Montana Grandma

Jeff is so awesome. He is our big kid – he stands about 6'3" and weighs over 200 lbs. He was always such a cute kid – he still is a cute kid! He could get me to laugh & cry all in the same conversation. He would get up in the mornings at 7:45 and be to school by 8:15 – to this day I don't know how he did that and was never late. He played football in high school and was really pretty good at it. I have fond memories of the freezing nights at the football games and sitting on the edge of my seat when there was a tackle until I made sure he was on top of the pile – which he usually wasn't – and then waiting until he stood up! I had a hard time following the ball and finding him out on the field. I wanted to put his number on his helmet in bright pink neon tape but he never would let me do that – go figure!

Jeff married Ashlee in 2003. He is a good husband and a great daddy. They have 2 of the cutest little people you have ever seen! He works hard to support his family so that Ashlee doesn't have to work outside of their home and I'm grateful for that. He is active in the church and honors his priesthood and uses it to bless his family. What more could a mother ask for!

Jeff has such a tender heart and always knows when I need a little tenderness or a word of encouragement or need a little strength from him. I always seem to cry during our talks and he knows just what to say or do to make me feel better. And when we are together and the tears come he just wraps me in his big arms and holds me close for a few minutes. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father allowed me the privilege to be his mother. He truly is one of my treasures.
He had a birthday party tonight. I think it is the first one we have missed in 24 years. I cried a little! But mostly my heart is just full of gratitude for him. He is such an awesome son and brother and husband and daddy! We love you Jeff!!!!!
