HAPPY 78TH B-DAY GRANDMA

Happy 78th birthday to my grandma! Grandma Irene. Grandma is know all across the united states for her great cooking! She is the best cook you'll ever meet! Grandma has had so many people from around the globe visit her kitchen and taste her delicious food! My favorite well one of my favorites is grandma clam chowder yummy yummy! I'm telling you grandma can cook any type of food from Mexican,Italian,Japanese, anything actually! If u teach here how to make something she ends up making it better than the one who taught her! It's just so weird.... she has magic hands... no not really but the Lord has blessed here and gave here such an amazing talent in cooking! she's cooked for preachers, missionary's, evangelist, district superintends let me tell u she's just cooked for so many people! When people come to Sanger they always want to be invited to Sis. Irene's house just for her good ole cooking and also to see my beautiful grandma! I love my grandma and have so many fond memories of her: like when I had my oldest son she drove all the way to San Diego to see him and than she took me shopping she bought me a swing,diaper genie,clothes and so much other stuff and grandma was the first one to bathe nathaniel in his baby tub! When I had my youngest matthew grandma went to the hospital and waited there till I had him and when I got home grandma went to my very 1st apartment and brought all kinds of gift for matthew she also bought something for nathaniel she didn't want to leave him out.... I saw grandma go into the kitchen and what did she have yes my favorite: clam chowder she called me to eat and oh yes how delicious it was! My grandma loves all her grandchildren very much.. but since this is my blog I'm just talking about me and grams... When I was a young girl I use to go to visit grandma in the bay area cause that's where she lived... and she would have so many activities for me and my other family that was there and each night she would cook our favorite meal and of course we all got to pick our favorite mine of course was anything to do with sea food and grandma knows I love sea food after dinner the girls would clean up after the boys(grandma is very old school) girls would clean up boys would throw the trash and then she would take us for dessert at our favorite ice cream shop FETENS ICE CREAM it was the best Ice Cream ever!! Grandma never missed a grandparents day and she always got a gift for having the most grandchildren and for coming the farthest!!!! I love my grandma so much and am so happy she's still around going strong driving her beautiful LEXUS yip grandma has style even @ 78.....

Grandma has 9 children

Grandma has 19 grandchildren

Grandma has 19 great grand children and one on the way

Grandma has one great great grand child and one on the way

Grandma has been serving the Lord for 78 years! She got baptize in Jesus name when she was 15 years old! Grandma has been faithful and the Lord has blessed her abundantly!

shopping...

Webster's definition-shopping:to visit stores for purchasing or examining goods.

rita's definition- being dragged up and da the mall by your 11 year old and 8 year old. did I mention there boys...

well school will be starting here in Sanger in 11 days so today I told my boys we would go school shopping and that is what we did! It was a all day thing going from one store to another back and forth back and forth to mom do u like this what do you think? I would kindly reply yes son that's nice u decide your going to where it! well after ever time nathaniel asking mom what do you think I was getting perrty bugged I was thinking if you like it just get it quit dragging me all around the place just get what you like! but of course I couldn't tell him that i just would smile and say yes nate that's really nice! there was this mother there she looked all mad and was yelling litterly yelling at her son i was like OK lady calm down nate and i looked at her and we both kinda chuckled:) my youngest was a piece of cake he was like this shirt this shirt whew look at this pants never asked my opinion just made his decisions even went to the shoe store with my mom know to him as nana had the shoes picked out and waiting on the counter for of course mom to buy$$$$ well we had fun after the many hours we were at the mall I looked at mom and said and you had 5 kids how did you do it? she laughed I don't know.... Well my youngest is completely done and my oldest well we have to go back mom just had to come home and rest so until Monday!!!! On the way home nathaniel thanked me for buying him the things i bought him and matthew repeated thanx mom! I smiled and thought well at least there thankful....

CAMPING 2008

I'm tired:/

the only picture of me and i took it!lol...

getting ready to go fishing!

I caught a worm...
Never to old to play in mud!


setting up...

Well were back from our weekend of camping and I got to say, "we had a blast!" from fishing to swimming,roasting marshmallow by the campfire making the famous "SMORES!" ect. we had such a fun time with all of the family! It was nice the 3 days we were there and when I'm talking camping I'm not talking cabin or 5th wheel trailer.... I'm talking tent's flashlight,lanterns da wild! It was such a memorable time with our children and the others that were there my kids had so much fun and watching them just made my time so much more better! it was nice to enjoy the creation that God alone molded with his hands! It was nice laying down at night and hearing the water from the river flowing how relaxing! On Sunday it was time to leave and come back home and when we got into the valley my cell phone went of i Had 7 messages and like 15 missed calls!!! I thought," I guess I'm back in Sanger. what a wonderful place to be!"lol...
