“In-laws” have a bad rap. In fact, I went to Pinterest and Google and searched “in-law quotes” and could not find one GOOD quote. They were all negative. So, I’m here to put some positivity out there and say that GREAT in-laws do exist in this world! Let me tell you about two of them.
Kevin and Shirley Egly (my in-laws) are as good as they get! When people talk negatively about their in-laws, I for one, can’t even comprehend it. And two, have nothing but good things to say about mine.
Let me brag on them a little bit!
First of all – the raised Ted Egly! I could just stop there…but I won’t…
They love their grandsons and me so well. They encourage us and help whenever possible.
They watch (aka: wrangle/chase/spoil) all four of our boys so that Ted and I can get away! OHHH SOOO NICE!
While we are gone and when we get back, they help with lots of stuff around the house. Kevin completes household projects and Shirley helps me clean and organize.
Not only does Papa do yard work, he teaches our sons how to do it too!
They also play lots of “UNO!” I love that all four #eglyboys can all play now! (Luke is on “my” team)
We do take breaks to eat and explore. For instance, I had to take Kevin and Shirley out to experience King Chef’s Diner.
Voted best breakfast in Colorado. It’s that good!
After breakfast at King Chef’s, we hiked at Red Rock Canyon Open Space.
Every time I go to Red Rock, I spot different types of wildlife. Once, a deer crossed the trail right in front of me. On this visit, we discovered a big Hawk’s nest with baby hawks inside.
Luke didn’t want to hike, he wanted me to hold him. Since this will probably be the last summer I can “hold” one of my babies while we hike, I held him for the first half of the hike. Then we crossed paths with a kind lady and her adorable dog. Luke wanted to walk alongside the dog and followed him through the second half of the hike and all the way to the parking lot. (This made me want a dog.)
Thank you, Little Dog Lucy, for giving Luke something to chase while we hiked!
While the Egly’s were in town, I also had to take them to Hurts Donuts. Papa loves donuts, and so do his grandsons.
I’m grateful for such amazing in-laws! They set the standard high. I hope that I have the same relationship with my daughters-in-law one day!
Kevin and Shirley, I love you and am grateful for you!
#twinning or Raggedy Anne and Andy?! Me and my father-in-law
Can anyone else share a good “in-law” story! Please leave a comment!
Also, if you have a GOOD quote about in-laws, share that with me as well. I still haven’t found one!

We love you guys with all our hearts, we enjoy doing life with you all, and watching the boys grow into responsible young men!
Thank you dad!!!
I also had great in laws. But the have passed and now are enjoying eternity with the Lord. My mother in law was so sweet and loved me and my kids like I was one of her own. My father in law cracked me up all the time. Unfortunately my mother in law only got to know 2 of my 4 kids and they where very young when they passed. But I always had a wonderful relationship with them and they always most of all loved the LORD and prayed for there kids and grandkids.
You are blessed to have shirley and Kevin they treated all of Ted's friend like we where there own. Love the EGLY'S
Thanks so much for sharing that Tammy! I'm so glad you got to know Kevin and Shirley and I wish I could have gotten to know your in-laws!
