ThrowBack Thursday ~ Cash, cutest little pumpkin...

Prayer...

There may be some who haven’t prayed for a long time or others who haven’t felt that their prayers are being heard. I promise you that your Heavenly Father knows you, loves you, and wants to hear from you. He wants to communicate with you. He wants you to remember who you are.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland recently taught: “However much you are praying, pray more. However hard you are praying, pray harder.”

Our Grey boy...

Sam and Dot did come out from their cozy bedding long enough for us to see them play on the wheel and grab a bite to eat. Grey seems so happy with his new pet gerbils.

We celebrated Grey one more time with a family dinner. I think he had a good birthday week. We had a birthday date on Tuesday, a neighborhood Fall party on Wednesday, a friend party on Friday, and a family dinner on Sunday. He also enjoyed watching an installment of the Lord of the Rings with Mark. 

We love Grey so much and hope his 12th year is as wonderful as he is! 

Grey saw this shirt in a catalog and I could tell he wanted it. It looks so cute on him.

Grey still likes things that are small enough to fit in his pocket or in his hands. I found eleven Grey sized toys and I think he really liked them.

I hope Grey knows above anything 

else how much we cherish him.

Trick candles!

From August until October we celebrate the birth of our grandson's. Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm have really blessed our lives.

A good day...

I went for a walk this morning and the trees in front of our home were glowing. (no filter) 

We got to watch Mark coach Grey's last soccer game of the season. The Lightning Lime's came up with a win today! Mark is a great coach. Grey is fast and has a powerful kick! I will miss the Saturday games.

I made a cake for Grey's family party tomorrow. I think of my Mom every time I bake. She made so many beautiful cakes through the years. Grey has had a fun birthday week and we look forward to celebrating him again tomorrow! 

Grey has been thinking about getting a new pet. He has done some research and settled on getting a gerbil, well actually two gerbils. He hasn't named them yet. He looks like one happy boy. Mark always wanted to get pets when he was Grey's age too!

This afternoon I saw my neighbor walking with his friend who has Down syndrome. It touches my heart every time I see Randy and Mike together. They have been buddies for a long time. They are both going to Heaven. 

It's been a good day!

ASRM Workshop Philippines...

 

Christopher's company sponsored this ASRM conference. Christopher was the MC and spoke in two sessions, one of which about 90 doctors were present. I wish I could have been there to hear his presentation. If only the Philippines were not so far away. Proud of you Chris.

And he got to meet several beauty queens! 

Cherished tradition...

Another birthday date with Grey-a tradition that I treasure more each year. Watching Grey grow has been one of the sweetest joys of my life. He still loves pancakes so I surprised him with a late breakfast at TRUreligion. He loved it! 

Grey loved the pancakes and we both agreed the hash browns were the best we have ever tasted!

We also went to The Rush, then went shopping, and he found a few fun toys. 

I like shoes so over the years I let the Grands choose a new pair... the Shoe Grandma for sure! So grateful for another year celebrating this grandson of mine.
