What I Like Most About my Girls

These are the things that I like most about my girls. They love tradition, each other, their family, and most important they love their nephew(s).

Starting Friday all the girls were off so that let me off of a day of watching my young charges for the day. I could have planned a quiet day of doing nothing or spend the day with them. I chose to spend my day off with the girls and the boys. I try not to miss out on too many of these days because I know one day the boys will be grown and have lives of their own. What a great day and thanks to Jenny and Liz for capturing these moments.

Saturday started with Tara and I waiting for everyone getting here. Jada and I had spent some quality time together. She gets a little jealous being the only female and my time spent with the boys. When we thought that we got the time wrong in comes everyone with 5 minutes of each other. We knew that Liz and Dan had to get back to the July 4th preparations so Cy had the steaks ready by 3:05. We all started right away. What great food we had!

About every 20 minutes or so Zane would ask Sasha (not sure if Zane and Henry both call Tricia that but I love it) that we wanted to "go to mobie and popporn?" Jenny got on line about that 5th time he said this. So off Tricia, Joe, Tara, Jenny, Ryan, Zach, Zane, and Henry went to the movies. They came back more wound up than when they left. About an hour after getting home we all headed out to Apache Junction Parks and Recreation's Fireworks held at Davis Field at AJHS. Parks and Recreation outdid themselves. What an amazing fireworks display! Heard Mesa didn't have fireworks but our little town managed to still keep tradition alive.

Girls you will never regret the love you have for your nephew(s). Liz is "yis" to Henry and tries real hard to pay back all the sneaking we did to her two boys. Tricia and Tara are "Auntie" to all three and Jenny is "G" to Zane and Jenny to Zach. My girls make sure none of the boys feel the least bit slighted for attention. I am lucky to have girls that want to do things with their sisters and family.

Liz, you cannot believe how proud I am of your involvement with your job. Today, I noticed that you could have left the clean up crew on their own and Rich would make sure his football boys did what needed to be done. You were right there with them working along side of them and wanting to make this worth their community service provided them with my tacos and beans. It doesn't go unnoticed that you do your job above and beyond what you should do as a supervisor. Your dad has always said that people never mind working for someone that works just as hard as they do or more. I am so proud of the job you do for P & R.

All my girls you have made Dad and I proud of how you turned out. Each of you work hard and never have been lazy workers. You are amazing and well respected in your jobs because you are not afraid to work hard. You are successful because you know how to work and never have to be told what needs to be done. Oh, yeah, that doesn't include when you were young and your rooms were a mess. It was easier to just close your door.

Happy 4th Of July weekend and thank you all for more memories of our times together. They are priceless and thankfully captured on film.

Aunties, thank you for taking care of your nephews and making sure they are loved. They are so lucky to be a part of you and as Zach always said, "fam-i-ly!"

I love all four of you so much.

Mom
