Happy Birthday Grammy "Carrot"

Today is Grandma Karen's (or Grammy "Carrot" as Brinley calls her) Birthday! Here are 10 things we love about Mama Rigg:

1) She is the most hands on Grandma and so amazing with kids. She always brings books, toys, and learning games and engages the kids in hours of fun when she's here.

2) She makes her family a priority. Whenever she has time off work, she uses it to see her children and grandchildren. She doesn't need to travel to exotic places and or take amazing trips, what makes her happy is being with family.
3) She is a great example of healthy living and always introduces great recipes and eating ideas to me. She has been a great example to me on staying fit and healthy and active.

4) She is so thoughtful and always sends cards on birthday's, mother's days, father's day, Anniversaries, etc... That is something I admire so much and hope to someday be organized and on the ball enough to do as well!

5) She is a great listener and lets me talk her ears off whenever she comes to visit.

6) She is very very generous and has helped us out countless times and in countless ways since we've been married.

7) She comes to every important event, which is not easy when we live so far away from each other. But every babies birth and blessing, she has been there for.

8) She is smart, talented and organized. She can go into any school and whip it into shape with her amazing administrative skills.

9) She takes the kids for horsie rides which they both have told me repeatedly is the highlight of their trips to Grand Junction. Riding horsies with Grammy : )

10) She is kind, easy going, easy to get along with and knows how to make everyone feel loved and special.

Happy Birthday Grandma "Carrot!" We love you so much!
