Awesome Grandkids

Here are all of the grandkids except Gillan.

More on Gillan and Gracie in the previous post.

  

Left to right:  Andrew, Nathan, Gracie girl, and Joshua.

 I have to be the most blessed grandma ever!

Number 1 Grandson

This young teen....soon to be 15 

made me a first time grandma, 

Therefore, I call him my #1 grandson.

I longed to be a grandma and I do love all

five of my grandchildren with all of my heart and soul.

But, the first one did really brighten up my heart on first sight.

Gillan feels a call on his life into ministry of some type.

He is very musically inclined - gifted and talented.

He cares about people and their needs.

I can't help it, but this picture looks almost angelic

in this Grandma's eyes.

Thank you Gillan and Gracie for the visit to see us

this week.

We truly enjoyed having you and Gracie here for

a few days.  I know you both have so many 

activities, but you both made time for us and we 

appreciate it.

Gracie was my second born and only granddaughter.
She will soon be 13....much too soon for me.

She is cheerful, fun and delightful.

She is growing up and gets prettier every day. 

Gracie I enjoyed our visit to the Tea Room with

you and your Aunt Katie.

We all think you are pretty special.

You are equally talented in so many ways.

Singing, soccer, and more.

You are a joy to be around.

So Gracie, you are my Number 1 (first) granddaughter.

 I love you girl!!

Wild Flowers and Butterflies

Black-Eyed Susan

The masses of yellow flowers with black centers are beautiful.

But in truth, they are wild flowers.  Farmers would not want

them growing in their crop fields.

These flowers are in a cemetery just across the

fence from our home.  I can view them from my

window in the dining room.

I have read that the Black-Eyed Susan

is now being planted along highways and in some residential 

areas for beautification. 

 I chased all around my Rose of Sharon bushes this

afternoon, to catch some shots of these butterflies.

 Beauty and busyness of the butterfly amazes me.

The Many Faces of Nathan

This three year old is one loving, funny, and mischievous kid.....my youngest grandchild.  Yep, I love this kid...and I love the other four, as well.

Who wouldn't love a "face" like this??

Special Time with Grandkids

Memorial Day weekend was most enjoyable.  Our children, in-laws, and grandchildren are such a blessing.  There is never a dull moment when these cousins are together.  Some how, Nathan missed out on this creative activity, and this photo shoot.

 Josh and Andrew are always master minds in the sand box.

 Making a fun mess!!

 Gillan....a strong Christian young man and a serious musician and vocalist.

 Gillan and Gracie have joined their talents.

They both are amazing when they sing.

 Gracie is cute, funny, and sassy.

 Cutie among the roses!

Thank you Gillan and Gracie for singing

in our church today.

I know you blessed many people.

A Picture Speaks a Thousand Words

Sunrise in Oklahoma

There are several things in the pictures above that

are valued by a good farmer.

Early morning sunrise followed by clear skies, green grass, 
fresh baled hay, grazing sheep, 

and growing heifers.

The farmer's wife likes those things too!

But, she really loves blooming flowers 
in the spring!

Oh!  Hello Timmy!
