It's Somebody's Birthday Today!

Hello everyone! Today is a very special day because it is Jared's birthday. He is one of my little grandsons and he has been looking forward to this day and counting on his little fingers for a month. He is 4 years old and he is my son Jeff's youngest son. Jared has two older brothers and they all keep the homestead bouncing!
This is Jared celebrating his Potty Party a few months ago. He is officially potty-trained and his mother threw him a party to celebrate!
This was taken at Easter time and they were about to start an Easter egg hunt. This is his brother Brent in the picture with him. Aren't they handsome?

Saturday evening his brothers were in a play at church called, "Nathaniel the Grublet." I knew every word to every conversation and song because all my boys 'grew up' with Nathaniel! It sure brought back memories! Jared's brother Cameron played a squirrel and Brent played a raccoon, so his mother drew whiskers on his sweet little face so he wouldn't feel left out.... I love being a grandmother!!

"Happy Birthday, Jared!"

Blue Monday


'Morning everyone. Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Blue Monday is here again and I have the following to share with you....

These are my cousin Paul's Forget-Me-Nots. Aren't they a beautiful shade of blue?

This is my blue "Welcome" plaque that hangs just inside our back door. A gold finch, a woodpecker, and a blue bird have been busy pecking "Welcome" into the plaque. It's taken some doing on their part, seeing as it is made of resin!!
Last weekend was Mother's Day, and we celebrated the day with our son Jeff and his family out at his in-law's place. Hubby is taking the picture so he's not in it, unfortunately. My daughter-in-law's parents are in front, that's me in the back on the left, my DIL Joanna, then Jeff. As you can see, Jeff and I are both dressed in blue. And as you can also observe, I'm the shrimp of the bunch!That's it for today. Please visit our hostess Sally and all the other lovers of blue by clicking the link http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ or the Blue Monday button on my sidebar. Have a great day everyone!
