Cousins from Mexico

Diane and her family came to town to go to a Zrii meeeting with Bill Farley. It was fun to meet her family. We went out to eat Saturday night and then went back to Christopher's and Bailey's to visit. Joshua and Meagan came over too. Christopher went to Mexico now and is having meetings there. He deserves to make it big in Zrii. He is working so hard! Check out Bailey's post on her blog. I loved it! Thanks Bailey for being so supportive to your husband. You are the best wife he could ever have.

Happy Birthday Christopher!!!

Christopher and his family.


Christopher on his blessing day.
Today is Christopher's 28th birthday. I can't believe how fast the years have really gone. He'll be going to a Spanish Zrii meeting tonight so we'll have to celebrate his birthday this weekend! Diane (Longhurst) is down with her family to go to the Zrii meeting with him. Zrii is starting in Mexico and is a great opprtunity for everyone. Anyway, Christopher, I hope you have a great day. I'm glad that you are our son and we love you very much. You are such a hard worker and I know you will be successful!

Here I go again.

I sure haven't been good about blogging lately. So I'm going to try to catch up a little.

A Long time!!!

Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted. I've been so busy with going back to work and trying to get our Zrii business going. I never posted pictures from the Zrii Launch and my visit to Utah in May and then when I went back in July. My laptop isn't hooked up right now and all my pictures are on that. I need a new router(sp). I better get better organized because this is like my journal now a days. I still get on and read everyone elses blog though.

I went to see a movie Thursday night with Connie and Katie. It was called "The Women". It was pretty good. The ending was the best! Connie is down for a few days while Homer is out of town. We had gone out to eat on Wednesday night with our mom too. I'm glad I've got to visit with Connie while she is here. I'm going to try to get pictures off of this P.C. of Ron's. I know I downloaded some but I don't know if they are the ones I would like to post. You'll find out later!

For my Grandsons! I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

Happy Fathers's Day

Just a note to say Happy Father's Day to all of you fathers out there. My father past away 6 years ago in May. Oh how I miss my sweet daddy! He was so loving and kind. Everyone used to call him Smiley because he always had a smile on his face. All of his girls, his grandchildren and our mom love him and miss him. We know he is busy doing the Lord's work and we know we will be with him someday. Ron's dad passed away about 19 years ago. He was such a fun man too. I remember all the kids wrote him notes that they put in his casket. He used to sit on the floor all of the time just like Ron does now. Last but not least, there is Ron! He has always been a great dad and has been supportive to all the kids. We've been to tons of basketball games, football games, soccer games, baseball games, cheer, dance recitals and competitions. It was always so much fun. Even when we would get mad at the referees. Time has gone by so fast. Take time now to give your dad a hug! I close my eyes and think of my dad all the time. He was the best back rubber too! I will have to find one of my favorite pictures...He had came over and whenever he saw you he would hug you and start rubbing your shoulders. This one day he did it to me and then Heather walked up and he had his arms around both of us and then Sariah came and he had all three of us in his arms. Anyway, take time for the small things because your going to miss it. Have you heard the song "You're going to miss it?" I think it is Trace Atkins that sings it. It kind of puts things in perspective.
Three more dads to mention...the father's of my sweet grandchildren! Ronnie , Christopher and Heath, you are the best and I appreciate all you do for your children and your spouses. Make the most of the next few years, they go by way to fast and then your children are gone from your home. Take time to just enjoy each moment!

Home again!

I thought I should finally write something down. I got home from Utah on the 28th of May. The Zrii Launch was awesome. I learned so much and I am such a believer in this product! We had a lot of fun. It was fun to be around my friend Patty again. We went to Jr. High and High school together. She was my maid of honor and I was in her wedding line. She is gong ho on Zrii too. Eileen and Gerald and their boys were there and we all enjoyed the time we had together. I am so proud of Christopher and how hard he is working. He has worked and helped so many others in starting their own businesses. Jason too. They will be blessed for it. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with Heather, Heath, and my grandchildren. We had a lot of fun and made more memories together. My favorite is the talks at night with them and sharing our feelings. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Ron has been down with his back. He has some bulging discs which is pinching the sciatic nerve and causes a lot of pain. We've been going to chiropractors, massage therapists, and doing physical therapy. I think he is better but it will take time for it to be completely better. Anyway, it's been hectic since I've been home. My biggest disappointment was not getting to go to San Diego like we do every year. Ronnie's family has been there all week and Ron's brothers family. Christopher and Bailey left tonight for a few days too. Ron just can't drive that far. So...what can I say! Keep him in your prayers! Thanks!

