UnFOURgettably 4 Friday!

Playing peekaboo with your cousin...memories! These two had quite a time video chatting this week while we had MGM. They were giggling, having snacks and just doing life with the video call going. Love technology for things just like this.

UnFOURgettably 4 Friday!

We have missed this face since she went home...but it's always good to "see" her on our photo stream! She has been enjoying the nicer, warmer weather.

UnFOURgettably 4 Friday!

We celebrated this guy's birthday this week. Good thing it was early in the week as one of us has been "down" with the crud. It's not pretty around here and I am so thankful we bought the BIG pack of tissues at the warehouse store cause I may use every single one of them at this rate. He enjoyed lunch out at his favorite hamburger place. Then he was also treated to cereal bars which is another favorite. Glad he is mostly over the crud but not so glad he shared...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MiRV!

UnFOURgettably 4 Friday!

So the new post is born...UnFOURgettably 4 Friday. It may not be a weekly regular but that will be the goal.

We have had her with us since Sunday and it looks like we will take her back tomorrow. She has kept us laughing this trip for sure. She has had "a situation" that she needed me to help her with on LaLa's computer. She also had dry pull ups overnight each night she was here. Growing up on us she is. She is obsessed with rhyming words and constantly wants to know if something is rhyming with this or that and then she is onto opposites. She is an avid book lover and wants to read anything and everything anytime, anywhere.


Cousin time was definitely a favorite this week!

UnFOURgettably 4!

Our granddaughter is FOUR! We have had birthday palooza since Wednesday. And today she wanted to come home with us...so she did. We celebrated all day long. Breakfast with cousins and aunts, back home for a little celebration with daddy along with a pink cupcake then off to MO with us. We stopped at Starbuck's for a pink cake pop then dinner at Cracker Barrel where she had pancakes! Ended the evening on the couch with a little Octonauts. I think she had a pretty perfect day. This was after a big bowling bash yesterday. It's been a celebration palooza for sure!




This is from the bowling bash day...

What a great birthday she has had! Looking forward to another year of loving and watching her learn and grow. She is a joy.

Happy, Happy

Our girl is on her last year of the 2's. Hard to believe. It seems like just yesterday you made our twosome a threesome and now here you are a mom yourself with a nearly 4 year old. Unreal. We love you and your little family.

You are a great mom. You continue to grow in your role as a homemaker. You are the maker of the memories for your little crew. Memories are good, keep making them. Don't get sidetracked, those two are your world, your responsibility; keep making it happen. You will not regret any efforts in that department, promise.

You make us proud. You keep doing you. Somedays may be messy but it's your you so do it as best you can,

Enjoy your day, your year. We love you!

No more Wild & Three Thursday!

Oh, goodness, it's ANOTHER new year and as the saying goes it sure flew by. Unbelievable in many ways that this year will mark 7 years since military retirement began and the Daughter graduated from college and married. It will also beTrigger's FOURTH birthday next month. Sadly, it has also been 5 years since we lost MiRVs brother. 

It's hard to believe it's really 2020. When I was younger that seemed like a date that was sooooo far away into a future that was hard to imagine I would ever see and yet here we are. I am not a big resolutions advocate as I think fresh starts can be made at any time but hey go for it if you need extra motivation to jump into something because it is after all a new year! Clean slate so to speak. 

It will be interesting to see what this year brings. We are certainly, according to MiRV, planning to get in more traveling in as we have completed many of our house projects. Of course as is the way with homeownership, "there is always something". Our yard is still a work in progress but I fear that will be the case as long as we own this place! Otherwise it's pretty much minor tweaks and keeping the place up. I have always said home ownership is NOT for the faint of heart and I stand by that. Last year we put on the patio cover and it cost waaaaaay more then we planned. ROHO is still being finished when the mood strikes. Since we have it enclosed and have the electricity hooked up we have slowed our work pace.

Many blessings to you and yours as you begin another year. While I will miss our weekly connections on Wild and Three Thursday I will still try to make semi regular postings until I figure out what is next for regular blogging motivation!
