Look Who Joined Our Family

Look Who's 1 & 2

I am amazed how much little children grow in the first two years of their lives.  Time is so precious and before you know it time is gone and everyone is grown.  I love chubby little hands, grins with new teeth and giggles from their little tummy's. I love my grandchildren and their parents!

It is my wish today that my daughters: Farrah, Athena and Katie, know how much I love and adore them.  They are some of the best mothers I know.  I wish I had them as my examples when I was a young mother!

They are teaching my grandchildren the most important things in this life:
love,
family,
the Gospel,
kindness,
and
responsibility.

I wish I could give them the gift of being able to see what a wonderful job they are doing.
I wish I could show them the way I see them:  as very beautiful and lovely women.
I wish I could grant them the wisdom to know that they are making the correct decisions when it comes to their homes and their families.
I wish I could protect them from any doubts, insecurities and any mean people.

I love you girls!

Happy Mother's Day!

It's the little things. . .

that we do for each other that make the big difference.  It is the kind word, the friendly smile, the friend who truly listens, the simple phrase of "thank you", the sweetness of "I love you" and the courtesy of friendly giving that makes the big difference.  If we all do a little something, allot of something will get done.

Life is short. . . .be nice. . .

Take time for those you love. . .

Because it is the little things, 

like this that will make your day!

 My first colored picture from my sweet little Joe!

(He doesn't look very happy because he wasn't sure he REALLY wanted to give it to me!!!)

Brothers...

I never had a brother so I will never understand, 

but as I look as these brothers I get a glimpse of brother love!

Beats sister drama any day!

I know, the writing in the personal blog department has been dwindling of late!

However, the writing for the Roberts family blog and newsletter is on fire!

So, if you want to read my writing, you'll have to bore yourself with family history!

Because as we all know--

I never run out of 

genealogy talk!!!

P.S.  I am keeping up with my journaling goal for 2014!  

But, you can't read that---

it just might be about you!!!

Weekend fun

This past weekend we had this sweet baby's blessing:

and we had this little boy's birthday!

Love this family!

Love this funny little man!

This is his "smile for the camera" face!  

He isn't mad, he is as happy as can be, he just thinks this is a cute smile face!

Of course I snapped a picture of curly!

However I missed her big brother--he is always avoiding the camera!

It was a beautiful Sunday to spend with family and have such a beautiful ordinance performed by my son.  I love spending time with my children, grandchildren, parents, and in-laws.  It was fun to catch up and visit with everyone.  I am very blessed that I have so much support and love from my family.  Thank you everyone!

  “God is the designer of the family.  He intended that the greatest of happiness, the most satisfying aspects of life, the deepest joys should come in our associations together and our concerns one for another as fathers and mothers and children.”  Gordon B. Hinckley (1910-2008)

 

Welcome to the Family K C:

Look what sweet baby joined our family!

Congratulations, Katie & Anthony!

He is beautiful and perfect!

Look at all of that light brown/blonde hair!

I feel so blessed to have ten, yes 10 grandbabies! 
What wonderful blessings Heavenly Father has given me, and how He has blessed my family!
This is what eases my grief and makes my life sweet!
(And, I sure do love their parents too!)

Look Who's 1

There was a conversation concerning who deserves the congratulations for a first birthday: 

the baby for surviving the parents or the parents who survived the baby!!!! 

 

Either way, look at this cutie...
