Great to be a Kid

When I was taking Brandon to preschool yesterday he looked up at me and asked,

"Mom do you ever wonder what it feels like to be a kid?" "Yes", I said. He replied,

"It's GREAT mom, except when people growl at me; then it is kind of scary”. Aren't kids wonderful!

Good Times with family

Wow, I have been quite the slaker these days on up-dating our blog. Life has been crazy. My sister Bonnie and her family came to visit over spring break. We had a great visit and I posted some photos of all the fun!

A Birthday Bash

Taylor turned 7 this past week. Boy how time does fly! This year she selected the Littlest Pet Shop as her theme. Nine of Taylor's little friends came over and we had a fun party full of games, crafts and cake and ice cream. Taylor is turning into just an amazing young lady with a compassionate heart and a sweet spirit.
