Wedding

Our youngest son is getting married on Saturday to a sweet girl we all love. It is very exciting. They are being married in a very unique place. It is in the mountains. Not only it will be a big event for our family, but it will be partly vacation at the same time. I know we will all have a great time celebrating this happy occasion with them. We can hardly wait.

Easter Dinner

I am planning an early Easter dinner this Saturday as it is also my youngest son's birthday. We will have all the grandchildren there. It will be a great family time. We will hide Easter eggs and it will be so much fun to watch the kids find them. They get so excited. Easter is probably the best celebration of all because our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, went to the cross, died and rose again and is in Heaven interceding for us now. What a wonderful gift he gave us.

New Grandbaby

We are really getting very excited about our 5th grandbaby that is on the way. He or she will be born next Tuesday and we are counting down the days. When our daughter goes to the hospital, we are planning to go to their home and take care of our two grandchildren and then also stay and help cook, clean and assist her and her husband with anything they need. It will be so neat to have a new baby to cuddle again. We are so excited!!!

Moving

Our daughter and family have been trying to sell their home for almost two years now. Recently prayers were answered! A buyer came in and in one showing she bought their home! They had recently looked at a house that they were interested in, so were ready to buy! Everything is falling into place and we will help them move to their new home in just two weeks! How exciting!

Grandsons

Is this not about the sweetest! I love them! This is two of my grandsons, Emry and Israel. They are so good together.

New Years Eve

We are excited about spending New Years with our daughter and her family. Our grandchildren are growing up so fast and it is so much fun to spend as much time with them as possible. I hope one day they live a bit closer to us but right now it isn't too far except in bad weather. We will all have a good time. Our little granddaughter just loves to help her "Grammy" in the kitchen :0)

What Fun!

Over Thanksgiving we were blessed to have all of our children home with us. The laughter filled the house. The grandchildren are so sweet. To capture a picture with all of them looking is quite the task. But well worth spending the time trying! :)

Me and my Mom

This is me and my mom at Thanksgiving. How appropriate. I am very thankful to have my mom. She is a wonderful Christian lady. She's such a blessing to the family. I love you mom!

Family

We took a few minutes out of the birthday celebration to take some pictures of Josh, Di, Emry and Israel. The leaves added to a nice Fall picture. I'm not sure if they will use this for their Christmas card or what, but I think that it did turn out nicely.

Emry and Israel

Last weekend we spent sometime on the farm with our son and his family. Emry and Israel love it out there. You can see some of the flower garden behind them.

Grand kids

WOW! Don't you hate when you lose a post you've been working on? I do. Anyway, I was just missing my grand kids and was writing a little bit about them. My husband and I are blessed to be the grand parents of four wonderful kids! The older two were born twelve days apart. Emry and Kaelyn are almost three now. Their younger siblings were also born twelve days apart. Kaden and Israel are such happy, smiley boys! We enjoy them all so much. It's that time to go and see them all again!

Pictures

I have to admit, I love taking pictures. Whether they are of my kids, grand kids or places we have been, I love them. It has been fun sending pictures to family and friends by way of the internet. I know some people are hesitant to put some of their family pictures online but I put lots on to share. Here is an example. Enjoy.

Baby Shower Invitations

I love going to baby showers, weddings and receptions of all kinds. The last baby shower invitations I received were so cute. They were like I had never seen before, so unique and colorful. I think I was more excited than ever to go to the shower after seeing these great invitations. I found out where they came and plan to pass the information to my daughter, daughter-in-law and their friends.

Eczema

As we grow up and begin our families, we have many challenges. In raising three children I found them to each be quite individual. We all have our own ideas, plans and health conditions. Some deal with acne while others may deal with eczema. Some may like sports while others enjoy dance and reading. It's fun to explore a variety of areas with each one of them. The health issues can be another thing.

Kaelyn

My daughter sent this to me today. It is so cute! Our son then put it on Facebook and said that " I am pretty sure I have the cutest niece Ever!!!!!" She is pretty sweet..........

Family

We find ourselves spending most of our free time with family. This past week and a 1/2 we have been going down to help our oldest son and his family to pack and move. They have recently found an acreage that they are purchasing, so we will find ourselves moving them again in about six weeks. It's so exciting to see them finding their first home and taking on a new position at work. Our prayers are with them through this transition.

Mom and Dad

In just a few weeks my parents will celebrate their 60th Anniversary! WOW! You just don't hear that very often anymore. We are very proud of them and excited to all be together for this special time. Thanks mom and dad for your many years of dedication, love and commitment. We love you!

Terrible Twos???

Terrible twos, I don't think so! Is this not about the cutest picture you have ever seen?! Our grand daughter Kaelyn is modeling her new t-shirt. She means what it says. She is a sweetheart. As our daughter would say, it's not the terrible twos. It's just a time in their lives when they need us to teach and train them in the way that they should go. They are doing a wonderful job of it... :)

Unkies

We met my sister and her husband, brother and his wife and my folks at Unkies for supper. What a great place to eat! We were celebrating my mom's birthday. Unkies is a small restaurant in an even smaller town. Those small communities have some of the best food! We are definitely going back again sometime. This is a picture of me, my mom and twin sister. :)

Grampa and Kaelyn

What great memories! I could just see this one day at Kaelyn's graduation or wedding. It was a special moment watching Grampa dance with his grand daughter.
