We made a Family trip to the Hoggle zoo (Becca’s first time). We flew kite and did egg hunt, parades, Folkfest together, and Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners and present opening.

When Becca was born on July 1, 2003 to our son, David, and his wife, Amy, we became grandparents. It was so fun to hold a little one again and experience the joys of parenthood once more without all the stress and exhaustion of baby and child care. We thoroughly enjoyed being grandparents and loved the time that we got to spend with their children.

A special moment was when we tended three year old Becca until we could take her to the hospital to meet her new little brother, Logan. Three years later, we spent hours at the park with Becca and Logan as we waited to at last see their new little sister, Lexie. Other special times were birthdays, sledding on our hill, school and dance programs, baking cookies, playing games, picnics, parades, playing at the park, spending Pioneer Day and Christmas together, taking Becca to a fun Halloween play, and being there when Becca was baptized. We especially enjoyed taking Becca, Logan, and Lexie to the zoo and to the children’s museum and gardens at Thanksgiving Point,

We are glad that we got to share these special events with David and Amy’s family.  Being grandparents helped us to appreciate how special it is to be a part of a family.
