Traveling Trio

We've made it to "grammies" house as they call it. From the moment they are told that's where we are going they say her name non-stop all while they are awake. Of course, this is interrupted for the times that we see animals along the way along with the different crops that I point out to them or the occasional "ig truck" we see.

The boys want nothing to do with go old mom as long as "grammie" is around. While this is great for mom as she gets a little reprieve from "mommy", "mommy", and more "mommy" it makes for a tired "grammie" as the end of the visit.

Exploring in "grammie's" backyard is always full of surprises because it's not our backyard. However, exploring "grammies's" house is even more fun because we can find out what she forgot to put away. The fun these two wonderful little boys have with grammie is absolutely joyful to watch and hear. Our phrases used are amazing because they are always coming up with something new to say and sometimes scary. YIKES!!

What a beautiful day the Lord hath gave us to enjoy while traveling and spending with family.

Thoughts of Truly Happy Mommy


As I sit thinking of the birthday party coming in about a month it's hard to think that they are already going to be TWO! Where has all the time gone? At the same time, I'm thankful we're where we are because they are so much fun now. They are my favorite little guys! The summer has been filled full of firsts just to name a few:


  • first time in a jumper

  • first words

  • first sentences

  • first naughty words; thanks to the big guy we call daddy

  • first time on a four wheeler

  • first stay in a hotel

We start to contemplate and be thankful for the fall harvest season to come. It is also going to be a time of firsts as pumpkin patch time comes about, fall leaves start to fall and then a winter with snow suits and mittens will be here. I'm so thankful that the good Lord above has blessed us with these two beautiful boys.
