pride in her home and it is always clean.<br /><br />20. She loves to eat out. She is always fun to go to lunch with, and we try to do it often. We don't really care where we go, it is just fun to us.<br /><br />21. Her love to travel. She loves to see new places. She loves to really see a place when she is there . She went to Italy and France with George and one day I would love to go to Italy with them.<br /><br />22. She loves living in Colorado and for that I am grateful. Having her five minutes away makes my life rich and full.<br /><br />23. Her love for children. She is wonderful with them. It is a big part of who she is and one day she will make the best Mother ever!<br /><br />24. She appreciates her blessings. She recognizes the things she is blessed with and lives to receive all the blessings she should have.<br /><br />25. Her love for animals. She has had many interesting pets over the years, like a fog when she lived in the dorms at school. And Jack her very large dog who dug holes in the back yard and everyday she would fill them in so her Dad would not get mad. And now Milo.<br /><br />26. Her testimony of the Gospel. Her dedication to reading the scriptures and following the Prophet. There is much to be admired there.<br /><br />27 AND FINALLY, BECAUSE SHE IS JILL! MY ONLY DAUGHTER, MY BEST FRIEND AND A PERSON I WOULD MOST LIKE TO BE LIKE. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I LOVE YOU<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ;

This was not an activity I loved at all. I could not stand to make cookies, I just did not have a patience for it at all. Come to think of it, I didn't have a lot of patience for lots of the things I had to do as a child. We would make cakes and cookies to store in the freezer, so we would have them for the coming week. No store bought goodies for us! I think I volunteered for the cakes most of the time because I really hated dropping the cookies on the baking sheet, it just took to much time. My Mothers love for baking must have rubbed off on me and I spent many hours making the same treats for my kids, but it was still work. Now that I am a Grandma, one a my very favorite activities is baking with Katelyn, and now Cameron. I made an apron for Katelyn and we have been sharing this fun activity since she was old enough to stand on a stool and help. Now little Cameron wants in on the act. He is not really into the measuring and spinning the bowl like Katelyn, but he none the less loves squeezing up on the stool and being part of the whole thing. I guess his official duty at this point is the taster. He loves the whip cream and the frosting. He can't say a lot of words but you definitely know when he needs a reload on the frosting. Cooking with Katelyn is just a joy. She loves to count the cups of sugar and flour and dump all the ingredients in the bowl (she does an excellent job too). The best part is when she shows Daddy the cake we made and loves the big smile on his face. Daddy loves his cake!<br /><br />I am not sure how to describe what happens to you when you become a grandparent, some kind of transformation happens. The things you were just to busy to enjoy, now bring you so much joy. I love to watch them play, grow and change. I love to watch my children be parents, and see them do so much better job than I ever did. Whatever it is, you just cant beat having them all on your lap. As Grandpa Glade said, "it just doesn't get any better than this" and I have to agree.<br /></span>Grandma Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13400205638963652334noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846436072171761947.post-88051118071599839472008-07-30T15:29:00.000-07:002008-12-10T08:27:41.053-08:00Kicking back for the summer!<span style="font-family:georgia;">This has been a great summer. Being home and not working has allowed me to spend so much time with my family, I love it!'<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago I headed off to Utah for a couple of days. My intent was to help Nicole out with the kids so she could get some packing done, but it turns out she really had what she could do at that point done, so it ended up being a fun two day retreat. Cameron is starting to walk and I found a pair of cute flip flops that actually fit him. He could even walk OK in them. He did not seem to mind them, but all to quickly they would twist off, but it made for a cute look anyway!</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwX1S_ONFDRUmrdst76_yZDIsffI22sSWhym6ZpjdgM99zfPGu69JMpbVShqmSVUwXyhq9vWrKwNc4gl3RUthMVTXnIkhIF-o-OUDjFF7DdOMQjJmkmyJqvtotECHauPimAZGkNWggKWg/s1600-h/Katelyn'st+tuu+and+kitchen+hangings+010.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwX1S_ONFDRUmrdst76_yZDIsffI22sSWhym6ZpjdgM99zfPGu69JMpbVShqmSVUwXyhq9vWrKwNc4gl3RUthMVTXnIkhIF-o-OUDjFF7DdOMQjJmkmyJqvtotECHauPimAZGkNWggKWg/s200/Katelyn'st+tuu+and+kitchen+hangings+010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228942827208384258" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJYaADolPJE44c6yALVfn0WrIn3dtZ23PzQDpS_E2ExaBWen98_5G7gIps5iCSFrz_-JHytqaDyoqmgXlLo6pRE9GJcN0CXIG4_a6qXw7FqwbBf_758yxuCZk0HnuCKKtw_snows61vs4/s1600-h/Katelyn'st+tuu+and+kitchen+hangings+002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJYaADolPJE44c6yALVfn0WrIn3dtZ23PzQDpS_E2ExaBWen98_5G7gIps5iCSFrz_-JHytqaDyoqmgXlLo6pRE9GJcN0CXIG4_a6qXw7FqwbBf_758yxuCZk0HnuCKKtw_snows61vs4/s200/Katelyn'st+tuu+and+kitchen+hangings+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228942799254814594" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Katelyn wants to start dancing classes this fall to I thought I would try my had at making a tutu.

