My sweet grand daughter Bella turned THREE on Sunday. My what joy she has brought to so many people. She is talks to you like someone much older and with so much expression. She is good company. She is polite, funny, full of energy, smart and loves to pretend. She is asking questions about God and loves to read her Children's bible. She can sing many songs. We celebrated with a BBQ, cake and presents with family and a few friends. It was a nice Sunday afternoon. I can't believe my precious Bella is 3! What a joy being her grandmother for these last three years has been.

It's My Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to my brother, Tim and my father-in-law Ray both of whom I love so very much! Ray celebrates 89 years on this earth and Tim celebrates 44 years. Dwight and I along with Bella had dinner last night with Ray and Arlene(MIL) to celebrate since I have a softball game tonight. I talked to my brother this morning and his girls~Angela, Brie and Cassidy are so excited and thought that he should NOT have to go to work on his birthday. You can see more of the triplets here.
