ThrowBack Thursday ~ Daddy and baby Colby...

Grandma's Favorite Work Out Partner...

How lucky am I that Colby wants to go to the gym with me. We have gone a few times together and it fast becoming one of my favorite routines. I'm grateful his school is just close enough that he can walk over to our house. There's something special about our walk up to the gym with him beside me. Colby always holds the door open for me, he's a real gentleman. The drive to the gym and back is wonderful too. Colby shares pieces of his day at school or whatever happens to be on his mind. He's definitely my favorite workout partner! 

Charity suffereth long...

And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

In Like a Lamb...

March definitely showed up today in full lamb mode-it was almost 60 degrees. It was perfect day for a walk on Canyon Road. 

Of course since I was in the neighborhood, I couldn't resist stopping by to see Mark, Tiff, and the Grands.

Grey and Grahm went with me to take Grizzly and Ruby for a walk. I really wouldn't mind having an adventure with them everyday. What a wonderful way to start the month. 

Grizz stopped to smell the daffodils!

And of course a trip to Harmon's is always a good idea! I'm forever grateful for days like this and my wonderful grandsons.

Balloon Bugles...

Grandpa had a fun idea and he took Grey and Grahm to his shop so they could help him. With PVC pipe, tape, and balloons they made bugles. The balloon bugles were a big hit. There was laughter and a lot of "music." The noise level was impressive! 

Grey's big smile!

One of my favorite things is to watch Tim being a grandpa... 

best grandpa for sure.

Self care...

Since Christopher discovered the Provo River Trail, it has become one of my favorite places to go for a walk. No matter the season it is inspiring and beautiful. In winter, when the trail is bare and hushed, the canyon teaches me that rest has its own kind of beauty. The snow capped mountains are the perfect backdrop.

Self-care doesn't have to be complicated or grand to be effective. Sometimes movement, stillness, fresh air, and cool mountain spring water is all one needs.

Therapeutic and spiritual...

ThrowBack Thursday ~ Kiss for brother...

I had such a wonderful afternoon at the park with Colby, Grey, and Grahm. Grahm loves his brother Colby. 

Three gates...

Before you speak let your words pass through three gates:

Is it true?
Is it necessary?
Is it kind?

One sweet Sunday...

It was sweet to walk in church last Sunday and see Colby preparing the sacrament. We really wanted to be there to hear Mark and Tiffani give talks.

Sitting together with the Grand's also felt especially sweet. Mark and Tiffani both gave excellent talks. I'm so grateful for both of them and of course they made me proud!

Photo credits once again go to Grahm!

I took Grahm home and then we went for a walk with Grizzly and Ruby. I enjoy going for walks around Mark and Tiffani's neighborhood. It's such a beautiful setting. It was especially sweet to be with Grahm. We have the best conversations. 

We forgot the clean-up bags and Grahm ran all the way to the other end of the park to get one. I didn't ask him to he just did that on his own, and cleaned up after the doggies.

We were walking home and saw Colby and his friends headed back from church. We are still having some extra nice Winter days.

Grey and Grahm went with me to get a few things at Harmon's which included a sweet treat. 

I really don't tell Grahm to pose for pictures, he just has that big fun personality. Grey just goes along and smiles sweetly.

So very lucky!

Yes, one sweet Sunday...

ThrowBack Thursday ~ Cornbelly's with Cash...

I think this was the first time we went to Cornbelly's. What a fun day with our Cashee boy.
