Grandma G's

Grandma Gibson and me

Traden, Amber's oldest son, with Grandma

caught ya! Derek, Amber's youngest son, kept sucking his toes


My cousin Amber and I went to see Grandma Gibson in Hurricane, Utah (which is pronounced hurriken...don't you just love good ol' southern Utah?).  Amber brought her three fun boys; I even got to eat their treats with them in the car :).  Grandma Gibson is doing great, thanks to Aunt Cathy who's been helping her do exercises everyday, get the care she needs, and having her do as much as she can for herself.  I loved seeing Gma again!  I lived with her for part of the week when I was working at the hospital in St. George and going to SUU in Cedar City, before my mission in October of 2008.  We'd eat chocolate together out of her sweet stash when I'd come home from work and I'd tell her and Grandpa crazy stories from the hospital.  She'd always make sure I was warm and well fed, then we'd watch TV shows with Grandpa; "The Lawrence Welk Show" and "Mash".  I was usually so tired from my 12 hour shift that I'd fall asleep.  I even remember catching Grandma getting up before me, about 5 am, to turn up the heat so I'd be warm when I crawled out of bed. It touched me how she cared about a little thing like that.  I definitely have the best Grandma.

  1. I remember Grandma doing a similar thing for me only it was the A/C not the heater.
