In Memory

Last night, Grandma Jefferies passed away. She was my last living grandparent. Grandpa Jefferies died over 3 years ago, so she has been alone for some time and it has been relatively easy to let go of her. Grandma had struggled mentally for several years, so it almost felt as if she was already gone. I loved Grandma so much. I didn't get to see her a lot because she lived in Nyssa, Oregon, but we usually made a trip up to their house every summer. It was so funny, because as I got to be a teenager I would hear more and more that I looked like her. One time I was at the local supermarket and a woman came up to me and said "you must be related to Blanche." She lived a full life and raised five wonderful children. She was the kind of woman that never said a mean thing about anyone. I doubt she had any regrets. I'm just so happy to know that she's reunited with her husband and at rest. Love you, Grandma.

"Quiet Time"

Lunch Date with Dad

Yesterday, Ty was at a conference in Mesa, so we took advantage of how close he was and met him for lunch at a cute little park. Jack always loves seeing Ty during the day. It's so cute to watch his face light up when he sees Daddy coming.

I love my boys.

Too cute not to post.

You can really tell by Jack's expression how much he loves his Uncle Cody.

Busy Weekend

My poor little nephew Porter has been in the hospital all weekend. We've all been really worried about him, but it looks like he should be going home soon. We were able to spend a little time over at their house and keep Brock company so he wouldn't miss his family. Jack and Brock are so funny together. Brock totally takes the lead and likes to show Jack how to do things. The boys also loved playing with Grandpa.

And what Valentine's day is complete without frosting sugar cookies? Cream cheese frosting is my weakness.

Park in January

These pictures are a little old, but that's okay! :)

In what other places of the world can you go to the park in January wearing short sleeves? We have been enjoying some of the most wonderful weather around here lately. A couple Saturdays ago, we went for a family bike ride/run (hence the sweaty-looking Ty) and ended it at the park so Jack could get out and play. He asks to go to the park almost everyday. It's his favorite place to be (behind Costco, that is).
