Happy belated Birthday Grandma!

-My grandma Miller had her 86th birthday on May 4th.
We wish we could have been there to celebrate with you grandma. You are a beautiful person and I have so many childhood memories with you!
I will share a few of the many memories I have of her. We loved hearing her read Huckleberries for Sal a book that was a favorite, she probably read 100 times to the grandchildren. She makes the best tapioca pudding, bread pudding, apple sauce, among so many other things. She is a fabulous cook. She can easily make left-overs a new amazing meal. Back in the day she kept her freezer stocked with "banana bars" and all Challenge dairy products since grandpa was the general manager of Challenge Dairy in Utah. I am loving her recently finished life history. We love you grandma/great grandma!
Grandma and a few of her great grand daughters.

these are a few of my favorite things...

For a new post to refresh the page (quickly) I have to tell you our favorite new/old thing. I might post a link later but for now I'll just explain. They are my fave discovery from my last trip to CA. They are called My Book House. They are a collection of 12 books that have all the favorite poems, stories, Aesop's fables, Mother Goose rhymes and amazing illustrations. They are priceless. Any mom who wants her child to know the stories and poems we learned as a child will want these books. I love childrens books and if I had purchased these first I would have bought a lot fewer books. They are really cheap on ebay. I like the 1971 addition because they are the newest print. If you get a partial set you can get them for a steal. At least I did. I think they are a must. Ellie reads these stories to Wells sometimes at night it is so precious.

update. We spent the last two weeks moving out of the place we were in and are living temporarily right next to Nate's parents. We hope to be in our house in two to three weeks if we can get the painting and carpeting done quickly. more later...
