My cute Grandma, Jewel Skousen (whom I'm named after, my middle name) turned 90 years old today. I think she looks amazing for 90. She is the sweetest person you'll ever meet. I've never heard her say a mean thing about anybody and never heard her raise her voice. I asked my dad a couple of weeks ago if he ever heard her yell when he was growing up. He said he cannot remember one time she ever yelled. Man, how would that be? She has been an amazing example to me throughout my life. She always supported Grandpa in whatever he did; his many speeches and seminars across the world, his many books he has written, the many times he would have random people stop by their home to meet and visit with Grandpa.... She always stood by his side. Grandpa passed away over 2 years ago and she has remained strong. She never feels sorry for herself and is still always happy! Grandma, we love you so much! Happy 90th Birthday!
We had a big open house for Grandma at her church, where friends and family were able to come and see her and have cake and ice cream. My dad made a video of her life too. It was so fun to see many of my cousins and their kids. There are 50 grandkids (I'm #23) and as of right now 86 great grandkids. But there about 7 more on the way! Here we are with Grandma. I think she looks beautiful! Gavin had a little too much fun playing in the drinking fountain.
