Grandma's house has SO many memories to last a lifetime, just a few, the pumpkin patch, the clothes line, the Schwann Ice cream truck, the barn in the back, the four wheeler rides with grandpa up to the cemetery, the sleepovers, the Thanksgiving dinners, the lovely front room how you could never step foot in there, the treat basket, the toys under the stairs, and SO much more. We will miss you forever grandma and the beautiful memories at you house!
Moms bedroom as she grew up. And the place that we slept when we came to grandma's house to sleepover many many times! We could smell breakfast every morning that we stayed there coming all the way up the stairs. We used make up so many stories in this room about the "blue boy". SO many memories.
And her the the steep stairs themselves with Macy & Boston coming down. We ALL used to slide down them just like this. We probably would have done it with our sleeping bags if grandma would have let us. (I think we did when she was not around) but you would crash into the wall as it was RIGHT at the bottom of the stairs. They were pretty steep as it was.
Grandma always had this fireplace going in the winter. We could never roast marshmallows or anything in it. The older I got she ended up replacing it with the "fake" wood. But in this room is where we would all gather together to watch T.V., play games, talk, laugh, this is where we would come and watch T.V. when grandma would pick us up from school if we were sick, she would pull the couch bed out and take such good care of us. Grandma would sit on the edge of her couch always knitting some kind of beautiful blanket, or in the kitchen making something delicious. But no matter what she was doing she seemed to always be in the conversation somehow. I loved everything about her.
Here is Bre & Corban sitting in these deep windows they had in all the bedrooms. They were fun growing up.
This is my tree that I gave to grandma when I was in 3rd grade. it was just a tiny little tree and look how big it got. Grandma was always so good to support us in everything and even take our trees we got from school and were SO excited about but had no place to plant them at home. She gladly took them. Her yard was always just beautiful!!! She truly was a second mom to us.
More of the fun stairs to all of us. And now here are the grandkids on the same stairs we all had fun on. Mckenley, Berkley, Macy, Daxton, and Boston.
The porch on the front of her house. She used to have a bench to sit on and beautiful potted flowers. This porch would "try" and collect box elder bugs but grandma would never let us happen. She was always working so hard to make everything just look SO beautiful ALL the time! And she was great at it.
