Today was Stratton's Sunday birthday.  He organized it completely.  He wanted breakfast for dinner, he wanted money and he left me a note that he wanted one 20 two tens and four fives.  He also wanted a Baskin Robbins ice cream stack with his candle on the top.  He was really cute.  It was fun, I knew exactly what he wanted and it made it easy.  What did I learn the last couple of days.  I am not as patient as I want to be and I need to work on it. The Grandma's sometimes try my patience.  I will write about that later (maybe) we are in swimming suits because they played water kick ball.

What has life taught me today?  Today was a rough day with Afton.  She had a lady come bath her she acted out all day.  It was a struggle because with mom because she is recovering from a tooth incident.  When she pulled her dentures out on Sunday she pulled a tooth out with them.  The roots of the tooth stayed in and the tooth was an anchor for her dentures.  She had to have the roots pulled and her dentures fixed.  It has just been a rough couple of days with her.  So what do I learn, Suck it up and get through the situations and be happy and positive.  It only makes it worse if you walk around feeling sorry for yourself.  I started to think my theme should be let it go.  Meaning do the best you can, work as hard as you can, and then forget about the little hard stuff in live. Let it Go and enjoy the fun and good in life, and have a sense of humor!

Fun with some of our kids at Stadium of Fire!

I am still trying to catch up on my blogging.  It is just a good history of our lives.  I will just try to show what has been going on in pictures.

I am still taking care of the Grandmas.  This is Mom. 

Mom is turning 93 i about a week and a half.  Below is Afton .  She is 101. I never thought that I would be caring for them this long.  They are both pretty cute!
