Weekend

Image
We had some visitors this weekend. So we went to the park. Here is Callie and her beautiful smile. This little one liked eating her dress. Courtney wanted some family pictures. Not easy to do with a 2 year old. I love this baby, she is so chill. I love these guys too, but they are not so chill. In an effort to try and get a picture of her,  we put her in this little car. It didn't really work. Pretty girls. Busy dad. The swimming was good. It is nice to have hot springs around, because it won't be warm enough to swim for a few more weeks. I don't know why this picture won't turn around, but she reminds me of her dad when she smiles. It was a good weekend.

Saturday

I went to the wedding of a co-worker yesterday. Let me just say that I am not used to a mariachi band during the ceremony.   I realize that I have grown use to having a peaceful ceremony inside a temple of God.   I did have fun spending time with some of my friends.

Mothers Day

When I grew up, there was always a newspaper clipping taped to our fridge.   They were always from Erma Bombeck.    She was always there.  Here is one of her best: “When God Created Mothers" When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into His sixth day of "overtime" when the angel appeared and said. "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."  And God said, "Have you read the specs on this order?" She has to be completely washable, but not plastic. Have 180 moveable parts...all replaceable. Run on black coffee and leftovers. Have a lap that disappears when she stands up. A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair. And six pairs of hands."  The angel shook her head slowly and said. "Six pairs of hands.... no way."  It's not the hands that are causing me problems," God remarked, "it's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."  That's on the s...

Cinco de Mayo

I don't usually do anything for Cinco de Mayo but I am in the mood today. Plus, we have Scott home to help us eat the food. This scene reminds me of a weed pulling adventure we had last summer. Wes was pulling out the ground cover, telling me it was covering everything . I stopped him in the middle of his project because I wanted the ground cover. Every time I walk out the door, it makes me smile.                      Wes's side ------------------------------------>  my side I hate to say, it, but his week, I like his better. And then there are new tulips that have joined us. I can't help it, I love Spring.
