<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I knew it had been a while since I had blogged...but this is insane. The last entry was last October's Knight Camp and we just had this years (yes, early but more on that later!) I was feeling overwhelmed with my growing "to-do" list but now I am at a whole new level of feeling so behind on things that I want to do! Ugh....oh well...on to something fun and exciting to talk about....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Knight Camp 2014</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We really don't like doing Knight Camp in the summer because basically Larry and I are not big fans of the hot weather but we knew as kids started going to school we would need to make that transition. Even though we had another year to make that happen, we just decided to go ahead and make it happen. To be honest, our summer has been insane and exactly a week and a half before we left for Knight Camp...the idea popped into my head that we should do it in August. So, we quickly and I mean quickly secured a location (a river house in Boerne) and went into major planning and scheming every waking (and a lot of night time hours for me when I should have been sleeping!) hour! We pulled it off! Whew. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lots of changes have happened in the past few months and a big one is the fact that David and Ashley have moved to Katy, Texas. So, we decided Boerne was a half way mark and thus a good meeting place.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We picked up the boys bright and early on Wednesday, August 13th and headed for Boerne. We had so much fun talking to the boys on the way and even taught them the Knight Camp Song! A song was a first but we couldn't resist re-writing the old "Rolling on the River" song! The kids caught right on to it and it was a blast to see them sing it along with other fun skits at our 1st Annual Knight Camp Skit Night! Whoops...I am getting ahead of myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We arrived in Boerne and started unpacking the mass of groceries, crafts, etc until Emma arrived! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It warms my heart to see these cousins together! Oh how they love each other and the fun they had! Ashley and Hudson stayed for a couple of hours to give Mr. H a break from the car before heading back to Katy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our week was filled with all sorts of crafts, scavenger hunts, games, books, food, playing in the river, fishing, throwing rocks, hiking, water cannon fights, movie night, skit practice, feeding the birds and watching wildlife and the list just goes on and on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here are some of our MANY pictures from this years Knight Camp...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We were all hungry so the first thing was to eat some lunch. As is tradition, we had box lunches (I have found if I can have the first "meal" ready to go in fun little boxes it sure makes it easy when you are trying to unpack and get settled if lunch is ready to go!) I loved hearing all the chatter at the table and all the "what's next Bud and Honey" questions as they are always so anxious for the party to start! </span><br />

Even though she might not really need as much help as even last year, they were forever picking her up and carrying her over rough places, holding her hand or warning her of dangers throughout the week.

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Let me just say we for sure added a lot of rocks to the riverbed over the course of three days!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The
river was really really low. To the point that one of our mail
activities, floating down in kayaks and tubes had to be scratched. We
were bummed but it didn't keep them from having a good time. They loved
skipping rocks, building dams with rocks, fishing, splashing each other,
catching minnows in their butterfly nets and my very favorite...just
hanging out and chilling! This is maybe one of my all time favorite camp
pictures...its a framer!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We took lots of breaks from the heat in the comfort of the house and what better way to spend it than with craft time! These kids are like me, they love to do crafts!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our first craft, and the biggest hit, was making our own boats to race down the "rapids". We had lots of corks, popsicle sticks, fun foam for sails, etc. They got to design and build two different kinds and decorate them however they wanted. It was such a good craft for all the ages and the older ones certainly got into making boats that would race fastest while Emma was most interested in having the cutest, most colorful and of course that her colored sticks were in a "pattern"! I love their little personalities!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After supper, which was very yummy macaroni and cheese dinner complete with all sorts of add-on's such as more cheese, sausage crumbles, bacon bits, etc (big hit!) we played another game...which has become quite the hit. Each person gets jelly beans and we have to try to figure out the flavor! Such a simple game but we get so tickled at the flavors they come up with! Plus they love to see the color of their tongue at the end of the game...its the simple things in life that are so much fun! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I regret that I didn't get a picture of them in bed, but I completely forgot. This might have been one of Emma's favorite parts because for the first time, she got to sleep with the boys instead of closer to Bud and Honey. Owen asked right off if he could room with Emma and they had such a sweet time together. Emma told me at the end of camp that one of her "favorite memories" was getting to sleep in the same room as Owen and that "after we turned out the lights and told them goodnight...they still talked and laughed!" So sweet. Owen was so good to watch after her, again, I was blown away with how well they all got along.</span><br />

The parents loved it and we are pretty sure it was the best end of camp EVER!!</span></div>

A repeat dessert from last years menu because they were such a hit! Waffle cones and then you fill them with whatever suits your fancy...chocolate chips, marshmellows, nutella, nuts, peanut butter chips, etc. Yummy!</span></div>

We packed up the travel trailer of Zach and Meg's (Thank you Z&M for letting us borrow your lovely trailer again) the day before, picked up the boys early on Thursday and headed to Mineral Wells. We arrived, parked the trailer and about 5 minutes Ashley arrived with Emma. We got to get some quick and very sweet snuggles from Hudson before Ashley told her daughter goodbye and headed out. </div>

This years theme was HAPPY CAMPERS....and lots of other adjectives describing our weekend together. ADVENTUROUS, HUNGRY, PLAYFUL, CURIOUS, SLEEPY, HELPFUL, ETC.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As always we had such a great time together. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First of all, thank you Ashley for helping with the invitations design and for letting me describe to you what I would like our shirts to look like...and you drawing up a design that was EXACTLY what I had dreamt of! You are super talented and Knight Camp appreciates your help! :)</div>

