Sunday, December 7th was mom's - Grandma's Birthday so we all meet at my house for the big celebration, she probably hate's her birthday this month along with her anniversary on the 16th. We try not to mesh it together with Christmas but somehow we always manage to throw a little party-giftexchange into the mixture (sorry mom).
We ate chicken balls for dinner requested by her. Stephanie made a nummy peppermint ice cream dessert.
Travis had th idea of going around the circle while we ate and say something we love about mom-grandma, some of the things said were we love that she buy's us stuff, which she always is surprising them with little gifts, others said her unconditional love for us and the grandkids. She is always making time for us especially when we call at the last second, She will drop everything just to help out. She definatly is the most unselfish person I know and there is no way we would survive this raising kid stuff without her. WE LOVE YOU MOM!

A Mother of Boys
I don't like dirt and constant loud noise,
So how could I become a Mother of all boys?
Our laundry is colorful, blue green and red,
But this time I was hoping for pink or purple instead.
I always imangined I'd have one or two girls,
in her special "spin dress" dark hair full of curls.
I bought little outfits, hairclips and bows,
Fabric for quilts that for her I would sew.
Then the day came, and we saw on the screen,
There would be no pink, just more red, blue and green.
"How could this be?" I thought in my mind,
That is definatly not what I thought they would find.
I cried many tears, and for days it was rough,
I packed away dreams with the pink girly stuff.
Then one day I realized the fun and the joys,
That would come to a Mother of 4 handsome boys.
I was already blessed as a mother with three,
How much more fun would one more boy be?
We won't break the bank buying everything new,
I've saved the boys clothes and all their church shoes.
I'll still be the Queen of the castle here,
And the first girl they loved till their teenage years.
The three I have are the best I could wish for,
And I know that will be with sweet boy number four.
I can now look back, and often I think,
"Why was I so set on purple and pink?
I would not trade money for the constant loud noise,
That comes with the blessing of being a mother of boys!
