It's Generational

Here is Grandma as she was walking in the V.F.W and seeing all of us waiting for her. You can tell she was surprised!
Yesterday, we had a surprise birthday party for Matt's Grandmother's 90th birthday. It was planned for months and took place at the V.F.W (where Grandma has been a member for 30 years). Almost all the family was there (we won't name any names or the one missing member in South America), some flew in from Texas and we actually kept it a secret from her. She didn't know until she got there. It was a great time together...food, fun and togetherness. Four generations were represented yesterday. The coolest part was to see all the kids together...cousins...brought together because of one woman...she has lived a great life...one of generosity and love. So here are a few pictures from yesterday...


Here is Grandma thanking everyone at the end of the night...most of her great-grand kids are behind her.


Here are the grand kids (Baby Abby is missing) all together...the family was busy from the years of 2001-2007...there were 9 babies born in 6 years.


Here is Carson (cousin from Texas) dancing with his favorite partner, Esther. Every time they see each other they gravitate towards each other...we wish we lived closer.


I love this picture! This is Brady (married to Matt's cousin Lisa) playing with Carson and William...Carson and William were born on the same day (4/2/05), 1/2 an hour apart.

Gratitude Friday

Image
Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
