I got a text from Kacey this morning with the following pictures:

I am grateful for grandchildren willing to serve.

 A good looking group

Summer and Emmy look like they are sisters.

Working hard!

I like Tanner's boots

Molly, is that a weed or a plant?

Cute smiles and cute girls

I can't even tell you how happy these pictures made me.  I thought it was Kacey's idea but she said it was all Jared.  Thank you Jared, this was a great idea!
