Happy 90th birthday Grandma Brink!

Aug 7th was my Grandma Brinkerhoff's 90th birthday! We planned a party with all of her kid's and all their family. It was really fun to see all my cousins from Utah that came down. We don't see them too often anymore. Here is a picture with Arys and Grandma. Grandma really loves her grandkid's and great grandkids. (even tho she doesn't know who belongs to who, and sometimes thinks kids that have been around for years are new...)
Grandma's 3 boys.. don't they look excited?? This was at my Aunt Faie's house Friday night where we all went swimming. It was pretty crazy with a ton of kids who wanted to swim, and a ton of adults that wanted to catch up and chat! (thanks cory for staying in the pool for so long and yanking kid's off the bottom..)
My camera is on a weird setting that makes it take FOREVER to take a picture, so some of these are blury. sorry.. My little family with Grandma
This is what the center pieces looked like. Grandma loves oatmeal cream pies, and loves little debbie brownies with chopped walnuts on top.. she also used to take empty yogurt containers and fill them up with orange juice to freeze. That was always a fun treat to snack on during the summer.. Also, Grandma is addicted to Pepsi. She is 90 and still going strong, makes me double think if pepsi is really bad for you???
Here's the whole family minus Grandpa Brinkerhoff. Starting on the left, Doug, Joe, Faie, Ralph, and Grandma.
It was really fun to listen to the few stories told about my grandma. One was she was born a few weeks early while her parents were vacationing in san diego. they brought her home in a shoe box!
