Once upon a time, there was a man and woman who fell in love and had 5 kids. Times were not always easy for them as money could be tight at times but they raised these kids to be wonderful, loving adults. Just as their parents, these adults than married and had kids of their own, now making the man and woman proud grandparents. There were 11 of these grand children in total and family get togethers were full of laughter, love, giggling girls, some card playing and a little craziness. These grandkids followed the same pattern and eventually started creating families of their own, now making the man and woman great-grandparents. This leads us to today. There are currently 13 great-grandkids and I would guess this number will increase again someday. But the memories are there! I look at this picture and think how amazing life truly is. (Note - one child is not pitured here).
Happy early bday to my Gma!
Schuyler has been enjoying Husker Kids. They play a lot of sports, swim everyday, and do board/card games for free time in the a.m. In addition, she went bowling, had a cook out, and made a bandana. She is looking pretty tired!!
In addition to my Gma's bday, we are preparing for Mark's and Mack's bday next week! Mack is having an outdoor fun bday party at our house. We are hoping for some sunshine so we can have sprinklers, water balloon's etc... She will be turning 5. I remember this as being a milestone age for Schuyler and am sure it will be for Mack as well. She got to go on a mini field trip with 2 of her teachers to pick out flowers for their flower bed at school. She was feeling pretty special being one of the leaders = )
