Flashback Friday is BACK!


Flashback Friday has been MIA for a bit, but I'm going to do better I promise! I thought this was a great picture for today. This was taken oh, 20 something (and don't ask exactly how many, I won't tell) years ago today. I have another picture of me helping to frost the cake...what kind of mom has the patience to let little ones frost a cake? Not me, I guess I have a really great mom! When we were done, there were little animals on it too. I remember my birthday always being the best day. I got to pick any cereal I wanted for breakfast, even the sugar ones and dinner was whatever I wanted. We always had cake and ice cream with all the Beckstrand family that was around. It was so fun to play with my uncles, the cousins my age didn't live close. Grandma and Grandpa Ainge always drove down from Spanish Fork and Grandma always had the funnest presents. There were 4 of us girls just 2 years apart, and after my birthday the other 3 usually knew what they would get for their birthdays that year. Lots of the time it was something Grandma had made, she was one talented lady. What good memories, I've really been missing my Grandma lately, and my Grandpa too, so I'm glad I have such good memories. Anyway, here's to another year and some GREAT memories!

6 nice, polite comments! (otherwise, don't bother!):
