summer fun with friends

So it's been a long time since my last post but my hubby was out of town on business so no extra time to do posts so here is what has been going on. Since my husband has been gone I have been keeping the kids occuppied. So here are some things we have done reading, playing at the park, taking long walks, watching movies, going to the coffee shop, and playing with friends. We also went to the local rodeo parade where pop pop drove the ambulance and one of the kidses sitters rode a horse. then we went to gramie and pops for a sleep over. we rosted marshmellows and hot dogs, we played games, and watched a movie. it was great. Then daddy came home a couple days later. Next Tim and Jesse came for a visit to gramie and pops. most of you know the relationship I have with (gramie and pops) but for those of you who don't here it is My mother passed away when I was 18 years old and my dad and I weren't getting along so I left home and met my wounderful husband. well life took us to the oppasite side of the state we were living in to a small town where we found a wounderful church and ultamately a family. I became very attached to this couple. My dad and I get along now fine but he is never available to come and visit or just to be there so I have adopted this other couple as my mom and dad they treat me and my kids as their own but make no mistake they have their own kids and their real grand kids. two boys and a girl and one unknown on the way. My kids I know one day will understand the truth of this crazy life but for now all they care about is that they have grandparents who love and cherish them and that is all that matters. I truly thank God daily that he filled a very real and important need in my life when He gave these loving people to me and to my children.To the children of this loving couple you are so blessed to have such loving and Godly parents. I want to thank You for sharing you will never and I do mean never know how blessed I am because you are so unselfish in sharing something so sacred as your parents Thank-you..... All of that to say Their oldest son and his wife came to town for a visit and brought their beautiful daughter The first grand baby girl Ella. we got the oppertunity to go to coffee with Ella , Aunti Jesse and Gramie. Enjoy all the pics I know I do love to all bye

He had shark teeth you know two rows. now he has three holes. so when we went to the dentist to get his teeth pulled the dentist let him wear these cool glasses and head phones the glasses are a tv he watched transformers while getting his teeth pulled. you don't get cooler than that.
