Austin Wayne turns 10!

Happy Birthday Austin!

Austin turned 10 on April 11th and to celebrate, Austin's dad put on one fun, fun, fun party for him.

Austin, kneeling in the front in the camo, had 7 of his best buds attend his party. They started their day by having a Nerf Gun war - and you can see by the next picture who thier first vicitm was.

Yea, that would be me, the photographer and grandma. However that wasn't as bad as after getting the water guns, even grandmas were fair play.

We no more than pulled up and unloaded before they spread like the wind and played all afternoon in the hills.

Besides the Nerf Gun War there was a scavenger hunt....

Of which Team #1 won, but everyone was a winner because they all received squirt guns so then there was a........

water fight...........run Jeremy.............run...............

...Blaine, oops  -  to late! So after the water fight there were a lot of wet boys so they had to dry off..........

..nothing like drying your bum in front of a warm cozy fire. Then it was time to open gifts....

...and when someone gives you a football you must.....

play football. At half time the kids took a break and had some dinner and............

cake...YUM! You may ask why a turkey? Well Austin is big on turkey hunting and his party fell on the 1st. day of turkey hunting season.

Hope all your wishes come true!

It was then time to sharpen those sticks to roast marshmallows.

Austin made a smore for his grannie. Thanks Austin!

YUM - YUM, Blaine says!

Uncle Shane, judge #1, looks over the cow patties to see who found the largest pie. Winner gets $1.00 - WAHOO!

And the winners are: Bryce and Spencer- It was a tie. Congrats Boys!

Back at the fire the boys continued to make smores, tell stories and hopefully get ready for bed.......I headed home, they probably still had a lot of get up and go...but grandma was tired.

Hope you had a happy day Austin!

Little baby bunny boy - Mr. Lucas!

My little baby Lucas just turned 4 months old and of course we needed to do a photo shoot. He just laughs and laughs at us and didn't mind getting stuffed into a basket. He is just such a little doll and so very good natured about grandma posing him picture after picture.

My sweet little bunny boy!

I think we will show this one at graduation!

Doesn't Lucas look handsome in his little hat? I wish I had one of those cars that we could stick him in to go with his little derby. MMMMM maybe grandma needs to go shopping!

Lucas is  a man of many hats and he is so very good at leaving them on his head.

I sure wish I knew what he was thinking! I bet it was something like "shut the d#@* camera off and put my clothes back on....LOL!! 

Congratulations Austin!

Congratulations to Austin on 2nd place at the Crawford Touranment and to all the little wrestlers out there who did a good job. Special thanks to all the parents and volunteers who put on such a good meet.

WeEk of LoVe - Day 5

It is already Day 5 of WeEk of LoVe where we post about something or someone we can't live without. I am almost at a loss for words to describe these most precious people in my life. I couldn't live with out them. They COMPLETE my life.

Taylor Michael is my oldest grandchild..........he is an amazing person..........

.......I don't know if there are enough words in the dictionary to define him..............he is

kind, caring, intelligent, athletic, talented, humorous.......and on and on. I love you Bug!

Austin is one of those people that you have to dig deep to get to know the real person, he is strong of mind, heart and soul............

he will some day grow up to do big things.......I love you my little Austy Spamonte!

When it comes to angels one can't help but think their faces must look a lot like my little Adrianne. She is a sweet and pretty on the inside as she is on the outside........she is my all girl .........

.....she loves to play dress up and dolls and will make the best of mommies some day. I love you Adriannie!

Jaxon lights up the day as much as he lights up my heart. He is probably my most sensitive grandchild and has the biggest imagination I have ever seen on a child...........he is kind, loving.........

full of humor and grace. I love you more than life itself Jax!!

Our little Emma is as bright as the sun, her golden curls and beautiful blue eyes can melt the ice of the thickest iceberg. She is a little tomboy with a hint of girly girl starting to show through......

......when Emma is around one just wants to stop and watch as she opens up the world around her. Emma has a sweet nature and tries to be strong and brave when faced with life's uncertanties. I love you my little Emmer Jean!

And then there is Cash..........our sweet little cuddly bundle of joy. This little guy can light up a room of strangers with his big ole  smile. He is a happy little guy and love and joy just spills from his little spirit.

Cash is happy............

to sit quietly on your lap or snuggle with his mama. I watch as he grows and wonder at his calm quiet little spirit, that of his daddy's I think. Oh Cashus Clay you are a blessing to us and I love you.

Our little baby Lucas.........what a blessing he has brought to our family. I look at him in awe and wonder what kind of person he is going to grow up to be.......will he take after his calm mama or will the intensity of his dad's nature show through.......I can't wait to get to know him better.

Lucas is a miracle sent from heaven............a big boy who already show a strong spirit..........Oh little Lucas I love you!

God has truly blessed me with these beautiful grandchildren. I love to watch them as they grow, to see the kind of people they are and know that God has looked down on us from the Heaven's to give us such warm and beautiful people in which to share our lives. I can tell you that I trully  can't live without these people in my life. They define the person that I am - may God Bless them.

Please feel free to join us with the WeEk of LoVe as it has been a very re-warding trip for me.
