Silly things that happened when kids were young......
Leslie put a BB in her ear when quite young and I freaked out and was a nervous wreck. Dad being a pretty calm guy and a smart man got one of his very strong magnets and layed her down like sideways face down on his lap and put the magnet up to her ear and boom it came right out. Wow what a day that was!
Leslie........This day I could not find Leslie anywhere in the house and I was panicking and called dad at his work. He left immediatly and came home. We looked all over the house and lucky we found her sound asleep on floor underneath the bed skirt . She had fell asleep there for her nap....so funny but also so very scary!! Today our Leslie has had two broken marriages and four children, we weep for her and hope one day she finds someone worthy of her and she chooses to return to the gospel. We love her and that sweet spirit she carried with her always.
Our cat.....while living in Orlando /Pine Hills ......not sure how this happened but our cat climbed up into a opening outside of our brick house on Elon Drive and she wouldn't come down for she was so scared. She had climbed pretty high up and we could almost reach her but not quite. She was scared and stuck! We kept trying to reach her and finally we decided to temp her with some good kitty food. It worked, she finally came down slowly after much coaching.Wow, and yes we filled that hole up and we sure hope she won't ever try that again. 😊
Randy....... could not find Randy one day and he thought it would be fun to play hide and seek from me. Looked all over for him and being tiny and thinking it was funny I looked all around everywhere for him and could not find him. When finally he saw me freaking out he came out laughing from behind this Big Elephant Plant in our front yard. I made sure he knew that that was not very funny for mommy and that it sure scared mommy! Randy made us laugh so hard when young when he dressed up like Gandhi who was in the movie.
Valerie...first born and everyone thought she was the most beautiful baby ever and of course we certainly agreed. As Valerie got older she was a wonderful helper with all the children. A helper she was and still to this day she helps alot of people. She is a giver as she has always been all her life. She to this day goes out of her way to help her neighbor or anyone in need, She is always willing to go out of her way to help others in any way she can.
Angie...Angie was our little tomboy, she could handle the boys , could fight as well as any boy. she had a temper and so it took a little work at times to settle her down. Even so we have always been proud of her and all her accomplishments. 😟
Todd...Todd was always so loving as a young child.. Becoming a teenager is always a little tough and like most teenagers they want to fit in. He had friends and sometimes they were a bigger infurence on him and didn't bring out the best in him. But for sure this guy as a young child won my heart. I would read to him at bedtime and always got a hug before he fell asleep. He wanted to make me so happy and he did and we were so proud when this young man decided to serve the Lord by going on a mission. His heart turned to the Lord , in time he lost that feeling but we know one day his heart will turn back to the Savior.
Leslie.... If ever there was a gal who outwardly showed her love to her mom it was Leslie. She gave me hugs without much reason. Only one of all the kids that freely gave hugs . I have to say she gave me the lots of hugs.. She wanted to do what was right always...even as a teenager she made us proud because of her choices!!
Stacey....she was my helper and heaven knows I needed help. She wanted to keep the home tidy and clean. She was proud when she knew she was loved and appreciated and she made good choices but again the teen years were hard as they all fight for freedom to make their own choices!
Jenny... My Jen was heaven sent and glad she was born to be my last child in my older years. Has her when I was 40 but Wow she has given us so much happiness with her funny tricks and ability to make us all laugh. We love TH