Utah, Heather's family and ZRII!

It has been a while since I've blogged. I'm ready for school to be out this week. I leave Wednesday for Utah. I can't wait to see Heather, Heath, and the kids. I'll stay with them Wednesday and then Thursday through Saturday I'll be at a Zrii Launch Conference with Christopher, Eileen, her husband and boys, and my friend Patty. We'll have three days of motivational speakers and learning. It is a great nutritional drink. It has really boosted my immune system, my nephews sugar levels are more balanced and my husband and sons digestive system are so much better. I never do this kind of a thing but I really love the product. I believe in it and want to be apart of spreading it around. It is endorsed by the Chopra Center. I'm excited to get more informed. If your interested in Zrii, let me know. You can buy for personal consumption or get in on the business side. lydieskunk1@hotmail.com
I'll stay in Utah until the 28th so I can spend time at Heather's and have some fun with my grandkids!

Utah Trip and Easter

This has been in the making for some time. Sorry it is so long. It is so hard to choose which pictures to post. We didn't get to see Christopher, Bailey and Brody on Easter. They were at the dunes. That's why there is no pictures of that cute little guy. I had a great time in Utah and right when I got home Easter Sunday we went to Ronnie and Aleia's for dinner and to celebrate Easter. I had a great week!

Check out my Slide Show!

Utah and Sophie's Birthday

I got to go and visit Heather and her family during Spring Break. I had a lot of fun but the time went by to quick. I arrived on the 16th and stayed until Easter Sunday. Sophie's birthday was on Monday the 17th which was also St. Patrick's Day. Last year when I was there we were at a park and it was pretty warm outside. This year it was cold and it snowed. Heather wrote on her blog that we took Sophie and the younger ones to Pei Wei for lunch. Before that we went to Toy's R Us and Sophie picked out a kitchen for her birthday. I got her a pretty brown sweater that I bought in AZ and then I let her pick out some food things for her new kitchen. When Heath got home we went to an indoor swimming pool. It was to cold for me but I still got in. Ethan is still swimming from last summer. After that we went home to eat Sophie's birthday cake.
We took Tyson and Ethan to see "Horton Sees A Who." Cute movie for you to take your kids too. They didn't get to do as much with me because they were in school through Wednesday. Saturday night we went out to eat at Outback and then we went to Temple Square. It was beautiful, of course. We watched a movie on families and walked around. We then went to eat dessert at an ice cream place. Huge servings but yummy! I'm glad I ordered a child's sunday. On Easter morning before I left to go home we cooked a yummy breakfast and then hid their easter eggs and played with the bubble blowers I got them. I always enjoy my visits with my grandkids. The only problem is they all want my to cuddle with them at night and that can take a long time. So this trip they were assigned a night. That way I can spend some quality time visiting with them. They also like my stories. Probably because I act them out and make them up. (In other words I make a fool out of myself!) The hard part is when I visit another time and they want the same story that I made up. It's hard to remember, but I try. This year it wa s Cowboy Billy!!! After I got home we went over to Ronnie and Aleia's for Easter dinner. It was fun. Jaylee and Faith and ther cousin Chance found tons of Easter eggs. They had a blast. Faith had a hard time when I was going to leave. She had told me on the phone when I called that she had been crying for me. What can I say, they love me!

Puppy Love?

I had to post this...the other day Jaylee was at our house when I was checking out blogs. I checked Heather's friend EmmaLee's and from there I decided to check out her sisters. Amy had a cute video of her little boy that is 8 months old. He was just laughing and laughing and it was so cute. I showed Jaylee....oh my goodness! Every time it quit she said, "Baby, baby...(and then she would start to cry. I played it again and she smiled and was happy...until his laughing stopped. So I played it again and again and again. I had to start dinner so I put my computer up. Jaylee was not a happy baby. She just sobbed for the "Baby, baby, I wa (want) see baby!!" I finally had Ron play it while I fixed dinner. It was really funny how she took to him (Landon). I would say, You want to give the baby a love?" She would put her head on the computer and then try to kiss him. The next day she was over and you guessed it, "Baby, baby..I wa see baby! I think she is madly in love with this little guy. I called Landon's Grandma and told her about it. We were laughing so much. I saw his mom today and she wax cracking up too. Anyway, it was funny and it made us all laugh.

