Remembering Grandma

Well with mother's day yesterday it's a good time to say thanks to my mom, Debbie, and my mother-in-law Debra (A.K.A. MiMi & GiGi)! What wonderful, Godly women. They both do so much to help me and my family, I can't imagine life without them.

It was, however, a rough Mother's Day weekend for Damon and his family. His grandmother Betty Johnson passed away on Tuesday evening. He and his parents flew out yesterday to be at the funeral today. Damon was very close to his grandparents, they lived in San Diego and were at every soccer, baseball, and football game he was in. Damon told a cute story of when he and his brother, Adam, went to their house to play. They were about 8 & 5, and grandma gave them foam rubber bats to play with it. It didn't take the "Johnson boys" long to figure out if you picked the rubber foam off, there were really cool hard metal sticks underneath. They were beating each other in the front yard with the sticks and grandma came out and grabbed them both by the arm and drug them in the house! Not much has changed with those two!

Betty was a wonderful caring woman, very artistic, great cook, fun grandma, and an overall joy to be around. She will be greatly missed!
