I miss my lawnchair!

Happy 14th Birthday Hannah!!

I woke up this morning thinking about the day Hannah was born.... well not that actual day because I try and block that from my memory. lol But the few weeks that followed. I remember Matt and I spending hours talking about our hopes and dreams for this beautiful little baby girl. I must say she has FAR exceeded all of those!! Hannah has this thirst for knowledge and determination is unbelieveable. If Hannah puts her mind to do it... not only will she succeed... she'll be at the top! I repeatedly have adults ( teachers, parents, etc. ) come up to me to tell me how lucky I am to have a daughter like her. And they're right... I am very lucky!!

She's a good kid all around. She doesn't give into peer pressure and has no problem standing up for what she believes in... even if it's not the popular decision. Of course we get the occasional teenage attitude... can't be a teen without it. ;) But she's a good kid that is growing up MUCH too quickly!

For now... she still enjoys being around us. lol Yes we're "uncool" at times... but for the most part we're allowed to be seen in public with her. ;) She enjoys that were the youngest parents in her group of friends. haha

Tonight she's having a bunch of friends over for pizza and cookie cake.. because regular cake just isn't cool these days. ;) I'll be sure to take lots of pics... much to her dismay and get them on here!!

Happy 105th Birthday Grandma!

That's how old Grandma would've been today if she was still here with us. The fact that she made it until 102 still amazes me... yet I know we all wish we could've had a few more years :)

I see alot of her in the kids....

Hannah has her ability to be a good listener without always offering an opinion. She can also be a little nosey just like Grandma ( remember her and Gladys lol). And she also has her determination! If grandma decided she was going to do something.. then that was that... nothing got in her way! Hannah is definitely the same way!

Brooke definitely has her spunk! She can be so entertaining... and so was grandma. Along with that she has her sassiness and gusto to just spit out whatever they're thinking. lol Grandma had a long list of classics that still make us all chuckle. :)

And Drew has her contagious smile. If Grandma was smiling... you just couldn't help smiling right along with her. Drew is the same way....just melts your heart!

It's been almost 3 years since she passed... but all the memories are still very fresh. From having her wonderful fried eggs when I was little.. to having a beer with her when I was older..... I am very fortunate that she made it to 102!

Happy Birthday Grandma... we all miss you!!
