Grandma Snyder


This post is dedicated to my Grandma- Virginia Mae Snyder (passed away September 15, 2008).

Grandma lived for 87 wonderful years. She was born in Hadley, Michigan on April 20, 1921. She was a wonderful Christian woman, who loved her church family and was active in many activities. She loved her family more than anything and was so proud of her children and grandchildren. Grandma never missed an event--graduations, weddings, birthday parties, etc. She made it everywhere! In her last years, she mostly enjoyed sitting in the background just watching and listening to all the fun and laughter! I was always impressed by what she could do at her age. She learned to e-mail in her 80s! Those were some of my favorite messages when almost the entire e-mail message was in the subject line! Grandma gave strength to those around her even though she never felt she was strong herself.

Grandma- I am so excited for you to be with the Lord! I know that you are up in Heaven smooching on Grandpa! I cannot wait for the day when we can be reunited again. Until then, I want to follow in your footsteps...I promise to be the best mother to your great-grandchildren and the best daughter to your daughter. I also promise to live my life like you did yours....Following and loving God with all my heart and soul and devoting my life to my family.

Little Squeaker


Tonight Jim and Carol came over to babysit, so Brent and I could go out. They brought him a gift--yes he is SOOO spoiled! Anyways, it was a new pair of shoes. We put them on his feet and noticed a strange sound. These shoes have little squeakers inside them that make them squeak every time he takes a step! It was absolutely hilarious to watch him stomp, stomp his feet on the ground to hear the sound!! Annoying??? Not too bad...we'll see if I'm saying that in a few weeks

What up-day 1...

Okay. I may be totally out of my league here by starting this blogging thing, but I thought I'd give it a try. I enjoy reading other's blogs, but maybe people won't enjoy reading mine?! I apologize ahead of time if you find this boring.... I just plan on posting family pics and sharing some stories stories!! Please give me your feedback and post comments!
