Herbie's B-day '08

Jeremy's grandpa and grandma live in Utah so we get to see them often. We had a birthday dinner for him to celebrate before he went in for surgery on his back. It's a good thing we live so close to them becaue Herb was in the hospital for 6 weeks! Jeremy had to drive his grandma to the hospital every morning and then we would pick her up at night and either take her home or bring her over to my parents for dinner and then drive her home. Jeremy didn't get a lot of work done during those 6 weeks between driving to the hospital twice a day, us visiting, and going to the Dr. appointments at the hospital. However, Jeremy was glad to be able to help out. Herb and Genive are like his second parents as they had a huge part in helping raise him.

My mom had a neat idea of making Herb a book complied of everyones' thoughts and memories about him. Jeremy emailed his family and asked them to write something that they wanted to about Herb. Once they emailed them in we printed them out on colored paper, added stickers etc. and put them in a binder. He enjoyed reading all the great memories and funny stories everyone contributed!

Herb is one of a kind...he really is a genuine, generous, down to earth, honest and kind man! I am lucky that he has been such a big influence in Jeremy's life because he has been a great example of how to live and Jeremy has many of these qualities also.



I was laughing so hard when Spencer showed me his mini skateboard! I've never seen such a tiny one. So Jeremy and I ditched the b-day party for awhile and decided to "skate or die dude."
