SPOKANE

Right after Christmas we loaded up, dogs and all, and headed for Spokane. The day we got there was Grandpa Whittle's 100th birthday. Glenn and Cheryl put together a nice evening celebrating grandpa. Everyone was there except for Tani's oldest boys, Kyle and Carson who are serving missions. Grandpa is still going strong and has always had a funny sense of humor. He doesn't remember everyone's name, but he can still recall a lot of memories of his life. And 100 years worth of memories is a lot!



All the Whittle grandkids and great-grands.


I love this picture. The Whittle siblings are always quick to pull pranks-here they told Glenn this was going to be a 'make a weird face' picture and at the last minute they put on their normal faces while Glenn continued on with the weird face. :) I think this is frame worthy!

Oh, these girls. They are always up to something. It usually involves dance moves, hair flips and lots of giggling. I'm so glad Audrey has these girls to grow up with. She just loves them!






Alex and Addy (Tyler's daughter) are the same age. Although Addy's vocabulary puts mine to shame! She and Alex were have a piano competition. They kept telling each other they were playing the wrong keys and would point to the sheet music as if they knew what they were talking about. Well, maybe Addy really did.



Nathan brought their popcorn machine and treated everyone to yummy popcorn.




We were treated to an awesome snow storm while we were there. It was so beautiful! Alex and Cody loved stompin around outside til their hands were too cold.






Sasquatch and Duke (Glenn's dog) got to be good buddies.


Snow Football!!



Nice catch Troy! See below for post catch:


And here's another:
I think his words after this were "When did I get to be so old?"





Troy and Nathan were so proud of the deal they found on Seahawks Jerseys.
Anyway, we had a fun time. It's amazing how so many people can fit under one roof at Glenn and Cheryl's. And I think everyone got along too!

Wow, what a group! How does Cheryl do it? Grandpa looks pretty good for 100 yrs. The snow is lovely. Alex looks SO happy-he's such an outdoor boy. What a great event.

Brooke I love the picture of the Whittle clan where they tricked Glen. Grandpa is looking at Glen with a confused face. Hilarious!!
