What is a medium?

K and I were watching TV Thursday evening, when we saw a preview for a new TV series. The series is about a young girl who is a medium. After the preview was over, K turned to me and asked:
K: What is a medium?
Me:( I wondered for a second if this was a question I should answer....maybe he is still too young?)  I told him that a medium is someone who believes they can speak to dead people.
K: People really can speak to dead people?
Me: Some people believe that they can....but I do not know if it really is possible.
K: Do you want to know who I talk to?
Me: Who?
K: I talk to God.
Me: You do? What do you say to him?
K : I asked him for my Great Grandma back.
Me: ( My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest, I gave him a hug & kiss & told him I loved him)
K: Then I say, Amen.
Me: Good job, honey. Good job, my love.

Treat Time!

Last Friday we decided to go out to dinner and then went for a teat afterwards:

K loves mac & cheese at Chili's!

Yummy!

The Lost World

We went to visit Grandma & Grandpa the other weekend. We went out to lunch with them & then they took us to the Dinosaur place! And K's cousin was inside playing too! We didn't even know he was going to be there!

                                            They had so much fun!

Sick Day with Grandma

K was a little under the weather last Tuesday and spent the day with Grandma instead of going to preschool.

                                                  They spent the day building & playing.
                                                   He loves spending time with Grandma!

Heaven Received another Angel

Today is a very sad day for our family. We are saying good-bye to a very SPECIAL woman. We are saying good-bye to my son's Great Grandmother.

Son...you are only 4 years old right now....but you shared a very special bond with your Great Grandma. She loved you very much. The funeral is taking place in Utah, and your father thought you are still too young to attend a funeral. So, he went to say good-bye for all of us.

As you grow up you are going to hear stories about your wonderful Great Grandma Myrt. Stories about the family cabin in Utah, stories about the house she grew up in, stories about her children  Grandpa Wright & Aunt Mada , stories about Thanksgiving dinners, stories about family adventures and fun times.

Today, I want to tell you about who your Great Grandma Myrt was. Your Great Grandmother had a pure heart full of love. She held you when you were three months old and sang to you as you fell asleep in her arms. Your bond was instant. The most important thing to her was family. If you had the privilege of being in the same room with her, she would speak to you as if you were the only person in the room. She loved each and every member of her family, and made sure you felt it. She is no longer physically on this earth....but she is not gone. She is still here watching over you. Helping guide you.....helping remind you...that you are loved. Where is she? She is the kisses you will feel on your cheek when you walk through the wind.

We miss you Great Grandma Myrt. XOXO

Horrible Loss

Today I received some horrible news.
My sister text me some pictures that brought tears to my eyes.
A building that represents my childhood summer vacations caught on fire last night.
What once looked like this:

 

 

After last night's fire, the store looks like this:

 

 

 

This was the store inside the private club where my family owns a summer cabin. My parents took us to this club every summer while we were growing up. I have so many wonderful memories here. Luckily no one was hurt by this fire. So sad. My heart is hurting tonight. 





It's because I eat my pasta salad!

I walked passed K tonight, and noticed that his legs looked very long. Maybe it was just the way he was sitting, maybe it was because I stood up quickly...but they looked very long.
I told him that I noticed a growth spurt, and it wouldn't be long until he is bigger than Daddy. He told me, " It's because I eat my pasta salad!".

" I want some crab, Mama!"

Last week, I was driving  K to preschool when I looked back in my rear view mirror and saw his face.
His face was expressionless. I asked him if he was tired. He said, " I want some crab Mama! I want to go to a sit down dinner and eat crab, and I want to drive far to get there." It was so cute.

Daddy and I decided that K had a great idea. We took him to Red Lobster Friday night. Which is where he got his crab dinner:

Lobster!

Nemo is in the fish tank!

He had a virgin Bahama Mama.



He loved it!

He got his crab!

Daddy cracked all of K's crab....and could barely keep up with how fast he was eating it.

Dun Dun....the crab is going to get you....

 

He wanted to crack his own crab so bad, but Daddy and I were too scared he could get hurt.

Yummy!!

Great idea K!!
