small world

We went camping over memorial weekend to Baumgartner campground. It is a beautiful place just outside of Featherville, which is near Pine.
We had just gone on a little hike, and we passed some folks that were on the trail and one of the ladies looked familiar to me, but I didn't think much about it.
As we reached the bottom of the trail I saw an older gentleman sitting on a bench with the lady that looked familiar to me. I knew immediately that he was one of Grandpa's brothers. I knew Ezra was still alive, but couldn't remember anyone else. I went over to them and asked them if they were Robertsons, I told them who I was and sure enough it was Lamar and his wife and 3 daughters with their families. We visited with them for about a half hour of so. They were staying in one of their daughters cabins in Featherville. One of thier daughters had 2 sons named Colton and Caden...same as me.
You just never know who you will see roaming in the mountain trails.

Love,
The Hammer's

Thanks Grandma!!!

Nate turned 16 in January and we made a deal that his first date would be with me or one of his grandma's and double with Rhett and I. (I wanted to make sure he knows how to treat a lady. Thanks for the great idea Natalie!) He decided quite a while ago he would ask Grandma Robertson and we would go on a double date.

Well last night we finally went and we had a great time. We went to Johnny Carino's for their Mother's Day Deal and it was really nice. We had a little wait, but we had a great time visiting and Grandma shared some wonderful stories from the wagon train. She had spent the day reading about their experiences and reminiscing.

I think Nate passed, he was quite the gentleman and even got a big hug from his date, before and after the date on the doorstep!

I have several sweet pictures of Grandma and Nate together, they have had a lot of fun together and we are so grateful for the blessing it is to have her in our lives! We love you Grandma!!!

What I love the most is Grandma's laugh, her laugh has always been contagious, when she laughs, everyone laughs. What I didn't realize is how much Donean's laugh was just like Grandma's!! How fun it is to be with her! I felt like last night Grandma Judy was there laughing and enjoying the night along with us, I could hear her laugh inside Grandma's laugh. It was awesome! Thanks for a great night!

Happy Mother's Day tomorrow Grandma and all the Mother's, especially our angel mother in Heaven, we miss you and love you so much Grandma Judy!!!!!