These 4 kids are so sweet and so very good. It is so fun to see the changes in them from one year to the next and the way they help each other with activities, etc. Emma is always SOOO excited to spend time with her "cousins" and the boys are just as excited to hang out with her. They are so sweet to one another and the boys are always falling over each other to help Emma with everything. So sweet. One of my favorite things was at each meal a different child would pray...and oh my...what precious sweet prayers they said. One of those memories we will treasure in our heart!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The weather was sooo wonderful. In the mid to high 70's and 50's in the night. So mornings were the perfect hot chocolate kind of mornings! We cooked outside, which seems to always make us so much more hungry! Lots of fun meals, including letting the kids help and learn how to make some dutch oven meals. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We did all sorts of fun activities including hiking, a scavenger hunt, playing games, doing crafts, reading all sorts of books about some of our favorite characters camping adventures, fishing, rock climbing, nature hikes, eating lots of yummy food and falling into bed at night completely worn out! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Saturday afternoon, when the parents arrived, we fed them lunch and then we did some fishing and went over to the rock climbing part of the park for some fun rock climbing. It is really such a beautiful area and the colors were changing so it made for such fun and very beautiful hikes!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Here are some of my favorite pictures from this year...and since I took over 400 pictures...I will try to limit it to a few! :)</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">We are so excited and looking forward to a fun July 4th weekend with our kids and extended family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">As I am finishing up with the food prep and decorating, I was looking back on so many precious memories.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Like my mom's LOVE for July 4th and anything patriotic. She loved the good ole' USA! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">She used to plan a parade with her grandchildren long before neighborhoods thought of the idea.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Each year we would spend the day at Mom and Dad's house. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">The kids would decorate...whatever they were "in to"...tricycle...bike...scooter...go-cart, themselves on skates...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">And they would ride around the driveway and little road between the house and barn.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">And we would clap and wave our flags.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">We would do our own "firework show" which really was just poppers and sparklers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Then we would drive to a location, all sit on top of the cars and in lawn chairs and watch the local firework show. And we would do lots of ooohing and aaaahing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">And my nephew, Cody, would sing "It's a Grand Old Flag" over and over and over and over again. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Ever since Ashley was the Abilene High Champ (Eagle mascot) and was asked to walk in our Hillcrest neighborhood parade, we have gone to watch, then pull our grandkids in the red wagon and now watch them ride their bikes. First tradition is for them to come to the house to decorate their bikes. I really should buy stock in the Scotch Tape brand. :) There is a lot of crepe paper, stars, flags involved in this project and Scotch tape. You can never use to much tape. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">The 3 boys were here this morning and we were getting their bikes ready, I was overwhelmed with emotions. So thankful to all those who have put their life on the line for this country. For our Founding Fathers. For all those who protect us so we can have parades and wave our flags and vote and not be in fear! For all the sweet memories my Mom has given me to think back on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">For instance, how it was my job as a child to sit on top of the ice cream freezer as my Dad cranked the ice cream until it was a perfect creamy delicious treat. Yes, we had electricity back then! But we didn't have electric freezers! I think every single child should have the pleasure of sitting on top of a towel that has been folded over the ice. Yes, it is a cold job...but the rewards were getting to help Dad clean the dasher...with a spoon. Yum.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Or the year Mom and I made little wooden firecracker decorations complete with a little twine fuse, the boys asked if that dynamite was real this morning. It made me laugh!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">So...because I am feeling quite sentimental I will close with some pictures. This is just a few of hundreds of my favorites! I love the expressions...to these little ones...this is serious business...it might as well be the Macy's parade to them. There is pressure to do well, lots of people are watching to see if you can ride a bike or sit in a wagon. After all...its the highly anticipated and well known Hillcrest Neighborhood Parade. I love our little neighborhood.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">(Disclaimer. I had this written before Hudson arrived but was waiting to get a few pictures off of Ashley's camera (mine died! sniff-sniff) before I posted. Then Hudson decided to come 2 weeks early so I am just getting back to catching up with blogging)</span><br />
<br />
Hudson's room is ready...well, I think there are a few last things his Mom is trying to finish up but finished enough to welcome him there...so come on Hudson, you can make your appearance anytime! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to document a few pictures before he arrives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Larry once again made the dresser, as I mentioned in my Easter post but here is another shot of it and a couple more. Ashley really wanted Hudson's nursery to be something that his Daddy would love...and I think you did a great job Ashley! Not only is it adorable, but I am just betting Hudson's dad is a big fan!</div>

This picture isn't great but Larry made the lamp from an old barn lantern that belong to Joe & Patti (Hudson's grandparents) and Ashley found a cute burlap shade to top it off.</div>

The crib. So cute and such a fun mix of fabrics. We love Cabbage Rose.<br />
<br />
It was fun to get to help Ashley again with the nursery. She is sweet to let me be a part of the decorating...it is something we so enjoy doing together.<br />

Now all we need is Hudson Whitfield to make this little room PERFECT!!!!</div>

Love this picture...Emma is so in love with this "baby brudder".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Our initial reactions and thoughts.<br />
The MOST laid back little fellow.<br />
Sweetest little face.<br />
A little snuggle bunny.<br />
Great sleeper.<br />
So chilled out and easy going.<br />
And yes, we are already so in love...the heart just gets bigger and bigger with love for these precious little souls that God has so graciously allowed us to enjoy and love on! We are extremely blessed.<br />
<br />
We are so very thankful that Ashley did great in labor and that it went fast for her. She did amazing! She is such a good little mommy.<br />
<br />
Emma is loving being a big sister. She loves Hudson. She says probably at least 20 times a day....<br />
"Ohhhhh...he is just soooo cute" and pats his head and says "Good boy". :)<br />
And also says to her mommy, "He came out!". I don't think things could have gone much better...she loves him and has been super sweet about it all.<br />
<br />
I got to stay the first week after they came home from the hospital. It was super busy but super fun.<br />
I love getting to spoil on everyone. My heart came home full of good memories, sweet moments with Ashley, David, Emma and Hudson. I have to say being away from this little one who changes EVERY single day...or at least it appears so from pictures my sweet daughter sends me almost every day...you just forget how much they change at this stage of early life.<br />
<br />
We are completely in love. As with the 4 grandkids before Hudson...life just continues to get sweeter and sweeter. We could not ask for me. We have 5 healthy, beautiful grand children who have amazing parents who look after them, nurture then in all sorts of ways...physically, emotionally and most important spiritually. We love watching our "kids" be parents. It is such a gift from God.<br />

Our dear friend, Gordon Trice, who is an AMAZING photographer, did it again. He took some pictures of Zach and his family this summer when they were in Colorado visiting. I won't share them all...since I have close to 100 but only some of my favorites. I am always amazed and in awe of his ability to capture the moment and capture each little personality! </div>

