his face when he saw the 4 wheeler

happy boy!!

The boys were having a blast last wk , they would go out and start a fire with the pine needles and try making popcorn from field corn, don't think that worked to good.. Our dog had more puppies not sure what kind they are:(. She was roaming a little to much and not  sure who the daddy is... The boys are having fun with them...                        Ethan had a birthday on Saturday , he turned 5, he's not so little anymore, Steve called me Saturday morning and said he found a 4 wheeler he wanted to get for him, at first I was like no I was thinking more like a battery operated one, but said its up to him,  we'll he came home with it and Ethan loved it!!!!           I was glad he got that one and not the battery one, I kinda forget how big he really is:).                                                     It's looking like we might be going to pa earlier then we had planned, my grandfather has not been well the last week and we have been waiting on a call,     The plan now is to all go up together and me and the boys will stay till Christmas , steve will fly home and come back up the wknd before Christmas .......          I did get some cookies and some choc covered crackers and Oreos done.... Looks like the boys will miss the Christmas play Friday night,    He is 94 and I know he is ready to go , but its never easy seeing somebody walk thru the valley of death.... It's at times like this I wish I could be there with family,  but it is what it is, I' m so thankful that Jesus made a way and death is really just when our life really begins...so thankful this life is not all we have........it is really only a vapor in light of eternity....     Blessings!!!
