Rob and Amanda's Barbeque

Hello My Friends!!!My wife and I were invited to a Barbecue at our daughters new home. Rob, Mandi's husband, was the grill master!!! He had two grills going......It rained......and rained......and rained!!! He didn't care. The burgers turned out awesome......Rob is always there to help, and I know my daughter will always be safe from harm and put first in his life.
Amanda was busy preparing all the burgers and fixings for us......She made sure that all the little kids were set up with burgers.......and hot dogs. There were a lot of kids running around and my wife and I realized that we were getting old......Our stage of that is over and it is neat to see how our kids handle the stress of the little munchkins darting left to right, jumping, running, skipping and hopping!!!

Our little grandson Kasen is digging in to a plate full of yummy hot dogs........Got to have his ketchup with them.......What a big boy he is getting.......Using that spoon to eat his dogs.....



Jasmine is our other grandchild. She is full of energy and Rob better get ready to beat the boys away. I think she looks so much like Amanda. I luv it when we arrive to their place when she is around........She always stops what she is doing and runs to give us a big hug!!! She is a very smart and special girl...



My other daughter and her fiance are awaiting the big feast.....Tiffanie is 7 months pregnant with her first baby. She is going to have a little precious girl. I can't wait to hold her in my arms. Tiffanie is very caring, always thinking of others....Chris, has been a great companion to my daughter. He always puts Tiffanie first in his life. There is nothing that he wouldn't do for you........What a great combination of traits that their new baby will have.
I am so lucky to have these great guys in my life.......I know that my daughters will never go without, and they will always be cared for, and always thought of first. As a dad, it is really hard to see my daughters grow up........I remember when I was the one with the questions and help.....I can remember many times helping them fix their hair, reading stories, and taking them fishing. Now they have their own lives. They have turned out to be responsible, caring, strong, and independent.......What more can a dad ask for......... I am very proud of them.....And love them dearly.
Until next time.......God Bless!!!
