Pond Flowers

Here are a few pics of my beautiful pond flowers this year. Have I ever told you kids how much I really enjoy that wonderful Mother's Day gift from ohhhh sooooo long ago? Well, I really do! I look at it and tend it EVERY day which makes me think of all you kids since you are all the ones that gave it to me! Anyway, the flowers have been plentiful and wonderful this year. I enjoy them each and every day. Thanks for a great gift that has kept on giving.......

Who IS This Woman & WHAT Is She Doing?

Grandma Rae thinks that jumping on a trampoline at her age (76) is a good thing and good exercise! Craaazzzyy! She has to practically beat the kids off it first tho! Thought you might enjoy seeing what one of your grandmothers has been up to......

Man's Work

Found these pictures on my camera and couldn't help but post them.  They are from when Easton was visiting and we had just come back from camping and atving. To refresh your memory, it rained ALOT while Easton was here so the atvs were very muddy.  He insisted on cleaning the little atv on his own. He's such a good helper when it comes to the dirty jobs!! Love you E, miss you tons, Grandpa needs your help getting his jobs done so hurry back!

Rainbows

We've had a lot of rainbows this year. Maybe because we've had soooooo much stinking rain. The rainbows are always such a beautiful site tho.  I took these from the truck window while waiting for your Dad in Lowes.

Fun at Boondocks

Last night we went to Boondocks Fun Center for an evening of fun.  We ate pizza in the restaurant, played laser tag (Easton and I were on the red team and Grandpa and John were on the blue team), rode the go carts, and played miniature golf.  It was a fun way to spend the evening and the weather was beeeeeuuuuutttttiiiiiiifffffuuuulllll!!! (About dang time!!)  We loved the laser tag and Easton loved the go carts.  We talked Grandpa into rootbeer floats afterwards. BTW, Easton beat ALL the girls in ALL the races that he ran on the go carts. He was pretty proud!

Strawberry Scenery

The photos have not been altered in any way.  The darkness of the photos and clouds is real--that's what we dealt with while we were there.  Lots of rain, cold, wind, mud, storms blowing in and out, dark clouds and not much sunshine.  Some of the pics were taken from the inside of the truck because we drove around because of the rain.  We enjoyed our time tho.

Camping and Boating in Strawberry

The weather was very wet and cold during our trip but it didn't stop us at all.  We just "layered" up and headed out to have our fun.  These are just a few of the pics that we took.  Unfortuneately, I didn't get any of us riding the atv's because I didn't want to take my nice camera out in the rain and all the muck.  While we were on the atv's tho, we saw at least a dozen deer eating in the brush.  Wish I could have gotten some pics of them--they were sooooo close to where we were.  Let me just say that by the time we got off the atv's, our clothes had to go into garbage bags because we were covered in mud!  It was fun but seriously took LOTS of loads of laundry to get everything clean again.  I still need to go out and clean the carpet in the trailer--not sure if it will EVER come clean!!  Good times!! Good company!! Good memories!!
