Whose bike is this?


Wes bought a bike. He was in an accident and totaled his truck. When Andy saw the bike, he thought it would be one big enough for him to ride, He took it for a spin in the culdasac. He hasn't been on a bike since..........well......dirt was invented.
It is a nice sturdy bike. With gas prices the way they are, Wes will get some good use out of it.
Maybe Andy too.

Grandma and the Babies

Sara likes to "feed" the babies. She likes grandma to hold and rock her, while she holds and rocks her babies. She sings the cutest songs to them. If Sara is feeding a baby, grandma has to do the same. She shoves the bottle in the dolls mouth, makes slurping sounds, and then smiles and says ..."mmmm tasty". She thinks she can do everything Nora can do. Last night she announced that she had to go "Potty" after Nora did. I finally figured out that she ment, to wash her hands in the sink, after climbing up the step ladder. Fun times ahead.

Here she is Miss.........

Nora arrived for a Nora and Grandma day all dressed up. She had a crystal necklace that used to be her great grandma Roseners, the gold lamae bow and belt from Emily's old Sunshine Generation costume. Her Cinderella wand, all she was missing was her princess slippers. There was even a hair band that day. What an imagination.

Gardening Update

The peas really grew! After insisting that she
didn't like peas. Nora ate all of them except 2.
She let Sara and Grandma each have one.
She thinks they are tasty!!
Now if we can get her to leave them on the vine
and fully mature before she eats them.

Fun Times with Nora



Nora and Grandpa went to Cooking Class, Grandpa forgot the camera. But they had fun. They made pudding cupcakes, the marshmellow flower......not so tasty.

They also made a mothers day picture frame for Holly. Andy wasn't familiar with the way that paint pens were supposed to work (the tip was not supposed to stay in the cap) so there was a lot of paint on this project, thank goodness it had a week to dry before mothers day.
Nora also got to spend the night, and have a bath, by herself (without sara) in the big tub, and sleep in her Elmo bed. We had so much fun, can't wait to do it again!

Here to day and gone tomorrow.




I was having an "interesting day" when I answered the door, one Friday afternoon, to a very nice young man who was doing tree triming. Andy and I had talked about getting rid of the trees whose roots are causing problems with our grass and walkway. So......they came back the next day and removed our trees. I am going to miss the shade. It was a fun experience to watch. Now to repair the sprinkling system that went nuts when the trees were removed. We don't have a clue as to what we want to do to relandscape the yard. We are open for ideas.

Saras Adventures With Grandpa






We recently realized that when Nora and Sara are here together, Nora is Grandpas girl, and Sara sticks with me. Andy really hadn't had a chance to do anything one on one with Sara. So one Saturday recently they had a chance. So grandpa went to Lowes and bought some plants so they could play in the dirt together. Sara didn't like the dirt, but she liked the ceramic bunnies and dogs we have in the garden area. Fun times!
