A~T~A trip!!



The three of us like to plan a little get away once or twice a year. Our plan this trip was to stay at the nutt house one night and then splurge and stay one night in Las Vegas. Well it didn't go quiet the way we planned. When we arrived at the nutthouse we stumbled upon a flood. It seems that the hose on the back of the fridge split and water had been spraying out that hose for almost a month. So we ended up staying at Aspen's house the one night and then doing a double night splurge in Vegas. Over all, the trip was a success. We walked, and walked, and walked in Vegas, caught a movie, went shopping of course and had some yummy desert. The casino we stayed in was really nice. I am glad that we got away. These two gals of mine are great!!




I already can't wait for our next trip...In January, I think :)

Twilight girls

Yes, we are part of those crazies that need to go out and watch all of the Twilight movies. And yes, we have our little girls involved in all the whoop-la. We scored tickets to a special preview to eclipse from My Allstate agent ( who is the best by the way!! )and were able to take my niece Paiton and Maddie along with My Sister in Law Larkyn, My Momma and Sister. It was a great afternoon out.
I think it's funny that all the women get freaked out. I love to people watch and I love that my girls get all giggly!!
Can't wait for the next one!!!

Where do you sleep!!?





My kids can sleep just about any where it's getting them to sleep that's the problem. I am always finding them in weird positions or in weird places. Crazy kids!!

Eternity

My Grahms waited a good 60 years to be sealed to my Grandpa and their Children. Unfortunately it couldn't take place until my Gramps was deceased. I also have and Aunt and Uncle that are deceased as well and all of us gathered except one to take part in this special day. I was able to stand in for my Aunt and I two cousins join in on being a stand in for my Gramps and Uncle. I could barley control my emotions. I cried most of the morning. The spirit was so strong in the Temple and it truly was amazing to be a part of it. I knew that my Gramps, Aunt Catherine and Uncle John...and my Dad were all there as witnesses in this special occasion. I know no one on the other side opposed to what we were doing. The Heaven's were definitely celebrating along with us.
I am truly thankful for the Plan of Salvation and all that the Lord and Savior has done for me and my Family. I can testify that Families are Forever!!
Thanks again Grahms for letting be a part of your special day!! Here is to Eternity!!

no bore fourth





We had a fun filled Fourth of July Weekend. Started off with Swimming and BBQ on the 3rd and then a lazy day on the 4th. It is amazing what a couple of dollars worth of fireworks will do to entertain us. Good times. I am so grateful for our freedom and for our troops who help us!!

Daddy's Day

A Dad is a Son's first HERO and a Daughter's first LOVE.

Father's Day

I remember Daddy's hands folded silently in prayer and reaching out to hold me when I had a nightmare. You could read quiet a story in the calluses and lines years of work and worry had left their mark behind.
I remember Daddy's hands how they held my Momma tight and patted my back for something done right. There are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the Man but I always remember the love in Daddy's hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was crying, Daddy's hands were hard as steal when I done wrong Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand, there was always love in Daddy's hands.
I remember Daddy's hands working til' they bled sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed. If I could do things over I'd live my life again and never take for granted the love in Daddy's hands.

Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand there was always love in Daddy's hands.
