I am sure that all Grandma’s have meaningful moment’s with their
grandchildren. If for some reason, you don’t, then I strongly encourage
you to make them happen. Make ever moment count with them. I want to
share with you some of my meaningful moments with my grandson’s.

I can’t even tell you how much I love the moments when they wrap
their little arms around my neck and give me a great big hug. There is a
very little time in their life, when they feel like this is okay to
do. You need to take advantage of every one of these little hugs when
you can. They love to snuggle up until they turn about two, and then if
you are lucky you can catch one once in awhile. Then a couple of years
later, they will hug again, but only because they know they should, not
because they really want to. I am not sure yet when the time will come
again when they will love to hug their Grandma, but I will take what I
can get until that time.

I love when they love to have sleep overs. I know that I probably
spoil them a bit, and perhaps even bribe them to have sleep overs, but
that’s okay, I am allowed to do that. I figured I earned that right
because I raised their parents. Those times when we stay up late
watching movies, eat popcorn or other goodies, and sleep in, are lots of
fun. I look forward to more of these. These are meaningful moments
that hopefully they will remember as they grow up as good times. I can't wait until I can take them camping with us. You know the Grandma and Grandpa camping trips. I look forward to that special time together, just us and nature, exploring and experiencing new things. Creating special memories.

When we all get together and the house is rockin’ and kids are
playing, we are making memories. Small moments in the grand scheme of
things, but many meaningful moments make up the plethora of memories we
keep with us.
More meaningful moments: d is for ddddrrrama (grandma) haha Xander
you are so funny, bonfires with Wyatt, sleep overs with Wyatt, Jax building line ups of cars, smiles
and coo’s from Logan, ,

playing at the park, walks in Kin Coulee, wiener
roasts at Kin Coulee, dressing up as super heroes, birthday parties,
kisses on the cheek (my cheek), falling asleep with the little guys,
reading stories and telling it wrong so they correct me, eating
strawberries at Grandpa’s farm and stuffing our pockets, playing in my creek, playing in my sandbox, playing with the rocks, eating raspberries, swinging in the big tree, oh we have fun!
For all you Grandma’s out there, make as many of these little
meaningful moments count as you can. It will hopefully create bonds
that will last forever. Wyatt asked once, if one of my grandkids
was 18 and being a problem, would I still let them come in my home any
time? I said absolutely, my door will never be closed to my grandkids,

and has never been closed to my own kids. There will always be an open door policy for
all of my kids and grandchildren. There always has been. Nothing can
change that. Just because they might make some dumb choices, doesn’t
mean we still can’t love each other and make more meaningful moments
count. We all make dumb choices sometimes, we get through it, and move on.
Make those moments count.
