We Won!

I entered two pictures in a Discovery Science Center Photo Contest. This one in the category of "Grandpa and Me" I told the story of how Grandpa puts the girls on his shoulders and then goes over to the machine that tells you how tall you are. At first the girls wouldn't sit up straight, and they would only get to 6'10" (Grandpa is 6'4") but this last time it was 7'4". I took this picture. We went to the bubble exhibit and show they have each year, it is our favorite. Nora had so much fun after the show, trying to do the tricks that the bubbleologist did, and I loved this picture. So I entered it into the contest in the category of favorite exhibit.

Guess which picture won! We have 4 tickets to the Santa Ana Zoo. I didn't tell Nora I entered her picture, I didn't want her to be disappointed if we didn't win. Nora, when you have guessed I will share which picture won!

My beautiful Granddaughters

I share my granddaughters with Patti, who I have known for years. She is the girls Nana, and came recently from Utah for a visit. She is an amazing photographer, and has caught each of them showing their personalities. Sorry Patti, I had to "borrow" the pictures from your blog. This is our Mia, full of spunk and love. She gives great hugs, and her smile .... well lets just say it melts Grandmas heart. She is also a red head, with the personality that goes with it.

Our Sara isn't little any more. She is so grown up. Sara's favorite thing to do with me is read and cuddle. She looks so cute in her new glasses, and is always the first to give me a hug.

This one is growing up so fast. She is starting first grade, I can hardly believe it. She reads so well. It is fun to introduce her to new books. It is always fun to have a special Nora, Grandma day. Last time we made mini muffins, it was Nora's idea to put Chocolate Chips in them. They were yummy.

Now if Patti had only gone to visit Brad and Katie, I would have had a great picture of Kyle too.
