Check out this post by my cousin Camilla, in tribute to our grandmother.

I couldn't have said it better.

I have so many fond memories of Gram- goodie bags for the drive home from her house, the annual Easter egg hunt, stories about her dogs, and the Chiquita banana song. :)

We love Gram!

Late night beach walks!



Pagie and Everett.




Adriel loved playing in the water with her cousins, or second cousins, whatever my cousin's children would be called.




The babes fought over who got to have the Cabbage Patch doll hair crimper on their face. Brooklee won this one.


9/12 of the great-grandchildren.
Ryder, Adriel, Ellery (3 weeks old!), Dallyn, Brooklee, Sofie, Lucy, Carson, Everett.

And this is what was going on behind the camera:

Can't wait for the next one!

2 weeks from yesterday, camp will be all done. 2 weeks from today, we will fly back to Utah. And 2 weeks from Monday, we will start school.

Hooray.
