On Friday I tagged along with my mom and went to beautiful Heber Valley to wish my Grandma a happy birthday. I have always loved Heber. I have so many wonderful memories of this place. My mom and dad both grew up in Heber and I have many extended family members that live there. My grandparents use to have this little farm house that I will never forget. We use to spend so much time getting 3-wheeler (yes 3-wheeler, not 4-wheeler) rides around the farm, chasing all the stray cats that my grandma would continue to feed and watching my cousin Cobi throw them in the air telling us that they always land on their feet (you were so mean Cobi). Eating the Schwan man push-ups, rainbow bread and a yummy strawberry dessert that my grandma would make when she knew I was coming (I love strawberries). Watching Pa feed the cows, (this didn't happen very much because we were all so scared of him). I remember whenever grandma would start running the bath water it would mean Pa would be coming in soon from milking the cows and we would do our best to leave the room, we were somewhat afraid him. Now he loves to sit and talk and is more of a sweet teddy bear. The memories could go on and on, but I don't want to bore you. Anyway, my grandparents sold their little farm house a while ago and built a house across the street, Coop calls it the "big white house." It has this HUGE, beautiful yard that the kids love to play in and my memories continue to grow.
It is always so good to go and visit my grandparents, they crack me up. They are both such hard workers and my grandma is a wonderful cook, she always has something yummy for us to eat, and Friday was no exception from that. :)

Another snap shot of Peiton, she was in the mood to pose.
I hope that my kids will build their own memories of my grandparents house. A place that they will remember as a fun, loving place to go. I think the memories are already starting because they had a great time on Friday.

Those pictures are super cute. You are so lucky your grandparents are still around to visit with. I'll bet the love it when you come with the kids!
Your grandparents are so sweet, I grew up in the same ward as them. My parents know them well and all of your relatives. Its such a small world. Love the pics of the kids and you.
That was a cun post to read...I love hearing about yall's memories up there, Casey always tells me a new one everytime we go there!
Your family is so cute! I love Heber too, I would love to live there. Hope all is well I havent seen you forever. Your blog is darling as usual.
I love the pics of Peiton--she loves to smile. Cute little gal.
What a fun trip, visits like that are always the most memorable...especially when spent with grandparents.
Cute pics of Pei Pei, she is getting so big! (They grow too fast!)
I love Heber! Your mom and grandma look a lot alike. How cool is it that our kids get to know our grandparents. Both my mom's and dad's grandparents were gone before I was born.
Your such a kiss up nat, no wonder you are everyone's favorite. Catmules is a joke, because our bishop used to call us the catmules whenever he said our last name so everyone in the ward calls us that..so courtney does know how to spell my name.
Nice scrapbookin'!
Love the new blog look . . . so fun!
