Happy Birthday Robert!!! Do you remember when you were two years old?

 Our grandson, Robert, is now two years old…..and we all celebrated with him.  

All except Papa.  Papa is doing what a husband, father, and man does…he is out of state on a job site.  We all miss him terribly. 

So this birthday story is in honor of Papa…..and of course the birthday boy, Robert, and Mama too!

The present Papa sent to his dear Robert….a wooden train set!

Vernon waving to Papa….

“What did you say papa?”

All our grandchildren helped Robert put together his new train set.

Hello Papa, from Mama, Hannah, Vernon, Robert, and Gideon….we love you!

Happy Birthday to our precious Robert….your are now a big two-year-old boy!

Learning to ride “bikes”

 

Even Grandma is learning to ride Hannah’s “bike”….

Fun at the river…..in Arizona!!!

Water, swimming, crawdads, picnicking, sunshine, and more swimming….a well-kept secret in Arizona are the countless lakes and rivers that provide lots of summer water fun! 

We feel truly blessed that these little grandchildren are living up in the desert mountains near us for a year.  It is a gift to have this time together….thank you to their Papa and Mama and to God.

These little guys carry their own chairs all the way down to the river….

We are thankful that we have these years together to be grandparents to our precious grandchildren….ALL fifteen of them!  

We appreciate every moment that we get to be part of the lives of our children and grandchildren.  

Yes, we are truly blessed. 

An All American 4th of July!

Barbecued hamburgers, potato salad, and best of all….ice cream made with the help of three of our precious little grandchildren.

Ice cream tastes so much when it is made with little loving hands….
