Thanksgiving Tradition

One of my memories that sticks out the most about Thanksgiving, besides being with my family, is my mom ALWAYS making my grandma's amazing rolls. They are honestly AMAZING :) This last weekend we went out and helped my mom make them, Hazen had a blast rolling out the dough.. and Ethan, well, he basically just played guys the whole time, but he loved being out there. As for me, I didn't do much :) But I always love spending time with my amazing mom. Maybe one day I will attempt to make them myself.. Turkey Day 3 days and counting...

They SAY it's your BIRTHDAY!! :)

What a better way to get the WHOLE family together than to celebrate Kado's birthday!! Friday night we all got together at mom's house and had cheesecake, and then Saturday we all got together again to eat. It was so fun to see everyone...
I can't believe my baby brother is 20!! Where does time go? I am so happy we got to see him on his birthday!! I love him so much, he is such a good kid, and I am so proud of him:) My kids absolutely love their "Uncle Hulk", cuz he has muscles inside of his muscles ha ha
Friday night ALL the brothers and sisters went and saw 2012 together. It was so fun to get everyone together, it rarely happens anymore!! I just have to say I am truly blessed to have the best family on EARTH. I know everyone thinks that they do, but I really do :) I have amazing brothers and sisters, and love them all so much:)
So cute... love the cheesy smiles!
Mom, Kado, and Lorell

They named a park after him...

My Grandpa is such an amazing guy, he has always been such a good example to me and my whole family in general. Tonight we were able to attend the meeting where it was announced that they will name a park in his honor... ...whereas, his faithful dedicated service has resulted in countless memories cherished by those children who have now grown into productive and healthy adults as a result of his influence.. (this was part of the proclamation they read)
Grandpa, Mom , and her siblings..
Jason, Cole & Haze, Ethan, Grandpa, Me, Mack and Tai.. Not a great pic, but hey it was the only one that worked... :)

I just have to say I have so many wonderful memories of my grandpa, and especially remember the days of Grasshopper with my cousins, when he taught us all the sport of Baseball. What an amazing man, I am so proud to call him my grandpa :) We love you!!

The things they do for fun.....
