Taggarts!

It's Friday and so I thought going out for dinner was a great idea.  (did you know that cooking isn't my favorite thing to do?)  We gave the Malone's a call and thank goodness we did.  It is there 30th Wedding Anniversary tomorrow and their AC went out today....they needed to get out!  Matt suggested Taggarts and we liked the idea.  It would take longer to get home and by then the Malone's house shouldn't be so hot!  It was nice visiting with them.  We always have a good time with Matt and Kathy.  We laugh a lot and enjoy our time with them.  We got to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the peacocks.  What a fun place to go.  

When we first got to Taggarts and after seeing the dessert display I thought we should get our desserts first.  Yep~ we should have got them first because after dinner there just wasn't room or the desire!  Probably a good thing!  I'm glad the Malone's are spur of the moment people like us.  It was a great date!

Fort Fun....

Today we had some extra fun in our house.  Zaden and Kam came to play.  Zaden is coming again for awhile until Trichelle is officially through working and back to school.  He is so much fun and loves coming and playing with Jared and Kimi.  It's been nice having him again.  He laughs so much and I love hearing that in our home.  Kam got to come play for a little bit while her parents went on a date.  The cousins really do love each other and have such fun together.

It was so hot outside that we talked them into staying in by building a fort for them.  They were happy with that for a while but did talk Kimi into going outside with them.  They crack me up!  They each wanted to wear a helmet to ride their bikes......I'm sure that wasn't hot!

Each one of my cute grands are my favorite!  I love them all so much and just enjoy watching them play and use their imaginations.  They are each so creative and smart and make me smile! :)

Who knew that grands were such blessings?  I had no idea but boy have I found out!  Oh the Joy these "littles" add to life!  So stinkin thankful for them all!

Boating with the YM & YW

One of the funnest activities of the year is the boating activity for the Young Men and Young Women.  They love it and we usually have a pretty good group.  I think they had four boats out there today....so plenty of fun going on!  When I saw all the girls crowded in our boat I did give Larry and call reminding him that there were rules and limits that he probably should follow.  He didn't get a ticket or pulled over so all was well.  I had Zaden and so he even got to go out with the first group of kids.  My grands love boating.  He told me that he even drove with Papa.  Larry is a patient man and enjoys making fun happen and sharing it with others.  I stayed on the beach so I wasn't taking up a seat. (not near as fun)  Zaden and I left after a few hours which was kind of nice.  Boating is one of my most favorite things to do with our family and others.  I am so grateful that we are able to have a boat.
