Our Grandma Joan

In memory of our favorite grandma Joan... you will truly be missed. Gotta love a woman who was a fighter, feisty,loved to shop for clothes in my closet, told you what she thought and best of all...raised a son who is the best dad I could ever ask for. Thanks Joan for the love, support, laughter,tears, and honesty in all things. You were an amazing hard worker, great cook, great grandma and most of all.....you started a generation of people and legacy that will work just as hard as you did in life, and for all this I am truly grateful I can say Joan you are the DAMN best!! See you on the otherside. Tell Clarence and Pearl we said HI....xoxo thanks gma...

OK besides the week Ivey was born in Feb. this was hands down the best week ever. Mark and I went to Breckenridge Colorado on a ski tripand stayed in an amazing ski in ski out penthouse. We had a blast, the Finleys and Hairs joined us and did I fail to mention NO KIDS...! My mom who rocks btw, watched my girls for us. They love her tons...so it was relaxing. I could take a nap whenever I wanted. This was for my 30th birthday...yes I turned 30 this year and Marks graduation. We had great snow, massages and the best part we needed it for our marriage. Its hard at times to focus on eachother when you got lil ones running around..well deserved trip..well worth it! Gotta make it a family vacation every year!!!!
