We love our Grandma's and Grandpa's...sooo much!!

I am not sure if today is the official holiday or not, but today my kids are celebrating "Grandparent's Day" at school! So... Happy grandparent's day!! I didn't know that there is an official holiday for grandparents, I am so glad that there is! The past few weeks Evan and Eli have been practicing (over and over...)the songs that they have been learning for the grandparent program at school . We ALL have them memorized now!- the other day I caught myself humming the tune to one as I swept the kitchen floor!! ( annoying!) Anyway just recently we talked about family history for FHE- So we've been thinking a lot about the legacy that our grandparents and many many previous generations of grandparents have given us! What a blessing, to have such wonderful loved ones to look up to and to learn from! I am so grateful that my boys are able to spend time with their grandparents. I know that I take for granted the fact that we live so close to ALL of them- it is a HUGE blessing! I am so thankful for the memories that I have of my grandparents while growing up, and that I am still able to make memories with them now! I know my relationship with them is a big part of who I am today! I am so thankful that my children are able to build memories, play with, learn, interact, and be loved by grandparents !!! - Their influence is tremendous! I hope that we can continue the wonderful legacy we have been given- We love you!!!

" Little Grandma Evans" (my Dad's mom)that's what Evan started calling her when he was about two. She may look little but she sure has a big heart and strong spirit! I miss my grandpa Evans and I know she does even more, but she is strong and happy, always always positive! One of the greatest ladies I know.



Grandpa Kim (my dad) He especially loves babies and has a gift for getting them to sleep (dancing to the beat of really great -sometimes loud-music!) He is very generous and thoughtful! He always finds special and unusual trinkets to surprise the boys with! He plays games and builds castles and is a great referee (8 grandsons, says it all!) He loves to learn and takes the time to teach. He loves children and has a tenderheart!


Grandma Karen (my mom) I could write pages about her!... She is one of my best friends! I love how she misses my boys and worries about them. She plays with them and teaches them things that I forget too. she taught Evan how to sew a button on! She lets them bake with her and makes up the BEST stories. Whenever we stay at her house she tucks the boys in and lays with them until they are asleep(But first there is giggling, story telling, back scratching etc...) She helped me so much through the past few rough months (my husband gone a lot, new baby, new job, packing, moving, new house, unpacking...etc!) She is my mom- the worlds best!

Great-Grandpa Murray (my mom's dad) met the boys almost everyday this summer in his workshop and helped them build! They made airplanes, bug boxes, rockets, and swords. He is very patient and has a way of making you feel really special! He taught me all that I know about wildlife and the great outdoors! I have many memories as a little girl fishing and camping, and hiking with grandpa. Grandpa took me snow skiing my first time. I remember being pretty nervous about getting off the lift but he took my mind off of it when he pulled an orange (my favorite) out of his pocket and we shared it on the way up the mountain! Grandpa is always interested in what we are doing and loves to listen! I love his potatoes cooked right in the fire- black as coal and delicious inside!


Great-Grandma Murray (my mom's mother) Her house is one of my favorite places to be- lots of memories made there! She always makes everybody feel welcome! She tells lots of stories and makes me laugh! I remember really feeling special when I was little because Grandma always told me I was beautiful- She still does! She kisses my boys and says they smell good! She has an incredible memory and tells lots of stories about us growing up! She writes in her journal- I love that! She is really brave (no numbing at the dentist!) and such a hard worker! I love everything she cooks! Especially her homeade donuts! She is such an incredible lady. I 'm so blessed that she's my grandma!

Grandpa Paul and Grandma Shirlene (Glen's parents) are generous and always willing to help anyone! I love the twinkle is Grandma 's eye when she gets excited about something! She plays the wii with all the kids and cheers for them while they swim in their condo pool. I love how supportive they are! they travel long distances to be there for special events in the lives of their family! Grandpa is always working on projects and can fix anything! He grills really great hamburgers and I am always impressed that he does the dishes after every meal! We have had lots of fun times sitting around the big Huber table playing card games. I love their traditions and seeing how important Family is to them!

Great-Grandma Andersen (Glen's mom's mother) lives in Arizona, so we don't get to see her as often as we would like to! I love her stylish clothing and beautiful white hair! She has great jewlery- very classy lady! I love how she speaks her mind and isn't afraid to be who she is. She is a strong lady, I really admire her devotion to her family! She works in the temple and is very dedicated. I love that she is competative when it comes to card games and it's just best if you let her win!
