No school = A day with the Grands...

Because all the 7th graders went on a field trip to the zoo, I didn't have school on Wednesday! So, I got to spend the day with Cash and Colby.

We started the day by visiting Daddy and Grandpa. Colby said, that would make Daddy and Grandpa so happy!


 You know Grandpa loves to give advice, 
so Cash and Colby are getting some at his office!

It's good to know your rights!

By the way, our visit did make them happy.

Next we went to Target for an early Easter toy. I told them before we went in the store that they couldn't get a big, huge toy but a small to medium toy. They we not demanding at all and took their time choosing the toy they wanted. And of course being the very polite boys they are, they said thanks.

We had a yummy lunch at Chick-fil-A and they ate every bite! We went home after that so Cash and Colby could play with their new toys. After they played awhile I tried to get Colby to take a N-A-P. He usually will, but not this time. He kept say that Daddy said he didn't have to take a nap!

It was such a beautiful day we went for a walk to the park. They played in the big "sandbox" and fed the ducks.

Cash and Colby play so well together. Colby loves his big brother. Sometimes Cash gets busy playing and Colby is trying to tell him something. He will say Cash, Cash and when he doesn't answer he will say, Cash doesn't want to talk to me.





 Digging for buried treasures!


We decided Gramps wouldn't mind if had a couple of his popsicles.


While Cash and Colby were eating their popsicles, Cash spied a bird at the very top of the pine tree!

I'm grateful every day that we live nearby our family. It is by far one the greatest blessings I have. To spend time with them gives me such joy. I learn many things each time I am with my grandsons. They make want to be a better person. I need to do better, I don't ever want to disappoint them.

I love the song, God Gave Us Families...
Our Father has a family. It’s me!
It’s you, all others too: we are His children.
He sent each one of us to earth, through birth,
To live and learn here in families.
A father’s place is to preside, provide,
To love and teach the gospel to his children.
A father leads in family prayer to share
Their love for Father in Heaven.
 
A mother’s purpose is to care, prepare,
To nurture and to strengthen all her children.
She teaches children to obey, to pray,
To love and serve in the family.
 
I’ll love and serve my family and be
A good example to each family member.
And when I am a mom or dad, so glad,
I’ll help my family remember:

God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be—
This is how He shares His love, for the family is of God. 
I love my family. I am not perfect and I fall short, but being part of family helps me want to be all that Heavenly Father wants and expects me to be. I thank them for their love and patience.
