Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

My Grandparents 50th Anniversary Celebration

My grandparents celebrated their 50th anniversary this summer. They celebrated with a float in the morning parade (for the corn festival) and a party that evening.

The girls on the float. (Yes, this was the best picture I could find of the two of them.)

Most of the grandchildren in this picture. I came on the float later, even though I wasn't planning on it. I sat next to my Grandpa. The seat of honor. :)

Me and My girls.

Aunt "Candy" as the girls like to call her. She received her nickname at the hand of Emily. I have no idea why she started it. She was saying Mandy just fine. Here she is with Becca on the float.

Yummy!

Rebecca who wanted NOBODY else except Mommy.

Best "Sister Friends" is what Emily started calling the pair of them. I LOVE it and have continued to use the term.

Lots of fun. And definitely WAY past overdue to post. I loved celebrating my grandparents' anniversary with them. They are a fabulous example to my family. Love you tons, Grandma and Grandpa!
