Pirate Fun - Celebration For Paxton!

June 21, 2014



Paxton turned 5 on Wednesday, June 18. He had a fun birthday celebration to celebrate his birthday yesterday with some friends and family, attending his party. We were excited to arrive to the Pirate C'ARR'nival. My mom and I arrived early to the party so we would miss the busy Friday traffic.



There was so much fun at the carnival. There was a bounce house for the kids to play on, pinata fun for the kids, a scavenger hunt, carnival food - corn dogs, nachos, snow cones, baked beans, watermelon, cake, and ice cream, present opening fun, and so much more.

Happy Birthday, Paxton! We all love you!







Let's Wear Green and Keep on Smiling!

June 16, 2014



Last Sunday, Jon came to visit our mom and he also came to go through some things in her garage. It was fun when we all looked at each other and we were all wearing green! Paul said he didn't get the memo because he was wearing a different color. 

We took some fun pictures to remember this fun day that we were all wearing green! We took some pictures with some silly faces and had fun showing our mom how to make funny faces.


 Remember when the going gets tough, sometimes you just have to have some fun with it! Make some silly faces and keep on laughing!





Birthday Fun with Nate's Family

June 10, 2014



Nate invited my mom out on the town for his birthday celebration. Nate, his family, and our mom went out to dinner to Texas Roadhouse. Nate doesn't know this, but my mom has been wanting to go there to eat. I was happy to hear they went there so our mom could eat there and check that off her list to do. My mom enjoyed her steak and baked potato.

I received several texts and phone calls from mom to tell me that they were bowling after dinner. Our mom was super excited about this! Mom has not bowled for several years due to all of her pains. I hear that she did really good and had some strikes. Sammy was nice to send me a picture of Grandma Cindy bowling so we could document this milestone in her life of her being able to bowl again and have fun!

 Happy Birthday, Nate!






Creamie Get-Together At the Cemetery

June 09, 2014



We had a great time meeting up with Linda, Jean, our girl cousin's, and their kids at the cemetery! We had a Creamie celebration (thanks to Staci) to celebrate Grandma Stewart's birthday. Staci won several Creamies in a cooler, from a local tv show that is on channel 5.

 Linda did great documentation work and took many fun pictures of this event! Follow the link to see the many pictures and short videos of memories of Grandma Stewart & this fun day!

 This was such a fun day with perfect weather, memories were made, & we had a fun cousin, aunt, and sister get-together! We should do this more often!  :)

 Thank you to Linda and Staci for planning this event out and thank you for everyone for being there! It was fun to see everyone!

Much Love,







Idaho Day Trip - Aunt Ann's Funeral

June 09, 2014



My mom and I were able to go on a day trip up to Idaho with Linda and Bill, to attend Aunt Ann's funeral last week. My mom had no hesitation on going on this adventure. She really wanted to visit Idaho and she had a really good time while there. I know that she is so glad that she went!

The funeral was a nice memorial to Aunt Ann and the person she is and was. There was beautiful music sung and played, beautiful talks by her grandchildren, and so on. It was great to see the cousins again, chat with them, hug them, drive by The Johnson's old farm home  (now Blaine and Suzanne's home), visit the cemetery, eat at the luncheon, and look at the scenery on the drive.


We made it home that evening after 6PM. My mom was so happy to be home to spend time with her cat, Tiger. She said that she missed him. My mom was not tired out one bit and was ready to get to her next daily activities that she had missed while she was gone!

I asked my mom the next day what her highlight of the week was. She said her favorite thing was going to Idaho. 

Thank you to Linda, Bill, and Jean for your support and making this possible for her being able to attend these events in Idaho!


Unfortunately, we didn't get Bill in any pictures! A HUGE thank you goes to Bill for being so patient and kind! I really do appreciate what you did for us on this day!