It was called the "Real Deal". Apparently they have them all over, with tons in Utah. Check it out if you are interested, they have a web site. Anyway we went and looked around. Of course we find the clearance table and get our best finds. Jill got a cute iron shelf for her family room, and I found some cute hangings to dress up my new kitchen. It needed some personality.

Most of our holidays even after we moved here were spent with family and friends in Utah. I guess that makes this year very special and different. Jill invited Marty and family to come spend it with us, and to our great happiness they made the long ride and made our weekend so much fun.<br />It was so much fun just hanging out and playing with the kids. Grandpa even got into the fun using toys to make him look like Shrek! Cameron loves dogs! He really loves Milo. He is not afraid of them in the least. Milo was is really great with kids, and a pretty good sport with Cam's not so soft pats and being chased around the room. Nothing quite as cute as a little guy and a dog. Katelyn loves him too, and calls him her best friend Milo!<br /><br />We promised it would be a fun filled weekend, so when Marty and Nicole slept in we decided to take to kids to a neighborhood parade. Seemed like a good idea to walk, because we did not want to wake them for the car keys so we could use the car seats. It would have been a good idea if it had not been about 94 degrees! We missed most of the parade but managed to arrive in time to spend a bit of time with family friends, and have a refreshing Popsicle. Later that day we enjoyed a great lunch, thanks to George and his great grilling skills, even though it was to hot to be outside, it was still fun. Of course the day was polished off with a great fireworks display. I love sitting on the lawn and watching them, even better when the whole family is together. A little slice of heaven!<br /><br />Thanks to Marty and Nicole and kids for making the long trip, that had to be not too much fun. Tyler for making the effort to jump on a plane and share the day with us. Jill and George for pulling it all together and helping with food and fun, and Grandpa Glade for sharing all the fun with us this year.<br /><br />Even though events like these are far to few, having all the family together makes me a very happy Mom and Grandma. I love all the mess, cooking, playing, snuggling and kisses.