Heading to Utah Tomorrow Morning

I leave to Utah at 7:00 A.M. in the morning to go and see Heather and her family for Spring Break. I can't wait to see all of them. I won't be home until Easter Sunday in the afternoon. If any of you can go and see Mommo when I'm gone I know she would appreciate it. She gets very lonely. I'm hoping to get a good nights sleep since I didn't fall asleep last night until 4:00 A.M.. I am going to have to get up probably at 4:30. Last time I went I almost missed my flight and had to run from one end of the airport to the other. I'm hoping to get there so I can walk to the gate. I hope you all have a great week and I'll try to post while I'm at Heather's.

Ron's 57th Birthday

Ron didn't get home until late tonight. We had fixed him dinner and cheesecake and sang to him (and Faith again since he missed hers). I'll post pictures tomorrow. I can't seem to get them to come up right now. We'll probably do something with his mom tomorrow for dinner since he got home so late tonight. I can't believe he is 57!!! Time is really going by fast. Enjoy each moment, you'll be there before you know it!!!! Really!!!!

Faith's 5th Birthday

I can't believe it's Faith's 5th birthday. I remember being up all night waiting for her to be born. It was so exciting to see her for the first time. We've had like a three day birthday bash! Friday, the 7th, (her actual birthday) they came over and I went to the movie with Faith and her family. We saw Enchanted. Cute movie but the theater....yuck! Saturday Faith had a birthday at the Bounce place where they have all of these inflatable things to climb on and play in. It was really fun. Even the adults could go on them. All the kids (and I might say...the adults too) had a blast! We had cake and ice cream there too. After that, Faith came over and spent the night with me. We went home and she played on her new scooter and rolling skates. Then we played games and watched TV. I also watched Jaylee so Ronnie and Aleia could go out to a movie. They were really good. Sunday, Faith went to church with me. I stayed in Sharing Time with her but she ended up going to Young Women's with me. Part of the lesson was on fun family activities and one of the girls talked about going varmint calling with her dad and brother's. Well, what do you know, Faith shown them her Elk call. She really sounds like one too. They couldn't believe how good she was. After church we got online because she got this cute little dog for her birthday and you can go to a sight to do things. Then, Ronnie and Aleia came over and we fixed noodles with chicken and mashed potatoes and cherry cheese cake. Ron had been in California all weekend selling and buying parts so we fixed him dinner and cheesecake. Needless, to say, we had a great weekend and Grandma is tired! But it was all worth it. I wished Christopher and Heather's family could of been with us for all the fun. I missed them. Here's a few pictures.... (Well, maybe tomorrow. I couldn't get them to come up and I'm to tired to wait so toodle-lou for now!!!)

Bria's Baptism

Yesterday I went to my Great nieces baptism, Bria Fletcher. She is such a cutie! We hung out at the beach the past couple of years and had fun. I'm so happy that she wanted to get baptized. Her dad, Bobby, baptized her. All of her Uncles, Aunts, cousins and Grandparents were there. We all went to her house for a yummy barbecue afterwards. I love to see these little children get baptized and accept the Gospel in their lives. They are so lucky to have it. I can't wait until Ethan's baptism in July. I can't believe he will soon be eight years old.

Hockey Game

Last Friday we went to the Coyote Hockey game in Glendale. The school had given me some free tickets. We have never been to one so we thought it would be fun. Ronnie and Aleia and their friends went with us. It was fun. We went to Oragno's afterwards for dinner. I got one of my Young Women to babysit Faith and Jaylee at our house. Faith had a lot of fun. We posed for a few pictures before we left.

We're Stuck!!!

Fun in the snow!

Skiing and Four Wheeling

A few weeks ago I went skiing with Connie. We had so much fun. We hadn't been in about 8-10 years. I was a little nervous at first but we did pretty good. I was visualizing getting off the lift for the first time....and what do you know....I fell flat on my behind. Two guys helped me up and told me my skiis were set to big. OK...Connie had mine on. Once we traded skii's I did OK. I did fall one other time because I thought I was going to run into some people after I got off the lift. Next time, I'll just run over them!!!! Anyway, we skiied on Friday and then on Saturday we went four wheeling with Ron. That was fun too. Ron got us stuck in the snow and Connie helped us get out. That evening My other two sisters and their husbands came to Eager and we all went out to dinner. We had a great weekend.

