Spiritual Stamina...

It is my testimony that we are facing difficult times. We must be courageously obedient. My witness is that we will be called upon to prove our spiritual stamina, for the days ahead will be filled with affliction and difficulty.

But with the assuring comfort of a personal relationship with God, we will be given a calming courage. From the Divine so near we will receive the quiet assurance:

"My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;"

My grandsons...

The light in my days

The sparkle in my smile

 Grahm likes this TMNT jacket I got him!

The Navajo tacos were a big hit.

Gourmet hot chocolate!

Roll a snowman was a lot of fun!

Some handsome teenager got his learner's permit and Grandpa has been teaching Cash how to drive a stick shift!

Grey's frist time to do baptisms for the dead.

Always grateful for Grandma Days and this crazy warm winter weather. But I'm praying for rain or snow.

Grahm giving his Mom the best hug!

Saying goodbye to tubby time...

Bath time with my grandsons will always be one of my favorite moments. Splashing, giggles, floating toys, and that clean as a whistle smell that felt like pure love to me.

Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm would open the cabinet and start throwing the toys in the tub. I would usually bathe them two at a time.

Now the are too big for tubby time, except maybe Grahm, and that makes my heart a little sad. Not because I don't love who they are becoming, but because I loved that season so much. I guess it's time to retire the bath toys--but per Tiffani's request I'll tuck them away for future great-grandchildren. Some memories are too special to let go.

The Tupperware pitchers and cups were one that I got when Chris and Mark were small.

I gave the Mr. Bubbles to Grahm, he will still have fun with them in the tub! I called them Mr. Bubs and Grahm would ask for Mr. Bubs!

Sweetest memories...

Colby and Grey with almost all the bath toys! Sometimes when I would wash Grey's hair he would say, "Don't like it Grandma." I was always so careful not to get soap in their eyes.

Three of them in the tub, Grahm was so little.
