I'll miss you Grandma....

Today October 30th 2009, my grandma Lowery passed away.
Even though we go threw times in our lives that we do not see our grandparents, we always remember them for the things we did and memories we made when we were young. As a child, grandparents mean the world to us. As we grow up, we grow distant from them. Then they pass away, and we have regret.......
Over the past 3 years, I have lost my Grandpa Flores, my Grandma Cranston, and now my Grandma Lowery. It never gets easier. Death is such a sad thing to face. Although I have such different memories with each grandparent that passes, I am so thankful that i have those memories and i will always cherish each one of them.
In the midst of my sadness today, I also want to rejoice in the fact that my grandma as well as all of the grandparents i have lost.....are now in heaven with God. I know that one day I will see them all again and in that, we can not just be sad, but celebrate the life they had as well as the new "painless" life they now live in heaven.

In Memory of my Grandma Berta Lowery..............

Car/Air Show

Today we went to a car/air show at the Naval base in Los Alamitos. It was hot, but....we had fun. It was really cool to see all the old cars and we were able to go in to some of the aircraft's they had there. The boys went rock climbing and had shaved ice. What can be better then that for a couple of boys.
Cars, planes, rock climbing, and shaved ice........... LOL!

Lauren's Birthday

Saturday we went to Lisa's for Lauren's Birthday. We also celebrated Ben's which is next week. Rudy made GREAT food as always and we had a good time. Lauren got some dress up high heel shoes and came out with heels on and no pants. It was so cute!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

On Friday, we went to Barnes and Noble and the boys got to get an autograph from the writer of their favorite books. "Diary of a Wimpy kid"
Our friends got tickets early in the morning, so we were lucky enough to be in the first group to get signings AND ONLY HAD TO WAIT AN HOUR AND A HALF! :)
I could NOT imagine being in the 2nd, 3rd, or even the 6th group! UGH! It was crazy, but the boys were sooo excited.

Pumpkin Patch 2009

The boys and I went to the Pumpkin Patch tonight. Jason is sick and we wanted to get out for a while. They had so much fun. I forgot how much fun the pumpkin patch can be. I love this time of year!

Chris got Glasses!

As sad as I was that Chris had to get glasses, It is a good thing for him.
It will really help him in his reading. He has struggled for so long in reading and comprehension, who knew.....He couldn't see! :(
He looks soooo cute still!
