The Poopin Chickins

Grandma found some fabulous little treats that she just could not pass up at Wally World. Easter section Clerence these chicks and bunnies that poop out gum and even jellybeans for a refill. It was a riot in the house.

Everyone got into them. Tanner was a bit unsure why they made a thing like that which I thought was so funny because he is always thinking of industrial inventions and Etc. But he really did have fun after he started filling it up.

There goes the family and the Chicks and Bunnies just a Poopin out candy left and right. And y'all thought you've seen it all. Nope Grandma brought more life in the hope and I have a request on the grocery list for jelly beans to fill the Chickens. Thanks Grandma! The kids Love them.

Grandma & Papa Bruce come down South

We welcomed G&G Gray here to our home. They brought so much excitement to the family. Right now they were watching Amber and Emmie Sail!? Amber and Emmie saw a piece of a plastic little tike table in the pond that once was under water but since the water went down it was able to float away. They wanted to fish it out but we had not a boat. They thought using our dock and the ores from an older boat would work. So they tried. Mind you this is quite a heavy dock with steps attached.

They worked the raft like Tom and Huck and loved every second of it. They were so excited about this adventure! If you will see in from of Emmie is a little spec and that is what they are getting out of the pond. Which is the seat to little tike table.

Still working hard! trying to row together. At the end they succeeded and returned safely with the help of their grandparents that were finishing the supervising. I was cooking.

Twas once apon a vacation and Easter

I hope all had a fabulous Happy Easter! I it was a delight be with our kiddies and are they not so sweet looking? The Bunny did something new this year. A new set of Sunday clothes and a bit of candy was laying out. I would have to say they look mighty sharp. Carowinds Theme Park. A must go. This ride is called the Hurler. As you might have noticed I took the picture and their stomachs sunk.

This is going to be used for our 50th Anniversary Picture. It's Hot and Spicy!! oolala
Go BYU

We have some ducks that have flown into our pond and and have made a home here. They are so gorgeous!!! Jason told me all about these types of ducks. We have here 3 male and 1 female and she and another not shown have nests off shore. I swam around the in the pond to see if I could find it put I do believe I found their area.

I go and feed the ducks around 1ish and they seem to know that I'm going to feed them. They swim right up to our dock and eat and quack. Did you know that they have different sounds of quacking and they mean different things? I heard it after I learned it. It's so cool.

You would think that the pretty green headed ducks would be the female right? NOT! Shameful. Brown for girls. They hide better as the sit on their nest in the woods. Makes sense that way.

I hope everyone is doing good out there. I wanted to share a favorite picture of Christ that always makes me feel closer to him. This picture seems so real for me. I get a warm feeling when I feel my Savior near. How I want to be like him, to serve and to be kind. I think we all have that desire to to good and better. I think at times we need a visual to boost us into gear. Well I guess what I'm saying is that this picture has been my boost it is the picture I take out or pull up when Im in need of comfort. It's a Bookmark in my scriptures.. It's a reminder that I'm just a girl, a daughter of God trying to get back to him and handling the trials given to her the best that I know how. I know that Christ lives, he is my brother my Savior and my Friend. I know that I can call on him and my Father in Heaven in prayer anytime for anything and feel peace and comfort. I have felt it. He answers prayers. Not when you want them answered but in his time. But he does answer.

Patients is a talent my friends and family. If you have been blessed by this please cherish is and use it. I have had to acquire it and practice it. I've done well. It is hard to pick up on a new thing that is not of your own natural function and natural talent. But you can do it, whatever it may be. Set your mind to it and practice. Ive had to think of it as Piano practice. Just 30 minutes daily and walla victory! Don't be sloppy like with potty training kids or puppies and stick them outside or put a pull up on them just to go on break. Whatever your improvement is needs practice. Mine is patience and physical fitness. I never take the time for that like I should. It's now like piano practice to me. Just wanting to share my thoughts of my morning with yawl. Have a great Easter and Hop in gear!

Happy Birthday to our Buttercup & T-Mac. We love you both so much and love the way you bring light into our home. Amber and Tanner are very into music and knowledge. We learn a lot from them. Sometimes its way over our heads:) We are grateful for your minds and spirits. Thank you for being YOU!!!

Jason my Best Friend and Honey. We like to laugh and be silly, play golf (cards), watch movies go on dates and to cut it short we just love to be with each other.

My Daddie is my special pal, I think of him each day. It's nice to see his goofy smile it brings me joy in many ways.

This picture of my older Sis reminds me of when we were young and we were being silly on the decons bench. It's good to see Jen silly.
