A Bunch of Stuff

Wow...I've been a ton of places and done a bunch of stuff since I last posted here. I was able to go to Washington for fall break and was so lucky! The kids had a ton of activities while I was there, and in 6 days, I went to 2 of Dayson's basketball games, 1 of Jayden's volleyball games, 1 of Ryenn's basketball games, Dayson's playoff football game, Easton's field trip to the Pumpkin Patch, the Apple Cider Mill with the family, the kids Primary final practice for their Sacrament meeting presentation, and to my favorite little store that sells primitive holiday knick-knacks. We also were invited to some friends home for fresh salmon (grilled and baked). It was a terrific trip and I always am so sorry to have to leave. I truly feel I was born to be a grandma! There are no words to explain the love you have for your children. But when you have grandchildren~ that feeling that you can't explain about your own kids~ it comes into your heart with a vengance! They are the most precious gift and I'm so grateful that I've been 'loaned' all these kids to love me and me love back. Enough of that...I have a lump in my throat. Sunday I went to Abby's and had dinner with 4 of my kids, my sweet daughter in law, and 3 of my grandkids. We had great conversation and just a lot of fun. I was a tad tired from staying out until 3:30am with some old friends, but will never pass up the chance to hang out with the kids. I'm going to post a few photos from Wa., but know I wasn't able to capture the gorgeous fall colors. ILMF!
