Little Hands

When I saw this fabric...it gave me an idea...

smile

I thought of all my little grandchildren...

and decided to do this...

 

 Each hand represents a child...

I typed up their name...

and placed it on the palm of the hand...

Each "group" of hands represents

the family they belong to...

Right now there are "29" hands...

including our newest addition that will be

arriving sometime in NOVEMBER...

That little hand has the name of

"baby"...till he or she gets

their "name"...

smile 

This area is the "children's" play

area...I was unable to take a picture of the entire

room...so...it is in piece mil....

smile

Love Thy Neighbor....

The Lord blessed us...in more than one way...when He

lead us to our Idaho home...

BLESSED US with INCREDIBLE NEIGHBORS!

We have many PROJECTS...especially OUTSIDE...

Here is another...one...that we began this

year...taking out an old tree stump...

that kept sending out LIVE 

roots...where I wanted to grow FLOWERS!

Our neighbor, John Larson, brought over his backhoe...and

our neighbor, Dave Hart, came over with his tractor...

Bless their hearts...they took care of us...

 Aren't they the BEST!

smile 

Snow...How approprate on this TAX DAY...Chilling, isn't it? smile

April Showers bring May Flowers...

How about SNOW?

This is how our day began...

today...

 

 

My First "Big" Tractor Lesson...

Up till now, my husband, handled our tractor

that we got... while living in Montana...

Today, he decided it was time that

I learn how to use it...

My FIRST LESSON...

 

 Yep...I did it!

Part 3 - Time at Aunt Sarah's House

Part 3

Pictures taken at Sarah's home...Fun, getting more

"cousins" together...These were taken BEFORE

we girls went to "Cinderella"...

smile

There is nothing like a "Trampoline"!

 I LOVE...watching you interact with each other...

Savannah is so good with the little children...

 Daisy enjoying the attention!

  

This picture of Jackson...and his interaction

with his Papa! smile

 AUNT SARAH...working on Rachel's hair...

 SO CUTE!

Part II - Angel and Jenny's Visit!

How did I get so blessed...to have beautiful sons and daughters?

and now...added to my children...

are incredible...grandchildren!

THANK YOU...dear children...for adding so much

JOY to your father and my life!

WHAT A JOURNEY!

 Jedi in training...

 You would have thought these two were siblings...

instead of cousins...They were so interesting to 

watch their behavior towards each other...

smile

 Love our morning... breakfast...conversations...

 Jenny is one "Sassy" cook!

smile

 Ben LOVES his blanket!

OK...Sarah...your worries over spending 

much money on a "play-ground" set...

(well, Luke's worries...smile)

Buy a bunch of "straw" for $2.00 a bail...

and you have your own UNIQUE

playground! smile

The kids had a ball...climbing all over this...

finding little cubby holes to 

sink into...

 Nathan..."King" of the Straw bails...

Sammy, Rachel and Lillie

 Ben joined in the fun!

 Ben has such an adorable little smile!

 Nathan really had fun...

 Again...these two...certainly had "attitude"

towards each other...smile 

 Our little cutie...Eden!

 Sam, also, has such a darling SMILE!

 See... Sarah... cheap and FUN!

smile

 Lillie came out of the little

"cubby" she and Rachel had

made together! smile

 Love this picture of Rachel...

 Now, these two girls...had a ball together!

Cute pictures of Rachel and Lillie!

 Isn't "Eden" precious?

smile

 I think IVY would have LOVED to have 

been bigger...to join all the other kids...

Love this picture, Angel, of you and Ivy!

 And, we thought these bails of hay...were just for the 

garden! smile 

Garvin and I thought we better keep bails of straw on hand

for all our grandchildren visits...smile