The next evening Zach, Meg and the boys came for dinner and an Easter Egg hunt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was soooo good to see them! We were so anxious to celebrate with them and also hear all about their trip! We started with the Easter Egg hunt. The boys are always so sweet and excited about the hunt. I decided this year, to make things a little more challenging since they are getting so good at finding their eggs! So, each boy had to look for a particular color and to make things a bit more fun...when they found one they had to carry it with a spoon to their Easter basket. They boys are so much fun and love any kind of challenge or game so they got right into it! It at least made the hunt last more than 5 minutes! We had lots of fun watching them and enjoyed hearing their little giggles!</div>

They had such fun and after they found all their eggs we headed inside for </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our Easter meal. We had such fun sitting, eating and hearing about Zach and Meg's trip. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They boys opened their other Easter treats and had fun playing (and eating) some of their goodies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a tradition to take pictures in our backyard on Easter Sunday, so the following Sunday we were so excited that Zach, Meg and the boys joined us for church at Hillcrest and then we went back to the house and took pictures. Oh my...how fun...but these boys are growing so fast and getting so big! It is really hard for me to pick my favorites because there are so many but here are some...</div>

We are so blessed to normally be with all our kids under one roof on holidays. However, this time we were a bit scattered. Zach and Meg got to take a trip of a lifetime to Switzerland and France and were just arriving back home Easter weekend. Since Ashley was told that was her last official travel weekend...we just told them to stay at home and let us come to them! Also, they had a wedding they really needed and wanted to attend on Saturday before Easter so we got to do a little babysitting while we were there! We celebrated with Zach and Meg and the boys the day after Easter...but I will start with Easter weekend at David and Ashley's first...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We arrived on Friday afternoon...with a very special delivery. Not only were we coming to celebrate Easter but we also delivered the baby dresser to Hudson's room. Larry has so lovingly built a dresser for each grandchild. Parents were able to pick out what they wanted and he built it. It was exciting to be able to move it into Hudson's room...so Mommy could get things organized! As always, it turned out beautiful and hopefully will be a piece of furniture that will be well used and loved!</div>

Emma-girl loves to help her mommy cook! And her mommy is so sweet to let her help! So patient!</div>

They have the sweetest little bedtime ritual. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bath, brush teeth, read Bible story, say prayers and then Emma gets to watch one 10 minute Pocoyo cartoon (which is such a cute little character!) then the last thing is being tucked in and David and Ashley sing her the sweetest song...I can't remember the name but it's about God's love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love it! That night she sang with them...hearing those three voices singing such sweet words together really warms my heart. </div>

The next morning, we enjoyed a lovely breakfast casserole that Ashley prepared and enjoyed just some sweet table talk. Then the boys ran to Lowe's to pick up some sand for the Easter Bunny. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After they returned Ashley told Emma that the Easter Bunny had come (we decided to hunt eggs on Saturday so Sunday wasn't so rushed!) and I would give anything if I had a video of Emma. This little girl has been asking ever since Valentine's when was the Easter Bunny coming! So, when Ashley announced he had come...the SHEER delight and giggles and jumping up and down that occurred was priceless! We headed out to the yard where she was so precious about each and every egg.</div>

We enjoyed attending church with them, which was followed with an Easter Egg Hunt for the little ones. Emma had such fun. Then we headed home for a lovely and very yummy Easter lunch that Ashley and I worked on together...fixing lots of our favorites. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hated for our time to come to an end but it was time to head back to Abilene.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was our first time to be at one of our kids for a holiday and it was quite fun. Fun to be in their home and celebrate their little traditions and be a part of their family time.</div>

Ashley and David are very blessed to have such a sweet and loving church family in Mansfield. A group of very sweet friends hosted a baby shower and bless them they did! It was so fun to get to be a part of this special day for them. They certainly showered them with many cute little outfits, diapers and wipes! What a precious group of young ladies. I am so thankful that our kids have such loving church families who love on them and love on our grandchildren as well. We are so incredibly blessed. The ladies did such a cute job of decorating and the food table was filled with yummy treats! Thank you ladies for all the work and effort you went to, to make Ashley feel quite loved and spoiled!</div>

After Knight Camp this year, we discovered something. We can never get enough one on one time with our grands. We love having them as a group...but there is just something about having just one of them. Time to not have to share the "talking-time" with anyone else. We noticed that Owen really seemed to cherish the few minutes of time he got with Bud by the campfire after the brothers had headed in for baths and book time with Honey. He talked and talked to Larry and he mentioned to me several times the next day how he enjoyed getting to be with Bud alone. It pricked our hearts so we came home thinking and Larry decided to take Owen on a little camp out all alone. He decided each time one of the grands turns 8 one of us will try to do something special alone with them. It isn't the only time we will try to do one on one time...but just to give them something to look forward to...when you turn 8...you and Bud get to go camping!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Larry asked me to plan the meals, which I was happy to do! After all, camping out and camp food is just so fun. Larry gathered up the tent, the fishing gear and he and Owen headed to Abilene State Park for two nights. Oh my! They had such fun and even though they didn't catch any fish...you could just tell it was a very special time for both of them. Here are a few pictures that Larry took of their time together! As you can tell, it ended up being a bit cold but that did not stop these two! They just put on more clothes and enjoyed the fire a bit longer! </div>

Bud is brave. He decided to teach Owen how to chop wood. I am not sure I would have been so brave but Owen is a quick learner and safety first was of course taught!</div>

Learning this skill made someone feel quite big!</div>

I have no doubt in my mind that this little guy will not forget this weekend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The two at home are counting the years till they will turn 8!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will be interesting to see if Emma wants a campout with Bud or wants to do something with Honey. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then before we know it, and as I type this I realize he hasn't even been born yet...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bud will be taking Hudson! I say that because it seems like only yesterday Owen was born!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8 YEARS OLD...how can it be!</div>

We weren't able to get all the grands together for one dinner but no worries...we will just do two!<br />

