It's was a Beautiful American Day!!!!

It's America

By Rodney Atkins

Drivin' down the street today

Saw the sign for lemonade

They were the cutest kids

I've seen in this front yard

As they handed me my glass

Smiled and thinkin' to myself

Man what a picture perfect postcard this would make

Of America

It's a high school prom, It's a springstein song, It's a ride in a cheverlet, It's a man on the moon, And fireflies in June, Kids sellin lemonade, It's cities and farms, And open arms. One nation under God, It's America

I love this song so very much! It touches my heart each and every time I hear it, and it makes me proud that I live in this great Country, America! We had went home for a funeral last week on Friday (feb13). It was filled with lots of emotions, and I was proud to see a torn apart family come together for the funeral without any troubles or ill words being spoke. One of my dear friends rode with me, so that the girls and I didn't have to travel so far back and forth alone. So we spent a lot of time talking, laughing, singing, and playing silly games in the car. After the funeral and before we headed home, we knew that it was time for us to let the kids run off some energy! So of course we took them to the park, our favorite park back home. They played so hard! With our trip to the park and stories of the good ole days, it all took me to this great song, and I knew I needed to share it with you all. Our Country is in some really hard times, and so many people have forgotten that it's still the GREATEST Nation on Earth! We really do have so much to be thankful for. It's little things, that we tend to take for granit. We have a Military that is on a volunteer bases, you serve this Country, because you want! So remember that and be sure to say Thank you to all our wonderful Military Men and Women! It's a place where our kids and run free and play! It's a place we can be a family, walk side by side, it's a place we get to teach the Good News, All the Word of God! It's not always perfect, just like the song says, but it one awsome place!!! I'm Proud to be American! God Bless our One Nation Under God!

Here's a few pictures of the kiddos playing in the fire truck at the park! They love it! It's so fun to pretend to drive the truck, to play with all the knobs and gadgets and I tell you, Lil E is always so proud when she is pretending to spray the hose to put out a fire!

Here she is hard at work or play!!!

Lil K was playing in the race car as it bounced! She liked it a lot!

Then here it is, Lil E holding a lady bug she caught! Awww, sweet signs of spring!

Lil K didn't care about the toys, for her, this trip was all about the rocks. She loved picking them up and pilling them on the slide and such.

But look, it wasn't only Lil K having fun in the rocks! Lil E and her friend were having so much fun cooking in the rocks too.

Here's a shot of Lil E coming down the slide. It's always a blast.

Then after lots of play time, it was time to head home. We made a few stops on our way home, and one being at Lil E's favorite place, Texas Motor Speedway! She loves to stop and look at the track, and we went in and got Daddy's valentines.

So as our day came to an end, it was time for sweet dreams! But I couldn't help but think, Only In America, could our day have been possible! And this made me so proud!

It was Valentine's and my lil sweeties were dressed for the day! They are both their Daddy and Mine best Lil Valentine's ever! They are our everything! I'm so thankful for them! What a blessing they are! They make each and every day even greater!
