the month we celebrated my two sisters birthday's!
7-28 Kay
7-30 Connie
Connie, Barb and Kay
that is how it has always been.....
from the time I can remember!
My heart has been touched because of these two sisters in my life...... we held hands as children; grew up to women hood and started our own families but we never lost sight of our bonds as sisters. In turn our older children played together; celebrated birthdays together and holidays......
when miles came between us the bond was never lost!

who are these women?......
MY SISTERS
growing up I have fond memories of times with them.....
fun times together.
we lived in a generation that was simple and not filled with the concerns we
now have today.
It was summer nights and waiting for it to get dark so we could
play with all the neighborhood those fun games.
Hide and Seek
Rover red rover
Ghosts.......
red light/green light
Mother may I
red light/green light
Mother may I
catching lightening bugs and putting them in a jar.....
there were trips to the library and bringing those books home
then laying on a blanket and reading as
summer was in full speed!
riding bikes
going to Lake Bracken and spending time at my grandparents summer home
homemade ice cream
boat rides
homemade ice cream
boat rides
Christmas Eve and sleeping together in excitement of
Christmas morning.....
memories that will never be taken from me no matter what.....
sometimes I can close my eyes and it seems like yesterday
other times it seems like a lifetime ago!
We would talk about growing up and our
future lives!
close your eyes and it
happened
before we knew it.....
It was fun for a time to
have all three of us close by
as we experienced life
as adults
mothers
sisters
friends
Kay changed her title to Mother.....
and then Patrick grew up
KAY......
has had more than her share of trials
but you would never know it
if you spend any amount of time with her.
I will tell only ONE story here....
that just transpired a few weeks ago....
She was going to a new doctor and
when the doctor walked in
she said:
"I reviewed your records
before I came in and I was
not expecting to see someone like you
I expected a much older; frail and sickly person"
It is amazing what Kay
has; does and can do
with her limitations
that she ignores
and goes on.....
I admire her and
use her as
an example that
"I CAN DO HARD THINGS"
Now this next picture is NOT flattering
and I am sure I will be in trouble with putting it in this blog post
BUT:
to me it sums Kay up
This was taken during the wedding reception
of Eric & Irene
It was in the Nauvoo Temple so Kay hosted all of our family
during the time we were there....
she cooked wonderful food for us; helped us set up for the reception
and never
complained
I just happened to catch this picture when she did not see me
she is willing to sacrifice all...
for others!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAY!
Connie:
“If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?”
Yes, Connie has left this earth and there are
only two of us now.....but
it has not changed the dynamics of
CONNIE, BARB, & KAY
Happy Birthday Connie!
I hope you can take a moment out of
your busy work in heaven
and look down on us knowing
how much we love
and miss you
and look forward to the day we
can all sit down together once
again and laugh together
work together
and hopefully get to play a little together
Eight plus is enough to fill my heart with LOVE!
