Do you know anyone who is 100 years old....

and still alive?? I do. Her name is Billie Stoker and she is Mark's Grandmother. Last month she turned 100 years old and we had a big party celebrating her life! We had the opportunity to live with her for an entire year before we bought our house. She is a remarkable woman and has taught me a lot these past 11 years I have known her.

The monday before her birthday, the assisted living center she lives at had an openhouse for all of her friends and family. Andrew wouldn't leave his great-grandma's side the entire time we were there. He also sang Happy Birthday to her in a microphone in front of everyone present!



We had a big party for her the day before her actual birthday at our church. She had family come from California and SLC. It was a wonderful day!




Happy 100th Birthday, Grandma! We love you!!

Awesome! I hope to be 100 and have a smile on my face a few decades from now. Alan's great aunt also lived to 100. She died later that year. She was funny in her own Eeyore sort of way :). Ethan loved her to pieces, and was her cheerful companion at the Senior Citizen Center lunches once a week.
