On a whim

Tradition
Afterwards we all head over to Grandpa Mecham's house for a pancake breakfast. My LB has so many cousins it is fun to catch up and watch our kids bond.
After pancakes we walk across the street to the ward building and play Volleyball.
Yum!
Here it the sad truth about the Mechams.
We just can't help ourselves it is the essence of summer time for us. Blanket in the backyard with watermelon and family memories.
Oh it TASTES like summer!

Hello To Honesty
The other day I was sitting on the couch watching a movie with Matthew, Spencer and Maggie. I looked over and noticed Spencer sitting all cute and cuddly at the end of the couch and I went and sat by him. I told him I wanted some "Mother Lovings" and he crawled into my lap and we started to cuddle.
After sometime I asked, "Why don't you cuddle me anymore?" His reply was, "You have Kendal to cuddle now." WHAT? Have I only been cuddling the BABY? I didn't mean for it to be like that. Well here is a great lesson to learn from the GREATEST 6 year old I know.
This boy is and has always been 100% devoted to the baby that took his mommy cuddles away. If only we all could love like this!
How could I have ever known that this was the way that he felt when he has so much love to overlook it and be the best big brother a Kendal could ever know.
Another Preschool Year Gone

Family Fun
Dear Maggie,
Daddy and I love you so much and we just can't believe that you are five. You have waited so long for this day because you just knew that after you turned five the sky was the limit. Well my dear sweet five year old princess it doesn't matter how old you are you have so much drive, such a sweet spirit and an awesome sense of fun that you will always find ways to "SOAR". Happy Birthday.
Love you always, Mom and Dad
