Grandma Giboney

The reason I took all 4 kids up to Spokane for the funeral was not to give Todd a fun-filled weekend alone.....it was so I could get 4 generation pictures with my Grandma (who is weeks away from turning 95).

Luke

Claire

Sophie

Some funny stuff about the visit:

My grandma has no idea who I am or who my kids are, but she LOVES her great-grand kids and couldn't get enough of them.

Claire was so cute with Grandma and all Grandma kept saying was how beautiful she was.

Grandma loved Sophie because she was such a sweet little baby...and she just kept saying over and over what a handsome little baby "he" was.

The last time I did 4 generation pictures was when Luke was about 6 weeks old and he had a major blow out so he was only wearing a diaper and socks....I have to hunt down those pictures!

Fairmont Hot Springs...and this week's flashback

Last week my cousin passed away from Cancer so we decided to make the trip up to Spokane. Timmy and I drove the minivan with all 4 kids (Todd had to work) and my parents went up too. We decided to cut the drive up in half and stop at Fairmont Hot Springs in Butte, Montana.

I haven't been there since I was a kid...here is this week's Flashback.

we are freezing and have no tan whatsoever!

So much better once you're in the hot spring

It was a long trip... Claire was left in the back by herself too long. She decided to play with her crayons and colored her entire face red. We noticed this about 5 minutes from my Uncle Ron's house.
