My Nephew and his wife just had a son - Brenden was born April 19 at 7:20 pm, 6.14 pounds, and was 20 inches long.
He was born on my father's birthday. How cool is that? Here are some of the pictures of the little rug-rat. (Cute as a button)
We Drove east on Highway 20 towards a town called Darrington. the drive was about 40 miles from home. The road took us around a mountain range and then we were in the valley of two ranges. It was awesome.
Pleasent Spring day, green grass, snow capped mountains, running creeks and rivers, cows, birds of all sorts, parks, old houses, old train tresses.
"Everybody in this life has their challenges and difficulties. That is part of our mortal test. The reason for some of these trials cannot be readily understood except on the basis of faith and hope because there is often a larger purpose which we do not always understand. Peace comes through hope."
"It takes courage to be a real friend... A friend is a person who will suggest and render the best for us regardless of the immediate consequences. Sir Winston Churchill became Great Britain’s greatest friend in his country’s darkest hour because he was courageous enough to call for “blood, toil, tears, and sweat” when some would have accepted him more readily as a friend had he advocated peaceful surrender. President Abraham Lincoln was once criticized for his attitude toward his enemies. “Why do you try to make friends of them?” asked an associate. “You should try to destroy them.” “Am I not destroying my enemies,” Lincoln gently replied, “when I make them my friends?" 
"Only when we fix our gaze on the heavenly things do we begin to understand the eternities. Only with the help of Christ can we fully overcome tragedy. It is necessary to develop our faith in Him as the Redeemer of the world. He taught us: “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." --Carlos H. Amado, "Overcoming Adversity", Ensign, Nov. 1989, 29
There is a tupil festival up here in Washington. It last the whole month of April. We have been so busy this month and with all the cold weather the tulips were late in blooming! Today was our first chance to get up to Mount Vernon to see them all in Bloom.
After we finished looking at the beautiful tulips we drove to downtown Mount Vernon. There was a street fair going on, with plenty of arts & crafts booths and a ton of food. Ashley & I had corndogs and fries Shiloh & Bill had Brustworths (Polish dogs) and they helped us girls eat our fries. Shiloh and Ashley also enjoyed a Shiskaberry. (This is Strawberries dipped in white chocolate and milk chocolate, then put on a spear like shiskabobs).
We enjoyed walking around and looking at the local art offered at the fair. We also listened to street music. (Wonderful pan flute)
(But no Gambling)
After we got home and helped Bill look for dead mice under the house, Ashley and Shiloh went out to look for plants to put in the planters that are in the back yard.
The golfers have been out all day. There was even a crash (Golf Carts) in my back yard. Those guys are drinking and having too much fun and not looking where they were going and one stopped and the one behind kept right on going. Luck that they dont go very fast so no injuries were REPORTED. LOL
If you ever need a break from life come on over and relax in a chair on the back porch.
"To fully understand this gift of agency and its inestimable worth, it is imperative that we understand that God’s chief way of acting is by persuasion and patience and long-suffering, not by coercion and stark confrontation. He acts by gentle solicitation and by sweet enticement. He always acts with unfailing respect for the freedom and independence that we possess. He wants to help us and pleads for the chance to assist us, but he will not do so in violation of our agency. He loves us too much to do that, and doing so would run counter to his divine character."
"The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother"
