"Get out of jail free"

Logan : Mom can we do fireworks today?
Mom: No buddy, not today.
Logan: Why?
Mom: Because we would get in trouble.
Justin: Mom and Dad would get arrested.
Mom: (laugh)
Logan: But mom, don't you have a "Get out of jail free" card????
Mom: (laugh louder) I don't have a "Get out of jail free" card.
Logan: yes you do, I remember I saw you get one and you had one once.
Mom: (laugh)Logan, we only have "Get out of Jail free" cards when we play our games, but they don't REALLY work. LOL!
Logan: Ohhhhh!

KIDS!

America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee!

We decided to celebrate our 4th of July holiday by attending the Stadium of Fire this year. We went with My parents and Kristen and Klay. It was fun being together, but I was feeling really bad that we weren't going to be with the kids to celebrate, but thanks to Aunt Mel, they didn't even notice we were gone. After a little BBQ at her house She took them to Memorial Hill in Midway to enjoy the fireworks(I still need to get the pictures). They had alot of fun being with there cousins.
This is the 3rd time I've been to this event and have enjoyed it each time. I love the patriotic atmosphere. I love the reminder of how blessed I really am to live in the beautiful country. I KNOW that God has truly shed his grace on this land. I alway get so emotional when the Star Spangeled Banner is being sung but it always hits the hardest when it says "and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there." I love this country and the freedoms we are blessed with because of all those who have been and still are fighting for it! THANK YOU!

What's in a name?

Joking around today I called Derrick by his full name, DERRICK DELAUN HENDRICKSON! Justin started laughing and said "thats dads full name"? So then we started talking about names and why we all have the names we have. So Derrick asked the boys "well what do you think Grandpa H.'s name really is"?
Logan : Um, Grandpa H!
Derrick: No, it's Delaun Hendrickson. That's why my middle name is Delaun, after my dad and Justin is Justin Derrick Hendrickson like me.
Logan (with his little wheels spin in his head trying to grasp it all): Ohhhhh, so Grandpa H is really, Mow-de-lawn Hendrickson.

We couldn't stop laughing after that one. I'm pretty sure it's not going to be Grandpa H. anymore, it just might be Grandpa Mow-de-lawn. :)

Logan we sure love you and the funny things you say!
