Sweet Shot Tuesday

 

Enjoyed a wonderful Sunday with my daughter-in-love, and three grands.  As always, I got the girls to sit and pose.  They are so patient with their aspiring photographer to be - Grammy! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Had to catch my grandson on the run, but love that smile that simply melts my heart.

Please join us today over at My 3 Boybarians for more sweet shots!

I thought I’d also join a new meme called It’s a beautiful life.  This week is a “little bit of heaven”… these grands surely are that for me!!  You can join us too over here!

Grace and her friend Anna Claire playing at the park.  They are just too cute for words.

 

 

I needed my plants watered and found a very willing volunteer.  Kayla jumped in her rain boots and got right to work.  She did such a GREAT job helping her Grammy.

Raising Sons…What NOT to do

 

 

 

Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.

Psalm 127:3

 

As the mother of five sons over the years I've learned many things about the male gender.  

The mother-son relationship is a dynamic one, and because of it I have come to appreciate a world that would of seemed foreign to me.

Now having said this, I must add raising sons has also been a tiny major challenge.  These guys have kept me on my toes and on my knees.

So...in response to this subject I have some things I can advise that you should not expect from sons.

 

• Do not expect your sons to notice your new hair style, outfit, furnishings in your home, or any major changes.  (sorry ladies this isn’t one of their strengths!)

 

• Do not expect them to stay clean, or  willing to take a bath without some resistance.

 

• Do not expect them to keep their rooms tidy or organized. ( Having fun is a much higher priority )

 

• Do not expect them to like getting their hair cut.  (Some guys never out grow this. )

 

 

(as you can see 2 of my sons have not seen a barber in a while!)

 

• Do not expect them to just sit around quietly and read or color.   Boys are born with a ton of energy they must burn off each day.

 

 

• Do not expect them not to be non-competitive.  Forget it ladies, it’s built in.

 

• Do not expect them to remember your birthday or special occasions.  A gentle reminder is usually called for!

 

• Do not expect them to grow up.  Boys will always be boys!

 

 

  (my son who is a 1st  Lieutenant in the Army!)

 

Of course, this is not characteristic of all my sons or guys in general, but for the most part it’s pretty much their nature.

Actually, my sons are all so unique and have blessed my life in too many ways to mention.  If you would like to learn more about them I did a post here.

I love each one of them and I'm so grateful.  I personally feel privileged to be the mother of five sons.  Raising boys and watching them grow into fine young men has been one of life's greatest treasures.

And now at this season of my life, I've  been  blessed with three beautiful granddaughters.  Gosh...it just doesn't get better then this!

 

 

 

And not to forget one very cute grandSON!

Project 365-My Week In Pictures

 

 

Started our week off with a wonderful dinner at Out-Back.  I’ve been saving a gift card we had for quite some time.  Oh my…the pictures tell the story.

 

 

I rented a new lens for my camera.  I took a bunch or random pictures to check it out.  It’s now on my wish list!

 

 

My husband took this great picture.   I was really impressed.  (I think I have some competition going on here!)

 

 

My granddaughter outside enjoying a beautiful day.

 

My precious son Jordan, getting ready for the LSU season to begin.  Geaux Tigers!

 

My sweet Grace acting silly for her Aunt Katie!

 

My sister Mary came out to celebrate my son Joel’s 20th Birthday.  It seems like yesterday she was sitting in the chair right beside me as I gave birth to my last son.

Want to Change Places?

 

 

 

I recently received this cute joke in the mail .  I thought at the end of a crazy week, we could all use a laugh.  So good to be back here with you.  Happy Labor Day everyone.

 

 
Do you have any idea how hard your wife works to be a good mother?

Imagine this: six dads are dropped on a desert island with one car and three kids each for six weeks.

 

 

Each child will play two sports and take music or dance lessons. There’s no fast food, and every man has to correct homework, help with science projects, cook meals, do laundry, budget for groceries, pay the bills without enough money, know the birthdays of friends and relatives and send cards.

 

 

In addition, he has to take each kid for haircuts and to doctor and dentist appointments, bake cakes for school functions, plant flowers, and keep his home presentable at all times.

He can only watch TV after the kids are in bed and his chores are done, and then he must have enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment’s notice.

 

He should be well-groomed, go to church at least once a week, read to his kids, pray with them every night, pack their lunches and favorite snacks, fix breakfast, make sure they’re dressed and on the school bus by 8:00 am.

At the end of six weeks every guy will be tested on his child’s height, weight, shoe size, favorite color, song, drink, toy, and their biggest fear. And here’s the best part—the winner gets to play the game over and over again for the next eighteen to twenty-one years!

 

So, do you still think you want to change places with your wife?

“A good wife is…worth more than rubies.” Pr 31:10
