Hurray for May

Just like tying shoes, or potty training, learning to ride a two wheeler is a big accomplishment. This little 4 year old, MayLee girl picked it right up. Daddy held on a bit and she was off. The hard part about learning to ride a bike is, the start. With a little more work, she won't even need me out there pushing her off. 

She kept saying,"I got it daddy, let go daddy!!!"

Daddy is happy to have another little addict.

Miss Elizabeth, has been such a dear friend to Gator... She spoils him as if she is another aunti. They hung out the other day... Went to Chick-fil-a,  played at the park, got a little sunshine and rocked these selfies. Thanks for the fun day, and fun memories.

Grandpa's funeral was beautiful... I loved learning things about him that were simply amazing. Like the fact that they called living in a cabin in the woods with a tub on a nail on the side and the potty down the path, the "good ol days", That his service in the Navy was tricky, he served honorably. That he didn't become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, until he was in his 40's, but that he loved the gospel because it brought him so much joy. He served there with his whole heart as well. He loved nothing more than to treat Grandma Great like the Queen that she is. He will be so missed. But I know, it is us that are left here, that will be impatient. He has already begun his work on the other side as an guardian angel and helper, he doesn't have distance in miles like we do, so he must be right near us always. He hears us when we talk to him and we can feel his calming presence. 

Just for good measure, we will eat some chocolate cake... Because cake fixes everything.

Ryleigh gave us all pass of all passes for Christmas this year. We went to set up everything, but we had to ride a few things too...

Jeff's grandpa wasn't doing too good. The cancer that had taken up residency had spread so much. Jeff really wanted a chance to visit. Little did we know that he would be by his side when he left this life. The kids were able to see him and say goodbye as well. It is pretty tricky to keep them occupied with matters that they don't understand for too long. So we visited cousins and went to lunch. They are always excited for the hotel because it means we get to swim in the pool.
