Valentine's Eve at Grandma's...

Beautiful tulips from Christopher 

It was so fun to see Grey and Grahm walking out of school with their Valentine boxes.


Grey's monster Valentine box is eating all his cards!



Grey and Grahm took all their Valentine's out one by one and enjoyed seeing what their friends gave them.

Grey got an extra special Valentine from Mya. When I pick up the boys I always wait on the grass in front of the school. Several times when I'm talking to the boys Mya will walk by, and she always says sweetly, "Hi Grey." Mya is very pretty!



Grey likes his Valentine levitor.



We a good time playing a few Valentine Minute to Win it games.

Chocolate Kiss pass using straws, it got a little slobbery!


Be Mine Toss using candy conversation hearts.



Heart Attack - Grey and Grahm took turns sticking paper hearts all over Grandpa and each other, then they had a minute to pull them off. I should have cut out a lot more hearts because the boys were really fast! 






Strawberry shortcake for dessert with lots of whipped cream!

Grahm had fun with the wrist walkie talkies.






Foosball is still popular!


I'm always so thankful Grey and Grahm feel safe and sleep good at Grandma's.



Winter has been so mild so in the morning we played outside. I got this green jeep for Grey several years ago and he still likes driving it around. I asked him if he wanted to take it home and he said he wants to leave it at Grandma's because that what makes is special.  



Grahm did so good setting up for croquet.


Bubbles in February!



Valentines Day has come and gone but I still feel so thankful for the privilege of being Grandma, and for the opportunity of loving these boys the best I can.

Beautiful hydrangeas from Mark, Tiff, and the grands.

Across the ocean...

 

Still across the ocean building his career with determination. I'm always proud of Christopher's work ethic, ability of connect with people, and willingness to step out of his comfort zone. The miles between us seem long sometimes and I miss him. Hopefully I'll see him again in about six months!

Spiritual Stamina...

It is my testimony that we are facing difficult times. We must be courageously obedient. My witness is that we will be called upon to prove our spiritual stamina, for the days ahead will be filled with affliction and difficulty.

But with the assuring comfort of a personal relationship with God, we will be given a calming courage. From the Divine so near we will receive the quiet assurance:

"My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;" 

"That We Might Know Thee," | President James E. Faust

My grandsons...


The light in my days
The sparkle in my smile


 Grahm likes this TMNT jacket I got him!



The Navajo tacos were a big hit.


Gourmet hot chocolate!







Roll a snowman was a lot of fun!




Some handsome teenager got his learner's permit and Grandpa has been teaching Cash how to drive a stick shift!





Grey's frist time to do baptisms for the dead.




Always grateful for Grandma Days and this crazy warm winter weather. But I'm praying for rain or snow.


























Grahm giving his Mom the best hug!
