October 14,2009--- Bampa's Birthday!!!

Yesterday was my grandpa Jack's birthday!!!

It has been around eight or nine years since his cancer and when he died.

But every year on October 14, we go down to the baseball diamonds where he was a coach at that very place, and we get white balloons, sing happy birthday to him, and sing Families can be together forever. There's are night.

Just this past day, I have been thinking about the memories that we have had together. I thought about how:

Him and I sat there and we would play Sorry together, and that was fun and how he would always throw me up in his arms and say "I Love You Lizzie Beth" and I wold laugh and my reply would be: "I Love you too Bampa Jack!!!"
Another memory would be me bringing up my favorite barbie in two pieces, the body plus the leg. He would say " Oh of course I'll fix that" and he would super glue and she would be good as new.
The last memory, was this very special memory:
Every time he would come home from the hospital, with my two uncles helping him up the steep cement stairs and as he walked in, he would be so much better, with a smile on my face and on his, we would run to each other, and say HEY!! I MISSED YOU!!!
I enjoyed each and every moment of my playtime with him.
Those four years of love and games were worth it.
I Love You Bampa!!!!
Can't Wait to See you!
Happy Birthday!!

The UEA Weekend.

This Weekend and Week has been pretty cool. It doesn't get any better than a five day weekend.

Going Hiking, Going to SuCasa and a Hires Grasshopper shake as a family. General Conference. Sleeping Over in Kylee and Willa's Room for three nights in a row. Playing in the cold weather with neighbors. Taking great talks away from the room and into my life. The ones I liked, were:

Elder Eyring and how we can be better
Elder Hales about testimony
How about Elder Holland's !!
Ann Dibbs and how we should not let go of the iron rod!!!
President Monson and how he talked about service!!

Going to my grandma's helping her out with her chores, and taking her out to lunch.

This weekend was also great for me, because I got to spend time with my family.

My sisters and I got to stay up late and watch movies, Monsters VS. Aliens for the first time,we loved it! We had to watch Caliou with Willa, and we also got to have sleepovers all four nights!! We each brought our baby dolls and we got to play house. We had three separate families and we were all sisters. We also got to walk done to our neighborhood coffee shop and rode our bikes down and brought warm silky hot chocolate.

My mom and I got to go and go shopping for Halloween costumes and went to the new Khols and got to see all of the fun shoes and my sisters and I had a ball in the massage chairs area,and the Elvis music, and enjoyed the laughter.

Working for my grandma was fun. I took her out to lunch for her birthday, and we organized her drawers, and we dusted lots of her shelves and we had lots of fun stuff to do!

A lot of people said that they didn't want to go back to school, but five days is enough! Not six, or seven just five.