I always leave early, but Grandpa Glade joins us as soon as possible. This summer I took advantage of the time I am not working and had some great play days with them. My Mom and I decided to take the kids to the park in Kaysville, it has ducks the kids could feed. Katelyn was happy that they had a fence to keep the ducks from getting too close to her, and she was pretty good at throwing the bread over it. Cameron was really checking them out, but remained safe in my arms. Katelyn loved to play on the playground, and I was thankful that my nephew Corey was there to help out. It is not so easy to play and hold a little guy at the same time. Cameron did enjoy the slide, but would really rather just crawl, not such a easy thing at a playground!<br /><br />Later in the week Grandpa came to town. I loved the pictures of the games they played. Katelyn loves to use my camera to take pictures, so she got Grandpa to to play "funny faces" with her. The two of them are pretty good at it.<br />Grandpa got Katelyn to lay by him and they looked for shapes in ceiling. Not a game I would think of, but she loved it and Grandpa got some cuddle time out of it.<br /><br />It was Nicole's birthday on Friday, and since we were at Lindsey's wedding, we celebrated on Saturday. We had a nice picnic at the splash park and playing with the kids in the water was pretty fun. It was a good one for Grandmas because they always splashed in the same places making it easier to keep from getting soaked. It was so hot, that I really did not mind getting wet when Cameron and I played in the water. There is still a bit of a kid on all Grandmas!<br />Thanks Nicole and Marty for letting me hang with you for a week, I sure do love your children!<br /></span>Grandma Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13400205638963652334noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846436072171761947.post-41222642209888533362008-07-01T11:25:00.000-07:002008-12-10T08:27:45.697-08:00Time has sure passed, so here goes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMd-B9pT_kgDXVMUYrN7O1qq1XrcPJN3TCAJnOO1rKFyhYERXJRIHKe6E3PYVOwjWsWpFXE_i32bks7J02wIIw5y8sfHbJOM2Lsib4Plt77Vg28KZaFV9bYja4UyrzzTVtXh3kooUn-Ns/s1600-h/Tyler+24th+birthday+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMd-B9pT_kgDXVMUYrN7O1qq1XrcPJN3TCAJnOO1rKFyhYERXJRIHKe6E3PYVOwjWsWpFXE_i32bks7J02wIIw5y8sfHbJOM2Lsib4Plt77Vg28KZaFV9bYja4UyrzzTVtXh3kooUn-Ns/s200/Tyler+24th+birthday+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218116390089131954" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizdMuCS6jyOGX-74rJ5vNzdMyh20w0RAJdLnq0dRdk1X0qg9vpUvuLkJj3RM4mdZPngjntQw2jIM23meddURMtqNqJ2OHdeMNMwi6aYjpdfnw12t3zHP8s-zLhcHcOgZf7pvsYQGPW8s/s1600-h/Tyler+24th+birthday+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizdMuCS6jyOGX-74rJ5vNzdMyh20w0RAJdLnq0dRdk1X0qg9vpUvuLkJj3RM4mdZPngjntQw2jIM23meddURMtqNqJ2OHdeMNMwi6aYjpdfnw12t3zHP8s-zLhcHcOgZf7pvsYQGPW8s/s200/Tyler+24th+birthday+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218115887265272978" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">It has been so long since I have blogged that I fear I can't remember what I am doing.<br />Last weekend we had a family celebration of Glade and Tyler's birthday. Tyler flew in for the the big day.<br />I still am not sure what I was thinking when the Doctor offered to start me in labor on Glade's birthday. Seemed like a good thing then, but you should never ask a nine month pregnant woman a question like that, she would always take you up on it. Over the years is has calmed down a bit, and now I just find myself making two cakes because Glade can't eat wheat products, and the rest of us don't care for "non gluten" cake. Now I am left finishing the last of the chocolate cake and Glade is working on finishing his.

