I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month. Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now! Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said! I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style. The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters. Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo
Well, I hope you all are doing well on this hot Sunday afternoon. I keep thinking a cool breeze will drift by but so far that hasn't happen. But, a little heat doesn't stop us around Conner's Pond from having some fun in the country with some of the grands.
In the country you make all kinds of entertainment happen. From coloring, painting, dancing and just being cute!
Putting on makeup is always a hit with our littles.
Sleeping in Nana's lap and then a pan cake and sausage breakfast with SPRINKLES is always good.
Swinging with popsicles, 4-wheeler riding with papa and fishing is a MUST around Conner's Pond. But...finding a leaf bigger than your face is the most fun!
Working in the garden planting sunflower seeds was the cutest thing to watch those girls do. Not sure which one was most fun for them. Poking holes in the dirt or trying real hard not to eat the sunflower seeds! LOL!
Pear picking and catching minnows was on their list of fun things to do. Of course then they pretended to be asleep because they said they were tired! Well, I assure you that it should have been ME laying on that 4 wheeler and I might not have been pretending that I was asleep!!!
They did have some fun with Nana working out. They taught me quite a bit matter of fact. They have way more energy than I have I can assure you.
These three will make sleep a whole lot easier tonight but, I wouldn't trade the memories we make for anything. You know it's funny though. We entertain our grandchildren with things we have on hand. We look for ways to teach them about God, country, planting, fishing, nature, enjoying God's beauty that surrounds us, and how to be caretakers of what God has entrusted to us. And.....IT ONLY COST US OUR TIME AND TIME THAT WAS WELL SPENT.
May you enjoy the moments in life that God gives you this brand new week and pray for those in harms way with this horrific storm, those who are fighting for their lives in some way or another, and be sure to give God the praise that He so deserves.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Happy Sunday to you :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous and fun filled post.
Lovely photographs.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan.
DeleteHi Cindy, as usual I love all your pictures. They come out so bright and clear. I need to start using a camera again. I agree, our time with the grands and making memories is so important. Mine are all back in school not so it is hard to get them all together. I just love your backyard. I have always lived in the city, but I am a country girl at heart. Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteOh we would have fun visiting in my back yard Susan. The kids enjoy it.
DeleteYou have the most fun with your grands!! Yes, they surely do have more energy than we do. Have a wonderful ( restful) week.
ReplyDeleteGIRL, I wish I had just a tad of the energy they have!!!

DeleteOh Cindy how fun this weekend was for your sweet grands. I had my two for the weekend and I have to tell you they have more energy than me too!!!! We had 4 dogs, a bunny and two girls full of energy. I will need a nap today! I love those times like you do with our families. Nothing better than this time together to have joy and fun. Have a great new week. xoxo

DeleteAwww such fun times at Conner’s Pond, Cindy! You sure provide such a happy time for those sweet ones of yours. I know what you mean about getting a good sleep after they leave! I wish I could come to Conner’s Pond. 🥰
ReplyDeleteAwe Kitty, we could sit by the pond and have tea! I would love that.

DeleteWhat adorable grandkids...and oh the fun! I miss my (now teenage) grands being little. We had so much fun painting, crafting, playing games, etc. Of course, it's also fun to watch all the activities they are in nowadays. One will be graduating this year and I'm not sure my heart is ready for that. So sorry I haven't commented recently. I don't know what's been going on with me. Some of it is having been busy but some also just tired of all going on in the world right now. Thanks for reminding me I need to think of the good things and give God the praise for all of them. Please come back and visit my blog. I've finally posted a couple new things.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest grand graduates in 2022. Just can't believe it either! I will be by to visit with you soon for sure. I have thought about several times recently. Maybe that was God prompting me to pray for you. So, tonight I shall dear Cheri.
