Family Moment's

Remember (smiling) when:
You, me, the children then
Being out on the farm.

We were out tumbling in the yard, 
We had all tumbled so much
The fun we all had
We giggled so hard over by the barn.
 
The laughter and cheers going on,
The chicken was chasing us
The kids were in a disparity
The bumps and bruises everywhere
As the day rushed, we continued through.

We had the best time,
Playing and listening to songs
Out in the barn
Stacked with bales of hay.

The night sky comes rolling kindly in, 
It's nature's time to turn down the leaves
We're watching the moon and the stars in the skies
We were looking for bright shooting stars
Shooting across the skies, so exceedingly high.

R.I.P. Shannon Darnell, 
Love you both!
