Moving Day

Today was a bitter sweet day. I went to my Grammy's house in SLC to help clean and get rid of her things. She moved into an assisted living home this past week. My mom, aunt, cousin and I were ciphering through her things, deciding whether it was trash, DI, or a keep item. My grandma lived in her home for more than 50 years, so there was a lot of stuff. For lunch, we went down to my grammy's new place. It seems like a great place for her, she has her own living area and is able to do a lot of fun things with the residents. (Karly, I took some photos for you to see her place!)




Afterward my mom and her siblings decided who got what. It turned out really well. All in all the day was a success. I really hope my Grammy is happy at her new place, we all love her so much.

After a long day, my mom and I met up with the Hansen's for dinner. We went to a yummy Mexican restaurant, La Cocina. It was free margarita night, so we all indulged!


Spencer for some reason loves to eat salsa-plain....here he is eating his salsa out of his bowl...

After dinner we went back to their house and hung out. We had a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Mom Linda!

Today is my fabulous mother-in-law's birthday! We've decided that we don't like to use the term in-law because it sounds too formal...so my mom's birthday is today. Benton and I love her very much and are so glad she is in our lives, we don't know what we'd do without her. For me personally, she is the best! I am so glad I married Benton, so that I could become really close to her. I can call her up anytime and just talk to her. I am so lucky to be able to have such a close relationship where we hang out together, whether that's going to a movie, dinner or just hanging out at her house and talking. I always hear talk from others saying how they can't stand their "mother-in-law" and I always think of how blessed I was to end up with her, because we get along so well.
We celebrated her birthday last Saturday. All of us kids threw her a surprise birthday party. She was shocked, she thought us girls were taking her to get pedicures, and instead we had about 40 of her close friends and family celebrate her life. We made Cafe Rio salads, which were delicious and all just sat and talked with one another. It was a great surprise.
Mom and her kids.....

Here we are, me and the Birthday girl...

And some more fun pics....



We love you Mom, Happy Birthday!!!

I love Spencer!

Chelsie and Spencer came over for our weekly get together. While Chelsie went to go get her hubby, I spent some time with Spencer. We had just made some chocolate chip cookies, which Spencer really enjoyed. He is at such a fun age, tons of smiles and laughs. I love him so much!

Knee Update

Well it's been over a week and Benton is doing really well. He has been going to physical therapy twice a week and does exercises everyday from home. I know it's been hard for him to sit home all day, he's very active and always likes to be doing things. Here are some pictures of his knee; beware they are kinda yucky!
