Happy 80th Birthday Grandma!!

From as far back as I can remember my Grandma has always been an important part of my life. She would take care of Timmy and I after school when we were little. I can remember every Friday night we would go to Blue Bore(?) Cafeteria and eat dinner. When we were finished eating Timmy and I got to go down to Woolworth's and buy something special! If we were really good we would go to Baskin Robbins and get an ice cream. I shared many a Maple Walnut sundae with Grandma, what fun memories! We were always welcomed at their house anytime.... night or day. I remember I loved to go to her house and play, just being there made me feel so special! Today, my own kids love to go to their house to see she and my Grandpa. Happy 80th Birthday Grandma, I am so blessed to have you in my life, I love you with all my heart!

The most precious Grandma EVER!

* Harrison was outside playing

Ballgames, ballgames and more ballgames!

We had our opening day at the ballpark yesterday. Grant is playing machine pitch, Grayson is playing beginner machine pitch, and Greta is playing T-ball. Grayson's game was at 8:45 in the morning and it was sooo... cold! He was having so much fun I don't think he even noticed. He got a good hit, and enjoyed playing pitcher! Greta was next, and she had a ball! She was decked out with her pink glove, pink batting gloves, and a pink bat! She LOVES pink, granny and grandad even got her a pink bag to put it all in. She got several hits and thought she even hit a "home run"! Last but not least, Grant's game was at 1:00, he got several good hits, and his team won 24 to 2, it was awesome! He has an awesome coach, the kids really look up to him, and listen to his instruction well. They each have to learn a Bible verse every week, and if they know it they get a Ring pop after their game. Well...let me tell you Greta is all over that, she can't wait to learn her next verse!! Which leads me into the next fun topic... the concession stand! Grayson and Greta think they are at the ball field to eat their weight in snacks! They keep them hoppin' in the concession stand! We had a great time, and it turned out to be a very pretty day! If you ever need to find any of us on any given Saturday... we will be at the ballfield!

I am a blogger now!

Welcome to

The Harmon Blog

Welcome to my blog! I have been told many times that I need to create a blog, and I am finally taking the plunge!! I am 35 years old, I have been married to Kin for almost 11 years. We have three children, Grant age 9, Grayson age 7, and Greta age 4. This year has proven to be crazy due to the fact each one of my kids attend a different school, and so I literally spend my life in the car!

Grant is a third grader at Dunn Elementary, Grayson is a first grader at Meredith Dunn School, and Greta attends Harvey Browne Preschool 3 days a week. She will be in kindergarten next year at Dunn - WOW, I can not believe my baby is going to school next year! You hear people say all the time that life goes too quickly, nothing could be more true! It seems like only yesterday that Grant was born, and I turned around for what seemed like only a moment and... he is in the third grade!

The pictures I have posted were taken by my friend Monica, she is a high school friend, who happens to be a very talented photographer!!

I will go for now, and I will try to update tomorrow after Easter, have a blessed day, thanks for visiting!

My little blessings!

Grant Alexander, age 9

Grayson Thomas age 7

Greta Caroline, age 4.