It started early with Cameron's blessing. I got to go to Utah early to spend time with Katelyn and Cameron. It was a beautiful fall morning and Katelyn and I decided to take advantage of the sunshine and spend some time outside. After a short ride on her tricycle we found ourselves at a great park not far from her house. We had the whole place to ourselves. We had a great time swinging and climbing, I did pretty well for a Grandma. The playground had a great princess ( or prince if needed) tower and I got a cute picture of Katelyn looking over her kingdom. I was the only one in it, but that didn't matter. It went pretty well until I talked her into going down the spiral slide with me. It was great and we squealed and laughed until we hit the bottom and I was sitting in a puddle of water. Now just because your bottom is wet is not reason for a two year old to go home, so I just tied my jacket around my waist and played on. It was not very comfortable but the time with her was precious and I loved every minute of it.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ3yXO2gBM1pg-RNtK3TQI12jevlTWPsw1i65o6hyphenhyphen_ve_c0o3aN20e0FhYUWpl-MPKEsOv1eoYjDi3KIbEEyV8uVln6DqzgTJM0lcMQLARyswZ5bj5n1eKrIY-LuB4afbgvP-hFbKHQiI/s1600-h/Grandma+day+Nov+07+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ3yXO2gBM1pg-RNtK3TQI12jevlTWPsw1i65o6hyphenhyphen_ve_c0o3aN20e0FhYUWpl-MPKEsOv1eoYjDi3KIbEEyV8uVln6DqzgTJM0lcMQLARyswZ5bj5n1eKrIY-LuB4afbgvP-hFbKHQiI/s200/Grandma+day+Nov+07+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137727369348603186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1gMK4TEdJfyU_NWFHIbLyExUNjrMoR4v262YE5A5RuFMmAzOczanrdJyH5_PtiwpAZ9uZDbtPNedFItf6kg72ha6e9UtHUDOJee9tKeMYygSIU3dAQjcXJZ7oTvDqmBXVBuRcaOz_bmY/s1600-h/Grandma+day+Nov+07+002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1gMK4TEdJfyU_NWFHIbLyExUNjrMoR4v262YE5A5RuFMmAzOczanrdJyH5_PtiwpAZ9uZDbtPNedFItf6kg72ha6e9UtHUDOJee9tKeMYygSIU3dAQjcXJZ7oTvDqmBXVBuRcaOz_bmY/s200/Grandma+day+Nov+07+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137727377938537794" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiw_B4XvHuH3d9ZTm0sB7dTnlPwG5kFA8KZpeenzKx1kiLu89c240ILlUptLYooUV9v2tYweiWggsQKt6c_1NmthXYft2w_rvsp6a__2iJhkXtb8ZQVbXiWIhXYDzo2fFY1VulH08EgBo/s1600-h/Grandma+day+Nov+07+004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiw_B4XvHuH3d9ZTm0sB7dTnlPwG5kFA8KZpeenzKx1kiLu89c240ILlUptLYooUV9v2tYweiWggsQKt6c_1NmthXYft2w_rvsp6a__2iJhkXtb8ZQVbXiWIhXYDzo2fFY1VulH08EgBo/s200/Grandma+day+Nov+07+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137727386528472402" border="0" /></a><br />Later that weekend Marty and Nicole blessed Cameron. Now I know that I am his Grandma, but he is a beautiful baby boy. Each time I spend time with him I fall more head over heels in<br />love. When he smiles he has the cutest dimples. He looked so cute in his little white tux. He was so good during the blessing. He is not all that crazy about being held while you are sitting down, so I guess if you stand and bounce him, he is pretty happy. I am very proud of Marty and Nicole and the great parents they are. They make a pretty cute family. It was fun to have all our family together. The four generation picture with Grandpa Glade, Grandpa Merl and Marty and Cameron is priceless. Aunt Jill and Uncle George made the long trip for the blessing. They are a great Aunt and Uncle and both kids love them tons.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjcFST_34Tduk14PtqT78JasNRgKPHKM0Mk8pDjl6Ncz66iBVjwBvj_jz2_j-NorVyZ7vBBUX9f88n6GVZtl0x_dp_rcGVRJ9sEdn8D3SWyxV8RaZD6g-G-__O0EzNsJxzzho1zFzKe54/s1600-h/Cameron's+blessing+008.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjcFST_34Tduk14PtqT78JasNRgKPHKM0Mk8pDjl6Ncz66iBVjwBvj_jz2_j-NorVyZ7vBBUX9f88n6GVZtl0x_dp_rcGVRJ9sEdn8D3SWyxV8RaZD6g-G-__O0EzNsJxzzho1zFzKe54/s200/Cameron's+blessing+008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137730152487411042" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMxBhKs1YhXlHmPN1DWhrCZPExvkvcXorn2DOrcBpDIPTpQqgpT-IPTIXqvjjX6OD5xFfxMBwD3Zu5phva-tG4OtkcpTma9E7V2kodCkAJmkR6Mxzj_MNtYoBeSKHg2qh3tJPeUiDnxKE/s1600-h/Cameron's+blessing+012.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMxBhKs1YhXlHmPN1DWhrCZPExvkvcXorn2DOrcBpDIPTpQqgpT-IPTIXqvjjX6OD5xFfxMBwD3Zu5phva-tG4OtkcpTma9E7V2kodCkAJmkR6Mxzj_MNtYoBeSKHg2qh3tJPeUiDnxKE/s200/Cameron's+blessing+012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137730161077345650" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2NBd3CtkBtwjQb5_0IJ72ekJpHw4nVygjAdl6U8XyqanWJykFv8nIoX6ejdHaXHgEqZSt2GtnStsCUKKlaU1y7Vp6FJsVa-A7Lq9SK6s1DEDmAPp4EzW20dY4z540DRbVPQwdvvCKhf0/s1600-h/Cameron's+blessing+014.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2NBd3CtkBtwjQb5_0IJ72ekJpHw4nVygjAdl6U8XyqanWJykFv8nIoX6ejdHaXHgEqZSt2GtnStsCUKKlaU1y7Vp6FJsVa-A7Lq9SK6s1DEDmAPp4EzW20dY4z540DRbVPQwdvvCKhf0/s200/Cameron's+blessing+014.