Grand Parent Heaven!

It's official we finally are able to let everyone know that we are expecting yet another grand baby. Ashley and Lance are due at the beginning of July. We are so excited! We found out in November.  The way Ashley told us was so creative and unforgettable and talk about surprised! WOW it was so awesome how surprised we all were.  She made a nice dinner for us all and next to our plates were some cute envelopes very carefully marked for each of us. As we finished eating dinner she announced that we are to now open the envelope. As we opened them one by one all you could hear were squeals and screaming (mostly from me) and we all jumped up and could not hug Ash and Lance fast enough! The cards that Jerry and I are holding in the picture you see were our cute cards that we got to open.

Thanksgiving was so eventful for our family. Baby Madeline was born on November 29th unexpectedly and right before that Ash let us know she was expecting. WONDERFUL! Soon Jerry and I will be in grandparent haven!! I still don't know what my grand babies are going to call me. I am excited about that!

Not only was November eventful for us but I think the whole 2011 was!  Christian came home from his mission and was not home very long and decided to head on up to Provo to start his life.  He is doing great and is still trying to adjust. I wished he could have stayed a little longer here at home so I could have fattened him up a bit he is a stick as he calls himself. It was sad for me to have him leave so soon but I know it is for the best for him.  I am excited for his future and pray all will go well for him in every which way.

In the mean time I love my life and continue to feel so blessed!!  Life really is so great!
