Steak and Melvin...

I've asked Colby a few times what his favorite food is and he always says steak. I picked up a steak and after we went to the gym, I told him we could grill the steak. His reaction was so sincere when he told me thank you. He grilled the steak while I cooked asparagus and a few potatoes. It was delightful to visit with him and enjoy the meal. He thanked me several more times. I loved surprising him with a steak.

We ended our visit just in time to pick Grey and Grahm up from school, which is another thing I love to do!

I brought this cute monster home and Grahm named him Melvin. Grahm and Grey took turns giving Melvin a warm welcome! Melvin survived and is resting in the garage until next time.

My cute helper and yogi!

Grey was excited to a have a little whipped cream with his strawberry shortcake. I always tell the boys to make the whipped cream look pretty.

It always makes me smile when I see the Grands get out toys they haven't played with for a while.

Mark came to fetch his boys but not before a game of pool. Grey is getting better fast! 

Gym with Colby and Grandma Days... always grateful!

Showing up...

Today I went to all four of our grandson's games, Cash and Grey's soccer games and Colby and Grahm's flag football games. So from about 9:30 to 3:00 I was cheering them on from the sidelines. I have felt for a long time that showing up is important-and that's what it comes down to for me.

Childhood moves quickly and I'm grateful for these busy Saturdays. I enjoy watching Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm play no matter the score. As an added bonus we get to watch Mark coach Cash and Grey's game. He gives his all and does a great job.

The weather was absolutely perfect, not too hot, and with beautiful partly cloudy skies!

Someone got his braces off! Grahm is very happy about this.

Colby and I had a late lunch after his game and Grandpa spent the afternoon with Cash after his game. Yes, Saturdays are full but it's the kind of full that fills my heart with gratitude for the chance to show the Grands that they are so important to us!

Always grateful...

ThrowBack Thursday ~ Special afternoon with Grey...

I love spending time with Grey Max

Living for the weekend...

I happily sometimes call it... living for the weekend. Spring keeps us busy going to the Grands games. I enjoy cheering on Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm. I love having a front row seat to watching their determination and growth. They are always team players and good sports.

So here's to some early Saturday mornings, folding chairs, and that good feeling when the weekend finally arrives. Grandpa and I will go to as many games as we can!

Sunday Grandpa took Cash and Grey flying. They also had dinner with us and we played a few games. It was a wonderful afternoon.

Always grateful
