Weekend Update April 23-25

Todd has had a busy spring with lots of softball tournaments to run and organize so that leaves Reed and I to fend for ourselves, so on this tournament weekend we went to visit our Grandmas! Reed and I went to my mom's house Saturday afternoon and Reed stayed with her while I went down to visit my Grandma Thompson in Alva. For those that don't know I have taken on a challenge of organizing her photos and doing a heritage album(s) for her and for all of us. With the passing of my father, I've really reflected on what all Reed will miss by him not getting to hear his stories that I thought I better get all the family history that I can...plus I really love old pictures and heritage stuff! Grandma and I really had fun, at least I did!

Reed had fun with his Grandma too, we helped her plant her garden. Reed had his "buckick and spoon" to shovel the dirt into and go dump it somewhere that I'm sure grandma will find later! He helped to put the beans 'night-night' aka covering them with dirt and has been talking about it ever since.

He had so much fun, that the other day he asked if "my Ma come to my house to play in my room? pwwease, mom!" too bad Ma had school or I'm sure she would have been here!

I think a heritage album is the epitome of scrapbooking. Alot of tedious hard work, but all the stories you collect and interesting facts are priceless. Have fun and good luck.