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137730165372312962" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I just got home on Sunday from going to the big three year old birthday. Katelyn's actual birthday was on Thanksgiving, but we celebrated it on Wednesday. Glade and I got the day off and ran to the airport on Tuesday evening to try to get a standby flight to Salt Lake City. Luckily we both made it even it even if we had to take two different flights. Katelyn was so excited for her party. Nicole worked so hard to make it special. I don't think I ever did a party that fancy , ever! It was done in a Candy land theme and it was darling. I can't say exactly how many hours Nicole spent on the big day, but I dare say it took most of her free time for a couple of weeks. The cake was darling, unfortunately Katelyn does not like cake all that well, but she liked the star bursts on the top. She got to decorate gingerbread cookies, play games and open a lot of gifts. She loved it all. One Thursday morning I gave her our gift. It was a "Lucky dog" and he is animated and can do tricks on command. She really loves that dog. I think she really thinks he is real and loves to talk to him and play with him, and put him to bed on his own dog pillow. Needles to say I loved watching her play with him. She is so much fun! I know years from now she will not remember this day, but I am sure I will remember it for a long time!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6LJ75FEslrKPY8nu3gWFmF2XxTsv5ciUleY0N7HXd2WwYC8rEKQXVco16WsIwSiJE4fDufLfB_ilwRy8XEfoFmte-YyG56Fz50porb91HtnFgPdmIpuuVDYfSXqNhbpWMSbW0EtG2omE/s1600-h/Katelyn's+3rd+birthday+026.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I love to see the world change to all the beautiful colors. I am definitely not in love with the dead look of winter. Snow sometimes comes slowly to Denver (I know you don't believe that, but most of the snow is in the mountains.) Last year when it did arrive it came with a vengeance and we really thought we would never see our road again. We literally got snowed in twice. Hence my need to hold winter off as long as possible.<br /><br />Last weekend our long time great friends called and invited us for a wonderful day driving through the mountain passes to see the changing leaves. I love the mountains, and still after 15 years miss being so close to them. We had a great day! It was so nice to just get away. We laughed a lot and really enjoyed our time together. There is something to be said about long time friends. When you watch your families grow up and share a lot of good times it just makes for special friends.<br /><br />Here are some pictures of the beautiful scenery.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5SMY8tUZAOulT5BFH6ir54v8td5kIXnDOUk9XcKMAH2hQHH6KF6FYjFFGeas_csgZydkQ2xqxZegQuRQj9b27SVsGp_8R-K4hYop9wFdBdd92l_vIcSlMk86XbITbDofJkO40cVR4ofA/s1600-h/fall+leaves+004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I have th</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">is gigantic wall in my kitchen that I have never liked in the 15 years I have lived here. My family in Utah got us hooked on a new store called Ti Pan and also Rodworks, and it has been a work in progress. I don't have my own designer so I have to do the best I can. I found the shelves and Jill gave me the iron work for Mothers day. Then next time I was in Utah I found the sign that I fel</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">l in love with. Jill helped me print off some pictures from my Grandpa Kershaw's farm that I just love. We put in all together and I have a fun wall that is personal to me an</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">d that I just love. I really love having my daughter living so close and we have fun trying to make our </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">creative vision for our homes a reality. It has </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">been fun so I thought I would share it with you.