Memorial Day weekend

We welcomed our first guest of the season to the "Edwards bed and breakfast" for Memorial Day weekend. Kristen, Jared and Chloe brought Kristen's sister Lindsey, husband Justin and adorable baby Logan down to enjoy the beach. Glad the weather cooperated. Take a look at Chloe's darling beach hat. I think it is just the cutest ever!

Love that sand between our toes

Sound of your voice

I love the sound of familiar voices. I just think we sometimes forget how good the sound of someone's voice feels. The sound of kindness in their voice, or comfort or laughter or excitement. I don't have to look down at my caller id b/c I know that voice. It is the one that is making me smile on the other end of the phone because they took the time to call. It is the one that wanted to share something special with me or needed my opinion or perhaps just wanted to see if I was having a good day. I am a great fan of blogs and facebook and love reading news from family and friends but it will never replace the sound of your voice. Thank you for taking the time to call me.

Mother's Day blessings

Our home was filled with all our children and grandchildren for Mother's day weekend. We had sleeping quarters in every corner! We enjoyed the beach and spending time together. Sunday we all made it to church on time and filled up a couple of pews. After church we had our big dinner and then I announced that whatever males in the house loved their mothers and wives would be doing the dishes.

We females are so glad we are so loved! Take a look...

They did such a grand job!

Right down to a sparkle and shine!

I love Mother, she loves me, we are a happy family.

Mother dear I love you so, your happy smiling face...

I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for giving me the opportunity to be the mother to my 5 special spirits. They fill my heart and soul beyond measure.
I love you...my sweet children!
Thank you for becoming all that I ever hoped for.

Chloe on the move

Chloe took her crawling to a new level and loved the steps. What is it about steps that children find so fascinating? Of course, Out went my baby gate real fast!!

Chloe was enjoying her one trip on the steps before Grammy blocked them off!

Rocking with Grandaddy

Her Daddy's old chair is a perfect fit now.

Oops, now what do I do?

Chloe loved all the room to explore. Guess if you are too little to sit on top of the stool you can just take the bottom!

Seemed the busy weekend came and left way too fast. How come the work week can't zip by like that? (Jared had a good idea that the work and weekend should have equal time.) We are glad the Edwards bed and breakfast is already starting to get booked and family and friends will be coming down to play. Call and get your reservation soon:)

High Flying Fish

David and I went to the beach with the youth for Wed. night joint activity. Everyone was to bring their own kite and have fun flying them in the sky. Our day had been filled with every hour scheduled so we squeezed in a few minutes between appointments to go by the closest store which happen to be Bi-lo and pick up a kite to take to the beach. Our choices were limited but we decided the fishy one would be a good one for the beach. (It was your original kite with the cute little tail. ) It turned out we picked a good one or maybe David is a pro at kite flying!

He quickly put it together and had it flying up up and way high! His continued to be the highest kite of the evening! (The breezy beach air was cold so I was glad I brought my jacket along. )David was fine and did not hesitate to put his barefeet right in the sand.

Suming up Spring Break

Spring break was so refreshing. I loved seeing all the beautiful flowers at the temple. (Sure hope they are that pretty in July when Jacob and Brittany get married.)

Always such a happy experience by everyone.

We had fun dying our eggs. (Somehow our egg dye didn't work exactly right- the dye seemed to rub right off some of the eggs! I said I needed to do a little research on my egg dye next year)

We really liked the egg wraps though that helped make some of our eggs look better.

Jean even had the table all festive for our Easter Lunch.The warm spring sunshine and air (minus all the pollen) was so nice. I can now count down the days until summer break!

Nice surprise

I was so happy today to have Will come home for a night. He was really doing a good deed and bringing something from Columbia to his Dad but any reason to come home is good with me. I loved getting to fix him his favorite breakfast. ( Oh, I did give David a little too!) It was nice to have him at church with us and we enjoyed dinner today. Hopefully next time he can stay longer and we can enjoy the beautiful beach weather.

Anyone for Grits and bacon?

Come on down and your bed and breakfast will be waiting for you!
