Brevin’s soccer game, finally there was some sunshine, we even had to find shade under a small tree!
Jason made fun of us for sitting in the shade!
Joke on him……he was roasted when we got home!
Aunt Julie taking her turn with the Little Man.

Halie loved spending time with Tia ….yes we said she was 12!
Gerber Daisy from Grandma and Grandpa Buffo….beautiful color!
and the card read: Happy Mother’s Day Mami. So proud to be your son and a part of your family. Love Always, Kendry!
What a smartie for only 11 months old!
Thank you family and friends for all your prayers, love, visits, flowers, and support during my very difficult week in ICU in American Fork. I wasn’t planning to spend my first Mother’s Day without my Little Man and the rest of my family. I’m finally doing much better, in fact, I’m feeling great today!
Not to many pictures have been taken for almost 2 weeks. As soon as the Raindrop Quit Falling On My Head we’ll be back with a look at how beautiful the world is becoming!
Oh yes……Kendry will be 1 on June 4th…….we are planning a roaring party! Come one come all….Saturday June 4th. We’ll have more details in a few days!
Grandma Great has been busy croqueting dresses for these cute little dolls that will be donated to little girls in need. She does an amazing job. We all wish we had the talent that GG has.
Yes, It’s Mother’s Day. It's a day for celebrating and honoring moms everywhere, but particularly my own mom.
Have you thanked your mom for all that she is and everything she does?
I hope you don't mind, but in honor of Mother's Day, I really wanted to take the opportunity to pay tribute to my mom, who has always been Super Mom to me.
In the last year, I've learned more than ever just how hard it is to be a grand mom. The saying "A mothers' work is never done" is really so true, isn't it?
I mean, I gripe and complain about my how much work it is and I'm a stay-at-home grand mom, but I must give thanks to my own mom for showing me the way in all the goodness of life.
So thank you Mom:
for all the times you've said "I love you" over and over and over again… Not once in my life have I ever doubted your love for me. Those words are always like home-sweet-home to my ears and to my heart.
for the clean and comfortable home you provided… our home was always clean and usually had a very comforting smell of fresh baked goodies. You taught through your own example what it takes to clean a home, make it comfortable for the family, and live a life completely within your means. You were never materialistic and always made the best of every situation. I always remember thinking we had the best house in the neighborhood. And every time I think about sending you flowers, I think of how you would remind me that they wither and die…so here is a picture to remind you that I think of sending you flowers on many occasions.
for the fresh, home cooked, healthy meals… Many of which came right out of that beautiful garden that Dad had in the very back of the yard. I remember so many evening dinner where we all sat down at the kitchen table, spaghetti, roasts, corn beef on toast, the list of yummy things goes on and I. I attribute all my cooking skills to the well prepared meals that I grew up with.
for being the model of a hard-working woman who would do anything for her family… I know you worked full-time outside of our home because you wanted to help share in the responsibilities of keeping our family well provided for. I'm glad you set the example of what it means to work hard, because I learned from that and have carried it over into my own life, and my own children have learned the lesson well, both of them working from the time they were 16 years old.
for your listening ear… You've laughed with me and cried with me. You've heard about my successes and my failures. You've offered wisdom when it was necessary and remained silent when advice wasn't what I needed. You know exactly how to pick me up from my boot straps and remind me to stand strong.
for being an amazing grandmother to my children –and grand children… you were the best grandmother ever to Jason and Ali. I’m especially grateful for the years you spent training and nurturing both of them. Your love is known and felt by all three of those little great grandchildren as well. I know they love dropping by to see you and play in all those treasures they find throughout the house.
and for so much more…
I love you mom. I appreciate you in every way, in all you've done. Thanks for being my SuperMom.
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Psalm 51: 10-12
Yes, I was a PB & J kinda kid, and yes, I still am! So when Little Man decided he wanted a taste of my delicious sandwich…I knew we were a match made in Heaven! Look at this cute little bite he took from his lunch sandwich! Yes that is his little mouth bite!
