Happy 80th Birthday!!!

061809 004 Today is Grandpa Runnells 80th birthday! He is the most kind and generous man. He does so much for us and always shows us so much love and support in all we do.  He is a special person and a wonderful grandfather to Troy, me and our kids! We got to spend some time with him and Troy’s family over the weekend at the cabin.  He shares his birthday with Troy’s brother Brian, so we had a double(with mine, triple) birthday party.  It was fun to see everyone and let the kids spend time getting to know their cousins.  Cooper and Chase had their first rides on the quads and totally loved it!   

Happy Birthday Grandpa!  We love you!!!

Tidbits on the Kidlets

Ellie has straight hair just like her mom.

So I found this tiny little roller I used to use on my little old ladies when I did lots of “sets”.

It worked and she looked so cute with a little curl!

Not to be outdone by their sister…071709 013

Chase and Cooper also felt like they needed a roller.

Here they are taking care of their “babies”.  I love how sweet they are and say “shhhh” when the baby is sleeping.071709 101

Troy also got the boys a new toy…

“Bassetbow” as they say!

Do you love every cushion off the couch to get it high enough to play?   We did eventually move it behind the little couch and so they can stand on the couch and play without the falling hazard that the unstable cushions were.  My favorite was a couple of Sundays ago we were sitting in church.  We sit way in the back where in the overflow in the gym.  Chase was sitting on my lap and happened to look up and see the basketball standard that was folded up on the ceiling.  He got super excited and yelled “bassetbow”!  It was super quiet right at that moment and everyone around us had a pretty good laugh.   Chase also chose that same day to try out a new word.  During the middle of the prayer he yelled out “AMEN” with pleanty of gusto!  Cooper also decided that he would dance during the rest Hymn. What can I say… we provide entertainment during Sacrament meeting.
