Evelyn May Flagler

At 75 years old, she passed on January 11th, 2009 after a battle of liver cancer. She was the mother of 7 children, my mother being her first. She loved to crochet, make crafts, cake decorating, homemade candy and had the best caramels ever. She has 13 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. For a few summers during my younger years I would visit her for about a week and we would make candy and crafts together all week long in a little town called Rigby, ID. She lived alone for many years and was a big talker, she could talk for hours without getting tired. She may not have been the best example when it came to marriage, but she loved her family and her 7 children are successful and great people. I will miss my grandma and her funny quirks, but I am also glad that she is out of that miserable pain that cancer brings. Love and miss you grandma.

Fun Times with the Green's

Here are some of our adventures in Cali after Christmas. Josh's family made sure our 10 days at home were fun-filled every day and kept us very busy, which I loved!

This is at the railroad museum in downtown Sac.

Do we look like official railroad foamers? (people who LOVE trains so much they foam at the mouth)
Down in Monterey watching the ocean

One of the biggest aquariums in the US, it was cool.

The Jelly Belly Factory

My new favorite jellybean flavor- Confetti Cake. The cake I've had for my birthday for the last 23 years.

And can't forget about the dog- Napoleon. Isn't he cute?

We also visited Grandma Roskelley and family, went to see 7 Pounds and Yes Man, ate lots of food and junk, went and saw fireworks for New Years, ate more candy, played the Wii, harassed Tyler's girlfriend, had some chocolate, and are now officially trying to exercise and diet.
