It arrived today and in it was a beautiful apron along with this note from Granny:<br /><br />"Brooke,<br /><br />I know you remember the e-mail on aprons and you haring your memories of aprons. After that I decided I wanted to find you an apron from the past. After looking for a while, I found this one that was made by Nana years ago. I know she used it before it came to me. I remember using it on a number of Christmas days.<br /><br />It looks used and has some stains, but I wanted you to have it, maybe not to use, but you could hang it in your kitchen for Christmas. Think of the stains as turkey gravy stains, from those many Christmas Dinners our family has shared.<br /><br />I hope you have a w0nderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year.<br /><br />With much love and memories, Granny, Christmas 2009"<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkqIozg-W-sX61ig7bU_8DaQ58FBQyxR8RW9Vn7vrIT1Y53096ioVDD4HzXT-AXZeqXrcPsPRimk_XC1dCj94v61r3UuFfr8TFH38A84zfF6iaOO7c4Lci0q5-Qg7TLJS9uR3E_yxyd-3Z/s1600-h/12.21.2009+Presents+from+Granny.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417852781159222514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkqIozg-W-sX61ig7bU_8DaQ58FBQyxR8RW9Vn7vrIT1Y53096ioVDD4HzXT-AXZeqXrcPsPRimk_XC1dCj94v61r3UuFfr8TFH38A84zfF6iaOO7c4Lci0q5-Qg7TLJS9uR3E_yxyd-3Z/s400/12.21.2009+Presents+from+Granny.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17078552268443929445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500050314564981845.post-44891035920655799962009-12-18T14:14:00.000-08:002009-12-19T14:21:36.193-08:00Latke's 12.18.2009I made latke's for the last night of Hanukkah!

Sad as it is that she is not here with us, it's more sad that she's not here for me to give her hell about being 60. People with parents still alive, PLEASE, give them a hard time!! ;) </p><p align="left">Okay, in all seriousness, tonight will be the seventh year that Chad, Carson and I have gone to 7-11 for Slurpees to remember her. She loved slurpees and as her cancer treatments progressed and became harder, they were something that she could always enjoy. Chad and I always like to guess what flavor she would get if she were with us. </p><p>I've always maintained that just because she has passed away, I will not pretend that she is or was perfect, as people tend to do once someone passes away, though she was pretty close, in my opinion. It still makes me mad that she broke a part of my stove while cooking a dinner I begged her not to cook, after I had Carson. She and I got in a fight nearly every time we went to University Mall because she couldn't stand the way I dressed and couldn't understand why I didn't like the things she liked. However, as time goes on, I do find myself thinking of her in a different way; not perfect, just with more understanding. I think this would have happened whether or not she had passed away or not. Simply a part of me growing up and seeing things through an adult's eyes. </p><p>Some things about my mom, in no particular order: </p><p>1. Her real name is Vivian. All of you who knew Beth Rowland, guess what. She's Vivian Elizabeth. </p><p>2. She was an amazing cook, which is probably why I have to spend much time at the gym now. </p><p>3. She loved being a wife and mother. </p><p>4. When I was first married, she would call me and say she was going to the grocery store and did I want to come along? Then, she'd buy everything in my cart. It was awesome. </p><p>5. She was supportive of me, even when I joined a weird religion and got married in a building that she couldn't come into. </p><p>6. Her son-in-law loves her. </p><p>7. She sang beautifully. </p><p>8. She loved Christmas and was a huge gift giver! </p><p>9. She enjoyed teaching school and was an awesome teacher, but she LOVED working at the travel agency after she retired from teaching. </p></div>Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17078552268443929445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500050314564981845.post-68642316079238605862009-12-13T11:53:00.000-08:002009-12-17T12:07:47.762-08:00Sundance 12.13.2009Due to some cabin fever, we headed out in a snowstorm to see what was happening up at Sundance.

