What Grandma's Love Best

During the 24th celebration all of my brothers and sister were home. After the parade we decided we would head up to Greer for a picnic. It was beautiful. Nice and cool with wild flowers blooming everywhere. When we were little we would always pick the wild flowers and give them to our Mom and Grandma.

This little cutie is Shayli, my sister Liane's granddaughter. As you can see she loved the wild flowers. We were sitting visiting and here she came and handed Liane a couple of stems. She said "Grandma I brought you some...........WEEDS!"

Sure enough she did!!!

The Tale of Trailer Trash

Introduction of main characters:

This is my oldest brother, Mark. He is the star of our tale. He is a very big tease, he lives in Taylor, and works at the Paper Mill. If you know about the Mill you know that it is shut down way more than it is running, which means very little, if any hours of work.


This is also a very important part of the tale. When Mark knew all of his siblings would be home for the weekend he realized how cramped the parents house would be so he brought his travel trailer and parked it right in front of the parents house. He had lots of room!

Last but not least, Anden. He is my sister Liane's grandson. He is three and so very, very, cute and very, very, smart.

*a little disclaimer: I only heard this story so if parts are not completely accurate please be understanding!

Anden wanted to know who this guy was who had this cool place in front of the house so he asked him what his name was. Now this guy explained to him that he was a guy who didn't have a job and lived in a trailer parked in front of his parents house so he should just call him Trailer Trash.

Anden loved Trailer Trash. You see Trailer Trash let Anden play in his trailer and even gave him rides on his quad. He always asked, "Where's Trailer Trash?" When his mom and grandma's were going to the store he did not want to go. He told his mom to go find Trailer Trash and see if he could stay with him. To Anden, Trailer Trash was just too cool.

All of the others who were around really did love to here Anden talk about Trailer Trash. They all thought it was just too funny and of course egged it on a little bit.

Well one afternoon walking home from playing at the park, Anden just couldn't wait to see Trailer Trash. He told several random people that he was going to find Trailer Trash. This is where our tale turns a little sad. His mom, hearing him tell strangers decided it was time to put an end to Trailer Trash and told Anden that his name really wasn't Trailer Trash but really Uncle Mark. From that point on Anden called him Uncle Mark.

The end of our tale really isn't a sad one because Mark, you will always be Trailer Trash to us!!

Harry Potter Review

I LOVED IT!!! Kace keeps telling me it is his favorite movie so far. I have totally come to terms with the fact that I just love anything Harry Potter. It just makes me happy :) I have to say that Ron just might be my favorite. I can't wait to see the last two movies.

Harry Potter Here We Come

We have five tickets to go see Half Blood Prince tonight!!! I am so excited. I just finished reading all the books and forgot how much of a fan I really am. Like I said we have five tickets but one of them is NOT for Mark. He is a big stick in the mud!!!! We are taking one of Kensie's friends who is here staying with us from Snowflake. I am counting the minutes and then I will have to post my review!!!

Oh What Do You Do In The Summertime?

Well, we load up the truck and head to the sandwash. When we get there we explore caves.

Climb all the hills.

Pose at the top of the hills.

Gather wood ( thanks Kace!)

Build a roaring fire!!!!

And then we break out the hot dogs for roasting and bring on the smores! That's what we do in the summertime.
