This Is Us

Today was a beautiful day. After church where we were blessed to hear the Word of God taught honestly and chatted with some good friends. Pie made us some lunch grilled cheese with bacon Yum O. Troy smelled the bacon so he was up and joined us for lunch. M&M and Troy then went to take a nap. Bug and I went for a bike ride which was quite windy and of course my 12yr old called me a wimp if I could not make it to the 2 mile marker...so I made it! The ride back was way easier and much more enjoyable. We then headed out into the yard for a little work. M&M never did fall asleep so she joined us to...Troy was called off for the first 4 hours of the shift, he was signed to work 12. So he joined Pie in washing the car. She didn't quite realize how dirty my car was. Troy is so good at teaching the kids and not loosing his temper with them, something I struggle with. This is the spot Bug and I are going to plant our garden. Not a very big spot but it's a start for us city folks.
We do not have a tiller and Bug did most of the clearing himself. He is a very hard worker he is going to make a great employee some day.
Our M&M keeping herself busy by chasing Lucas around and keeping us all busy when she let him out of the fence TWICE. Like the Ladies who taught her Sunday school class today said "she's such a cute stinker".

Looks like you had a good day....
The teaching thing with from Troy must come from BUMPA...he was always good at that.

I know BUG is a hard worker... He moved all those rocks for me along the flower beds in 2007.... must of only been 8 or 9 then.... and he cleaned all the dirt off them with a scrub brush...

An ordinary day really can make one appreciate all of the blessings in our lives. Showing how far we've come, how we've changed and gives glimpses into our future (like hubby teaching grandkids the same things he's now teaching his own kids). Ordinary days are some of my faves. Thanks for sharing.

beautiful. Gotta love teaching those kids and proving ourselves to them! Good for you and hubby! Gotta love when hubby choses to call off to wash a car, just to be with the fam!
