Our Wee Ones

May 2023

My youngest grand child Willa who is 3 and a half try’s to sing a song about Jesus. Of course it’s cute .

but makes No sense. 

I am teaching Jordon and Willa about Jesus. The Holy Spirit gave me a cute little song to teach them. 

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart all your heart all your heart trust in the Lord with all your heart each and everyday.”

They have learned it quickly along with other Childrens gospel songs. They sing them around the house. 

Children learn what they live so be sure your teaching them Gods Word not religion.

They grow up so quickly. I miss when my girls were little. Those were the days I would take back in a heartbeat. The cute stuff that they do and Willa knows in this home we love Jesus. One day she is just sitting there when she says to me - you don’t say go to hell? I said no and explained it to her. Then of course asked her who said that to her. She told me and I just told her to tell that girl Jesus loves her.

Willa instead of saying Yesterday says "last morning" its so cute.

Butch and I learned how quickly children grow up as we watched our two. Jordon and Willa are no different. Right now we see them every other week for a couple of days. Each time they come you can see they are growing up. 

Jordon starts school next week. Not sure Kindergarten is ready for him but oh well. Willa will be coming by me now every other week for the full week. I will love that. I am buying things so we can have preschool. They are quick learners both of them. We had gotten some puzzles from a neighborhood rummage sale. They were easy for them and both of them love to put them together over and over. Then I bought a bit tougher one. Now when they come Labor Day we have a sixty piece puzzle waiting for them. They will love it. 

Last night Travis calls and says the kids are telling him about marbles where we took them. They said it has the best chocolate milk. Told him we have only taken them to arby’s so far. To funny. Next time they are here I will have to give Jordon milk with my homemade chocolate sauce. Willa likes collagen so she drinks that it’s chocolate too. 

Those two are not perfect by any means but they are a joy. They are learning about Jesus. I found classic super book on YouTube. That’s what Kim watched and they watch the same. They now sing the  bible songs around the house. They love grandma’s and grandpa’s. Willa never wants to leave. 

We took them to the beach a few weeks back and they had a great time. Then of course for ice cream. It doesn’t take much to entertain them. Yesterday when they were here they were in their little pool and they found a baby frog. Of course grandpa came home and said that’s a toad. They didn’t care. They had a ball but of course killed it I am assuming from handling it to much. 

When they first started staying overnight here Willa woke up to lightning and thunder that morning. Her and I came out of the bedroom to the living room where we could watch it. I explained all about it to her and told her grandpa was working and watching it to. He likes it. When Butch came home she ran for the garage and said grandpa did you see the light up? She also told Jorden when he got up all about it and said they didn’t have to be afraid. Those are the moments moms and dads. Don’t be to busy to miss And when God says they learn from what we say and do never be mistaken they truly do.

We started out all sleeping in the king size bed with Butch in the queen bed. We bought a single bed but the two of them fit but it’s tight. We kinda sleep all over now. Of course now Willa will be the only one sleeping over. They have both slept in the adjustable bed and have no idea it moves. Even Eden the oldest at age 11 she slept in there and has no idea. If they knew they would want to play with it. 

There all coming for Labor Day and Travis is in charge of dinner. He is making his famous ribs. 

More later.

We had a very nice labor day. Travis made his famous ribs. I made coleslaw and chocolate cake. The kids don't really eat the ribs except for a tiny bit I make them eat or no treat. Eden loves the ribs. They are good. Tina and Mick joined us. Its always fun but can be exhausting in a good way. Willa spent the night.

I have always tried to get out of making a turkey for thanksgiving. Kim never lets me though. This year starts a new tradition though. We will be having ribs. For me thanksgiving has always been making a meal that takes less then a half hour to eat and then I have to clean up. NO MORE.

The puzzle that we had bought they were not interested in yet. Thats okay though.

Jordon has started school now. He seems to like it. Willa is has been here with me all week except Travis doesn't work on Mondays. I do enjoy it. 

I made chili on Tuesday. Jordon loves my chili except this time Travis told him to crumble crackers an put them on top. He didn't like it. He never did that before. He eats crackers on the side. Right now I am planning every Tues. making chili. Willa likes my soup. Chicken, rice and carrots. She loves carrots so I put alot of them in it. I made chicken noodle one and she didn't care for it. Says she prefers the rice.  She is picky what she eats but does eat the right things. She love my collegan and my smoothies. Of course she never saw me make the smoothie so has no idea what I put in it. She did however ask what is the green stuff. I couldn't tell her spinach so I told her the cherries have leaves on them. I won't lie to her cherries do have leaves. We get these healthy orange packets that we add to water. She will ask me for it. 

Willa and I went out on my errands on Tuesday. We got stopped by a train. She enjoyed herself. On Thursday we went to dollar store after seeing Kim for my adjustment. Only a child would think a game called candy land would be a game where you play with candy. We stopped at marbles as the kids had told there dad but of course it's Arby's. This time though I just got a meal and she ate the meat from the sandwich and the curly fries. I don't give them soda much and neither does dad but she had some coke. Of course she likes it. 

As I said its every other week. It’s mommy's turn on Sunday. 

November 2023

This week when we had Willa we had to make a delivery to NewLondon. On the way out Butch saw some deer in the woods. Willa missed them. I prayed and asked the Lord on the way home if He could bring a deer closer for her to see. I was driving on the way home and I could see the deer ahead. Nobody was behind me. The deer was standing right in the middle of the highway. We drove pretty close to it before it took off. Willa saw a deer or as she says a reindeer. 

February 9th, 2024

The kids have two cats at daddy’s. Kevin and Clayton. Well Kevin decided he wanted to explore the outside. The children won’t say who let him out. Travis got a trap and set it on the patio to catch him. He put his food and water in inside cage. He also put his liter box outside. I guess a cat can smell that from quite far away. It was 1:30AM when Travis heard the cage shut. The angels as I told Willa brought him home. 

Jordon is learning new things in kindergarten. He seems to enjoy it. Willa comes by me and we have our own learning. Her and I and now Butch go to Arby’s one a week it’s her favorite place. 

We go browsing through stores too and yea I do say no most time. In fact when we were leaving Unity consignment shop she says to us look look. There was a plane really low coming in for a landing. 

She now watches the new edition of super book. She loves Jesus and makes up her own songs as she sings to him. 

Eden is twelve now and I taught her how to sew. She was happy. 

Kim and Travis are now engaged. Not sure when date is though. When they marry Kevin and Clayton the cats will go and live at aunt Mary’s. As well as Henry Kim’s dog will go back and live with Scott. They will move in at Kim’s house and be one happy family. 

March 18, 2024

They moved in at Kim’s house. This is there second week over there. This will be good for the kids. They need stability. Scott has Henry but on the off weeks Henry might come back to Kim’s. Henry was there and Kim wasn’t and Henry let Eden pick him up. Henry isn’t use to the kids and I don’t think ever will be. 

Hard to believe it’s March already and Jordon will be out of school. Willa will be starting pre-k this fall. I remember how quickly they grow up and Willa and Jordon and Eden are no different. It’s like you blink and there driving the car. 

Willa enjoys coming here on her week. She plays so quiet it’s easy to forget she’s here. She still sleeps over on Wednesday night. We always start our morning with mother goose Christian  songs. She really relates to what she hears me say about Jesus. Summer will be here before long and they will both be here. We don’t see Eden much but maybe one of these Mondays she will come over and we can sew again.