"Reflections of Christ" Again!

I went to see "Reflections of Christ" again last night with the Young Women. It was even better the second time. The girls really loved it and felt the spirit. Like I said earlier, try to go see it and let your friends and family know about it. It is awesome!

HINCKLEY CHALLENGE

The progress report is for reading the Book of Mormon. It is a challenge to read it in 97 days, the age of President's Hinckley. Bailey had it on her blog so I decided to take the challenge. I just had read the Book of Mormon and was reading the Doctrine and Covenants and decided to start over again. If you want to take the challenge click on my progress report and it will show you what to do. Go for it!

"Reflections of Christ"

I just want to encourage all of you to go to the Visitors Center at the Mesa Arizona Temple and view the beautiful photography of Christ. It is called, "Reflections of Christ." My friends son, Mark Mabry Jr. took all the pictures and my nieces husband Jason Barney worked on the music. I saw it when it first came out and haven't posted since then. Make sure you watch the documentary too. It is awesome. Mark was truly inspired and so was Jason. It is a wonderful missionary tool. So make sure you go and take your friends and family! I am so very proud of Mark, Jason and all those who worked so hard to make this exhibit such a success.

The Plan of Salvation is wonderful! We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we will be with our loved ones again. We are so blessed!

Y.W. Snow Outing

The Young Women Gang!

I had fun too!


Well Friday and Saturday I was gone on an overnight Young Women Activity. We met at the church at 3:45 and headed up to Flagstaff. We had sandwiches and chips for dinner and played games and visited in to the night. Saturday we had a yummy breakfast and then had a devotional. We then went and played in the snow. Some of the girls made a little hill to sled over. We all had a great time although we were tired. I got home about 6:00 that evening. It was a lot of fun and it helped us all bond more together.

Christmas 2007

Christmas Time!

Well, I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! We did. Heather's family got here early Saturday morning (22nd) and the fun began. We finished up some shopping and then we took the kids to see Alvin and The Chipmunks. Ronnie came and brought Faith. It was really a cute show. Sunday we just visited. Christopher and Bailey, Ronnie and Aleia and all their kids came over and we played games.

Christmas Eve I had the scavenger hunt for the kids and we made gingerbread houses out of little milk cartons and graham crackers. That night we went over to Christopher's and Bailey's for dinner with her family. We had a little talent show with the kids. Ethan and Jonah sang songs they learned at school. Heekie (misspelled???) sang a song. She has a beautiful voice. She is a foreign exchange student from Korea. She is living with Bailey's parents. She was so nice to my mother. My mom gave her a bracelet right off of her own arm. That's just how my mom is. She enjoyed talking with her.

Christmas DAY was SO fun watching the kids open their presents. They got a WII game so we had a lot of fun playing it. I liked the tennis game and the bowling. We always have a great big breakfast. We fixed Belgium waffles with strawberries and whip cream, bacon and eggs and juice. It is always yummy! We eat left overs from Christmas Eve (ham, potatoes, etc) throughout the day.

The 26th was Heather's birthday. Bailey cut and did Heather's hair for her birthday. So we went over there the first thing in the morning. After that, we went to Peter Piper Pizza for lunch with the kids. One of Heather's friends was there with her four little children (3 adopted, one hopefully soon). After that we tried to get a family picture. We haven't had one for five years. It isn't an easy thing to accomplish either. Heath would get the camera ready and my sister Connie would snap the pictures. One turned out pretty good but we have to photoshop some of it. Or should I say Heath has too. Thanks Connie and Heath. Of course Heather couldn't go home without eating at Matta's. So that's where we went for dinner. Then we came home and played the WII games.

Thursday they started packing and left around 1:00 PM. They got home about 12:45 AM. WE sure are going to miss them. It is a long trip for them to come and for Heath to drive. He had to get up and go to work on Friday morning. Thanks again Heath for bringing them all here. We had a lot of fun and wish you lived closer to us. I usually get in a depression after they leave but I'm going to try not to this year. I got a new camera and I'm going to go to some classes and hopefully learn all that I can so I can take cool pictures. I've always been interested in photography and now we'll see what I can learn. It is a Canon Rebel.

