Grands and MORE Grands

Today while I was waiting by Kathy's dads grave for his graveside service,  I got a cute text with this picture from Justin. "Hey look what we made."  Another grand is coming March 20th....woot woot!  I cried just a little because I'm so excited...now I will pray a lot for this little one and it's family.  I absolutely love adding to our family.  My kids are doing a good job!
Ivy and Zaden wanted to spend the night and so I told them they could.  I invited Kamryn to join them since I knew she would want to.  Her cousins are staying with them for a few days and so Brexton stayed to0 which was really fun for Zaden.  The part of sleepovers that I don't like is bed time.  The kids have a hard time settling down.  Tonight I told them all that this was my least favorite time too and it is also why I say "no" sometimes.  They quieted right down and I didn't hear them again until around 7:00 am.  Of course they wanted fancy shape pancakes for breakfast and of course I made them.  I'm glad the grands enjoy coming over.

Around 12:30 am the door bell rang.  I was wondering if the kids had gone outside and couldn't get back in but when I went to the door there were two "sheriffs" standing there.  My sleepy mind was trying to wake up and figure out what was going on...my heart was pumping faster than normal.  They asked me about Jaydan's truck being ours and if Jaydan was home. I went and got Jaydan.  I guess Jaydan was backing out in a  parking lot and hit another car.  He did get out and check to see if there was any damage but didn't see any and so he left.  He later told his friend that he probably still should have left a note with his name but didn't feel like it was really necessary.  The Sheriff's told us that Jaydan  had been reported as a hit and run....   I wonder if they felt bad for ringing our doorbell in the middle of the night for a bump in the parking lot where no one was hurt.  Sometimes I just wonder "why"?

But, I'm excited to get another grand baby and love the ones I have! ♥

Birthday Fun with the Hooper Honey's


Today we celebrated Kari's birthday which is the 28th of this month. (I'm just a month older than Kari)  I'm glad we were celebrating Kari so that she picked a day that she could come.  We try to choose days that everyone can come but there are times when things come up and we don't get everyone there.  Today we missed Lorraine (who threw her back out picking up a dog dish) and Crystal (who was heading to CA for a 2 week vacation).  I always enjoy our birthday lunches and think we should go every month like Tammy suggested.

I love laughing with these ladies and sharing our woes with each other if we have any.  I think women give each other such great support and we all need that.  Birthdays and Friends are so Fun!

Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions: 
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Breakfast ~
How extremely blessed we really are and how much help we receive from the other side of the veil.
Lunch ~ 
Happiness is a choice and comes from within.  It's a conscious choice and one that needs to be made every day and often times throughout the day.
Dinner ~ 
Faith that everything will be okay as I watch a child be tested and tried.
Midnight Snack ~  (two for one here)
Kind, thoughtful, selfless, obedient  people who put others above themselves and keep the commandments.
That I am good enough right now where  I am.  I know that I can always improve and I always am trying to but right now in this moment I am Good Enough!


Recipe of the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life what is it just for the week?) 
Don't give up and don't listen to the whisperings of Satan.  

Satan will always whisper negative, stupid lies to us that we hear and even consider.  He wants to destroy us and those we love and will use all his sneaky tactics to do so....we need to remember that negative thoughts come from him and not to give up or in.
