Griddlesticks.

The land of... Great Grandmas...
Green-ness everywhere...
aunt paigey's...
uncles and cousins....

countless pictures to pose for....
Jordy's insufficient attempts at snake elephant...
...Aunt Lace...
... a lot of swimming pool lounging...
...Puppies...
...Grandma.
Thanks to California, her sunshine and all her inhabitants who made us feel welcome there :) It was soooo good to see everyone- it had been a long time since we'd seen most of my siblings. It's crazy how time goes along with no shame and even speeds up, it seems, the older I get. I've missed being with the Havens clan as everyone seems to have congregated back to that blessed place and is growing up and getting older. It's quite nostalgic everytime we go visit now... just a place to visit...not home any more. While I love and cherish life as an adult with "my created" family and am getting more used to Utah, good ole' Gridley and everyone and everything there will always claim a good chunk of my heart. Thanks mom, gramma and pa and everyone!!! We miss you already.
