I LOVE YOU!!!!!

It is that time of year!
!!!Spring!!!
My Ma always calls it "bitter/sweet"
Time for sunshine and warm weather, baseball/softball, birds chirping, fresh air, new flowers....
and for some, it's back to work!! For this someone back to work is not close to home!
Back to work for my Dad is 2.5 hours away!! And to some that is nothing!
To US....it is 2.5 hours away!!
While I'm glad it is not any further, it still makes me sad that it's not around the corner!! So, last night I made dinner and we hung out before Dad headed out to work (for the summer/fall)
Lots of kisses!!!!
(this picture does have a story and if you were here last night your probably still laughing)
(and if you were not here and your just seeing this picture...I bet it is melting your heart)
(it is mine)
Papaw and his grandkids!!
I hope my kids know that they are going to have to share their "Big squeeze" with their little cousin SOON!!!!
I will try to blog more now!!! But NO promises...School for me on Monday!!!
While your waiting for my next blog.....
CUTE~NESS!!!!

whats been going on????

Last week we did not sit outside until dark in jackets or just our shirts!
We live in Ohio...
and there WAS still snow on the ground last week!!!
BUT IF we did go outside and sit until dark in just our shirts or light jacket, I'm sure my oldest children would have HUGE smiles on their faces!!!!
I have been getting together all of the baseball/softball things and that includes our old cleats...
NO WAY would one family have this many cleats....NOT US!!!!
This VERRRRRY looooonnnng winter we had to be plowed out many times. We are VERY thankful for those that came to the rescue!!! Now that spring is right around the corner, the snow is melting and we can see.....gravel....yes...on our side yard it looks as though we are creating another driveway!!!
Now what is a guy to do when there is so much gravel in your grass?
Certainly NOT!!!!
Ummmm yes!!! YES he did!!!
It worked!!! And I am sure I have given you and our neighbors something to laugh about for awhile!!!
Speaking of our neighbors....
they sent me this beautiful picture yesterday!!!
VEGAS!!!! Sun!!! Palm Trees!!!
Oh and in case you did not see what we DID NOT FORGET in my last post....
a winter hat!!! That was what we DID NOT FORGET!!!!

Can you guess what we DID NOT forget to put on him????

I first want to Thank you for praying for my Nanny! I know that when I talked with my Papaw he said she was feeling all of your prayers! I will keep you updated! It means so much to me that you were able to say that prayer for her!!!
How's the weather? Glad you asked!!
The sun has been out for 4 days straight!!! 4 days!!!! It has been wonderful!!! Peeking through my curtains! Shinning ever so nicely on my bedroom floor!!! The snow is still here, and my guess is that it will be here for awhile!! After all we did have 30+ inches just in the month of February!! And although I am not thrilled that it will not be going away...NOW...I have been so grateful to see the sun!! I am also grateful that as of yesterday ALL of our baseball/softball sign ups are OVER!!! Teams are picked, Coaches have been chosen, and paperwork (for now) is complete!! I tell ya if you have never been on a ball board....keep it that way!!! No really the end result is good. I am happy that I can give SOME of my time to help out with the kids in our community. But ALL of my time, NO!! It is a thankless job! Well with the exception of a few and I do mean few grateful people!!
What else have we been doing?
I will share that with you in a later post, for now....
Here is photo proof of what I HAVEN'T been doing....
Putting sunscreen on my little guy!!!
Who would have thought??? A little wiffle ball in the front yard on the first sunny day in months, still lots of snow on the ground...that we (the parents of this pale sensitive skin little cutie) would forget to put sunscreen on him!!!
Can you guess what we DID NOT forget to put on him????
