Ways that my mom and Oprah are alike: they both have dogs like this and pose with them haha. Also they are generous and funny and kind and look out for others and like to talk :).
Grandma Pam was Jack's favorite person ever in the month of December (and let's face it, probably a few other months as well) because she took him to watch BYU FOOTBALL! The Cougars came to Boise to play in the Potato Bowl, and Chuck was asleep and I was at work so Grandma Pam stepped up to the (very very cold) plate.
Hello cutest picture ever of Jack and Cosmo Cougar!!
Obligatory picture in front of the large potato haha:
Turns out it was hecka cold. And windy. And cold. Grandma did an excellent job of keeping the boys covered and warm and they seat hopped throughout the game to get to warmer and warmer spots haha.
Quick break from the wind! Clyde and Jack both loved watching the game.
That evening we attempted a picture of all four wee BYU fans with Grandma Pam, an esteemed alumni if there ever was one. Turns out my kids are ridiculous when it's time to smile nicely for pictures. WHO KNEW.
Couple more attempts....
We called this one a winner and moved one with our lives. Thanks so much mama for making Jack's cute little dream come true!!
We took a Christmas Even jaunt to see the lights in Caldwell:
Will looks like he just found out that it's Christmas Eve and hasn't started his shopping ... for anyone... at all... haha.
Me and my mommy!
Over Christmas break we all descended upon my mama's house. My brothers and I conspired and did the 'something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read' take on gifts for our parents this year which was really fun.
And of course Mom had plenty of help with that tricky wrapping paper and tape courtesy of grandkids :).
Quinn was facetiming Sam in. I have no idea what was said prior to this picture, but it must have been funny per Clyde's response haha.
This was the 'something to read' (along with a subscription to Deseret BookShelf + audio book service). My mom is absolutely the mother that Cody and Sam and Quinn and I have needed and continue to need. Pretty sure no one else could have handled us with the love and wisdom that she did!
Cousin fun at Grandma's house:
Leila, Carma, Pamela... aka my mama and the namesakes of her mama and grandma. Love it.
It's hiiiiighly possible that Quinn and I are weird.
It's hiiiiighly possible that Eden married Quinn and Chuck married me not knowing the full extent of our respective weirdness. Too late now, suckers!
To Grandmother's House we went, and from Grandmother's House we had to depart. Thanks for hosting us Mom!
