This Cracked Me Up!

Yesterday I walked into my daughters bedroom looking for her. Instead of finding the daughter I was looking for I found another daughter and two granddaughters ages 19 yrs., 5 yrs. and 17 months. All three were laying on her bed, each one totally zoned out on electronic devices. It just cracked me up! I laughed so hard. I decided I needed to share it. I guess technology knows no age limit.

St. Patricks, Texas Friends, Indoor Football, ETC.

The mint brownies and rainbow with the gold below it were gifts my girls got on St. Patrick's Day. We all wore green and ate green food, and watched a cute St. Patrick's Day movie that was on the Hallmark Channel. Alyse went to a St. Patrick's party that some dear friends from Texas who were in town were having. She loved seeing and visiting with them all!

On St. Patrick's Day night we attended the indoor football game of the handsome young man below. He has traded in his basket ball for a football once again. We loved watching #42!

He's in the center of the green team below. The tallest one.

Alyse has had fun going to the Aquarium and Planetarium. She was nice enough to take a couple of her nieces and nephews last week. That made tending easy for me! Thanks Alyse.

The cute girl in the center of the picture below has just returned from her mission. We all enjoyed her mission report so much. She is a dear friend of Alyse's and her family used to live across the street from us. It was so good to see her and her whole family!

Happy Birthday Andrew!

It is hard to believe but the cute little guy below is all grown up and a husband and dad now. Time is so interesting it just flies by. Andrew celebrated another birthday last week. The family all gathered on Sunday to celebrate his birthday with him. We had a fun party with a St. Patricks day theme.

Below is me with my baby boy.

Happy Birthday Andrew we all wish you a very happy, prosperous year!

Lunch With an Old Friend

Julie and I met back in St. Louis while our husbands were attending dental school together. We became good friends and have remained friends over many years. She just celebrated a birthday and we had fun celebrating together over lunch. We haven't taken a picture together in forever and thought it was time to do that. I am grateful to have her for a friend.

Cousin Love and Soccer

Warren is back to playing indoor soccer. We were able to attend his game on Sat. and enjoyed watching him play! He is a good little player. Below he gives his cousin Kaitlyn a hug at half time.

Westi and Kaitie had their own little soccer game going on, on the sidelines. They were so cute!

Warren made 3 or 4 goals I lost count. Good job!
The two below love each other so much they are always excited to see each other and give each other a hug and kiss. They are so fun to watch.

They bring a lot of joy to my life!

Valentines and # 5

As hard as it is to believe this little cutie has just turned 5 years old. She had her first friend birthday party at the Rec Center. (I thought I was done giving birthday parties after Annie's surprise sweet sixteen. But with granddaughters living in the home I guess I'm starting over.)Below is Eliza with her birthday cupcakes. Below are Eliza with some of her friends from preschool and church.

After pizza and cupcakes, and opening presents it was time to swim! Everyone had such a good time we couldn't get them out of the pool when it was time to go home.

Below and above are two of Eliza's cousins.

Here's the birthday girl.

April with one of Eliza's little sisters.

On Eliza's real birthday we had a little family party for her. Fun fun.

At Preschool they celebrated her birthday too!

Last Sunday all the family came to celebrate Eliza's birthday.

Happy birthday Eliza we all wish you a happy year!

Eliza had fun at her preschool Valentines party.

Brianna had fun at hers too. One of the things she made were the awesome heart glasses she is wearing.

On Valentines Annie surprised us all with yummy heart shaped sugar cookies from Normandy. They were delicious! Thanks Annie!

My sweetheart took all the girls at our house to an early dinner. When we got home we found six single roses three red and three pink leading up to our front porch where a big bouquet of flowers were waiting. At first we thought they were from Kim...

but it turned out they were from Alyse's boyfriend. He gave a single rose to all the girls and the bouquet was for Alyse.

Alyse and Annie's visiting teacher came by and brought them both a sweet treat of chocolate covered strawberries with a fun dipping sauce. They shared and it was yummy!

I dropped by to give out valentines to all my grandchildren.

When I gave cute Warren his for him and his little brother who was sleeping, he wanted to give me a valentine too. He looked in his bag from preschool and gave me a colorful pencil. I thought that was so cute of him!

These two below had had fun Valentine parties at school and were happy to get another Valentine from there grandma.

Even teenagers like getting Valentines.

We all liked getting Valentines!

Below is April and her little girls with the sock monkeys she got them.

Happy Valentines everyone!
