Father's Day and Fingernails!

   This past weekend was Father's day. And yes I mean the past "weekend" not Sunday because Saturday James went golfing with a couple brothers (a much deserved and over due treat) and Sunday we had lunch with the Anderson Daddys where he played Hand and Foot to his hearts content.
James has been such an unselfish and hard working Husband and Father ever since we have been together. I am so grateful for him!

Sunday while at Victoria's having lunch and chi-chi-ing (talking/visiting) with the ladies I invited Hannah and Lydia over to stay the night. They got permission from their father and so they got to come! That night and the next day were so much fun! We did fingernails and toenails...got all our ideas from a book I bought when I was a much younger girl. Little piggies, snakes, pirates, watermelons, polka dots, flowers and so so much more! I can not wait to have another little girl in our family it was so much fun! We had thought a little too late to get the wii dance otherwise we probably would have been up way past 11! Such sweet and Godly young ladies...I just pray my daughter's are as wonderful as they were.

Looking forward to a day to come!

Grandma Bethal

Grandma Bethal went to be with her Savior June 2nd (James birthday) and we had her funeral yesterday....I just wanted to say a couple things that I thought were so special about her,

She was genuine

she was transparent

she was forgiving

she was loving

always had a word of encouragment

loved her family 

was a true friend

I am going to miss watching old movies with her and grandpa. Gonna miss our talks about what we believe and why. About how life used to be and how we wished it were a little more like that still. Talking about how God has grown us and how he's grown our husbands. I will miss her doing puzzles with Justice and having patience with Dawson. Miss her talking to Eli and seeing him light up because he already loved her.


Right now while our hearts ache for her, her heart is no longer aching. While we cry because she is not with us, she is rejoicing because of who she is with! It's funny how death makes me see heaven just a little clearer. Makes it more real....

Grandma was one of the few people who was able to meet Karis here on this earth and now she is holding her there! We love you Grandma Bethal!
