My mom got a poster size, framed picture of her grandkids. After opening it, she went through each child reading them out loud and laughing. She hung it up on the wall right away.
Here are my 30 neices and nephews. I actually have 31. Little Sam is missing. He's about 6 weeks old. He'll make the next one for sure. Most of these emotions are describe their personalities perfectly. I think my favorite is Grace's forsaken, or Betty's heartbroken, or Paisley's perplexed, or Lucy's joyful. I love my family.
My mom loves being a grandma. She loves her grand kids. I almost wish she was my grandma, but I get to have her as my mom!
They're great grandparents.
Really fast, my mom and I went to Pocatello, Idaho last weekend to visit my grandma. It was fun to see my grandma and spend some time with my mom. My dad was going to come, but I'm glad he didn't because mom and I talked and talked and talked. One night we even stayed up until 2:00 a.m. talking!! I told her about my dating experiences and she told me about all of the boys in her dating years. There were a lot! It's been a while since I've stayed up talking like that and I've never done it with my mom!
My mom is hilarious. I'm keeping a quote wall, mostly so I can remember funny things or precious moments. My mom said a lot of things that night.
"Mom, it's getting late, It's like 12:40" - Me
"It's probably good we talked. I kinda feel like we're the same age right now." - Mom
"I haven't talked like this for like twenty years it feels like." - Mom
I don't remember how we got into this conversation, but it just shows how funny that night was...
"I might die in five years" - Mom
"We might die on our way home tomorrow" - Me
"I might die before morning" - Mom
"Mom it's already morning!" - Me
"What time is it?" - Mom
"1:00" - Me
"Oh my goodness I've never stayed up this late!" - Mom
"Never?" - Cindy
"Not hardly" - Mom
"Dad had good brains." - Mom
"Haha good brains??" - Me
"He did. and I really needed that because I dated some real... knuckleheads." - Mom
"Hahahaha" - Me
I will probably remember that night forever. I learned a lot about her. I felt like we were the same age too. It was fun :)
P.S. I finally learned about google reader. I have never used it before. I had 256 new items! I follow a lot of blogs :) I can read blogs without going to their blog! It's awesome.
Well I'm off to California. Camille is back from Romania and we going on a road trip! I can't wait to spend hours and hours in the car with her, we sure do have a lot to catch up on. 4 months worth.

That is darling! What a cute idea :) And btw, I totally thought Grace was Simon, they could be siblings! (not that that's uncommon for your family) ha
