We spent a morning with Grandmommy (the hubby’s grandma) last week.
She didn’t freak out when the Happy Buddy flung sugar across the counter and all over the floor.
She didn’t mind that the snickerdoodles were shaped like baby carrots instead of melon balls.
She knew the importance for a little helper to push buttons like set the timer and turn off the oven.
She stayed patient even when it took about 5 minutes (and a few distracted trips to play with Legos) to fill up the measuring cups with Crisco or flour.
She let him have the first bite (and several dozen more).
She sent us home with 2 giant bags of goodies. And a couple of pizzas.
She praised and encouraged and inspired my budding little chef.
She gave us memories to treasure forever.
She was a reminder to me that her and Grandaddy’s faith was what God used to inspire my father-in-law’s faith which was what helped inspire my husband’s faith which inspires my own and my boys’ faith every day.
I hope that one day I will get to bake with my sons’ children’s children (phew).
I won’t be as lovely or spirited as Grandmommy when I’m 86.
I will probably be bald, in a wheelchair, have no teeth, and look like a human raisin –
But we will make some pretty scrumptious snickerdoodles and we will talk about how great our God is.
🙂
Thank you, sweet Grandmommy, for your precious faithfulness.
This family knows Jesus because of it.

Touched my heart as a Grammy who babysits 3 of mine full time. Not sure if the memories are more joyous for me or for them! Just so blessed! Love all your posts! You inspire us!
So very special indeed!
What a beautiful post! Grandmommy is an absolute doll! Grandkids are such a joy and blessing and this just warmed my heart to see these great photos! I’m sure she enjoyed the baking even more than they did!
Pam – LOL Grandmommy did enjoy it! She sent me 3 thank you notes about it already. 🙂 Love that lady!
Sweet. Memories for a lifetime . What a blessing for Grandmommy, Noah and Jet.
Treasures. The joy of The Lord is seen in the expressions of Grandmommy. Thank you for sharing these tender times . Good example
For us following on her footsteps.
My grandma went to heaven on April, and boy do I miss making memories with her and my boys!!
I love the third picture of Grandmommy-although it showed up as the fourth picture when I came to comment. If she’s in Facebook :), that should be her profile picture. But even more I love the legacy picture. So rare. And so awesome!
The legacy “picture” that you painted I meant.
I loved this post so much!! This is what life is all about. God bless you all.
Lori, it is, isn’t it??? 🙂
I Just love this Granny!! She looks super cool!! Wish she was mine!! Hope to be as good as she when I get home to the grand children.
What beautiful photos – how blessed your boys are – for their Grandmommy and their Mommy who captured the moments to help them remember. Just beautiful
Thank you, Kim! I don’t always remember my camera, but this day needed to be chronicled. 🙂
What precious memories!
I love this post! And Grandmommy is the sweetest lady!!
Sarah – Grandmommy is so blessed to live by your sweet family!
Aw so sweet! We have a Grandmommy too! (Hubs’ grandma too!) We just celebrated her 87th birthday last weekend!
Girl, that’s crazy! I had never heard of the name Grandmommy until I got married to my man. I love it!
Me either!!! That’s why I thought it was crazy that y’all had a Grandmommy too!
Such precious memories. Sweet photos, too. Grandmommy is what I have always called my grandmother, and now my kids do, as well. 🙂
Actually, I just looked at the post again, and saw the part that said Grandaddy, which is also what we called my grandfather, who is now home with Jesus. How funny!
