Granny’s House October 26, 2008

Besides knowing the answer is family…what is it that keeps us going to Granny’s house as a family?  Trey always laughs at me…because, whenever we are in Grenada…I always say “I’ve got to go to Granny’s house so that I can see everybody.”  He just looks at me and says “You know that not everybody can do that…right?”  He is right.  I have realized after years of hanging out with different families at different functions and holidays…almost everyone we know has “planned” visits with their family.  Not me!!!!!  I feel truly blessed…I can go down to Granny’s house on any given day at any given time and see my family if I stay long enough…not to mention have the best coffee in the world (it has to be the water…it is all I can figure out)!!!  I can see cousins, uncles, aunts, and multitudes of children.  My all time favorite moments are simply grabbing a cup of coffee and going out to the porch and sitting on the swing and visiting with whoever stops by…I wish life were always like that…and it is, as long as your at Granny’s House!!!!!

   The BEST coffee in the world!!!

Granny has the sweetest way with all the children…she always is willing to teach and show them anything and everything that they have questions about.  She has taught me so much through the years and now she is teaching and loving my children!!!!  

Where are we going? October 15, 2008

Sometimes Skyler says the funniest things…here is the latest:  We recently took a business/vacation trip to Disneyworld.  Skyler loves to fly and thinks that we are going on an adventure everytime we get on a plane…even though we tell her where we are going.  After takeoff…and we were climbing into the sky…the Sun was blinding us because is was so bright coming into the plane.  Skyler said “Mommy, where are we going?”  I told her we were going to Orlando where Disneyworld is located.  She looked at me like I did not know what I was talking about and said “I don’t think so…I think we are going to visit the sun!!!!”

  Here we are at the airport!

Missouri caves October 15, 2008

I recently took Skyler, Gunner and Gage to one of our local parks – Sequiota Park.  One of the facinating things about Missouri is that it is covered with caves!!!!  This paticular park has one that allows kiddos to explore…needless to say, this is their favorite park!
