The last few days

My family told me it's time to update so I'm posting again. :) Just a little update from our weekend.

Carson had a school picnic and we all went. Can't wait till next year when the WHOLE fam really will be able to go. (We love you Jada and are longing for you to come home!!) I think Carson appreciated us being there, but for a kid whose favorite class is gym and recess, he was off to play football w/ his friends as soon as his lunch was gone. :)

I love this pic of the boys and I and just need to say how thankful I am to be their mom. I had a great Mother's Day and loved all their cards and gifts. So special and funny to see what they wrote. On one of Kade's cards he said "My mom does lots of dusting and other stuff I don't like to help her with". :) I think about being a mother in law someday a lot (partly b/c for so long I thought I was only having boys). I pray that my boys will marry a Godly woman who is sold out to Jesus Christ and who thinks they are the coolest guy in the whole world. :) And I pray that I can love my daugthers in law just how God made them and not get in the way too much. :) So, this has to lead to a tribute to my mother in law now. I believe I had four boys b/c I have such a great role model of a mother in law. Thanks P for all you do! You serve and serve some more and never complain. You love and care and offer help and advice but never try to take over. I'm so thankful to call you Mom! And of course, my mom. You think of everything. And then go a step further. You never tire of doing and helping. You amaze me at how much you can accomplish in a day. I love the way you love people. Wish I was more like you in this area. :) I am blessed to call you both Mom!

Okay, sorry for the tanget, didn't plan on that. Back to the weekend. We went to the land and had some fun in the country. (We own a couple acres close by.) Bart and Quinn mowing.

Kade and Cole having a snack and enjoying the sunshine.

Carson and Quinn were playing in the creek and shooting Grandpa's BB gun. What they would've given to see a fish, a mouse, a frog, a beaver, anything running around they could shoot at! :) They resorted to throwing sticks in the creek for target practice.

And Bart's Grandpa even made it out for lunch. Joe P is 93 (I think?) and still going strong. He and grandma just moved into the nursing home about a month ago but he still drives! He said, that day "you take away my keys and heat and that's about it...." He went on to tell us how the nursing home was about 68 degrees and "why, what are they thinking doing that in an old folks home? We get cold, you know." :) He drove to Bart's dad's house and then the two of them came to the land. Four generations. How blessed we are.

And just to end on a light note....warmer weather is here. Warning....immodest apparrel coming! :)
