Birthday wishes

I just got through reading Dawny's blog and the memories came flooding back and made me realize how much I miss my mommy. Some of my memories are that she used to call me Leana Esther Angel Eyre and when ever any one asked me my name I would repeat that and then say that I was beautiful just like my mommy. I remember the card games even when she didn't feel very good she would have us bring in the deck of cards and play on her bed. One time when we were playing on her bed it broke and she fell under the headboard and got stuck. We had a hard time getting her out of there because we were all laughing sooooo hard. She used to lay down on her bed with me to get me to take a nap and race me to sleep. Of course I would always beat her and then she would get up and leave me there. (I was pretty gullible because I fell for the same trick every time.) For lunch alot of times she would make some eggs and cheese just for her and me because every one else was gone to school and we would eat it right out of the pan. I still love eggs and cheese! The camping trips were the greatest. I remember one time when she went behind a big rock to tinkle and after she got her pants down and got all positioned she realized that she was right by the busy road and all the cars were going right past her. Camping in the old tent trailer was sooooo fun. Remember when we were going back east and it was raining allllll the time, but every time we stopped to set up the tent trailer the rain would stop just long enough for us to get it all set up and then it would start again. I think playing slap Jack when we were camping was always a blast. Even though we all ended up with sore fingers. She used to love to have us comb or brush through her hair. (that's where I got that from) And I used to sit on the couch and shave her legs for her. She was almost always in a good mood and she was the best mom any one could ask for. I love to wear her ring because I always remember her when I do. I love her very much and I really miss her!!!! Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

Man I am soooo late putting my list on here, but I guess it's better late than never, so here goes:

1. I LOVE CALVIN A. JACKSON!!!!!! I am soooo glad we will be together for all eternity!!

2. Camping has to be next. I love the mountains, I feel so close to my Heavenly Father there, I feel like he made the mountains just for me. ( Aren't you all glad I like to share.)

3. Grand kids are the very very best. I love having them run to me every time I get to see them, so I can scoop them up and give them the biggest squeeze ever!!! Some times I think that's what we were put here for. It really is joy in our posterity!!

4.Mexican food!!! Even though it is very fattening it is the best.

5. Being outside. Spring and summer are my favorite times of the year because I can be out and not freeze to death. I love playing in my yard and garden all day long.

6. I have to be sappy now and say that I love my Heavenly Father. I know he loves me beyond comprehnsion. And I just hope He knows that I love Him just as much!!!!!

This was a lot of fun. Thanks for tagging me. Now I don't know how to tag any one else so I'll just put my list of Tagees on here:

There now have fun, I can hardly wait to read them!!

This is strickly a "Brag-Blog". We got to have Natalie and Nate's 3 little cuties last weekend while they were playing in Salt Lake. We took them to McDonalds for happy meals and the play land, and boy did they have fun. It took them a little while to get started , but when they figured out how much fun they could have; they really got into it. Even Keagan figured out the slide and had a blast. Later that evening we fed the missionaries and that was very entertaining. Sara, Corbin, and Keagan all had them hoppin'. We all had a very good day and everyone slept like a log that night, except for the few times Keagan thought he was in his crib at home and fell out of bed half-way. It was kind of funny because I heard him crying and went in to check on him. He was on his back hanging out of the bed. His head was sitting on bed frame and he had a line all the way accross the top of his head from sitting there upside down. It only took a minute to get him back to sleep. But I slept on the couch for the rest of the night because I was just nervous about them sleeping o.k.

This weekend is quite cold again and I guess it's supposed to storm here until Tuesday so I guess I won't be going outside much. I hate being cold and I have cabin fever really bad. I WANT SPRING!!! Oh well, I do live in Utah right. I hope everyone is having a good Sunday.
