100!!

Yesterday we celebrated Jerod's great-grandmother's 100th birthday! Can you believe it? 100 years? That is so amazing to me. What's even more amazing is how well she is doing.

Does she look 100 years old to you? She doesn't use a walker, doesn't have hearing aides but she does still have a great sense of humor.

One handsome man!! :)

Grandma with all her "great-greats"

One request Grandma had for her party was to dance. Yes, dance. She can dance at 100 years old. :) That is so completely awesome. I hope I'm dancing when I'm 100


Everyone got into the dancing spirit!





She is a wonderful lady who is loved by many.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA CHARLIE!!

Good Day

Have you ever had one of those days where you sit back in the evening and think back over moments and a smile just crosses your face again and again? Well, today was one of those days. We had a rare 70 degree January day today and on top of that, it was a holiday! So, we took full advantage and my family, my brother and Amanda, and the Tuttle family went down to Palo Duro Canyon and enjoyed the sunshine. It was very windy but thankfully once we got down into the canyon, the wind wasn't much of a factor. We hiked trails, explored caves, had a picnic lunch and shared lots of laughs. And one huge thing I learned is that I am very. out. of. shape. I can already feel my muscles screaming at me for climbing up and down these hills. But I wouldn't trade today for anything. (Well, except getting our referral maybe :))

Little Man looks just that...very little against these big rocks


Amanda and Adam were so helpful with my kids while their mom was being very slow

Absolutely beautiful
These two are dangerous together


This cave had a spot where the "kids" could climb up and then overlook us at the bottom.



Ahh...love was in the air :)



We played around with fun photo shots while the young-uns climbed down.
Such great fun with such great people.

The whole crew before we headed back home

And then God surprised us all by sending a few sprinkles and a beautiful rainbow as we pulled out
And an amazing sunset!

May God bless you with great friends and family to share life with as He has for us. We are very thankful. Have a blessed week!
