We went to Sandy, Utah for my grandpa's 85th birthday over Memorial Day weekend. As we all loaded into the car, Sawyer was having a screaming fit for the third time in a 24 hour period so we stopped by the Doc-in-the-box on the corner and found out that he had his first ear infection. We filled a prescription before we hit the road and for the most part...he did a great job. I remember having bad ear infections when I was small and they were highly unpleasant! We set up our new-to-us camping trailer in my grandparent's driveway and camped out there for the weekend. The kids loved it and it gave us a quiet place to nap while the chaos of the Anderson family was all around.
For the months prior to the party I worked tirelessly on two projects to present to my grandpa for his birthday. I think someone should stop me before I endeavor to do something like this again! It took a lot of effort to gather everyone's pictures and messages for the Grandpa book, but then, after grandpa opened it, I guess the effort was worth it. He really liked the book. Then I drew pictures and compiled some stories to make coloring books for all the posterity. That also turned out nice and grandpa and the kids all thought it was pretty special. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful grandfather. He means the world to me and I am glad we were able to attend this event. It was wonderful to see most of my very large family there and to share with one another. I love you Family!!!!

Thanks again for your work on the album. I am currently attempting to use that company your Dad told us about to import my blog and get it printed. It took a bit of getting used to, but I like it now - I'll let you know how it looks once I get it printed.
