Pre-school Graduation

Tonight took me to Moroni for Taite's Pre-school graduation.  He has been attending pre-school there since last September on Tuesdays and Thursdays and he has really enjoyed his class and his classmates.  Seated next to him in this picture is his buddy McCoy who he also gets to "hang out" with after school while McCoy's mother Natalie (a total sweetheart!) keeps and eye on him until TaNeal gets home from work.  The class sang several songs...of which "Five Little Monkeys" was my favorite and then each of the kids got to tell what there favorite thing about preschool was.  Taite's favorite thing was "caring and sharing" which his teacher was proud to annouce he came up with all by himself!  Then it was time to hand out the certificate of graduation. Now it's on to kindergarten this fall. Way to go Taite!!

Mother's Day 2011

In case you haven't noticed...I really LOVE my kids and grandkids.  Today each of my children took the time to let me know that they love me too.  What a blessing each of them are in my life. Their love and support mean so much to me.  I can't imagine a life without them in it.  And then there are the grandkids that help you realize that the love in a family just grows and grows.  Thank you Brandi, TaNeal, Holly, Amy and Jason for putting up with me all these years and for your unconditional love.  I marvel at what wonderful children you have turned out to be...in spite of who your mother was!  I love you!!!  And thank you for the beautiful grandchildren that bring even more joy into my life.  I am truely blessed!

Birthday Boy

Where Friday was such a busy day and Saturday was full of more baseball and softball games...TaNeal was with Kenzie in Fillmore and Wayne was with Wyatt in Salem...we celebrated Wyatt's big day today.  TaNeal surprised him with a Cold Stone cake personally made by his Aunt Amy!  He asked me if I would make pizza for his big day...for some reason he likes Granny's homemade pizza.  Happy Birthday Wyatt!  We love you.



A Mother's Day Lunch with Mom

Today I met my mom to celebrate Mother's Day a few days early...as you can see, my friend Taite also joined us.  Mom and I don't get to spend a lot of time together where we live so far apart, but for birthdays and Mother's Day I want her to know that she is special to me.  Without her I wouldn't have had the opportunity to experience this earthly adventure.  Thanks Mom for giving me life and for being not only my mom but also my friend.

Next Up...Taite

Taite was so cute when he came over this morning.  Every Wednesday is "Granny Day".  We were watching Dinosaur Train and he looked over and said "Granny...will you come and watch me play today?"  Now how do you say no to that?!  Taite plays on the Mt. Pleasant T-ball team.  I don't know if you have ever had the opportunity to watch a T-ball game, but there are few things as precious as watching these little kids play baseball.  They look like little sheep running around in the herd as they chase after the ball.  Taite was so excited because he actually knew what he was doing and tagged four runners out.  Good job Taite!!



Batter Up!



Baseball season is in full swing and tonight was Haylee's first game.  This is her first year where the girls pitch.  She is definately a girlie girl!!  Look at those pink and black shoes and her pink and black mitt!  She had a good hit and then it was off to first base.  She played right field and did a great job!!  Way to go Haylee bug!

Easy Rider

Tonight I talked Randy into going for our "annual" motorcycle ride.  We drove over to Mount Pleasant to visit the Nunleys and take each of the kids for a ride.  As we pulled away to head home, he almost threw me off the back...I wonder if he was trying to dump me?????  I think it's a little late for that!!  Hopefully spring is just around the corner.
