Prayer of protection...

Psalms 91:11

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. KJV

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; NIV

Golden moments...

Golden moments:
It's the moments in life that make us light up and smile. Those unspoken moments of joy where your heart melts and you wish you could freeze that feeling in time. A moment that you aspire to go back in your lifetime! A moment that you'll cherish to take with you to your grave!

Just a few simple, but for me, are golden moments.

It's been wonderful to have Christopher home for a few months. He moved out of his very expensive Airbnb to a cottage in American Fork. His childhood friend, Duke remodeled his great aunt's house. It's small but cozy, and Chris will be comfortable there until he decides to back to Asia. We cleaned out his also expensive storage unit and helped Chris get settled. It's a lot of work but Chris makes it fun and rewards us with a homecooked meal or takes us out to a fancy restaurant! 

Shrimp taquitos!!!!!

Life changing butter cake, I'm not joking! 

Tim captured this beautiful sunset on his way home from Christopher's cottage.

I was telling Colby, Grey, and Grahm about Chris's new place and decided to just drive by and show them. I didn't think Chris would be home but when got there he was standing in the doorway, and had arrived just a few minutes before we did. It was fun to show them around. Colby really liked the cottage and said it was perfect for one person!

Colby and Grey painted these gnomes, they are so cute!

I don't want to ever forget Grey's amazing eyelashes and his golden hair. 

The last few times Colby, Grey, and Grahm have come for Grandma Day, they have played with some oldie but goodie toys. I played Whac-a-mole with Grahm about 20 times! Colby and Grey looked at their marble collections and did some trading. Of course we had a foosball tournament. Grahm is holding his own against the big boys!  

I love these pictures of Grahm in Grandpa's shop, more golden moments.

Golden!

Throw Back Thursday - Baby Jack...

 Such a cute dog, Jack has a birthday this month!

Give more...

(PC to Grandpa)

Maybe instead of writing down everything you want in life,
you write down every way you are going to give in life.

The only currency the Universe understands is intention and energy.

What you put out, always comes back.

So if you want more LOVE, success, connection, peace, and power

give more of the same thing you are calling in.

~ Brandon  Collinsworth 

ThrowBack Thursday ~ So little...

Our neighbor Linda gave Cash that cute coat. He looks so warm and cozy. He's holding one of Grandpa's donkeys. We went for a lot of walks when we lived in Hidden Oaks. We stopped by Susan's and I took this darling picture. I'm missing those days.

Make your bed every morning..

 

If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can't do the little things right, you will never do the big things right. And, if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made — that you made — and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better. If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.

End of year family fun!

Colby dusted off the traveling bowling trophy that Cash made. Who will be the winner this year?

It's a simple but fun tradition to go bowling at the end of the year.

Throwback with Mark and Grahm, 2019!

Grahm was so happy he got a strike. I think it's because he was wearing his lucky dinosaur pajamas!

Well, Mark and his crazy spin ball pulled off the win! 

We missed our Tiffani, she was helping Grandma Darling.

Happy New Year! 

Last sleepover of the year...

We just had to have one more sleepover this year! I promised Grahm we could have one over Christmas break and he never forgets. We enjoyed having just Grey and Grahm this time. There was a lot of singing and dancing. Grahm even recited a poem he memorized. He is something else! I'm so grateful for all the wonderful memories we made in 2022 and look forward to many more. We just adore Grey and Grahm.

"I wonder why, I wonder why there are 

so many things bigger than I

Why the sea is salt and the river is long

The moon is cold and the sun is hot

There are so many things I wonder about 

and I liked to find a few of them out."

Grandpa hides a lot of treats downstairs!
