Lots of Changes

Who can believe ten years ago Maegan came to share our lives!! She was born on my sister Sharon's birthday, both have beautiful brown eyes!

Her parents took her to the place she loves to go - Lake Powel for her birthday~~
Rain or shine, I'm sure she spent many happy hours bobbing in the water!!

If she knows she is going swimming at the Rec Center - Amy will be reminded on an hourly basis "daddy comes home, swimming!!"

I'm so proud of Maegan and all she does to make us better people!!
Who can really resist when she runs to you, hair flying, big smile to
give you a hug!

I don't know anyone who does a better job at walking past a gluten-filled birthday cake and enjoys just the ice cream with such gusto!!

Happy Birthday little Meg.

A Mother's Heart

Paraphrasing Proverbs...."Who can find a woman (with a mother heart)? For her price is far above rubies..She..worketh willingly with her hands. With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard..She stretcheth out her hand to the poor..Strength and honour are her clothing..She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindsness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness".

Happy Mother's Day to my dear mom!

And to the wonderful mothers of my precious grandchildren~~ You all do such an amazing job!

And to sweet Judy and many other women with "mother hearts" in my life that have taught me so much!

I remember all the plaster of paris hand prints, cards, noodle necklaces and broken stem flowers that I received from those I loved so much on Mother's Day. It is a great run--enjoy every minute of it!! The REWARD is seeing the love in my own grandchildren's eyes for their mommies~~

Thanks Amy, Jill, Troy, Jennifer & Kelly for letting me be your mom and for all you do for me still!!! love ya~~

Kelly & Stacey married four years!

Four years ago on May 6th, wasn’t it fun!!! The kids were having a ball going up and down the elevator at the reception, Amy was a house with Kate inside her~~which she had six days later!! My dad and Stacey’s grandpa were so cute talking about the good old days, I had my fat feet inside some sling-backs that were killing me~ but the best part was seeing Stacey and Kelly so happy! They were glowing with love for each other and now four years later share that love with their little daughter, Pearl!

It seems only yesterday in some ways that all you kids were showing Kelly how to crawl out of his crib and drop to the floor. I always found him with his bottle in his teeth, sleeping at the top of Jill’s head on her pillow. Thinking of him coming down the hill with Danny on their big wheel bikes and getting the cat out of the tree with his special brand of thinking!!!.....(smile)

We’re so happy to have Stacey in our family! We love you K & S. Happy Anniversary!!!
