On Sunday May 4th, 2008 Grandma Margaret went to heaven to dance once again with Papa Stan.
In August of 2005 we received news that Grandma Margaret had Stage 4 Breast Cancer, we were unsure as to how long she had but none of us would have guessed that we would have her for 2 1/2 more years. Grandma was one to always worry about her family, she wanted to make sure everyone made it home safe and that all was well with everyone. Grandma never missed a birthday (that I know of) she had her little calendar next to her chair and she checked it religiously to make sure NO ONE was missed. Grandma also sent the best cards - She read each and everyone one several times to make sure they said exactly what she wanted to say! When Papa passed Grandma showed us how strong, courageous and independent she could be. Grandma truly enjoyed spending time with her family, playing cards with anyone who was willing to get beat and talking on the telephone (I come by it honestly!) I will miss my weekly phone call! Grandma you will truly be missed!
We love you and will miss you!
We will never forget you!
Rest in Peace!!
Love always, Jill, Rob, Josh, Brad, Emmalee, Jim and Phyllis

We had a wonderful Easter Weekend and Day filled with fun, friends, family and faith! As you saw on Friday we colored Easter eggs with Aunt Sarah and Hunter.
On Saturday we joined Aunt Sarah and Hunter for breakfast and then we went to a community Easter Egg Hunt at Gilbert High School.
Wendy (Emmalee's babysitter) and her daughters Heavin and Hailey met us there for some fun! It was a beautiful day (a little warm) but we all had a wonderful time.
As you can see they even had bouncies - one was just the right size for Emmalee, she did not want to leave once she figured out it was okay to bounce. She has been in them before but it has been with her older brothers - this time she was on her own.

- I don't know how she knew it was something to eat but she did.
Daddy gave her a whole peanut butter chocolate egg and she loved every bite of it.
Papa Jim, Nana Phyllis came over and helped cook and clean.
Kelly (my cousin on my Mom's side of the family) and her husband Justin along with one of our best friends - Dennis and the boys joined us for dinner- We had nine in all. It was a very nice day, we had dinner outside on the back patio - the weather was wonderful! I have to say the Ham turned out fantastic. We hope you had a wonderful Easter!!!

We then decided to color Easter Eggs.... again Emmalee was not sure what to do but soon figured it out.
Look at all of the pretty colors Mom - she even decided that she and I needed to be colored Blue! 
Emmalee's favorite color was whatever color she could get her hands on. Hunter did a wonderful job of mixing colors and then putting sticker eyes on the eggs.
Papa Jim even joined us and wore a few colors.
Emmalee really wanted to eat the colors - she saw the spoons we were using and thought they meant she could eat. Papa Jim made sure Emmalee's tongue did not turn colors!
All of our beautiful Easter Eggs! Now we just have to wait for the Easter Egg Hunt!!!
After we colored Easter Eggs, We got the bubbles out and had some fun!!!!Hunter blowing lots of bubblesHunter helping Emmalee blow bubbles!!
Happy Easter! Love Jill, Rob, Josh, Brad, Emmalee, Papa Jim, Nana - Hunter and Sarah
I spent some time playing with my brother Bradley - He was having a lot of fun playing with bubbles!!!
Emmalee thought the bubbles were great but could not understand why she could not catch them.
