OUR GRANDBABY IS ONE

Our dear little Alivia is one year old today. That year has gone by quickly. The smile you see in the picture below is there most of the time. She is one happy little sweetheart. She started walking a month ago I think and keeps everyone on their toes at home. We were with her a few days ago and she was eating almost anything they gave her. She is a lovable little girl and we are enjoying watching her grow. We love you Alivia and hope you have a fun birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

MY HUBBY IS ANOTHER YEAR OLDER

       Today is Rog's birthday and he is 69 years young. I'm so thankful that he prayed for his wife long before he met me and that he found me. I am so thankful for his life and his walk with the Lord.

We went away for a couple of days and were able to see most of our grandkids. We love our grandkids so much and value the time we can spend with them. Of course we love their moms and dads as well.

God has been so good to us and today I am reminded to thank Him again as I do every day for his faithfulness and for the wonderful husband He has given me.

I love you Rog and am so thankful for your life and pray God will give us many more years together.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!

THE TREE HOUSE - GRAMMA'S PERCH

I know my grandchildren will be excited about this because I am excited about it. Yesterday grandpa told me that he had decided that my street money should be used for "gramma's perch". That is what he calls the tree house. For those of you that might have questions about the street money, we have challenged our children and grandchildren to run/walk 1000 miles this year and while we do our walking/running, we pick up any street money we see. So far that has amounted to almost $300. It is simply amazing how much is out there.

So we are using that money for this special project for our grandchildren. We had a very large pine tree that died in our back yard so we had to have it taken out but left a large part of it for a tree house. So far they have mounted the floor on top of the tree. Now we need some enclosure. You can see from at least one of the pictures that it is up in the air a ways. Overlooks the back yard.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN!

Today Susan is 35 years old. I don't think she looks a day over 25 but I'm her mom. We really enjoy having Susan & Greg and their family so close.

Susan keeps very busy working nights as an ob tech at the hospital and works several days for a doctor. She also keeps very busy with their 4 children.

I caught a picture of her going down the zipline at camp gramma 2011 a couple of weeks ago.

She seems like she has a no ending amount of energy and we appreciate her willingness to help us with many things. We love you Susan and hope you have a great day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

JULY MILES - NOT FAR TO GO!

July is gone and my miles are on the calendar - 935. Sorry I was a little slow in reporting. We were in Colorado the end of July and the beginning of August. I still managed to keep doing some walking here and there. I am excited that I will soon reach my goal of 1000 miles walking/running and I will probably keep on walking/running the rest of the year just to see how many I can possibly do. It is fun - I do enjoy the exercise and it has been very good for me. I'm also enjoying watching to see how all my grandchildren are doing as well as some of my children. God has kept Rog & I healthy for which we are very thankful.
