My daughter had this on her blog and I wanted to try too.
Here are the rules:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.
If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you (and if this isn't on there...I'll assume you're a procrastinator like me and will check back later!)

I remember when we went on the trip to Orange County, CA. I got strep throat right before we left and hand to spit in a cup the entire way because I could not swallow. I was surprised by how tollerable you were about it.
You were so supportive of me. It made me feel so good. I really felt that you loved me, maybe that is why it was my favorite trip.
You bought me a neckalace at the queen mary, we went on a shopping spree, ran out in the ocean and took pictures, and ate at fun resturants. I remember that we loved the flan.
You helped me through the Miss America Pageant and I had some one to lean on. It didn't do so well but I had you to give me a hug and say that it was o.k. because I was loved.
I am so thankful for having you as a mother. You supported all of us so well. You were always so tender and cared about our feelings, trying to make us happy even when we would have none of it. You brought joy to our lives with your happy demeanor and still do. You are some one that we love and enjoy. Someone that I hope to be more like. I want to learn from you and be like you were to my kids.
I love you mom.
Sorry if this is dumb. I don't remember exact details, just snippets, so here goes:
After J and I got married your family went to to California I think, and we called you to let you know we were expecting Em. You squealed! That made me even more excited, and you brought home tiny Stride Rite sandals that continue to cycle through the kids. That was the best reaction to a pregnancy I have ever received.
I also remember making breakfast for your anniversary right after we got married. We bought you some weird, supposedly sexy cd, and made french toast and stuff. Sorry if that was totally inappropriate or offensive, but we were dumb newlyweds and thought every other married couple was too, I guess. (Dang, that's a little embarrassing.)
When J was deployed you went to a lot of effort on my birthday to make me feel special. You made a wonderful dinner, bought presents, and even got flowers for J to "give" to me. As hard as it was to have him gone, you made me feel so comfortable and welcome. I loved it.
You helped us build our house in any way you could, whether it was watching the kids or handling a caulk gun, you helped contribute. To that I am forever grateful.
You always answer my stupid health questions. You probably get sick of that, but you are the most knowledgeable person about health and medicine. (Hmmm..that's not really a memory, but oh well.)
I also loved going to help you pick out colors and furniture for your new house. Even though I'm just a young punk and in no way, shape, or form a professional, you treated my opinion as if I was, and I had so much fun.
I guess you're pretty much the coolest mother-in-law a daughter-in-law could have. I have always felt loved and respected by you, and I want you to know I feel the same about you. Man, I miss you!
I was so happy to have you guys on my post. Thanks for all the nice things that you said. I love you both so very much. What fun I am having talking to you this way. I can get on and re-read everything to my hearts desire.
Thanks for being my daughters, you are both so great.
Mom I’m not really in the memory mode but here goes. I love going camping with mom and dad. I love swimming in the lake and going fishing even though we never catch anything. I love the excitement and hope that I get. I think it was Dad’s birthday 2007 and we were camping In Island Park. After the reunion was over we found a better camping spot closer to the lake. We had a stake diner and that night we went swimming and fishing. I tried using he fat left over from my left over stake on my fishing hook. I was hoping to catch a fish but ended up with a crawdad. It wanted that piece of meat and it wasn’t willing to let it go. It was fun to throw the animal back in. After catching about the same crawdad 4 or 5 time we decided to give the meat to him and quit fishing.
I remember running off the dock diving into the nice cool water and buddy shivering at the side of the beach. Dad love swimming and it doesn’t matter how cold the water is he knows when to take a cool break in the water.
Growing up we have always had fun in the water. I remember fun games like “categories”, “Marco polo” and dad’s favorite shark minnows. Dad was the best shark he would jump out of no where and pretend he was eating our leg. I remember laughing my head off.
When we got back from I think a county fair. I ran inside the home and grabbed the first thing I thought was a jar of water and I gulped it down not thinking it wasn’t water. I screamed with horror and ran to the sink to try to through up. Dad felt sooooo bad that he had left his chemical out from work. Mom gave me lots of hugs and kisses. Dad let me sit on his lap and eat ice cream and a movie when all the other kids had to go to bed.