I went to see Ashley and Emma while David was on a business trip so we celebrated while there. It was so fun to do all sorts of little crafts, have a red and PINK (her favorite color) and play Valentine Bingo. It was fun to have Ashley "attend" and Emma-girl loved it!<br />

I thought it would be fun to eat by candlelight!<br />
I want all our grandchildren to feel like we always cherish our time with them and that any time we get to be with them is a very special occasion for us! Now, that doesn't mean I use candles every time I feed them but I do want them to have opportunities at our home to feel royally treated!<br />

More challenging than you would think! Each boys paper was a different color and at the end of the minute we would count the pieces that stuck!<br />

We were able to do another tradition that has become quite special. For the last three years, we have taken Emma to see Santa at the North Park Mall in Dallas. First of all, I think this really could be Santa. He is so nice, so sincere, so good with kids and he looks like Santa! He is the real deal!<br />

We had to wait our turn...our time to see Santa was SEVERAL hours after we got our ticket. Lots of kids there to see him each year. We went to his story time, shopped a bit, ate lunch, watched a puppet show, watched a choir and a band and through it all, Emma was so precious and sweet. She would ask ever once in a while if it were her time to talk to Santa but was so patient!!<br />

Precious. She marched right in, climbed up in his lap and proceeded to check out his digs. It was pretty funny, because he was trying to talk to her but she was busy looking at all the things in his room but then she finally came back around to him and gave him her full attention. He read her letter, they discussed if she had been good and all the while I was snapping pictures because she was so sweet looking at his face...as if she wanted to never forget every detail of it.<br />

Yep, it is almost Spring 2013...and I am writing about Christmas 2012...to say I am a little behind is putting it lightly. Nonetheless...I trudge on and try to catch up on all my journal entries....</div>

This was our "Off" year as we call it. Off in that our kids are with their other families on Christmas Day so we have our Christmas either early or later in the month. This year we had it quite early. The first weekend in December. We have some dear friends that let us use their River House for our get together. It was fun to be in a different place!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Larry and I arrived on Thursday morning, got all the groceries bought, found a little tree to decorate, did a little decorating and hung the stockings then waited for the kids to all arrive!</div>

Zach and his family arrived around 9 pm that evening and Ashley and her family arrived around 11 pm. As stated in my last post, the first order of business was to find out what the sex of the baby Snow would be! They had found out earlier in the day. Thankfully Ashley had let us know by text that all had checked out great and the baby was HEALTHY. Prayers answered. That is all that really mattered to us, finding out the sex was just icing on the cake.</div>

After we celebrated, we all went to bed. Everyone was pretty tired and we knew our weekend would be full so we needed to rest up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday morning we woke up, had breakfast and begin to make homemade ornaments to decorate our little "Charlie Brown Tree". We decided to have an old fashioned tree...where we all made ornaments out of foil, pipe cleaners and pop corn and cranberries. It was a fun morning, all in our pj's, making our little tree look festive while playing a simple game of Christmas Trivia questions while we worked! (Thanks Meg for bringing the fun game!).</div>

We then got ready and headed to Boerne for lunch and a little looking around. The men brought the kids back to the River House while Meg, Ashley and I got to shop in Boerne for about 2 hours ALL alone. It was so fun to browse around!</div>

Then we headed back to the River House and got things ready for supper. Tonight's meal is our traditional "snacky supper" though a different menu than normal. Larry and I have been quite crazy busy at home with Larry's dad being in the hospital and Marie living with us through out the ordeal. So...cooking and baking our favorite foods for this "Christmas Eve Meal" just didn't happen. Thanks to Sam's we got a lot of fun things to try out and no one starved! :)</div>

After supper, we celebrated with some of our favorite traditions:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First" I read our annual Christmas book, while we passed little boxes around the circle everytime the word "Santa" was read. Then we opened our boxes to see who got the prize of a big whopping $5 bill! Everyone gets candy...but one lucky person finds money attached to their candy! Always fun and the kids love it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we did our annual traditional
Christmas Eve Hunt, where the little ones have to work as a group,
following clues around the house which finally concludes with them
finding their new Christmas PJ's and a game or book.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We of course like to make things a bit challenging for them, so each round while looking for the clues they had to do something as well...such as ring jingle bells and sing...</div>

Owen and Clay checking out the new camping book</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the "big kids" had to write the next chapter to our Christmas Story using the list of words that Larry and I have come up with to make the story interesting. They always amaze us how creative and funny they can be!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Always fun when I can read Christmas books to the kids. My mom had a collection of wonderful Christmas books, so we always try to find time to read a few. I sure do love reading to them!</div>

We had fun playing with their new games, visiting and then it was time to get those cute little ones in their fun new jammies tucked into bed. After the little ones were asleep, Bud and Honey got stockings stuffed and "Santa" gifts to big to wrap placed "under the tree". Normally we wrap all the gifts but this year Larry and I got Ashley's dollhouse out of the attic, made by Larry many years ago. We stripped it down, repainted, put in new flooring, made new curtains and valances and updated the outside a bit. It was SO fun to work on it together. Then for the boys, we made (HA...Larry made, I just was moral support!) a race track for their Lego vehicles. They love to make race cars with their Legos and race them. Then it was off to bed!</div>

"Our Christmas Morning"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Christmas morning. I love the excitement in the kids faces. I love watching them delight over their own gifts and get just as excited over what their cousins get. Nothing much sweeter. Cousin love is the best!</div>

After they tore into their gifts, we had a big breakfast and had fun opening our traditional ornament boxes. Larry and I try to purchase or make an ornament based on what our "big kids" did this year. This year Ashley & David's was based on their trip to Honduras & Zach and Meg's about their big trip to Colorado. Then the kids, as tradition has it, is a ornament that reflects the birthday party theme.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After breakfast we enjoyed stockings and then spent the rest of the morning and afternoon playing with all the goodies and just hanging out together. So fun to just hang out!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we got ready, drove into San Antonio for a very yummy dinner. David's younger brother, Blake, lives in San Antonio so we invited him to join us for supper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next morning, Zach and Meg and the boys had to pull out early so we said our goodbyes to them, enjoyed just a bit more time with David, Ashley and Emma before they left for Mansfield. Larry and I then began to clean up, wash up all the linens and came home early the next morning. It was a wonderful sweet time with our family and we are very grateful that everyone makes time to for us to gather as a family, re-connect and build memories. We realize life can get so busy and hectic with activities but we hope and pray that our family will always find time to be together.</div>

