If any of you have met my fabulous Grandpa John..you know that he is always smiling! He and my Grandma Emma are such great examples to me. They are so kind to everyone. I have never heard my Grandma or Grandpa raise their voices. Everyone of their grandchildren feel like 'they are the favorite grandchild'...to me, that shows that my grandparents did something right. They never told any of us that we are the favorite, but when you are with them, they make you feel like you are the most important to them.
Growing up, every Sunday we would go over to their house. ALL my Aunts, Uncles and cousins would be there. If we were bad during the week, my mom would say..if you keep this up, you aren't going to Grandma's on Sunday..yep, THAT was our punishment! We would do anything just so we could go to Grandma's house.
I love my Grandparents so much! They are truly one of my most favorite people.
When Preston was a newborn, I was at my mom's house ALOT..ok, I still am, but it was such a fun time for me because my mom usually has Fridays off, so my sister and Desi would go over to my mom's on Friday, and we would all hang out. I LOVED IT! I told my mom that Thursday night was my favorite night of the week because that meant the next day was Friday. Desi was so cute with Preston. I would have Preston laying on my mom's couch and she would just lay her sweet head next to him and stare at him. I love this picture.
Sweet Desi LOVES Steve. When Steve would come over to my mom's after work, Desi would drop anything that she was doing just so she could be by Steve. Steve was holding Preston and pretending to be asleep, a game that Desi loved to play. So Desi nuzzled her way onto the couch and layed by Steve. It didn't matter how long Steve stayed on the couch, Desi was right next to him..all the time. One time Steve was holding Preston and I was sitting next to Steve. Desi came onto the couch and sat between us. She layed her head on Steve's arm, looked at me, and said 'My love him'....oh she is so precious!!!

I love the story of your grandparents. We used to have the same relationship with my mom's parents. The whole family would get together every Sunday. Unfortunately for us and lucky for them, they are now spending time with their family in heaven.
Is is Dec. 17th yet!?! This was such a sweet post! I love the pictures, and seeing Grandpa really makes me excited to come home. We have the BEST family in the world! I love how Desi bonded with Steve, Darren, and Ryan... and those memories of Steve and Desi are so darling. Thanks for blogging about this!
Love you!
Cute pictures. What fun memories all the kids will have spending time with grandparents/great grandparents.
Those are the sweetest pictures ever! I love grandparents. They are the best!
Are you still in the Sandy area? I can't remember where your family moved to. That is great that you have such strong family traditions. Now that I am older and I think back to people who influenced me in my life, one of the families that I think of is yours. You always had such a good strong family and I feel lucky that I hung out with you so much and was able to be influenced by you and your family. I hope to incorporate some of the things that your parents had you do such as only play with family days etc. into my family so that hopefully they will always be close to one another. I hope your whole family is well, what are ryan and darin doing with their lives?
Cute Cute! We have decided to go private so I need your email. Thanks! Hopefully we will see you guys at the Hammer party.
when a kid loves your husband, it makes you love him even more, doesn't it! How exciting for you to get to see your sister for the holidays! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!
