Happy, happy heart day to these two...N.I.N.E. years, unbelievable!
It's hard but you've stayed committed and you have a byproduct that is precious. It's never as easy as you think but worth it to stay the course. Keep on keeping on and enjoy the hard days as they are the memory makers.
Love you both!
Last week I think I failed to mention another milestone...she's now lost FOUR teeth. Licorice was the helper in this. It was already quite loose but a Twizzlers helped it make it's way all the way out! Tooth fairy found her at the Meadow (though she was a bit concerned on that front) and left $2.00. She was pretty excited!

This weekl I'm somewhere in the heart of Iowa or maybe Minnesota today. I'm off on another girl's trip and then next week it is off to Colorado with Bee. We are excited to take her in ROADA again and she is excited to go. She would have liked to go to the ocean but we are taking her to the mountains instead. We will have a few advance days with her as we slowly make our way out then mom and dad are coming in for a week in a mountainside condo.
Living the dream around here and loving it!
It's fair week...we are exhausted and it's only Wednesday but the girl is having a ball! She's been a great cheerer at the SuperTeen contests. She is a keen observer and notices so many things. And last night she showed a goat in the PeeWee Goat Show. She and Sqeekers made a great team...
She has also been a great helper as we did some sprucing up at the Grands. She helped out and so did her momma. We are officially on the market with a real estate agent. Another hard but necessary step.
So we truly are totally exhausted to be honest but we are having so much fun. She loves country life and the fair is definitely her jam. Lots of pork burgers, lemonade and nachos are getting in our bellies.
It was a Happy 4th of July here at the Meadow!
It was a boomin' good time. Best part the girls are returning for the VCYF!
Got our crew arriving tomorrow for the big boom holiday. So many choices to get in the celebrating spirit it is hard to decide where to go and what to do. Gathering with the famdamily will be Friday, probably will participate in the Stonegate Parade on the 4th but we are undecided on the 2nd as there are two great options, then we may just take the 3rd off and get back into celebrating on the 4th. We will also be trying to hit the farmer's market and hope for peaches and produce if not maybe we will run up to the Amish stand north of town.
It's been hot but Sunday was absolutely not and gorgeous and we enjoyed some patio time as well as biking. Monday we biked again all the way into town to the post office. It's been a slow week, I've been scrapbooking again but still feel so far behind and overwhelmed with all that needs to be done. I've made a plan but not feeling like it will be done very quickly and put that with life goes by everyday so will I ever get caught up???
Happy Early 4th to you and yours!
The 60th birthday Kansas trip, which we dubbed the "water tower tour" was a success. You only turn 60 once and she wanted to go back to her roots. We not only took the back roads we took our time and enjoyed a slow laid back pace. It was quite a good trip. We also hit the birth towns of the other Kansans.
Then we made it back so we could join in on the B. I. G. 2 celebration! FUN stuff!!!
And let's not forget Father's Day...it was a bit of a weepy one for me. However, we still went out to lunch and had ice cream to celebrate MiRV. The Northern girl rocked a tournament over the weekend. They did well and she had a good time, she is making lots of improvements since playing with this team.
The water towers across small town America are neat to see and we made a point of looking for them in each little town we went through. I leave you with a small sampling of the ones we saw...
We returned from the North late Sunday evening. Stayed longer to see the Bee in her Vacation Bible School Program. What a joy that was...and wow what memories were brought back to when her momma did the same!