It's official.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually we have known this news for over a month now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I am sure my few followers already know the news.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But nonetheless...because this is my "journal" of sorts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ashley and David and Emma announced they are expecting a boy in May!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We of course knew they were pregnant but it was fun to learn that at their December sonogram everything looks good and healthy. That is such an answer to prayers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this sonogram they learned they are adding a boy to their family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and our fourth grandson!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are thrilled for David and Ashley!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are looking forward to meeting Jelly Bean (no name yet) on or around May 8th!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love you little one and can hardly wait to meet you!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By the way, even though once again, my picture is not on my computer but David and Ashley had us and Emma open a big box that was filled with blue balloons! Cute way to reveal and we were thrilled! Larry guessed it, I thought it was another girl but honestly it didn't matter to us...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our prayer is a healthy little one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was "our" year to be together at Thanksgiving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We take turns with our kids...one year they are with us...the next with their other family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ashley, David and Emma arrived on Wednesday and it was so fun for the family to all be together!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love our family time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanksgiving was busy getting everything cooked and ready for a lunch time meal but oh so fun at the same time. I love having everyone in the house, helping, sneaking samples of the meal to come and visiting while preparing the meal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY05M7rif6vfkphUsdiVIK9tauA_G4coYr7RBRE1lqAHhghn_bPuw_VwkFBHmgzowWQq2hAOzE76ePEfJY4y-piRDCI90dYPlRfUZCn9HgTR4xGuVucXm6dM0y0PdzwrjnB7Rbl284hkrC/s1600/IMG_2344.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY05M7rif6vfkphUsdiVIK9tauA_G4coYr7RBRE1lqAHhghn_bPuw_VwkFBHmgzowWQq2hAOzE76ePEfJY4y-piRDCI90dYPlRfUZCn9HgTR4xGuVucXm6dM0y0PdzwrjnB7Rbl284hkrC/s320/IMG_2344.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love cooking and baking but this is the meal that tugs at my heartstrings too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved doing this meal with my Mom. I was always the "taster" when it came time to testing the dressing! We had so much fun cooking together so she is never far away from my thoughts when I fix her recipe for dressing and my grandmother, Murdee's, pecan pie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's fun to share these traditions with my family as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A funny little story:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ashley kept telling Emma she was so excited for Thanksgiving and dressing! Well, Emma would always say "Dressing! What are you going to be?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To her dressing, is getting dressed up...like for Halloween.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She would always want to know what Ashley was going to be! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, on Thanksgiving morning, while we were getting ready she begin to talk about get dressed. So, Emma and I took a little break and made her a little vest and head dress so she could be an Indian!</div>

The kids had such fun raking leaves. What can I say...child labor! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They had a blast raking them into a big pile and jumping into them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love that it takes so little to entertain them and the weather was perfect!</div>

We could not have asked for a better day. It was such a fun day of being together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning we got a call that Larry's dad had taken a fall and so Larry and I spent the rest of the day and pretty much the next 19 days at the hospital. It has been quite a whirlwind of events and decisions. Thankfully, Darrell got what he wanted and that was to get to go back to their house at Hawley. I am not sure how long that will last but for now, we are doing our best to take care of their needs which means a lot of trips back and forth to Hawley. But, hey, these two people loved and raised a precious man whom I am very thankful to be married to! So, its the least I can do to repay them!</div>

Okay, I am SO far behind on blogging. I am feeling overwhelmed. I am so behind. So...to start with we attended 3 adorable (no surprise, they have a very talented mommy) birthday parties for our three grandsons this past year. Here is just a little snippet from each party...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clay turned 6 in June (yes, like I said...I am a little behind!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its fun to have a summer birthday...especially a swim party and since these little boys are such little fish it was no surprise when Clay asked to have his party at the Swim Club.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Another adorable party. Owen wanted a camping party at Abilene State Park.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year was the first ALL boy party and they got to stay overnight. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were so blessed that he wanted Bud & Honey to join them for lunch. I feel extremely blessed as I know he probably won't always want us at his parties...but I can hope he will! :)</div>

Then a few weeks after Owen's party, Will turned 5!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is so hard for me to grasp how quickly they are growing up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He decided he wanted an Angry Birds Party. Ha. Meg always does such a cute job with their parties and I thought this one might stump her a bit...WRONG. Once again, she made it super cute and it was just perfect for Will!</div>

Okay, now comes the sad part. I don't know what happened to the other pictures from his party. I can't find them. So, I don't have a picture of him at the party. But he had a huge smile and had so much fun playing with his friends and brothers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But here he is a few weeks before he turned 5! Doing what he does best, loving and trying to pick a fight with his dad! He loves to be in his Dad's arms! He is such an charmer and such a precious little guy with such a funny little personality. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was our first time to have Knight Camp with cousins. The past 5 years it has just been "brothers"but this year we added a cousin. Emma Grace was old enough to attend this year so it was such a very sweet year. For Emma, Owen, Clay and Will are not only her favorite cousins but her ONLY cousins. The boys have lots of cousins on Meg's side of the family but as yet, Emma has none. So they rank as high as you get in her books!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because it was Emma's first year, we returned to Abilene State Park for our "welcome a new Knight Camp member" to our little tradition. This years theme was based on woodland animals and hanging out with cousins, Bud and Honey. We had a blast! First order of business, is getting our new shirts! Thank you Ashley for helping me out this year...I had an idea but Ashley worked it out for me! I love them and I think the kids thought they were pretty fun as well! I love this picture, when we asked them to turn around so we could take a picture of the back, Emma sweetly put her arm around Will...like I said, she loves her cousins and has been so excited to join them at Knight Camp!</div>

