Happy Birthday Grandma

Today is my Grandma's Birthday and I miss her so very much. She was born on March 27, 1922 and passed away on February 16, 2005. There are so many wonderful things to say about this woman. I remember her house in Whittier, California and just how neat and tidy she was. My grandparents had a patio built on to the garage and that was where Sunday dinners were. She made the best Sunday dinners with all of the trimmings. I loved taking the drive each week to go there. I also remember catching frogs around the house. They had these plants that frogs would live under. We would always catch as many as we could. We'd slip and slide in the back yard during the summer and watch Christmas movies in the patio eating nuts that we'd get to crack open ourselves. My grandparents worked at the church cleaning the building and making sure it was always looking spotless. I'd get to go and help sometimes and I just loved to be there with her. My Grandma always stayed strong and always stood firm in her ways. I always knew I could count on her, and even through some ups and downs in my horrible teenage years she was always there for me. I loved trips to Arizona and eventually took Lindsay with me for visits. I have great memories and photos that are priceless. 

I wanted to take the time today to thank my Heavenly Father for giving me such an amazing gift of a Grandmother who was truly an Elect Lady. I love her so and miss her every single day. 

Lindsay went to Sadies

Lindsay had Sadies this weekend.  The theme was something like racing through time, so she went total neon and had a blast. Lindsay core group of 4 girlfriends (Ashley, Amanda, Shannon, and Lindsay) finally all went in the same group after 4 years of school dances.  I should mention Lindsay's now dating a guy named Cody. Lindsay and Cody have known each other all of high school. She had a crush on him her freshman year, but they've always just kinda been friends. So when they decided to try this dating thing last month after her and her ex broke up she was a bit hesitant for the simple fact that she didn't want things to get all weird. Needless to say she's been soooo happy and enjoying her life on a daily basis once again. I've always liked Cody and thought those 2 should date (but I'm just the mom, right?)

update

Not a whole lot going on with us. I thought I'd just post a few pics just so you knew we were still here. Beckham has a new favorite toy he likes to hold and eat. His lil' giraffe that hangs from a floor mat toy. He's adopted him and loves loves loves him.

Beckham is still as fluffy as ever. He's begun to grab at things, loves to look at himself  in the mirror and try to touch his friend in the mirror, he's ALMOST rolling over, eating like a champ, and trying so hard to let you know what he's thinking. His hands are still in his mouth NON STOP!

My girlfriend brought him over a lil' horse rocker. He sat on it with some help. It won't be long until he's rockin' it himself.

I did mention he's still fluffy right ?  Case in Point

As a mom I LOVE HIS ROLLS ! 

And here's Ms. Lindsay with her lil' Brother

Lindsay has applied to 5 colleges. 

We've heard back from 3 of them that she's been accepted. The 3 we've heard back from are  
WEBER UNIVERSITY,  UTAH STATE and UTAH VALLEY UNIVERSITY.

We're still waiting to hear back from ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY and UNIVERSITY OF UTAH.

She's keeping her fingers crossed for Uof U. It shouldn't be much longer before we hear back from the last 2. 3 out of 5 so far isn't to bad!
