Mothers Day Tradition!

Every year for the past 3 yrs now, We have flown kites on mothers day! My kids look forward to this and talk about it for weeks before! This makes me soooo happy! That they remember and care about a tradition!!!!!

This year we invited some friends of ours over (a neighborhood couple and their 2 girls) to fly with us! It is always so much fun to share the fun with others!!!!!!!

AH, the house I lived in ONCE....

So, yesterday was a sad day, I had to attend a funeral of a 38 yr old man I grew up with... SAD SAD! He was great friends with my older brother (who himself, passed away 11 yrs ago) and then a great friend of my younger brother. He also dated my sister for a short time... AND he was a great "DRINKING" buddy of my Dad's before my father passed away! YEP, he was a great family friend....

Anyways, his funeral was in the neighborhood that I lived in from the time I was 4 until I was almost 8! SO of course I had to drive it for old time sake... and I gotta tell ya, WOW, everything has shrunk! I mean really shrunk... it was ALL so small... even the house I lived in was A LOT smaller than I remember! Of course maybe it is all still the same size and I am the one that grew up!

AHHH... this is why I love SPRING TIME!!!!

What are you wearing???

So yesterday I look outside and see my oldest daughter wearing this beautiful outfit! I especially like the knee pads, don't you!!!!!

The first one was a $25 gift cert. to AMAZON and it came from hearth management. This a a great blog written by a christian woman! My favorite part of her blog is that she links up once a week to other great blogs!!! She also has a sense of humor, and that is what makes anyones blog great!!!!!!!
