Boys Will Be...Boys!

I have a little goldfish/koi pond in the yard that my husband gave me for an anniversary present--many years ago. This year we remodeled the pond a little bit, and gave it a new look.



I spent an entire Saturday in March, wading all over that pond cleaning out unwanted rocks that had gotten knocked in over the years...



Cade comes to visit, and guess where his favorite spot in the whole yard is...the fish pond! Guess what Cade wants to do when he gets to the fish pond....



You probably guessed it...throw rocks into the pond! If you look closely you will see the splash that the rock made as it hit the water...Well, boys will be boys...I guess I'll just have to spend another Saturday wading in that nasty pond again---but I'll wait until the water clears, and I can see my feet again!

A Big Milestone...

Welcome Friday Followers...This is MiMi's little blog, where I get to display photographs of my favorite little people, and write about what is going on in their lives. I hope you enjoy your visit here. Be sure to leave a comment, so I can visit your place as well. Thanks so much to One2Try, HeartsMakeFamilies, and MiddayEscapades for hosting this bloghop.

If you want an example of how fast time really passes--just look at children! The cute little toddler, celebrating her second Christmas while cooking on her first stove, has now grown to be...

This little preschooler! That's right--Madison has officially been enrolled in a two day preschool for the fall. It's hard to believe that she is going on 4 years old. She has an October birthday, so she's not old enough for pre-K.

Madison's mom thought some interaction with some other children might be good for Madison, so she's enrolled her in "Wee Kids". It's a 3 hour preschool that is only held two days per week at a local Baptist church.

I remember when I felt the same way about Brandy, Madison's mom, and enrolled her in preschool. It was a happy time--it was a sad time...I realized that my little girl was growing up, and for the first time...I wouldn't have the only control and influence in her life anymore. What a sobering thought, especially in today's world...

Madison's mom is having those same feelings...Hold on Brandy and Maddie...the ride is about to begin. May it be a joyous and happy one--for both of you!

Enjoying Spring...

I haven't been blogging on here as much as I usually do. Part of the reason is because I haven't been feeling well...the other reason is because I have been enjoying the spring days with these two little ones!

I enjoy watching Madison and Cade playing together. Cade is "all boy" and loves to play outside. The two of them get along great together most of the time. Madison has come a long way from those early days when she wouldn't come near Cade!

They seem to enjoy spending time together, and I sure enjoy spending time with them. They had a fantastic time last week, playing outside on Madison's outdoor toys. They even "fought" a little over who was going to stand on the little perch at the top of the slide...I guess one is just as stubborn as the other, because neither one moved!

The Young and The Old...

This is a picture of my grandson, Caden, and my daughter's old dog, Junior. I love the way Caden squatted down to be eye-level with Junior. They shared a moment with each other, then each went their own way...

When I downloaded this photograph, I was struck by what this photograph represents...the young and the old...Cade is "the young" with his entire life ahead of him, while Junior is "the old"-- an old dog in his final months of life(heartworm disease). For some reason, that touched my heart...I thought it was sweet--and so goes the cycle of life...

Six Word Saturday...

Hello, and welcome to Six Word Saturday. It's the weekly meme that is hosted by Cate at http://www.showmyface.com/, and uses just six words to describe something.

This is a photograph of my husband, Ed, and our granddaughter, Madison.

Madison's six words might be:

Do you like my driving, E-pa?

I love this picture! I ran out and snapped it, after I saw Madison chasing Ed down for a chance to ride on his tractor...special times, for sure!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

What Can I Say About This...

The only thing I can think of to say about this picture is..."You might be a country girl if...you use the top of your sandbox for a chaise lounge..."LOL

If you are here from Friday Follow, welcome. This is my little blog about the two special ones in my life...aka...my grandchildren! The posts here are short, but sweet--just like my grandchildren. Enjoy your visit, and if you leave a comment to let me know you were here, I'll return the visit! Have a great day....Kathy

Been Missing My Maddie...

I haven't exactly been feeling like myself for the past 3 weeks. I've been having migrane headaches, having trouble sleeping, and just generally feeling lousy(medication withdrawal). As a result, I haven't seen Madison very much.

Madison only knows one volume on her voice control box--loud! That's not what one feels like hearing when experiencing or overing a migrane...

Bless her heart, she's been trying to figure all of this out in her little mind. She tearfully told me on Saturday..."mama won't let me come over." My heart nearly broke. I wonder what in the world she's been thinking...

Hopefully, these headaches and other crap will soon subside. I'm ready to get back to life with my favorite "little ones".
