We are so very blessed to have Grandad! He is so much fun with the kids. He loves to take them fishing, swimming, hiking and he is always up for a party. He is kind and helpful. He is a great example of what it means to spend quality time with your family. We love him! Happy Birthday Grandad!!! 
So sorry, Buddy!
Rod turned his ankle on second base. It was a terrible sprain that has taken A LONG time to heal. Poor guy.
Tanielu is a wonderful boy! I love that he is so quick to help out around the house and is the best Tani-bear hug giver ever! He always knows how to make everyone feel better and gives great compliments. He has become very good at soccer and T-ball this year and is great on his bike. He has become an excellent reader and has stopped "guessing" at the hard words. Tani loves to watch "Treasure Planet" and the Star Wars movies. He also really likes "Tom and Jerry". He has recently started building with legos and can build some amazing guns and cars. Tani is my "Golden Heart" boy and has a lot of emotion about life...happy, sad, joy, fear, love....Tani feels life to the fullest. 
Tanielu started Kindergarten! I was so proud of him...so handsome and confident. He ran ahead of me into the school. He is still young though...he had me give him kissing hands before leaving. I found myself crying all the way to the car. I told Tani they were "happy tears." There is something joyful and sad about the way time keeps moving along. He will never be home with me more than now...he will just go more and more. That is the way it is supposed to be I guess.
Owen started preschool at Learning Dynamics. He is excited to learn to read this year. He went right to class too...no problems. He said he felt like he wanted to cry but he just "tried really hard not to." My tough little guy!
Happy Birthday to our wonderful Billy!
