Okay I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures from our trip!
Gramps Olive will ALL his grandkids!
Matt does not want flies in his food;)
Oh yeah!
Curt and his cousin just turned 6!
Fun, Fun!!! Cute kids!!!
Speaking of cute!
Charly working on her figure;)
Playing ring around the rosie's!
All fall down!
The weather was so nice we spent the whole time outside! It was wonderful!
Our "View Room!"
Ry and I were able to have a weekend get-a-way!
It was great (thanks Grandma) and Charly even slept good while we were gone Yippy!!!
When we got home Charly wanted to do nothing but "drive" this car.
Needless to say she didn't get very far!Just a Thought:
We stand at the crossroads, each minute, each hour, each day, making choices. We choose the thoughts we allow ourselves to think, the passions we allow ourselves to feel, and the actions we allow ourselves to perform. Each choice is made in the context of whatever value system we have selected to govern our lives. In selecting that value system, we are, in a very real way, making the most important choice we will ever make.
Those who believe there is one God who made all things and who governs the world by this providence will make many choices different from those who do not. Those who hold in reverence that being who gave them life and worship Him through adoration, prayer, and thanksgiving will make choices different from those who do not. Those who believe that mankind are all of a family and that the most acceptable service of God is doing good to man will make many choices different from those who do not. Those who believe in a future state in which all that is wrong here will be made right will make many choices different from those who do not. Those who subscribe to the morals of Jesus will make many choices different from those who do not.
Since the foundation of all happiness is thinking rightly, and since correct action is dependent on correct opinion, we cannot be too careful in choosing the value system we allow to govern our thoughts and actions.
And to know that God governs in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayers, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him, is, indeed, a powerful regulator of human conduct. ~Benjamin Franklin~

Cute, Cute, Cute! Looks like a great time and wonderful weather! (I'm Jealus!) LOL
I'm glad to hear you and Ry got to have a weekend away! I was even more excited to hear that Charly slept while you were gone! YEA!!!!
The picture of Charly in the car is hilarious! I giggled over that.
Happy Birthday Curt! Six Wow! Time flies!
We miss you guys sooo much! I can't wait until we can see you again. Talk to you soon.
Love, Amy
I love the pictures, and I love the memories. Lets do it again soon. I am also very happy that Charly slept well while you were away. And that you and Ry were able to have a nice getaway. I am grateful to Missy and Grandma Retta, too.
Love the little girl in the car, she seems to be enjoying it even with the blow out. Children have such imaginations, it doesn't have to really work to be fun. (Remember all the miles you guys traveled in the old mazda.... and the dune buggy?)
I like the quote from Benjamin Franklin. What a great guy he was. He understood the gospel, even though he didn't yet have it. Amazing. I love you. Mom and Grandma O.
And she had fun, fun, fun 'til her daddy took the tire away!!! Very cute! I love your pictures....especially the ones of Popsy with all the grandkiddies! Super cute...I'll have to get copies!
Looks like your getaway was Fabulous. I love the purple wild flowers!!!!
Love ya tons, Em
What a fun reminder of a great time!
You always get such cuuuute pix.
SOOO glad we got to see you all even just for a lil' bit.
Love you muchly!
P.S. I love your background songs these days. I was trying to listen to them and then I surfed to Em's blog and her's started pumpin out "The Heat is On!" and I couldn't get it to stop. So I had a cute round of "The Heat is Bubbly" It was sweeeeet!
Super cute. They are growing so fast. Oh, to have a weekend. . . someday.
