Happy Birthday Sweet Grandma!

 101 Years Old

This is my mom and me when I was about five years old.  When she came to live with us after my dad died,  having two Grandma's in the house was kind of confusing so we talked with Perry about what we could call her.  He decided we should call her "sweet grandma" and that was actually a beautiful description of her.  She was always kind and even when dementia took her memories away she never lost that kindness.  She loved Dr. Pepper, mexican food, and her grandkids and great grandkids. 

Fresno Zoo

Caleb and Uncle Andy enjoyed a day at the zoo!

Lexy

This weekend Lexy and a friend traveled to Denver to present at an academic conference on Friday and Saturday.  She said it was a success!  Would any of us expect any less?!

Happy Birthday Eden!

12 Years Old

Ice Skating!

Since it's freezing outside these two decided to go where they could warm up!  I know...it makes no sense, but the girls gotta do what they gotta do!

Peter

Aunt Becky sent me these pictures of Peter.  She said, "The fun part of having a percussionist in the family is keeping track of what instrument they are playing for each piece."  She said they went to a jazz night at the other high school but Peter's school was invited to play too.  His jazz group played four songs and Peter played in three of them.  This time he played the vibraphone for the first piece, the tambourine for the second and on the drum kit for the final song they played.  Aunt Becky said they sounded really good!

Eden

On Wednesday morning Eden left for Science Camp with other students at her school.  It seems to have been a great trip in spite of the cold.  This morning when they woke up there was snow on the ground.  A great ending to her final year in grade school.
