.....And He Continues.......

Another email from Daddy:

Jadyn,

You sure are a special girl, you give the best hugs and you’ve earned the title of “lover girl”.  You know how to make a person feel special with the attention you give.   I just love that you have bonded so well Grace.  I know that you two will have a friendship that compares to no other.  I think you’re a great dancer and I’m thinking you’ll give Grant a run for his money in baseball next year.   Remember to always keep Jesus in your heart and don’t stop smiling, your smile makes me smile and I’m thankful for that!

Love Daddy

We are so blessed by our children. God has definitely given us the mother-lode!!!!! Thank you  LORD!

Another EMail from Daddy

We received this email from Greg today:

Grace,

Mature beyond your years, a girl who can gather her thoughts, articulate what’s on her mind and always keeping her Bible studies on speed dial. 

Wow, I can’t say nor do at times what you can do and your only 9 going on 10. 

I just loved that you ran a race with your mom and you didn’t even look tired.  I think we have a track and field up and coming STAR.

You’re a beautiful girl who loves Jesus and loves her family.  I trust you, we all can trust you, you even watch/take care of an infant (Sawyer).

When I’m in need of a reality check all I have to do is talk to Grace. 

Thank you for being such a good daughter, a great sister a great friend to many, Love Yo Daddy!

What a GREAT daddy!

Pawlak Birthday Party

It's always fun until it turns bloody. It ended with Mikey getting a bloody nose, catching a ball thrown by Jacob. Grant, Reid, Papa and Mimi all celebrated birthdays and I think it was a pretty nice day. Lots of outside playing. We even attempted a "family picture". It was a bit windy, so let's just say, the pictures are ok. Check it out for yourself.

Baby Turns Big Boy (Grant's 5th Birthday)

Grant was counting down the days until his 5th birthday. The day before his actual birthday, Grandma and Grandpa Boss took him to the local carnival. He thought that was the greatest thing ever. And....the other kids were ticked because they wanted to go and were not allowed (because carnivals "hurt mom's heart"). On Grant's actual birthday, we went to Jacob's baseball game then went to G&G Boss's house. I made homemade spaghetti sauce because Grant asked for spaghetti for his birthday meal. After cake and presents, the kids went and swam, while the adults worked on the camper. Then we had a GREAT game of family kickball (Greg, Jadyn, Brooklyn and I versus Grandpa, Grandma, Jacob, Grace and Evelyn - Tom was all-time pitcher and Grant was all-time kicker). As I type this, we are waiting for the Pawlak family to come over to celebrate all the June birthdays, so let the celebration continue!!

Just a Quick Note....

Another baseball game tonight. Another triple for Jacob. And another run scored by our sweet autistic friend on the team. He was so excited tonight! He came us to another mom and me and asked us if we saw it. Oh yes we did, E. We sure did! (PS - Great job, Jacob. You make your mom and dad so proud.)

Oh geez......I forgot I wanted to post this too. I was checking my email this afternoon and I found an email from Greg, written to Jacob today. I will post it below. Brought tears to my eyes.

Jacob,

I just wanted to let you know that I’m so proud of you.  You are a very good Christian boy (turning into young man).  You are so polite and you don’t bring glory to yourself (your humble).  You are an excellent athlete who God has blessed with great hand and eye coordination and it shows in your basketball and baseball skills.  It is a true pleasure to watch you play, I know I and your mom just love to watch you play (and have fun).    Keep up the great work on the field and in school (your grades are great) If you do this the rest will follow in your future. 

Between you and me, we’ve seen all the pitchers pitch and God has blessed you with the maturity of player many years your age.  I loved to watch you smile on the field yesterday when talking to the players after plays, that is what the game is all about.

I love you,

Dad,

PS (your mom loves you too)

Bragging Mother Alert!!!

At Jacob's baseball game tonight, he had 10 strikeouts, a single, a triple and a HR. The best part of it? His huge hits allowed the autistic boy on the team to score his first run! Way to go, Jacob (and Hartland GOLD!) What a GREAT night for baseball. I almost forgot an amazing play at home, when he was the pitcher too!

Grant's Preschool Graduation!

Today Grant graduated from preschool! They had a nice ceremony at the park, where the kiddos all sang the RED, BLUE and YELLOW songs, and finished with YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE. Then they did their graduation people. "Grant wants to be a Lions football player when he grows up because he like to play football." It was all followed up by a potluck. Bring on kindergarten! The pictures include his friend Logan M. (Morrish) and his teachers, Mrs. Pederson (AKA Mrs. Sue) and Mrs. Yoerg.