We are all so blessed and I'm am so thankful for my family. I love them all so much. (I know enough of the mushy stuff).

Tomorrow Brody has to go and get tubes put in his ears. Hopefully it will help him and he won't get ear infections anymore. Poor little guy!

Pictures later...

Gingerbread House

Ronnie and Aleia went to see "The Forgotten Carols" tonight so I watched the girls. Faith and I made a gingerbread house Ronnie bought for her. It was fun but took longer than I thought it would, but we had a fun time making it. Jaylee was really good while we made it. She played on the floor by us and sometimes I held her but that was a little tricky when your squeezing icing out of a tube. Fun little family home evening for us.

Busy Day...

Wow...what a busy day! First Ron and I had to be at the church at 6:30 A.M. to help set up for the ward Christmas Breakfast Party. Ron cooked and I helped set up and get the kids ready for Santa. Then we went home and got cleaned up for Faith's dance recital. she did a really good job. It is so fun to watch little ones dance. She asked me, "Grandma, did I shake my boodie?" She was one of the best in her group. Jaylee enjoyed the dances too and kept clapping. Afterwards we met Bailey at Walmart and she gave us Brody. They are so busy trying to get their house ready to move in. A lot of work, that's for sure. After losing Brody's shoe (I backed tracked through the whole store, ran into Meagan, who later called me because she got his lost shoe from a lady who found it) we went and got something to eat and then went to the mall to look at cameras with Ronnie and Aleia. Then when we got home. I got to change a messy diaper a couple of times. Dried Brody's wet clothes fromhis drooling. Then we went out to Christopher and Bailey's new house and vacuumed out drawers and cleaned the outside of the cabinets. They have a beautiful home with lots of room. We got home at midnight and went to bed to rise early for our church. Now lunch is over, I posted this and now I am going to see my mom. She gets lonely, so if any of you grandkids can...go visit her. She loves to see you and the kids!

We had a Longhurst Christmas Party at Jason house this year. The kids had fun playing pin the nose on Rudolph and Ronnie played Santa Says with them. Here's a picture of the babies that were all new borns last year. They were definately busier this year but so dang cute. Parents and Grandma had to help to take a quick snap shot of them. Shannon added a little girl but she was only a week old and didn't want to bring her out yet. We sure love our family and are so thankful that we are close to each other. Heather's family will be here on the 22nd. We are all excited to see all of them and have some fun! Merry Christmas to each of you!

What a Cutie Bug...Brody Keith!

I got to babysit my little grandson Friday night while his mom and dad went to a movie. He is such a fun little guy..well, not so little! I had fun playing with him. I didn't have a play pen to put him in and so I had to turn out all the lights and try to get him to sleep. He was so cute though...he would go to the front door with a little fake cry, wanting his mommy and daddy. Then he would come and lay down on me and then back to the front door. He finally went to sleep on my Christmas doll. I had to take a picture of him. I have one of Faith when she was about 9 months old asleep on it too. It is just so sweet! He is the Cutest!!!!

Christmas Is Coming..I can't wait!

Thanks Katie for the new Christmas background. You're great!

Happy Thanksgiving

My sweet mama!



My Kids and Grandkids (some of them)


Just a little kiss for my cousin!

I sure hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We went over to Jason's house with the Perkin's family. We ate, got full, and yes, I beat Anthon and Eileen in ping pong. Way to go Lyd! Thanks Eileen for letting us come over.
Ron and Ronnie left afterwards to go elk hunting. Christopher, Bailey, and Brody left to go to the dunes and Aleia, Faith and Jaylee went to Holbrook with her grandparents and Aunt. Have fun everyone. I'm setting home alone. It is quite peaceful but I missed seeing Heather's family today. I can't wait until Christmas so we can see all of them.
I'm grateful to all of my family and friends and for all the wonderful blessings I have. We are all blessed to live in this great land and to have our freedom. Thanks to our forefathers for all of their sacrifices and all those who fought for our freedom. I hope each of you can stop a few minutes and think of a few things that you are thankful for on this special day. I love you all!
I have a good picture of Eileen but she said she would pay my way into the movie if I didn't blog it...we'll see?

GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE...HAPPY THANSGIVING!