He is such an amazing little boy, with a huge heart and a big brain! He keeps us on our toes and definitely keeps us laughing.<br /><br />I am proud of the young man he is becoming and that I have been able to be his mother.<br /><br />I love that he loves legos, reading and making people laugh. He enjoys being with people, but is happy alone as well. His lego creations amaze me as does his sense of humor.<br /><br />His reading group at school is starting to read Harry Potter today and he is so excited for that! I am proud that he enjoys reading; my Mom would be happy about that too!Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17078552268443929445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500050314564981845.post-25353734312940186072009-11-09T06:33:00.000-08:002009-12-17T11:49:22.401-08:00Photoless WeekendOne, two or all three of us did the following this weekend:<br /><br />Built a fence (and demolished the old one) ~ bought and installed a dog door ~ Cleaned out the garage ~ Visited TWO libraries ~ Watched "The Absentminded Professor" and "Where the Red Fern Grows" ~ Ran 10 Miles (straight) ~ Bought groceries ~ Watched Alabama beat LSU ~ Grilled hamburgers and hot dogs (I also had baked beans and potato salad, but the boys didn't) ~ 5 loads of laundry ~ Read magazines ~ Relaxed on the couch ~ Went for a walk on the Provo Trail ~ Helped a neighbor fix his car ~ Had suckers and caramel at Sundance ~ Raked up all the leaves in the front yard ~<br /><br />No photos...just wonderful memories.Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17078552268443929445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500050314564981845.post-894302094195860082009-11-04T09:22:00.000-08:002009-11-04T09:42:01.435-08:00I am Thankful 11/4/2009Today, I am thankful for my husband. Well, I am actually thankful for him every day, but today I am writing about it. Here's just 10 of the many reasons, in no particular order, that I am thankful for my husband:<br /><br />1. He rubs my back, nearly every night.<br /><br />2. He is a hard worker and an honest person.<br /><br />3. He loves his son with all of his heart.<br /><br />4. He supports me in my desire to have a career.<br /><br />5. He washes the dogs. Always.<br /><br />6. He thinks I'm pretty cool.<br /><br />7. He is the person I can tell all of my thoughts to, no matter how silly, weird or even mean they may be, and he still thinks I'm okay.<br /><br />8. He supports me in the things I love to do.<br /><br />9. He warms my towel up while I shower when it's really cold in the winter.<br /><br />10. He picks me up a soda on his way home from work.<br /><br />I love you Chad!Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17078552268443929445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500050314564981845.post-86552668228213191762009-11-03T08:00:00.000-08:002009-11-03T08:03:56.941-08:00I am Thankful 11/3/2009Today, I am thankful for my commute. My commute is 2 miles each way. I also go early in the morning and come home early in the afternoon, so any type of traffic that could be encountered in a 2 mile stretch is not encountered by me!<br /><br />When we bought our home in 2006, it was pretty much the only house available in our price range that we would consider moving into. It just so happened that it was *very* close to my work - bonus! <br /><br />Although I "enjoyed" my commute from Payson, for the time spent talking with Carson each morning and afternoon, and the many, many books on CD we listened to together, I am thankful that at this point in my life, I don't even have time to listen to two songs before I am parking at work and heading off for another day in my cubicle!Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17078552268443929445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500050314564981845.post-23719356178985812072009-11-01T07:51:00.000-08:002009-12-17T12:12:10.094-08:00I am Thankful 11/01/2009Today I am thankful that Halloween is over! I know I should start off with "family", "friends" or "my son" or "my husband", but truly, today I feel most thankful that Halloween is over.<br /><br />I have described my feelings about Halloween in the past (even recently) as "indifference" rather than "dislike", but I think it is time that I own up to the fact that I really do dislike Halloween. Adding to the "indifference" is the fact that Carson really doesn't care all that much about Halloween. Where the kids really like to show off is at school and at church, and they can't wear masks or face paint to either of those places. Not that I don't get the reasoning, and I also support it, but it makes it hard to have a really awesome costume!<br /><br />Also adding to the "indifference" is that Carson is getting much older. Sure, it was fun when he was 1, 2, 3 even 4 and 5 to dress him up all cute and take him around to see family members. So, next year, we are trying something different. Our friends, the Orchards, that live in Bountiful, have a Halloween party each year. We're going to go to that party and see if we can get in the spirit a little more. Here's to Halloween '10!Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17078552268443929445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500050314564981845.post-75419998575687972672009-10-27T07:07:00.000-07:002009-10-27T15:39:54.938-07:00So Many Blessings<div>We emptied our blessings jar during dinner tonight and took turns reading them.
