The Mose Daddy's Convention 2011- Part 1

First off, I am beyond blessed and overly grateful for the opportunity my parents gave my brothers and I to be able to spend some quality time at the farm. I stop sometimes to think how blessed, lucky and grateful I am to have the parents that I have. How did my mom KNOW that I NEEDED this TRIP NOW?? Pure inspiration and LOVE. That's how. Originally I was going to go with my mom in the Spring time because my parents weren't sure how Ollie would be at this time in his life with all his acid re-flux and such. Long story short, my mom and I talked about a week before all the boys were going to fly out to the farm. I let her know how excited I was for them to go, and she felt bad about not having me go. She called later in the day to tell me she had a ticket to fly down and watch my boys and I had a ticket to fly out with the boys! I am SO HAPPY I decided to go! I would regret it so much if I hadn't gone. My mom is amazing. I can't say enough good things about her! I ached for her and dad to be with us on the farm many times, but knew she was so happy for all of her kids to be there together. She is such a selfless lady. Someone I hope to be like someday.

I was the first to meet my brothers in St. Louis at the airport. Sandy and her son Scott picked us up in the suburban and it took about 45 mins. for all the boys to load the luggage. That in and of itself was pretty funny. We drove to Steak N' Shake and enjoyed our food over laughter and excitement for what was to come. All six of us were crammed in the back. It was pretty crazy to see us all in the same car. But off we headed to the farm...
