Where can I get some sheep?

Willard I have this great idea, do you want to chase some sheep?


My brother-in-law sent me this you tube link It cracked me up so I thought I would share it.

Bird watcher

Hold on there Willard those bread crumbs are for the birds.


Bailey made a bird house at Home Depot on Saturday and brought it up to my house, then the rest of the day and all day Sunday she watched out the window, sprinkled cracker crumbs, then made a trail of bread crumbs for the birds to follow so they could build a nest in the new bird house, she got so excited everytime a bird got close to the bread crumbs or the bird house and if her numbers are correct we had just over a million birds in the yard over the weekend. I love how she used the middle of the bread (ever kid knows that's the best part)

On the Road again

I miss him too Willard, but think of it this way, now you have your own room!


So Trevor came home from his 2 year Church Mission on Feb. 17 and now he's driving cross country to work for the summer. I know it's a good think for him and I did tell him to go, after all when is he ever going to be more young and free than he is now and he'll be able to see some sights and do things he would never be able to do if he stayed in Phoenix, but man I miss him.


Here is where they will be dirving today and finishing up the trip.

Clean baby clean

Willard it's 2am why are you still up?

I fell asleep on the couch the other night, (which I seem to do a lot), when I woke up around midnight, everyone had gone to bed the t.v. was on some strange movie and for a minute I didn't know what day it was (I hate when that happens)so I got up put away a few things and before I knew it I was cleaning my house, I almost vacuumed but decided it might wake someone up. Around 2am Willard came down to see what I was up to, I'm not sure but I think he check his watch for the time, anyway we talked for a while then he went back upstairs I heard him scratch on one of the doors so I went to see what he wanted, turned out Patrick's door was shut so Willard couldn't get into bed, poor baby, I opened the door, noticed Patrick wasn't even home. Remember when you were young and liked staying up late? Oh well . . . I went to finish cleaning, funny how much you can get done in the middle of the night, no one to bother you, or phones to answer, this could become a habit.

How do kids grow up so fast?

I was telling Willard the other day how cute he was when he was little, . . . he just looked at me.

I went to Bailey's first baseball game on Wednesday, she looked so cute all decked out in her new uniform, her hat pulled down so she could just see out, her hair in braids, that made her easy to pick out when she was out in the field. When it was her turn to bat none of us could take our eyes off of her, she even got a hit. It was so fun to watch a bunch of seven year olds play for the first time, I couldn't help but think of Trevor and Patrick playing ball when they were little. Trevor was so small he always got the number 2 jersey, which worked out nice with his initials being T.W.O. So after a while he picked the number 2 before anyone else could get it. One of the first games Patrick played in he rolled the ball to the first baseman after he figured out that the poor kid just couldn't catch it. We had a lot of fun made some friends and got a good tan too. Soccer, baseball, football, basketball, practices, games and fundraisers, then throw in a bunch of golf, ah.... those were the days, no wonder I was crazy, but somehow watching my grand daughter play, all I could do was wonder where the years went.
