We had a great time. Madilyn and Anna Grace played and laughed and stayed up late talking. It was really sweet to watch them together and remember when I had my bestest friend over. We went to the aquatic center and swam Thursday and Friday for half a day. Friday it was just too HOT, so we closed up the sale at noon and headed for some cool water. Saturday we sold till about 2 and packed what was left up in a few tubs (labeled of course). We met my Dad at where else but Logan's for dinner. We always end up there. It is very good and anywhere you can throw peanuts on the floor is fun. My children think it is so cool you get to do that. My dad and Madi always end up in a peanut fight and peanuts fly across our table. Ahhhh, memories for her when she is older. I love seeing my Dad. I really am beginning to see just how much he loves us. I saw him every other weekend and a few weeks in the summer growing up. It was hard for me to have a relationship with him. He is a very quiet man and works a lot. But what ever we needed or wanted he was always there. I know I can pick up the phone and he would be here. I love that.I think that is what being a dad is- being there no matter what. In church we talked about our heavenly father and how he is so willing,and patient with us. It is true, God waits on us to come to him, and when we do no matter what we have done he is there willing. How great is our God!
After church we headed to Brent to see Patrick's parents. We cooked a complete meal and brought it for them. We had a fabulous time. It was very relaxed and unhurried. The kids really enjoyed fishing, feeding the horse (stormy), riding 4 wheelers, watching TV under a ceiling fan ( remember it was HOT), dinner and granddaddy's milkshakes. Since my kids could barely walk they have loved granddaddy's milk shakes. It brought back so many good memories of all the weekends we have spent there and how much fun my children have had. They were always sweaty, dirty and messy. But the smiles behind those muddy little faces says it all. It was a great evening. It reminded me of a time not too long ago when things were simple in our life. No dance, ball... just Brennon with Granddaddy and Uncle Marty and Madilyn with Grandmamma. Things are way different now. They are older and even thought they are still children I see the littleness of them fading a bit. I guess that is something you can't stop. It is fun to watch Braiden do all the things his brother and sister have done. He is learning all about the swing in the big tree out front, feeding stormy, the kitty cats, having tea parties with Grandmama, and how no matter what you touch or break (sorry Grandmamma) it is somehow OK there. Thank you for a wonderful evening. I enjoyed cooking for you and spending some quality time together. We will have to do it again soon!

Braiden wasn't going to let them ride without him. He chased them down in the field out front. It was so sweet. He would hold his hand out and yell stop. As if saying wait for me y'all!