We were very fortunate that Zach and Meg recently purchased a new-to-them travel trailer and so graciously allowed us to take it for our event. Sure beats the pop-up! In fact, it is so nice that we weren't sure this qualifies for camping out! Nonetheless, we loved it!!! Larry and I went out the day before, set up camp, got everything ready and had a chance to catch our breath before the fun began! (I have to admit that was a last minute decision but a very very wise one!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Zach, Meg and Ashley delivered their kids to camp and were so sweet to bring lunch out so we started out enjoying a quick BBQ lunch with everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed the adult conversation but we could tell the little ones got very "antsy" for the parents to leave so we could start having fun! Sorry Mom's and Dad's...we do love you a lot but as Clay said right off the bat, "Now we get to have Honey and Bud rules and not Mom and Dad rules"! Ha. Don't worry Zach and Meg, we really don't do anything wild and crazy...I think it had more to do with they knew we might stay up slightly past normal bedtime...and I guess to a kid that is "breaking the rules" big time! :)</div>

We started out talking about our traditional scavenger hunt, which pretty much last the entire time we are gone as we are always looking for things that are on "this years list". We gave the kids each a card with pictures of all the things we would be on the watch for so before we took our first little hike, we made new walking sticks! They had so much fun designing their own. Larry had made the sticks for each of them but the kids got to decorate them with all different colors and designs of duct tape!</div>

After we had a walking sticks HIGHLY decorated, we went for a little hike and they were quite excited we were able to check several things off our list...fall leaves, acorns, a red bird and a squirrel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then it was time to go fishing! When it is your first year to attend, tradition is you get a new tackle box. The boys have been telling us for 2 years to be on the watch out for a pink tackle box, they just knew that would be the color Emma would want! So sweet. She was so excited and carried that box around almost the entire time! She wanted to carry everything around...her walking stick, her butterfly net, her new backpack, her tackle box, the bug box and the binoculars! We had to talk her into leaving a few things behind as we knew good and well we would all be "helping" her carry things before the hike was over!</div>

Fishing the first day was unsuccessful but thankfully they don't really seem to mind! They love the hike to the pond and we love to hear all the chattering from them as they discover and re-discover things they love at Abilene State Park. It is so kid friendly and has lots of fun trails! We went back to camp and washed up for supper. Tonight we had packed little dinners for them in sacks.<br />

They love when they get their little meals all prepared and cut out in fun shapes. Bear shaped sandwiches, cut up fruit and a fish shaped rice krispie to finish off the meal. We sat outside in our camp chairs and enjoyed all the fun talking these little ones can do. Emma was having the time of her life and her cousins were so precious to help her with everything! As soon as it got dark, we gave them all a new flashlight and so of course we had to stay outside long enough to shine them around and check things out! Then it was time to go inside and all pick a book out to read. We add a book each year to the Knight Camp Library plus I usually bring a load from the library.<br />

We read books and all got in our PJ's and finished the day with a new game. The boys went to sleep quick and even though it took Emma a bit longer to settle down, we all were so amazed at how comfy we all were in the trailer!<br />
The next morning, we woke up to some very happy campers raring to go! The were so excited to get out and start exploring! First order of business: Pancake & sausage! The kids wanted to help mix the pancake mix...trust me, we didn't have any lumps after they had finished shaking it!!!<br />

Owen & Clay had moved a big log over to sit on by the fire...and of course Emma wanted to be just like them! There was a great tree in our campsite area that got a work out! The kids were constantly climbing it and "just hanging out".<br />

The kids were so excited to go fishing but it was really beginning to cloud up so while Larry put away everything in case it rained, the kids and I took a hike and worked on building a little<br />
"Log Fort" near the campsite. The boys were so sweet and took such good care of Emma. This picture is a perfect example, so often they would get her little hand and lead her through "the forest" and were always including her.<br />

They had so much fun and we played in "the forest" as Emma referred to it until it started thundering and so then we spent the next 4 hours in the camper listening to rain and thunder! Good thing we came with lots of crafts and indoor activities! :)<br />

Here the kids are making little "lightning bugs"! They had so much fun making them and later that evening we popped a glow stick, slipped it inside and put the little "head/top" on it and flew them around outside! They love doing crafts and are always so precious about them.<br />

The next few hours we played several games, read lots of books and even watched a little "Mickey Mouse Goes Camping" movie while it poured outside. Living in Texas we can never be mad when it rains! So, we just made the most of our time in the camper. We got out our new journals and drew a few pictures, ate lunch and the clouds blew over so it was time to go fishing!!!<br />

All the boys caught fish when we went back to the pond and though Emma didn't catch one she had such a fun time watching them fish! She also enjoyed eating snacks to pass the time! :)<br />

Emma had been fighting allergies the week before Knight Camp and little did we know but she wasn't feeling so great. By late in the afternoon, she hit rock bottom. She would cry, grab my hand and push it as hard as she could up against her ear and just scream. She was obviously hurting so after trying everything we knew to do, we made a call to Ashley and made the decision that I would run her to the Walk-In Clinic. We left the boys building a fire to roast hot dogs and Emma and I headed to town. Sure enough, she had a ear infection (her first) and a respiratory infection. Ashley headed back to Abilene when she got the call as she was afraid it would be a hard and long night for Emma and she didn't want Emma's not feeling good to ruin the end of camp for the boys. We were totally bummed to see her go but Ashley took her back to our house for the night and then headed home the next morning. The boys were really bummed that Emma had to leave and felt so sorry for her. We could not have asked for them to be any sweeter or more helpful with her and her first year. It has amazed us every time we have had a "new" camper how the other kids have really been such a huge help!<br />
The last day we hiked, fished, played games, painted wooden fish and made a picture frame.<br />

We went back to camp and had a little lunch before the boys and I took another hike and a stop off at the playground while Bud finished up cleaning up the camper. The boys kept telling us they were not ready for Knight Camp to be over and neither were we! It is so fun to be in the wonderful outdoors, talk to them about all the things that God has given us to enjoy & just hang out with these sweet little ones!<br />
Here are a few more favorites from Knight Camp 2012!<br />
Owen, Clay, Will and Emma...our four little stair steps!<br />

