Never to old for love
All of my grandparents are deceased except for my Daddy's Mother, we call her Grandma Guild. She is a woman of God and a beautiful lady I must add, at the age of 92. She still lives in the same house that she shared with my Grandfather until he passed in the early 90's and they were married for over 50 years. She lives in New York and I do not get to see her as often as I would like to, and I miss her dearly. As a matter of fact I miss all of my grandparents and would love to see them. If you are lucky enough to have your grandparents around still, call them often, maybe daily and tell them how much they are loved. You never know what you have until they are gone.
I did want to tell you about the awesome deals that we received when we went back to the scrapbook store though. We really hit the jackpot. When we first arrived we chuckled at the prices being so expensive and there was not a lot to choose from. As we were getting ready to leave this lady starts bringing in boxes and boxes full of items and the shopping began. She had Stampin Up stamp sets as low as $2. Pretty soon Michelle and I walked out of there singing victory, if we were not in public I'm sure we would have been doing our victory dance.
I'm sure that Michelle feels the same as I do about our experience. We might have gotten some really good deals on scrapbook items, we learned a really good lesson with the older adults at McDonald's. That alone beats any materialistic deal that we could have ever received. Love your spouse every day with all of your heart because you never know who is learning from watching you!

Spring Break
On Friday the weather was nasty and rainy so Stephen could not work therefore he was here with the boys and I went on to school. When I came home we decided to check Brittaney out of school and everyone went bowling. Stephen and I sat back and watched the kids bowl. We took our adopted son Austin and his uncle Colton with us so there were six kids bowling. It was so much fun watching the kids compete with each other and the boys bowling Britt's turn when she was not looking. There is never a dull moment when all of us get together.
Hunter wanted to relax with Daddy while he waited on his turn.
At the end of our 2 hour session of bowling Brian and Brittaney wanted to trade shoes. I had a hard time deciding which shoes looked best with which outfit, can you help me out?

This weekend has been really busy. Friday night Brian went to prom and had a really good time. He and his girlfriend Jessie have been together almost a year and they went to prom together this year. I must say they both looked great! We took a lot of photos...well my sister in law took a lot of photos and they turned out beautifully. They had dinner at the new Japanese steakhouse in Griffin and then it was on to prom. Jessie is a senior this year so Brian wanted to go all out for her and I think that he did a great job. After prom they went cosmic bowling and then to IHOP to eat. They partied all night and had a great time.
Saturday was Hunter's first tee ball game and he really played well. He had his own cheering section because his Grandaddy, Noni, Paw Paw, Maw, Trevor, and 3 of his favorite cousins came. He was so happy to see everyone there. Daddy was able to take some really good pictures of Hunter in action. Brian is helping coach Hunter's team and after staying out all night he did not want to wake up this morning for the game. Hunter said to him "come on Bubba you my coach". It was really sweet, Hunter loves that his brother is his coach. Stephen and I were really proud of Hunter he played the entire game. Stephen only had to tell him one time to put on his glove. Hunter played center field and I guess he was a little bored and wanted to play so he took off his glove and played in the grass for a minute until Daddy spoke to him. I have to say so far baseball is so much better at keeping his attention than basketball. And he looks really cute in his uniform
