OH MY! WONDERFUL CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

I loved going to Woolworth's with mom and Becky. We had such fun stores when I was small. I especially loved Toyland at The Fair Store.

STEFFINEE'S COOKIES

Steffinee, like her sister Samantha, loves to bake. She took time to make some pumpkin spice cookies for her papaw and Dustin while she was here.

STEFFINEE VISITS

Steffinee rode the Amtrack Train from OKC to Ft Worth to be here for Samantha's birthday. We had some time to visit her favorite spot in Grapevine on Tuesday before her train departed. She absolutely loves the Grapevine Library.

SAMANTHA TURNS 12

SAMANTHA BAKES COOKIES FOR YOUTH SERVICE

Samantha is so excited that Pastor Blake asked her to bake cookies to hand out to the visitors at the youth services on Wednesday nights. She loves baking and told me once that she thinks baking is what God wants her to do. She said she thinks God wants her to bake things for others to enjoy so I was glad that her pastor ask her to do this. She has been busy baking and here are some of her efforts. Way to go Samantha.

Just a few of the many.

CARLOS HOMECOMING 2016

5 FOOT BANANA SPLIT

Isabell, Samantha, and Carlos along with friends sharing  one of the 5-foot banana splits after youth service last night. So thankful they stay active in church.

PROUD OF CARLOS

We are so proud of Carlos and the work he does in Kid City (Children's Church). Here he is today praying with a young boy. Stay close to God, Carlos, and he will take you on an unbelievable journey.

GRANDDAUGHTERS AT BAYLOR FOOTBALL GAME

Samantha loves going to Baylor football games with the Harts. Cindy just sent me this picture of Samantha and Lindsay enjoying tonight's game in Waco.

OUR BABY GIRL IS GROWING UP

This picture popped up on my facebook memories today and it made me kind of sad. It reminded me that our youngest grandchild, Samantha Jewel Wilson, is growing up too fast. This picture is from August 30, 2015. She was singing with the girls choir at church on a Sunday morning. Now that she is middle school age she has outgrown the choir and is in another group. Moments like these make me realize how fast time flies.

MARRIED 50 YEARS

On August 14th Steve and I celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. This picture is in our home at 414 Vicki St., Keller, Texas.

MY GRANDSON

Yes, that is our grandson Carlos surrounded by girls on his first day of his Junior year!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 2016

I took a year off from blogging and now I need to catch up. Since my last post was the first day of school last year, I will restart with the first day of school this year. Hard to believe Carlos is a Junior, Isabell is a 9th grader and our baby grandchild is now in 6th grade. Lord have mercy, we are getting old. Lauren is a Senior at Baylor University and Lindsay is a Senior at Grapevine High. Steff home schools on an internet program in Oklahoma.