After we got home, unpacked and Larry and I were having dinner...what was the topic of conversation...what will we do next year?!?! Hmm....</div>

I cannot describe how much Larry and I love "Knight Camp" with our grandkids. We start talking about the next years theme and what we might do about as soon as one is over! This year is another special year because it is so fun when a grandchild is old enough to come...so Emma will join in this year! Plus another exciting thing...we have moved Knight Camp to the Fall. I love the cooler temps and it just seems like "camping weather" to me! We will be heading out in a few weeks so I am super busy planning all our activities...crafts...food! I just had to share with you what my talented daughter designed for us! It is so nice to send her the info and theme and "TA-DA" this is what she created!!!</div>

How cute is this!!! I am gonna give her little business a plug! If you need invitations of any type and either don't have the time, energy or creative juices to make it happen...please consider giving her your business! Here is her blog: <a href="http://snowbirddesign.blogspot.com/">Snowbird Design</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little guys have been super sweet about Knight Camp this year. They are always excited but also they have been so sweet about Emma joining in the fun. They were quite concerned that we find Emma a pink tackle box. Isn't that so precious! They all received a tackle box on their first year to Knight Camp and so they are super pumped about Emma getting one too! They have so sweetly told me over and over that they will help her get her worm on her hook, help her pull her fish in and take good care of her. They have no idea how much this warms my heart. One of my greatest desires is for not only my children (Zach, Meg, David and Ashley) to remain close but also for our grandchildren to grow up close and have lots of fun memories to share!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...hopefully in just a few weeks I will be back on here with some really sweet pictures and funny stories of Knight Camp 2012!!! Yahoo!!!</div>

David called a month ago and ask us if we would help him surprise her with a little party. David took her for a little overnight trip and while "we were keeping Emma" we got the house ready, decorated and when he brought her home Saturday, family and friends were gathered to wish her a her a very happy 30th! Here are a few of the shots...<br />

We had babies before you really had the opportunity to know what you were having...I have to say there is something I really liked about that. The anticipation of that day was like none other. Would we be given another boy and be a little family of boys. Highly possible in our family as boys way out number girls! Or would God give us a little girl and we could experience the joys of both sexes. We wondered and we waited. When Ashley decided to finally come (she was a week late!) we were beyond delighted. We had always dreamed of being parents to a boy and a girl and our dreams...no our prayers had been answered. A beautiful nine plus pound precious baby girl! I was thrilled, Larry was thrilled and Zach, oh my, he was beside himself. From day one, Zach took it on to be her protector. He loved his baby sister and it become pretty clear right off the bat, that she was pretty keen on him as well. We could not have asked for more...a boy and a girl to raise, to love and to now watch them raise their own!<br />
<br />
Today we celebrate 30 years with Ashley. We always laugh as our two kids were as different as day and (k)night. Ashley was content to sit and watch Zach fly around the room...he was her personal entertainer. It we needed a smile or laugh...just ask Zach to look at her! He could have her laughing or smiling in seconds. She was and really continues to be laid back, quiet and easy-going. Ashley loved to lay in her bed in the morning and look through a stack of books we kept by her bed. Zach hit the ground running. Ashley would savor each bite of food and eat small amounts while Zach would eat his food and anxiously await to see if Ashley needed help cleaning up her plate. Ashley would play or do whatever her "bubba" was doing. The Little Critter Book called "Me too" was surely written with Zach and Ashley in mind! Those two words, "Me too" were heard hundreds of times a day!<br />
<br />
Fast forward (and fast is exactly how I am feeling today...how did 30 years go by so fast!!!) and now I have the honor of watching her as a wife and a mother. She goes about her jobs quietly and continues to be laid-back and easy-going. She is a wonderful little mother. Somehow I knew she would be from the time she owned her first baby, it was always with her. She mothered every little doll she owned. What joy fills my heart as I watch her teach Emma about God. It is obvious to us that Emma's days are filled with teaching moments! Ashley is doing a wonderful job raising Emma. She is a lovely wife and takes both of those roles seriously. She is also a wonderful and loving daughter to me. She is not only my precious daughter but my best girl friend. We are so blessed. We have been not only given wonderful children to raise but now we delight in being a part of their lives as they raise their own. We are so thankful to God for giving us this role.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ashley, we love you and are so very honored to be your parents. Happy 30th Birthday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
May your day be as special and wonderful as you are!</div>

The ones that really stick out were when we got to stay in a hotel! We always had such fun and it was such a huge treat. This past weekend, Ashley, Emma and I took a little trip and started building our own scrapbook of memories. We were headed to Houston to see our dear friends the Sellers and the Smiths. We decided to stay in a hotel and it was not only a treat but so fun to experience it with Emma! Isn't it just so fun to see the world through the eyes of a child!<br />
<br />
We were able to do lots of visiting with friends, went to a Children's Museum-which was just a small one in The Woodlands but the perfect size for the kids to run and play and there was hardly anyone there so it made it extra nice! Kade and Emma had such fun! (Even I had fun playing with Emma and putting on a puppet show!)<br />

We ate lots and lots of yummy food, went shopping and got to meet Shelli's newest little one, Kellan. What a sweet baby boy!!!<br />
<br />
Shelli and Linda not only had great food cooked for us to enjoy but also took Ashley and I to Tommy Bahama's for a joint birthday lunch, and that place was SOOOO fun!!!<br />
<br />
It was pure delight to watch Emma, Paityn and Kade playing so sweetly together. They don't see each other but once a year but they get along so well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Emma was SO excited to stay in a hotel. She made us laugh so hard as she was so delighted over everything! When we checked in, she loved riding on the cart with the bags<br />

then we got to the room she was so excited about the two beds! She jumped on one and then counted them...one bed and two beds! Then she looked up at Ashley and I and said "three girls...two beds" and then sat down on her bed and said "Emma's bed".<br />

