Delightful Hour

I just spent the most delightful hour on the phone with my oldest Granddaughter. I have been sick, so haven't seen the grand kids for over a week, and I am going through major withdrawal! She had commented on my blog and wanted to make sure I had seen it. She had commented on Sam's family blog, and wanted to make sure I had seen that one. I heard all about school, and Mia knocking down the things they were playing with, I heard about the new friends she is making. She told me about a nearby park with a slide she has to hang on as she goes down. I am smiling, it was the best hour of the week. Grandma loves you too! Can't wait for the next Nora Grandma day!

Bee's

On Thursday, we saw a few bees out front of the house, on Friday there were a few more. So Andy decided to try a Wasp Killer, he arced it perfectly into the hollow column and out came hundreds of angry bees. A quick call to an exterminator, brought a guy with a full bee suit and a lot of foam. No pictures of him in action. We stayed in the house with the doors and windows shut tight!

Fun times

For the 3 people who look at this blog you have probably been missing pictures

of my beautiful grandchildren. So here they are.

I wish this picture had sound. Mia was laughing hysterically at a puppet show Nora was doing. She is crawling. Grandma has to vacuum and sweep again.

This is our family picture. Nora drew it.

Can you pick out Grandma and Grandpa? We are in the center!

Also in the picture are Holly and Sam and Nora and Sara, and assorted animals at the bottom. Nora has a story to go with every picture Kyle gets to come and play with Grandma when there is a baby sitter problem.

He is so cute. All the clutter in the picture behind him has now got to go.

Both he and Mia are crawling,

Kyle heads for the cords and outlets, Mia picks up every thing on the floor.

These two little stinkers conspired with grandpa to make a trip to the Donut store if they would sleep in until it was light outside. The bribe worked and Grandma took a long soak in the tub!
I told Andy, just get 3 donuts......for an accountant the man just can't count!

This is what makes me happy. I am so blessed.

Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday Mom. We miss you.

Awwww

Today I had a Dr's apointment not to far from Holly's house. We met and I got Sara alone for a couple of hours. As we were driving to my house I asked her what she wanted to do for our special Grandma and Sara time. "Oh grammie, I just want to read and cuddle". We had so much fun!

Happy Birthday Sara

There is nothing like having a birthday when you turn 3 years old. Everything is amazing and exciting. Sara planned her birthday party, picked out the menu....Mac and Cheese, Cheese Pizza, and Rice and Cheese.....do you see a theme here......and her parents call her mouse. She had a party at the park with crafts, food, lunch and a pinata! The family gathered, and her "Fairy Godparents" the Johnson's joined us. The bottom picture is Trisha after the girls had played beauty parlor, it looked funnier in real life.....Trisha always looks great! So Happy Birthday Sweet Sara, we love you!

Can you hear me sigh!

We attempted, and attempted is the operative word here.......to get a family picture taken this Christmas. We set a time, we planned, we even smiled. This one was the best one.....I don't want to replace the one at the top of this blog, but as you can see we have added a few people to our family! I should publish all of them. They are pretty funny, we are not a family that does great pictures.
How come it is me that is hiding this time. Oh well, maybe when Wes and Dana get married we can try again.