Heather and I are more a like than she thinks! Yum, my favorite pie too!

You Are Lemon Meringue Pie

You're the perfect combo of sassy and sweet. You always know how to brighten someone's mood, but you're not overly sappy. In fact, you can be a bit too honest at times. And most people find that refreshing. While you're always true to yourself, you keep things light. That's how people are able to stomach your slightly bitter outlook. Those who like you have well refined tastes. You're complicated - and let's face it - a true enigma. You enjoy defying expectations, and there are many layers to your personality. There's not one easy way to define you.

What Kind of Pie Are You?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RONNIE AND BRODY!!!

Today, 29 years ago, Ronnie was born early in the morning. He had only a 10% chance of living because I had a strep infection that they didn't know I had. They were running all kinds of tests on him to find out what was causing him to have such a high fever. I ended up getting sick the next evening with a really high fever and they called my Dr. in. It's not very fun being examined and tested less than a day after giving birth, but they did find out that I had the strep infection and they finally knew how to treat Ronnie. It was a very emotional time when the Dr. gave him only a 10% chance to live. Ron and my dad gave him a blessing and I immediatly had peace in my heart and knew he would be OK. Two weeks later I brought him home from the hospital. I remember looking like a racoon the day I went home from the hospital without him. I had cried so much that my eyes were red all around them. They didn't have it where the mom's could stay there with their babies then. I went back and forth to the hospital and used a breast pump to bring him milk. One thing that was good about it was I lost all the weight I had gained plus 10 more pounds. I was very thin, then!!! Anyway, I want Ronnie to know how thankful I am for him and that he was able to be in our family. Even through the hard years!!!! (I'm just glad I survived them!) He has grown up to be a great man that we love with all of our hearts. Happy Birthday Ronnie!!!!

Then, last year our son Christopher and his wife had a cute little (well, not so little ...) baby boy named Brody Keith on Ronnie's birthday. It was so exciting to see this little guy make his entrance to the world. He had big fists and was so cute and chubby. This past year has been so fun watching him grow and learn things so fast. He has got to be the happiest baby in the world. He almost always has a big smile on his face. We are so happy to have this big guy in our family! As you can see in the above picture, his dad and mom bought him his first 4-wheeler!!!! Happy Birthday Brody!!!!

HALLOWEEN TIME

We have been busy with work and church responsibilities. Here's a little bit of our Halloween..Our ward always has a Halloween party each year with booths and lots of food. Ron and I are both on the Activities committee so we helped with the carnival. Ronnie and Aleia brought the girls. Faith had a lot of fun and Jaylee slept through most of it because she still wasn't feeling very good. That was on the 24th, which happened to be Christopher's birthday. After the carnival we went and watched the games that Ronnie and Christopher played in with all the cousins.
Halloween day wears me out at school because we literally party all day in the class that I work in. That evening Ron and I went to Ronnie and Aleia's for our traditional pumpkin bread bowls and soup. It was yummy!!! Potato and chili. After dinner we went trick-or-treating with the girls, Jaylee and Faith. Jaylee did not want to get in her darling little pumpkin costume. Once we got her outside and gave her a sucker she was perfectly happy. Faith had so much fun giving out candy and then trick-or-treating. We left there and went over to Christopher and Bailey's so we could see Brody. He was a pirate and looked as cute as ever. Christopher and Bailey had scrubs on. Jason came by with bleached hair and his skin yellow to be Bart Simpson. We had a fun evening but we missed Heather and all our other grandkids!!! She said they had a lot of fun too. Anyway, holiday season is upon us. Now for Thanksgiving and starting our Christmas shopping.

A little late in posting...

I've been busy and I was going to post more pictures for Christopher little video but I have to scan the other pictures and I haven't had time so here is what I've got for now.

Check out my Slide Show!

Christopher 27th Birthday

My youngest son turned 27 on October 24. I can't believe how time flies. He had to coach his football team and then he had a baseball game after that so we didn't get to do anything until Sunday evening. I made him Hawaiian Haystacks nad Cherrycheese cake. It was yummy if I say so myself. Anyway, I'm thankful for my son and his family, especially that little grandson. Brody brightens my day and anyone that sees him just like his dad does. Christopher has grown up big and strong and we love him so much. We are so proud of him!!!! Happy Birthday Christopher!
