Remembering Grandpa


It's been awhile since I have blogged but I couldn't pass up the chance to talk about my Grandpa Payne. He passed away this month and we will miss him very much. He was a very interesting man and had quite an interesting life. He served our country in WW II and was a POW. His stories of that time period are amazing. He enjoyed telling stories, and spending time with Grandma and his kids and grand kids and he even got to enjoy some great grand children. Grandpa was great at crocheting and made some beautiful things - I will always treasure my angel and table cloth runner that he made for me. We love you Grandpa!

Welcome Friends & Family

Welcome to the Gardner Gang blog. Several friends of mine have done these and I finally decided to do one as well. I hope to preserve many family memories and make them available to share with all of you.

About Me

I'm a stay at home mom who loves being with my husband and kids out in the country.

Gardner Family "Remember When" List

  • Wyatt wanted to be a firefighter when he grew up - I just found several of the children's books on firefighting that he collected over the years.
  • Sierra called pillows "po-po's" and carried them all over the house.
  • Logan used to call Jesus "Gigi" and Haystacks, "haysnacks".
  • Logan used the black and red dry eraser markers and decorated Daddy's office and two of the walls in the family room!
  • Logan heard the phone ring and said, "Mommy the phone is talking to you"
  • Logan put nails in Daddy's grill on his car and every 30 feet down the road he heard "plink, plink"!
  • Logan went to the bathroom on his potty chair and then promptly said, Now it's Sissy's turn!
  • Mom totally shocked us all by letting us get a kitty that we promptly named "Morning Star"
  • Sierra surprised us by demonstrating that she could climb to new heights and ended up on top of the dining room table
  • We were at Lay Advisory Retreat and Logan pulled the fire alarm and everyone thought that Mom had done it
  • We were leaving Camp Au Sable and Dad brushed the trees with the RV and Logan said "Sorry Trees, Sorry Trees!"
  • Dad backed up the RV into Aunt Lori's car and wrecked the bumper and didn't even hardly feel a thing in the RV!
