HOME AGAIN, HOME AGAIN, JIGGETY JIG!

We are so glad to be home from all our travelings over the past month! We feel like we've been gone a long, long time! It's always good to be home. Even though I love going places, and I really do, it's good to be back where you belong :-) I'm so amazed at all the "spring" things that are going on around us!! Our whole yard is in bloom now! I love the trees, what are left of them, out my office windows that block the neighbors house and the barn!! And we have 2 new green additions to our front yard, an arborvitae and a flowering plum tree! They're like our new best friends!! It's fun even after almost 36 years in a house to have something new to add to the landscape! It's never really "done!!" So, welcome home to us!!

SUPER BIRTHDAY MONTH

I just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Joshua, Emerson, Eric and Malia!!! Four birthday in one weeks time!! Whew, it's unbelievable!! And throw in there Kevin's birthday and Cameron's spiritual birthday and don't forget Aaron & Jenni's 4th wedding anniversary, well what can I say? It's an amazing month full of memories and special events!!! Hope that each one enjoys their special day!! We'll be thinking of you!

HAPPY DAY!

It's all about the rain in spring, remember April showers bring May flowers!! I actually love the rain, and thunderstorms. I'm supposing the storms cause a lot of my grandchildren stress, but hopefully someday they'll like them too :-) I'm glad I don't have that SAD problem!! Don't get me wrong, I really like the sunshine, who doesn't? So come on SUN!!

HAPPY SPRING!

I love the month of March! It means spring is here! Now I can take down my snowmen from winter, the ones decorating my house, and put up "springy" things. I'm crazy about spring things! So on Monday, March 1st I'll be dusting and cleaning and decorating! I like doing those things, call me crazy! Never mind!!

Gramma's Thoughts!

So, two big things happening in my two oldest grandson's lives! Austin is turning 18 and Cameron just registered for high school!! Oh my, oh my, it's hard to believe. How did I get so old :-) No comments please! It just seems like yesterday we were celebrating Austin's 1st birthday here at my house. He was surrounded by balloons and all you could see was his chubby face and very curly blonde hair :-) He was a challenging baby, but a delightful little boy and an amazing teenager! Austin, we are so proud of the young man you have become! Your leadership skills are evident and we pray that you will love God more each day! Cameron, how I remember the needle in your wee little head and how scary it was to hold you in your first days. That was pretty traumatic! God had big plans for you though and you have grown into a marvelous young man who is almost ready to head off to high school! Unbelievable. All of this brings tears to my eyes because in a way I wish they were still little guys who loved spending time with their gramma :-) Now they are off in their own world with their whole lives ahead of them!! I really wouldn't want it any other way! Just know guys that your gramma loves you with all her heart and I treasure the fact that God gave you to me. I pray for you each every day and will continue to do so as long as God gives me breath!!!

It's time to celebrate Valentine's Day!! It's such a "sweet" holiday! My favorite thing this year is that Grace Church is having a banquet and it will be "sweet!" Also I already know that my "sweet" husband bought me a card!! WOW!! My favorite saying for Valentine's Day is this:
EVERYDAY IS VALENTINE'S DAY FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE BASICALLY LOVABLE!!
That, believe it or not, comes from Snoopy!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON/HAPPY GROUNDHOGS DAY!

It's coming very soon!! So, I had to get Aaron's THIRTIETH birthday in here and Groundhog Day too!!! I think it's so cute that Aaron was born on Groundhog Day!! Mrs Gould even bought him a stuffed groundhog one time when he was in high school. It's still sitting on his old bed down in the man cave!! For some reason he didn't want to take it with him when he got married! (Sorry Jean!) So, what are my thoughts with my baby turning 30?? I just can't believe it! Where did all those years go? Happy Birthday Aaron!! Hope the groundhog doesn't see his shadow!!!
