Last Sunday my family had our monthly birthday dinner - get together and also our annual white balloons to heaven for Grampa Kent.

Each of my grandchildren write a note to their grampa, letting him know what is going on in their lives or thoughts that they have. They tie it to a white balloon.
Everyone is ready to let their balloons go all at the same time....
The kids love to watch how fast the balloons rise higher and higher until at last they are so high they are out of sight and in their Grampas hands.

On Tuesday it was my youngest grandson Tylers "8th" birthday.
He is such a sweetheart and so fun to be around.


Also on Tuesday was the anniversary of Kent's passing 6 years ago. It is wonderful to have Tyler's birthday on that day so I can think of something happy. It seems like forever that I have been without Kent and then it seems like yesterday that he was here. He loved his grandchildren & children so much and if he could read the letters they all write, he would be so proud of each one of them and their accomplishments.
Just us at one of the monthly family gatherings.. Love that man !
I have been busy for several weeks creating and putting together items for 2 craft fairs that my daughter Kristan and my daughter-in-law Karen & I are participating in. One in Utah the second weekend in November and the other here in Phoenix the first weekend in December.
I have made:
Wooden plaques with sayings and words on them
Baby Books in two sizes 6x6 & 8x8
Wedding albums
Disney albums
Disney autograph books
Calendars
Birthday albums
Christmas albums
Mini books
Holiday Clocks
Holiday planners
Princess albums
Maternity album (getting ready)
Here are some of the things I have been working on.

Among so many other things, Kent was the ULTIMATE fantastic brother-in-law!! One of my favorite memories of him is when you two were dating and he pulled into the A&W where I was a car-hop and when I waited on him he could tell I had been crying (my creepy boss had yelled at me;) when Kent left, he gave me a $10 TIP!!! What a sweet and thoughtful guy---or he was trying to score points with you :0)---I loved him from that day forward!!!!
