"They think his tractor's sexy"

Darin and I were sitting in the house relaxing over the weekend and heard a rumble coming from outside. Imagine our surprise to find this scene when we investigated further by going outside. Now don't ask me why I thought this was so funny, but I got the biggest kick out of it. (could be the size of our yard in comparison to the tractor, but it sure tickled me). Randy and his friend Chris were doing his Mother's yard, and decided to be nice and mow ours also. That's why I love this boy so much. Just when I'm so frustrated with him I want to torture him with some medieval torture device he does something like this. Randy was the sweetest, most giving, and helpful kid ever. He was always worried about everyone else and loved to take care of others. This just reaffirms to me that all is not lost. Even if Randy's reasoning for helping is that "Dad is way to old and crippled to take care of the lawn himself," we love him and appreciate his help. Thanks Randy !

Happy Birthday "Doll"

Today is my Tabitha's 22nd birthday. I wish I could say where the time has gone. I can remember the day she was born, and all the wonderful memories from then until now, just like the 22 years went by in a week. I'm so proud of what a beautiful woman she has become inside and out. She continues to amaze me day after day. I anxiously await her next move in life and feel blessed watching her make her way in this crazy world. Happy Birthday Doll Face :)

Her Heart is in Texas

I was without my camera for a week, I know, I can't believe it either.....Anyway look what I found when my camera was returned. Collin graduated from bootcamp and Tabitha traveled to San Antonio to attend the festivities. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and these certainly do it for me. Nothing makes me happier than to see my family smile and Tabitha's sweet smile in these pics says it all. I'm not sure what the future holds for these two, but the I hope that smile never fades.

Babies, Babies and more Babies!

Today Mom and I attended another baby shower. This shower was for the little Aubree Elizabeth Morgan. The new arrival for Michelle (Coates) Morgan and her family is due to arrive next month. The shower was a lot of fun, there was a lot of great food, and the lucky little princess will be set with all the wonderful gifts they received. My camera went with Tabitha to Texas, so I didn't get any pictures, but I will have lots of great memories. There were sooooo many sweet little babies and old friends there to visit with, it was an awesome afternoon. Congratulations to the Morgan Family !!

Welcome to the Family !

This is my Uncle Mike and his beautiful new bride Sheila. I'm certain there are better pictures of the happy couple floating around somewhere but for now this is the only one I could dig up. Sheila really was already a part of our family, however now it's "official." I always new when Uncle Mike chose a bride she would be very special, and that she is! I've looked forward to Sheila joining our family, and I know she will be a wonderful addition. Welcome to the family Aunt Sheila :)

Grandparents Day!

Today is Grandparents Day! I know most of you probably didn't know there was such a thing but today is it. I haven't been blessed with grandchildren yet, but had a great day anyway. Tabitha and Randy are the luckiest kids ever. They have the very best grandparents in the world. After church today we had Grandma Child and Grandma & Grandpa Davis over for lunch. This is pretty amazing since entertaining, especially in my home is definitely not my thing. Way out of my comfort zone and usually ends up disastrous. Anyway, we had a wonderful time. It was so nice to sit and visit with each other. I only wish we would do it more often. How all of us were together and I never brought out my camera I can't understand but I do have the memories. We were so blessed to have had them as grandparents for our children and also to learn from their examples how to be wonderful grandparents when our turn comes.
Happy Grandparents Day !