<br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">A few weeks ago Glade and I went to U</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">tah to get our monthly grandparent fix</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">. We knew it would be the last visit before little Cameron will be here. We have enjoyed every minute of Katelyn's life. She has brought so much joy that we can not even express. She is definitely the center of our Universe. The picture is her at the breakfast table. I love waking up to her smile in the morning. She is ha</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">ving her favorite breakfast of cocoa puffs and chocolate milk. What kid would not love that. She sure has her Daddy's love of chocolate ( Grandma's too). I will be leaving on Thursday or Friday to go and help with Cameron, unless he </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">makes and early appearance, at which I will get there as fast as a plane can get me there. I look forward to the entire event. It is not often that the mother-in -law gets to be the helper and I look at it as a once in a lifetime event for me. I love Nicole very much, but I realize I am not her Mom and I </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">am sure she would rather have her there. Any girl would, but I will do my very best to be good stand in. I can't wait to be a Grandma again! Look next week for pictures of the big event!<br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1Hw3LaISATm2cbodANI5OxRWbD4vK8qEnyEmeZTwf1YhkOWM1319qZBH1_k8VtZNzRJidt-lwHs884tO8O7JZOHE23f0TbB0kQVF1mdmPkJlCH-GOB4ttlQpgWXSn8aDggybZctU9x0/s1600-h/breakfast+with+katelyn+002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1Hw3LaISATm2cbodANI5OxRWbD4vK8qEnyEmeZTwf1YhkOWM1319qZBH1_k8VtZNzRJidt-lwHs884tO8O7JZOHE23f0TbB0kQVF1mdmPkJlCH-GOB4ttlQpgWXSn8aDggybZctU9x0/s320/breakfast+with+katelyn+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098005161550890514" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA38Xh-CXOVuQT11JYdib48HlARamTPfYXU1R_XYaPLKPywNowOKn67IijDMpCxya0OIqIou_Xd-zgpmwxhbjDS0oHgwfxnpqyU5l3Axh0hanL2aIB9ZwrOCWI0c-ncBgq84XkNrdqom4/s1600-h/breakfast+with+katelyn+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA38Xh-CXOVuQT11JYdib48HlARamTPfYXU1R_XYaPLKPywNowOKn67IijDMpCxya0OIqIou_Xd-zgpmwxhbjDS0oHgwfxnpqyU5l3Axh0hanL2aIB9ZwrOCWI0c-ncBgq84XkNrdqom4/s320/breakfast+with+katelyn+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098005148665988610" border="0" /></a>Grandma Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13400205638963652334noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846436072171761947.post-56109331671969142022007-07-15T19:14:00.001-07:002008-12-10T08:27:53.784-08:00Baking with Grandma<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwovxsXYwxzUBWZOc2a60y9YEb58R9YuH0AsuFaT8hRDs1eQmHp56SG8TsoKYi-jT2yh5ZcgQr-ob9kgw1v_-uz_FS9bHJbyiczwaVznc4oZrCMJRKQKJgT1S4Dtwy2lmo9cicrs99DPM/s1600-h/baking+with+katelyn.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwovxsXYwxzUBWZOc2a60y9YEb58R9YuH0AsuFaT8hRDs1eQmHp56SG8TsoKYi-jT2yh5ZcgQr-ob9kgw1v_-uz_FS9bHJbyiczwaVznc4oZrCMJRKQKJgT1S4Dtwy2lmo9cicrs99DPM/s320/baking+with+katelyn.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5087615522245456450" border="0" /></a><br />It has been a while since I sat down and entered anything in my blog. I need to make it more of a habit.<br />I got a chance to make a quick trip to Utah on the 5<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> of July. It seems I go there a lot more now that Katelyn is living there. I have to admit that I need a Grandma fix at least once a month if not more often. One thing we love to do together is bake. Marty is always up for a whip cream cake and it is so much fun to do together. She love to help me dump the ingredients in after I measure them and help me count. This time she particularly loved to spin the mixing bowl. For some reason the dust cloud that comes after putting in the dry ingredients made her laugh <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">hysterically</span> and we just had a blast. She loved running to tell Daddy that is cake was all done. As for me it is just a bit of heaven just spending time with her. As you can see from the pictures she can make quite a mess. Nicole is a good sport with all our mess. She is a wonderful daughter in law to let me take over and make such a mess!Grandma Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13400205638963652334noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846436072171761947.post-76901425848683949862007-06-28T19:34:00.000-07:002008-12-10T08:27:54.244-08:00Tyler's 23rd birthday!