I have said on a few occasions, if your children turn out great you are happy they turned out that way in spite of all your mistakes, but if your grandchildren turn out great you can take the credit for having raised their mom or dad right.

Greetings! Several years ago when I was in college, I knew the baseball coach because we attended the same church. We always stopped to chat we when saw each other. One day, I was having difficulty with a class and he said something to me that I kind of hold as my life mantra. “You win some, you lose some, but you have to dress for them all!” Please enter me in your drawing. I appreciate it…..Thanks,Cindi

As a parent, we spend the first few years of our child’s life teaching them to walk and talk, and the next 20 years telling them to sit down and shut up.

Actually my favorite quote comes from my 2 year old Nicholas. I was getting him ready for daycare one morning and I started tickling him. He looked at me and smiled and said,” Stop it Mommy, you silly bom-bom!!!” Another great one from him would be the night we went to Texas Road House for dinner and we got this cute blonde waitress. He tipped his head, smiled, and said, ” Hey baby.” Then later we were playing with him and got him to say Hubba Hubba. So by the end of the night, he would say,” Hey baby, Hubba Hubba!” I found the perfect shirt for him, It says Ladies Man.
