the big 80.

my grandma wood is turning 80 years old this month!

of course a birthday like this merits a big party! i was blessed with the task of making the slide show. i say blessed because it gave me the opportunity to look through scads of old pictures, one of my very most favoritest hobbies. 

look.

grace kelly? no, my grandma.

this is just the cutest little scene. and isn't that dress to die for!

little lisa looks like little courtney here.

two things to point out in this gem: 1}that is marion g romney with my family {cool} and 2}look at my mom's hair!

 

hippies.

 we'll end with a picture of my mom opening up the best present: the family quilt. most comfortable thing in your life. sadly this was the early 80s and what was left of the quilt has long since been thrown out. here's to you quilt! nothing will ever replace you on our beds or in our hearts.

i can't help myself.

but to love this man and everything that comes from his mouth {despite or maybe even BECAUSE OF his straggly hippie hair}.

the farmer's market.

one of THE BEST things you can do in salt lake in the summer!

{i'd come to the farmer's market just for this right here: two hipsters entertaining us with their own bike-drawn piano. LOVE it!}
