We visited Peggy and Big Papa. Shelby went with us so she could see Tiger, her kitty she gave them. And because she was asking her mom about Big Papa's wife and "What does her face look like?" I guess it's been awhile since she's seen them.

Mom quotes

Mom was saying something silly the other day and I told her I was going to add Mom quotes to the grandkids quote pages.

"Your vibe attracts your tribe." THAT EXPLAINS ALOT.💙😉

Happy Mother's Day

Shelby came running in the kitchen saying "Happy Mother's Day". Then she stopped and said "Where's all the decorations?" She then told Papa & Boo Happy Valentine's Day. and Chels & Boo went to the Khaled Concert for Mother's Day.

Guess who's getting braces today?

Shopping for flowers for Mothers Day.

May 3-6

We took Miss B to Idaho to hang out with the kids and Clay while Tara was in AZ. At bedtime Liam was asking when his mom was coming home & Clay told him not until tomorrow. Liam asked "Can we get another mom for tonight?" We went to the Zoo, and bought a new trampoline & went to Killians BB Game. Liam took a 4 hour nap after we went home, plus went to bed and slept all night. Yep is was a busy week end. But fun! HI MIMI!!!

MIss B

Shelby was running around at Grandpas House & he told her "You need to slow down or you're going to get hurt". She told him "I will slow down tomorrow".

Boo had a 12th birthday party and it was a great day. He told us he wanted a BBQ & so we did and he had lots of cute friends come. And I got a super big hug when it was over so I think he was happy about it all.

Quote of the day: "Mimi, isn't it a coincidence that your birthday and the day you were born is the same?"
