Jeff playing in the biggest sandbox he has ever had! 4 feet deep. Jeff is on the right. He worked hard that day. Jonathan worked so hard that while the food was being passed, he passed out of exhaustion. (He fell asleep). Both boys were a big help, the walls were secured.

Birthday #19

Tis hard to believe that our little ray of sunshine is now 19! She is growing in the Lord and we are very proud of the "Valiant" spirit that she possesses. We may keep her close to home for a while, for she is a young thing and cannot leave her mother (or father! And if'n they try, "They can have my gun when they pry it from my cold dead fingers! "

Happiness IS~

having someone you love close to your heart.