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIE7CaYDWUxk_N1gqIlx8DFYYHm4t_1T7-tUSAwhV2VcODFUdzg29T50FcGZlzdV0vuRUZ8vpaZC12SIOkoNpWePfFQ8kHJl0-TYVdnU9kk6TzeFaWiTUBvcdlK9mw2wh6aZdjGMS-n8/s1600-h/Utah+zoo+trip+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIE7CaYDWUxk_N1gqIlx8DFYYHm4t_1T7-tUSAwhV2VcODFUdzg29T50FcGZlzdV0vuRUZ8vpaZC12SIOkoNpWePfFQ8kHJl0-TYVdnU9kk6TzeFaWiTUBvcdlK9mw2wh6aZdjGMS-n8/s320/Utah+zoo+trip+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5081309549099672450" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">Tomorrow is another special day in our family. I can hardly believe that my baby is 23! Everyone would agree with me that he is the most fun to be with. He is always keeping us laughing. It has been almost two years since he returned home from his mission in Brazil. That time sure went slower than the last two. I don't have him around all the time but I sure enjoy the time I get. Cell phones make it easier. Tyler is living in Utah and working for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Skywest</span> Airlines. A job he loves ( most of the time). His love for travel is only matched by his Father's love of travel. The two of them have been on lots of trips to see the world. I have not always been with them,but it is fun to see them both enjoy the same things together. He also makes it possible for me to travel to see my family. That makes him a wonderful Son. I can be a real part of Katelyn's life because of him, a pretty wonderful gift. He is also so difficult to buy for. I just want to say Happy Birthday! Thanks for all the years of friendship, great laughs, and every day making me proud of the person you are. I hope I get to spend the day with you and share a piece of birthday cake! I love it when I can spoil you just a bit!</span>Grandma Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13400205638963652334noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846436072171761947.post-24039236136224484202007-06-28T18:47:00.000-07:002008-12-10T08:27:54.492-08:00A special Day at Seseme Street Live!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUIu0PaXwmnOrn-yuhonENQQSo763QLO_ZUAqOBNWF9BilMHymi-0IhBAjNy2xsZOd7qjVcmhkUPsD3jvA-qvIuiopJbcwk4teO4VumLI9IntpR19gmm2Yf8HEhJ_3kf_J1suL1pLgIS4/s1600-h/Sesame+street+live,+Tulsa+visit+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUIu0PaXwmnOrn-yuhonENQQSo763QLO_ZUAqOBNWF9BilMHymi-0IhBAjNy2xsZOd7qjVcmhkUPsD3jvA-qvIuiopJbcwk4teO4VumLI9IntpR19gmm2Yf8HEhJ_3kf_J1suL1pLgIS4/s320/Sesame+street+live,+Tulsa+visit+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5081298171731305330" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I have decided to give this blogging a try. I really enjoy keeping up with family this way, so I have think I will join up!<br /><br />I have been thinking about how rich my family makes me feel. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Wether</span> we are having a good day or one that really tries your patience it is good to have people in your life that make it all worth it.<br />As of late we have experienced our aches and pains, things I thought we would only have to deal with when we were much older. I don't think they are the kind that will be with us for forever, but it is a glimpse of what our later years could be like. The one thing that I now realize is it is so wonderful to think you have someone who has been through it all with you and will get you through the aging years. Glade has been in pain with his back now for about a month. It is really old for me and I know it is more than old for him. I have tied his </span></span><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-family: arial;">shoes<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"></span></span></span><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-family: arial;">, picked up things, and doing just about everything he can't do for himself. It is not always <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">glamorous</span>! I think that is why God put us together, just to be there for each other. I know my day will come. Good to know he will be there for me as well. Tomorrow is his 53rd birthday and I can never come up with a good present. So I just want to say how much I love him. You really are the love of my life. You always make me laugh. My life is a lot of fun with you.You are a great Husband, Father, and Grandfather. Happy Birthday!<br /></span></span>Grandma Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13400205638963652334noreply@blogger.com2
