Happy Birthday Sissy!

     My Sissy's birthday is coming up soon and I have been pondering on what to get her.  I have thought about buying her a t-shirt that says, "My Sister has the BEST Sister in the world."  I wonder if she would

wear it?

     I am the one with the best sister in the world.  I feel blessed to have her in my life.  She is my best friend, she is always there for me, she puts others before herself, she is an awesome nurse, and she is the hardest working mom that I know. 

     I gave her such a hard time when we were younger.  There is nine years between us and while she was a teenager, I was the annoying, brattish, little pest of a kid.  I would spy on her phone calls and while she was hanging out with her friends.  I would lock her out of the house and laugh at her.  I would tattle on her for everything she did.  I was NOT very nice to my sissy!  Even though I did all of that to her, she still loved me. 

     I may not know what to get her for her birthday, but I hope she knows that I love her very much.  I'm grateful to have her in my life.

Happy Birthday to my Sissy, the BEST Sissy in the world!

Love You Bunches, Mom

Love You Bunches, Momma

I just want to let you know

How much that I love you...

As a mother and a grandmother,

you have shown me what love can do...

For you are a true example

of how a mother should be,

Demonstrating a Godly faith

that you have passed down to me...

Happy Mother's Day!!!

The Journeyman

     The Webster Dictionary says that a journeyman is a worker who has learned a trade and works for another person or an experienced reliable worker.  I have came up my own definition for journeyman:  A man, or 2 year old, on a journey.
     I have 3 children:  one hyperactive, one sneaky, and one that likes to go on journeys.  The one that likes to go on journeys is my 2 year old, named Ethan.  Ethan likes to give us a fright.  He will wait for the right moment to make his escape. 
     His journeys started out close by the home.  He has been found behind the house, wearing a diaper and boots standing under a gutter in the rain.  He has been found at the silage pit looking for grandpa.  Then he has been found up at the grandparent's home which is 3/10 of a mile away.
     You are probably thinking that this child's parents are not watching home or paying any attention to him.  It only takes him a minute to get a way.  If you got up from playing with this child, go to the potty room to pee, come back to the living room, the journeyman will be gone.                              

                                                Running as fast as his little legs can carry him!

Being the wise parents we are, lol, we have found a solution.  A must have for any family that has their own little "journeyman!"

                                                     A lock that a 2 year old cannot reach!
