PonyTail Flip!


ha! I found this picture today and it made me laugh so hard!

Dad always does the "PonyTail Flip" to us when we have our hair up.

This picture is so funny because Sommer is all calm and poised and beautiful and Dad looks so amazed at the awesome PonyTail Flip he has just created above Sommer's head. Hilarious!

Happy Birthday to you, oh happy birthday to you...

May you find Jesus near, every day of the year!

That's so funny that we all called Dad and sang that same version of "Happy Birthday" to him!

Dad, I'm so glad you got to have a Nine-tastic birthday. It was on 09-09-09 and you stayed up until 9:09. That's crazy!

We love you so much! I especially love what a good story-teller you are, how creative you are, and how much you care for all of us.

happy birthday!

THIS WEEKEND I TOOK ON THE CHALLENGE OF BEING PLAYFUL!!


Do some art = I photographed a beautiful girl blowing bubbles!



Climb



Swing - This was Grant's newly-built tree swing



Take a bubble bath - so relaxing!



Blow Bubbles - which I have always been a fan of


The other three are: Run, Jump and Get Dirty, which was very spontaneous, so there are no pictures.  I have to tell you about it though, because it was one of those things that only happen when you have been together for 27 years. Tony and I were doing our morning walk and it had been raining for days. We were approaching a mud puddle, which we could have easily avoided.  All of a sudden, we both broke into a sprint and RAN to the puddle, JUMPED around, and of course, we both got very DIRTY!  IT WAS HILARIOUS!  I wanted to accept this challenge from Brooke's blog since merely months ago I never thought I would be able to do any of this stuff again. This is a testament to never getting too old or too sick to have fun. Also, it's a praise to My God. Four months ago, after my second cardiac catherization, I was very depressed, and thought all the fun times in my life were over. Thanks to God, I think there's a few more to come, and I can't wait to see what He does next!!  Every good and perfect gift comes from above!
