A Great Mentor

For a while now a lot of us in the family have been taking turns taking dinner twice a week to Jasons grandparents (Who i've completely adopted as my own grandparents by the way). They like us to stay and eat with them which is great! One night after we finished eating Grandma said "mandy lets go paint!" I was so happy she was feeling good enough to paint that I just couldn't say no. For those of you who don't know Jasons Grandma she is an AMAZING painter! She herself would never tell you that, but really she is! Me on the other hand not so much LOL! I have not painted since art class in high school, and that is the only time in my whole life I have ever painted. In my defense I told her that from the beginning. She said don't worry just have fun with it and I will give you tips when you need them. so I said ok and we went to work. It was so much fun! The next few times I went over to their house grandma and I painted together... What a treat for me to spend that time with her! It is something I will never forget! Love you so much Grandma!

This is nothing compared to Grandma's paintings but here is my finished product. Grandma didn't finsh a painting she just worked a little bit on a few paintings she had started a long time ago. When she finishes one of them I will post pictures.

End Of Summer Update

I have completely been neglecting my blog all summer! I know, I know I should be more on top of it. I will do my best to keep up on it now I PROMISE! Since I haven't posted anything for a while here is what we have been up to.....
It has been one busy but TOTALLY FUN summer... we have been camping a few times (which is always great), went to oregon for our anniversary, went to spokane to visit my family a couple times (jas only got to with me once), went to salt lake to visit jasons sister and see my brother while he was there visiting his family (again jas didn't get to go with me :( gotta love retail... NOT!!!), and we took a drive up to redfish lake (which is so amazing!), and in between just worked and spent time with family and friends. All in all it has been a great summer and I'm sad it's over....

I'm too tired tonight but i will be posting A BUNCH of pictures very soon~
