We went to visit our very dear Aunt Edith and Uncle James on New Years day. Uncle James got a new lap top and Dan was able to set him up with tons of programs. Now Uncle James can bring the lap top out for Aunt Edith to read the Blog. While Dan was helping Uncle James get used to his new toy, Aunt Edith kept Ashley and I company with great stories and memories of her life. She has an amazing memory.
We also had fun going through her old jewelry and scarves. Aunt Edith is such an amazing women and Uncle James is a great husband to her. I always enjoy hearing her speak of her past...she has so many fun stories.
This is Aunt Edith and Uncle James cake topper that went on their wedding cake....So neat!
Ashley and Tysen just kickin it!
Here is a quilt that my Mom made for my Aunt and Uncle as a wedding present. I took lots of pictures of the specific squares because my brothers and sisters wrote a little message on each one . It was fun to see their art work when they were young. It goes from Rebecca to Travis...Rebecca was 8, I think, and Travis was 10 months. Aunt Edith told us that her and Uncle James were engaged and married with in 2 weeks, I think, and that Mom was up really late finishing this quilt for them. She remembers being in the temple and looking over at Mom who was dozing off because she was so tired. Then Aunt Edith told us how much she admired mom and how much she appreciated this wonderful gift!
This was just so awesome for us to see.
Here is Ty-man with his Great, Great Aunt and Uncle! He had so much fun with Aunt Edith because she would clap and sing to him. He would laugh so hard when she would say "POP!" at the same time that he would bounce.
We had so much fun visiting! Aunt Edith and Uncle James, thank you so much for letting us come and spend the day with you! We can not express how much we love and cherish the time we are able to spend with you. You have blessed our lives more than you know.
