My Grandma was and is amazing. I have been thinking about her so much in the last 6 months and it has helped me realized how extremely disciplined and talented she really was. She passed away in 1994 when I was in second grade. I still remember that morning when my Mom woke me up when it was still dark outside and she explained that Grandma had passed away a few hours ago from a heart aneurysm. My Mom sat there and cried and held us. It was a sad day.
Last night for FHE we went through our goals for 2008 and discussed how we did. It was so fun to read that our number one goal for 2008 was that we wanted a healthy baby. We feel so blessed to have Grace Arlene in our little family. She is beautiful and healthy and we know that this is a blessing from our Heavenly father and a consequence of righteous heritage.

Grandma Arlene was passionate about her family and her callings. She was an amazing cook, and especially creative when it came to cake decorating. She managed my Grandpa's family practice, kept all the books, and managed to keep tabs on TEN rental properties they owned. She was insistent on eating leftovers and she made everything from scratch. Ornaments, clothes, quilts, cakes, canning, decorations, etc. she made everything.
I love her so much. I hope that Grace will grow up to be like her Grandma Arlene and her Grandma Grace.
