What a great weekend!!!

We had a wonderful weekend, it was BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!! My side of the family gets together one weekend in March to celebrate my grandparents birthdays, this year was year 56 for this tradition. We tie quilts and eat and eat and eat. My grandpa turned 80 on the 3rd and it was so great to have all of his great grandchildren here this weekend to help him celebrate.


It was fun to watch the cousins play and have fun with each other, when we lived in Independence the cousins only got to see each other once a year if we were lucky, so it's been nice to be here so they can get to know each other and make memories.

This is Brysan and her cousin Casey out back playing while everyone else stayed inside helping with the quilts. They were searching all day long for rollie pollie bugs, and i think by the end of the day they had collected almost 30, but unfortunately we forgot them at papa Lewis's, OOPS!!









There is Brysans other cousin Jonah. Casey is almost 5 and Jonah is almost 3. I am surprised they didn't end up with sore hands, they swung on that tree limb all day. We had a blast hanging out as a family, we even tried to take a family picture however none are to my satisfaction so we will try again another day but here is the best of the ones we took. I am so grateful for my family and for the love we all share, especially for the example they are to me.
