Boys and water...what fun!

Lukas thought it was such fun to put his toes in the water while Uncle Frankie was watering the new sod...of course only a moment later he was soaked and taking off the wet shirt and shorts! Such glee! And Goy was squeeling with excitement while playing in his own water fun at home :-) What is it about water that brings out the fun in little boys and not so little boys :-)

GGMa has the right touch :-) Marion was quite content in her arms!
And Goy just loves his Great Auntie Mary :-)
Looks like Marion might have her momma's curls!
So much for cupboard locks keeping him safe~~...hmmm...

Blesssings...

...it's hard to believe that Justin and Erin have been out of school 10 years already! Lukas and Kaylee came to play while Daddy and Mommy went to the reunion. Lukas and Tucker had lots of fun playing in Maddie's wading pool in the kennel while Maddie hid from us...just cause we squirted her! Miss Kaylee was a little unsure at first, but decided we weren't all that bad :-) We got some sweet smiles and kisses! We watched Nemo and Toy Story and The Incredibles and had fun all day!

The Gift of an Ordinary Day

This was a treat I found on my friend Jessica's blog :-) Smiles...

hmmmm....

Poem by Lowell L. Bennion

Learn to like what doesn't cost much.
Learn to like reading, conversation, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people, even though some of them may be...different from you.
Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction of doing your job as well as it can be done.
Learn to like the songs of birds, the companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house and fixing things.
Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows, and the gentle fall of snow on a winter's day.
Learn to keep your want simple and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others.