When we got back to the hotel that night, she was just jabbering because she was so excited. When I was putting her PJ's on her, she was standing on the bed, and just kept repeating..."I am just so excited, I am just so excited". It was so priceless! The last morning there, we ate breakfast (which was another complete delight as Emma thought the "free breakfast" was such a "Big Restaurant". Then we let her swim...<br />

then checked out of the hotel and made a couple of quick stops before heading to see one of Ashley's sweet college friends. Chelsie and Steve have a new baby girl and it was so fun to get to meet her. She is adorable and so sweet natured. It so fun for me as a Mom to see these girls I grew to love as they were going through college together, as Mom's and seeing them taking their role so serious! Makes my heart sing! We stopped by a couple of shops on the way out of town and then headed back to Mansfield. Emma crash, poor little girl...she was so tired!<br />

Ashley and I enjoyed some good talk time while driving. I think David was glad to see his girls when we arrived home. I spent the night, just to break up the trip and also because Ashley has asked if I could help her with Emma's three year old pictures. ( I will put some of my favorites at the bottom!) We got up Monday and headed to the park where we got some really sweet shots of our Emma-girl! So fun. Then it was time for Honey to hit the road. It was a wonderful trip and I am so thankful for the relationships God has placed in my life...both family and friends.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of MANY favorite pictures we took...she is growing up way too fast!<br />

We just thought life was good. We had no idea until God blessed us with our firstborn, our son, Zach. Today he turns 33. We have watched him enter the world and literally take it by the tail and live it to the fullest. As a toddler he was all about checking everything out! He was as curious as George! :) He loved to be outside and came in the house each day with pockets brimming with "treasures". He has grown up loving God, loving nature and loving his family. He continues to bring us such joy. Now he is sharing his love for God, nature and family with his own three sons. I love to watch him when he is telling a "story" on one of them...the way his eyes literally light up! The way his voice expresses such love and tenderness when talking about something one or all of those three little "Zach's"has done or said. We are so blessed to have been given Zach to raise and to now be a part of his life as he and Meg raise their own little family. Today we celebrate all the blessing God has poured out on us as parents. We love you Zach and are so honored to call you son!<br />

That is when Ashley and David made the decision to go to Honduras on a Mission Trip with their church. We are so proud of them for making the choice to spend their total vacation time serving God. When they told us they were going, they asked if the grandmothers might be able to divide the week up and keep Emma! DUH! Of course. I think I can speak for Patti, "Happy" here, that we are both thrilled to babysit Emma! Now, I will say here that I was super disappointed because I thought Bud (Larry) was going to be able to come with me and that would have made the trip even MORE special...but work kept him home. We missed him BIG time!<br />
<br />
As time got closer, I decided I would plan some activities based on Mickey Mouse, because really, this little girl loves Mickey like nobody's business! 99% of the time, she has a Mickey Mouse figurine in her hand...usually more than one. She can still do all sorts of stuff while holding those tightly in her hand.<br />
<br />
Here are just a few activities we did together to celebrate our friend, Mickey!<br />
<br />
<b>Mickey Mouse Lunch-Tea Party-</b><br />
We invited some of Mickey's friends. I let Emma set the table...with a little instruction from Honey she caught on quickly. Here is our first Mickey Mouse Luncheon. We had many! If fact any time it was time for a meal, she would ask if we could have a "tea party". I loved it!<br />

<b>Minnie Mouse Cookies</b>-<br />
Okay, I really had planned on making them from scratch but then we saw this dough at Wal-Mart and really, it was just as fun and NO MESS! She loved getting them out of the box, putting them on the cookie sheet and then standing at the oven door watching them cook. She kept talking non-stop about Minnie's pink bow! :)<br />

<b>Swim Time-</b><br />
Of course Mickey and friends also joined her in the pool. She played for a good 45 minutes with them...taking them down the slide, watching them under the water, having them jump off the side of the pool and even making boots for them to ride in out of her crocs! What an imagination!<br />

We went to one of the parks in Mansfield to play, though we didn't stay long because the heat got to us both!<br />

<b>Playing Mickey Mouse Matching Game-</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
I loved how many ways we found to play with Mickey Mouse. I had printed off this very simple matching game...but she took it a step farther after she would make the match with the cards, then she would find the figurine to match it and line them up in a row. Or we would play with the stacking blocks, then they became "houses" for Mickey and all his friends. Or the barn would become Mickey and friends little "house". It was like every toy could be re-invented by Mickey Mouse!</div>

While I was getting supper ready one night, I let her give her friends a bath in the kitchen sink. Amazing how long she played with them in that sink. I figured as much as they were being played with and carried around...a bath probably wouldn't hurt them! :)</div>

<b>Town Square Toy Store-</b></div>
Mansfield has a very nice toy store so of course we went to check it out! Right now, along with Mickey, Emma loves Wonder Pets. She used to only want to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse but rigth now if she gets to watch a movie...she will request Wonder Pets. It is so cute, she knows all the songs and characters and so when we were in the toy store, we found little Wonder Pets Stuffed Animals. I let her pick out one to bring home. Linny was the winner! Funny thing about Linny the Hamster, he eats celery and guess who has developed quite the taste for celery...you guessed it. Every meal, she would ask for "celery like Linny eats".<br />

One thing that was so precious to me is how this little munchkin can do all sorts of things all the while holding on very tightly to Mickey. Mickey stays in her hand pretty much ALL the time. Minnie often joins the hand but she will release Minnie if necessary. Mickey, not so much. </div>

David and Ashley require Emma to put Mickey and friends into their "house" while she takes naps and at nighttime...because she would lay in bed and play with them for hours! So, each time it is time to go to bed...she puts them in their house...the microwave of her kitchen. It is pretty funny. She has to arrange them all...sometimes they stand and other times she would lay them down. As soon as she gets up...that is the first stop!</div>

We had so much fun playing games, working puzzles and dancing to her CD's. She is so fun to play games with...one of her favorite is Busy Town. I love how she would get her microscope to look for things in Busy Town. Pretty fun stuff.</div>

The best part for me was just being in her little world for 5 days in a row! I loved every single second and my heart is bursting with sweet moments and funnies from this little one who has completely stolen my heart. Just like her cousins she has a extremely special place in my heart.</div>
