My Wish for you

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life."

Grandpa Leo's 85th Birthday

It has been awhile since a lot of the family has gathered together and it was wonderful to be with them all again. We gathered at Uncle Jim & Aunt Paula's house to sing and celebrate grandpa's 85th birthday. Crazy that he use to drive a horse and buggy to school and use hot rocks to keep warm in the winter. Amazing how quickly techknowlogy took off. We love you grandpa you are a great example as well as a Great Grandpa to about 80 of us...WOW!

Big Bertha!

Thatcher has discovered Big Bertha. He loves to climb on her, play with her gadgets & steer her big wheel. I am talking about great grandpa Leo's old tractor, so named Big Bertha. He is such a boy born with an innate sense of all things, well boy. He instinctively knows to hang on to the steering wheel and shift the gears...how does he know that!?
Well anyway, with his summer hair cut he sure looks cute up there on Big Bertha...don't you think?

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. (or the Big Bertha) Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."

Happy Fathers Day!

Wow, I am just on top of my blogging. Summer just is what it is. It always goes by to fast and there is always so much going on and I just do what I can. We have wonderful fun memory packed events happening this summer i hope I get some of them posted. If not, um, oh well. The moments will be enjoyed.

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."

Exactly!!!

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that. 'Why?' my daughter asked. 'Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs' I replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Momma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart.' I was thinking quickly. 'All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mom.' We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. 'OH.....I get it!' she beamed, 'So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad. ?''Exactly' I replied back with a big smile on my face.
