My sweet Ady is completely surround by boy cousins. I sometimes wonder how she holds her own against this rambunctious group. And then I remember how much these boys love Ady. They are kind to her and make sure she is always included in the fun. Nathan and Ady are especially close.
I never lived close to my cousins so at times like these I look at my children and pray they are making life-long memories.
Our 4th of July was fantastic. Not because we went to a great neighborhood breakfast and parade. Not because we met up with our good friends Jason and Emily (that was a blast). Not because we had an amazing view of the fireworks. No, our 4th of July was fantastic because we came up with a new invention. This invention has not been patented yet so please don’t sell our idea.
Ladies and Gents without further adieu,
The Corn Sword
This is not your ordinary everyday corn on the cob holders. These are ergonomically designed as a 3 in 1 corn holder, tooth picker, and gum flosser. It’s kid tested and mother approved.
This past weekend Kent’s grandma came to town for a family reunion. Grandma Monson is 96 years old and always sports a pair of crazy glasses. She also wears a pin that says “I heart Ken” in remembrance of her husband. In a lot of ways she reminds me of President Hinckley. She is sharp and possesses a great sense of humor. Trev and Ady were so excited to see great grandma. Kent made a special appointment so we could have some one-on-one time with her. Grandma is a busy woman with 11 kids, 55 grandkids, and who knows how many great-grandkids. It is sad to know there are so few left from Grandma’s generation. I hope Trev and Ady will be able to remember this remarkable woman.
