Football Game & Two Special Young Boys

I went to my oldest grandson's flag football game this morning. It was very windy and a little on the cool side but I still enjoyed getting to watch him. To see his face light up when he sees that I'm there just warms my heart like you wouldn't believe. He is such a joy, so kind and tenderhearted. Oh, I love that boy so much! He is 7 years old and will still blow me a kiss from out on the field. I hope he will always enjoy seeing his grandma as much as he does now whether he's 7 or 27 or older than that. He is such a delight to be around and to visit with and to watch play football or ride a 4-wheeler or read a book. He is so considerate and so polite. Oh yes, I am very proud of him, just in case you hadn't guessed. By the way, he's the one wearing the red hoodie under his team shirt. Here are a few of his pictures from his game. I realized that some parents may not want their child's picture on someone's blog so that's why everyone except my grandson is so blurred.

The rest of these pictures were taken after the game. This is my youngest grandson and he is such a joy, too.

He's 4 years old. He is one that can light up a room just by walking in to it. He comes in as if to say, "hello world, I'm here!" He is just naturally funny and knows how to make you laugh. What a gift! With that humor comes a little bit of mischief as well. Bet you can't tell by looking at his pictures, can you? He is also one that is hard to discipline (like I ever have to do that!) because he can do that cute tip of the head and smile and bat those big, dark brown eyes at you and just melt your heart. Aw gee! I am one blessed grandma!

My favorite men

Well, it's been a couple days again but I have spent soooo much time looking at so many other people's wonderful blogs that it's been so late by the time I get to mine that I just haven't taken the time. You all are so talented and truly amazing out there. To have little kids around all the time and still find time for all of your talents...well, I'm impressed. Most days when I get home from work the last thing I feel like doing is dragging all my craft stuff out and then having to put it all away again when I'm done. Plus trying to squeeze dinner in there as well. And I don't have little kids running around. What's your secret?
I would like to share a picture with you all of my 3 favorite "men" in the world. They are my husband and my two grandsons after going for a ride in Grandpa's jeep. They love going out for jeep rides with him. He does all kinds of fun things to make them laugh! Of course, they just love being with Grandpa period. Aren't they the cutest!



Here is another one of the things that the boys have always loved doing when they've been at our house. It's roasting marshmallows in the firepit and making smores. They also enjoy singing the Veggie Tale song about smores sometimes while we sit out there. I absolutely adore these guys! They sure know how to brighten their Gramma's life.



The youngest one's birthday is coming up in a little over a week and he'll be four. The oldest one is seven. School will be starting for them both that same week. Here's another picture I'd like to share with you of the boys.



And yes, most of the time they do get along like this! I just want to smile every time I look at this picture of them!
Well, maybe next time I'll have found time to do something creative and I'll take a picture and show you all. Maybe.................

I do have a life...

I have been so anxious to get back on here and post another blog but thought having more than one in a day might show that I sit with my laptop way too many hours in the day wasting time where if I waited one day before posting again it would seem that I have some sort of a life. I have played with some of the pictures I've taken on this site called Picnik that Kayla told me about. Here are a couple examples from some pictures of flowers from my yard. I have been learning while I'm recuperating so that's a good thing. See...it has been educational sitting around doing nothing while I recuperate.

Anyways, I just got a call from my wonderful husband just checking to see how I'm feeling today. See how blessed I am! I really do have a terrific husband. The joke is that it's only taken 31 years to get him trained the way I want him so I think I'll keep him. Actually, he's been a good husband all along. Very kind and loving and oh, so funny! He knows how to make me laugh! He's been a great dad to our daughters and a fun grandpa as well. I wouldn't trade him for anything! Besides all that, he's good looking too. Woo woo!
I also got a call from Del Ann at work and she said things are running smooth there but that I'm missed and also that another friend would like to bring a meal tomorrow evening. More blessings...to be missed and another wonderful friend with a meal. I know I should probably say, "No, that's okay, we're doing fine and don't need another meal", but not me, no, instead I said, "Oh, that's so nice of her!". Which it is very nice of her but to turn down a free meal when, like I said yesterday, how spoiled my husband's getting with all the good food, and this way I get to visit with another sweet friend of mine. Her and her husband are a couple of the nicest people you could meet.
Another blessing...my sweet, pregnant daughter, Kayla had also called to check in with me and visit this morning. Did I say that she's pregnant? Yep, her & her husband will be first time parents some time in February. I can't wait! I love this being a Gramma! I have two grandsons already that are the joy of my life by my oldest daughter, Heidi. They are 7 and almost 4 and light up your world when they're around. They sure know how to make a Gramma feel loved!
Well, I don't think blogs are supposed to be books so I guess I'd better sign off for a while so anyone who actually reads this would think I do have a life...
