There's no place like Home.....

“When your mother asks, "Do you want a piece of advice?" it's a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway.”
― Erma Bombeck

 

Motherhood is full of ..........

oppositions....

You're the She-ro one minute

and the nag the next.

 

Kids love to come home....where it's safe

then they love to leave,

where they can be brave.

 

I love being a mother, I always felt that my Mom loves

being a mother too.

It's a hard job, no training, and it takes 20

years to be appreciated.  You always feel

like you could have done more, or

done something better. 

The only do-over you get are grand kids (yeah)

So you buck up and live with what you've done....  

C'est la vie....

Que sera sera....

 

Thanks to my mom and all the moms

and soon-to-be moms and those

who want to be moms.

 

 

The Face

At Soccer

Getting Ice Cream

At the Zoo with the other smiles

(I promised cotton candy if they would smile when I wanted a pic)

Little Miss Vivvers..............I miss this face........

I probably sound like a bragging Mimaw.....

But, this is one of the top 10 faces of all time.

I cannot get enough of her "cheese"

French: "fromage"

Japanese: "チーズ

Spanish: "queso"

Polish: "ser"
Italian: "formaggio"
Greek: "τυρί"
German: "Käse"
  Hebrew: "גבינת רנה

 You Get it......world wide appeal.

 

The Girl of a 1000 faces.

Happy birthday Mom...This is a picture from last summer. ..She's with the younger Hannah in her life.

Happy birthday to my beautiful brown eyed daughter you've brought ?? Years of joy.   (3rd anniversary of 29th b-day...hahaha)

TRIP TO OKC.....continued
(I went to watch the Taylor Tots while Mom and Dad vacated in Chicago.)
 

Viv and Milo found a mud puddle......on a day the temperature was about

40 degrees...............

no brain......................no pain.................

Oh, wait............pain..................

hurt...................help

When the parents were gone, it was up to the Mims

to get them to soccer.....

It was like "flashback"

Viv is almost 4.  She has a pair of yellow stretchy shorts (above)

that are size 24month......she loves to wear them to play

soccer..........it's like 10 pounds of sausage in a 5 pound casing.

but so much cuter on her "tasty cakes"

She compensates by wearing a huge jersey!

 After soccer and a trip to the mall to see The Croods,

(that's the 2nd time for me)

We went to Braums....the local Ice Cream Joint.

Ice storm

I drove thru my first ice storm in Utah a couple of months ago.  Here in OKC it rained all night....now some freezing rain....here it is on the trees......nice....it was warm enough to have the tulips, under the same tree, bloom......now....now icy rain.  It's really cold here. ...I'm usually hot...now I'm cold.....arggg

I'm in OKC watching the Taylor tots.....mom & dad are in the windy city (coming from the windy state they won't even notice) These peeps have been perfectly awesome.
