Happy birthday

Do you remember?

Back in February 1998 it actually snowed here in Bakersfield! For those of you who know Bakersfield you know how amazing that is! The whole city shut down. It was a great day.

For several years in the past, I would worry about my son. Especially around Christmas time when the family would all get together. We have been so blessed to have him and his wonderful little family with us again.
A year ago they were sealed in the Las Vegas Temple.




During this Hoilday time I do miss my parents who live so far away and my grandparents who are no longer with us.

I also miss my brothers and their families.

This Thanksgiving I had all my grandbabies together and so we took some pictures. As you can see it was a little crazy getting all of them to look right at the camera or to not cry but it was wonderful!


My beautiful granddaughters!


My handsome grandsons!

November is the month for being Thankful

I have a lot of things to be thankful about! But the thing I am most thankful for is to my Heavenly Father for making me a woman. I love being a mother. From the time I was a little girl I would dress all my dolls and pose them and take their picture.

On one of my birthdays one of my daughters gave me this card. This is the reward that mothers are most thankful for:
