He's a sweetie pie...

It's that special time of year again.....

YOU GUESSED IT...."Clovis Rodeo Weekend!"

Sean rode his first horse today...and loved it. I wanted to ride one too, but there was a 75 pound weight limit....

The Roses are in full bloom!

The rose on the left is named "Hot Cocoa"...there's no question why I love it so much. 

Lovely Lilacs...can't get enough of these!

Can we just talk about this rose whose name just happens to be "Disneyland"???

I'm having an "I miss the ocean" day today....

 

Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows
with the ability to say no to oneself.

-- Abraham Joshua Heschel 1907-1972

Sean lost his first tooth today!

Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous
circumstances, would have lain dormant.

-- Horace (65-8 BC) Roman Poet

Grant at his Great Grandma's house today...

Breathe deeply and smell the fragrant blossoms..."drink them in!"

The First Flowers of Spring....

As you can see, our trains are being serviced right now as they await their big journey around the track!

Great Quote by Margaret D. Nadauld:

“Woman of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough, we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse, we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude, we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune, we need women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.”

Impromtu Family Photo....

I see now how much taller my son is than me. Obviously, I knew he was taller but in the photo I see the difference in our height....amazing to me that he's grown so much. We had a good day all together at my mom and dad's. I hope you all had a nice Easter Day! 

Poor Humpty Dumpty...

Grant loves the curtains....uh oh.....

Is this the face of young man being forced by his mother to dye Easter Eggs?

Actually, he's a very good sport!
