Busy Busy...Flagstaff Trip

We have been busy busy busy. The end of April Jeffery left to Florida for almost 2weeks. We invited Grandma Kay back down to Tucson to help me out with the 4boys.

We really appreciated Grandma coming to visit us and for helping so much. We had lots of fun with her. After a week with Grandma at our house, we packed up the car and went to her house in Flagstaff for a busy week. We had Jacque's bridal shower and McCoys baby blessing. It was McCoys first trip and he did so good! He's nothing like Riley was, who screamed and cried anytime he was in the car. McCoy was wonderful and slept almost the whole ride.

In Flagstaff, McCoy met his Great Grandma Eager (Kay's mother)

spent time with cousins,

and hung out with his brothers while we all waited for Dad to join us...

We were all happy to have Daddy back with us!

I love Raising my Boys:

"You are home to him. When he learns to walk, he will wobble a few feet away from you and then come back, then wobble away a little farther and then come back. When he tries something new, he will look for your proud smile. When he learns to read, he will repeat the same book to you twenty times in a row, because you're the only one who will listen that many times. When he plays his sport, he will search for your face in the stands. When he is sick, he will call you. When he really messes up, he will call you. When he is grown and strong and tough and big and he feels like crying, he will come to you; because a man can cry in front of his mother without feeling self-conscious. Even when he grows up and has a new woman in his life and gets a new home, you are still his mother; home base, the ever constant, like the sun. Know that in your heart and everything else will fall into place."

"Example is an important characteristic of a boy’s life." President Spencer W. Kimball

"Mothers of little boys work from son up til son down"

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware. The tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered around the house, the piles of laundry lying around to be tackled, will disappear all too soon. And, you will to your surprise, miss them profoundly." President Thomas S. Monson

"No other success can compensate for failure in the home."

"The greatest work you will ever do will be within the walls of your home."

"Motherhood is about raising & celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be, and that if you're lucky he just might be the teacher that turns you into the person you're supposed to be." - Joan Ryan

"You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read...You have been the embodiment of every graceful fancy that my mind has ever become acquainted with." -Dickens
