I want a pony (horse) at my next birthday party!

Thanks Elle for having such a great Birthday party!

"Your Welcome"

Yahoooo!

This IS great fun!

Look I'm a cowgirl!

great goblons it's flyin' carrots

When is it my turn, sis?

Bibity bobity BOO!

Time to open presents, Elle was so cute. After opening each gift she would say

"Oh, my Mickey Mouse", or "OH, my purple slippers.."
One gift was in a shoe box, and she joyfully exclaimed

"Oh, My Box"

She is a good example of gratitude...
I am sooooo grateful for all my many blessings, simple and grand!

what giving of my life force can give in return

Grandma Darlene and Holly gave blood at the Pumpkin patch blood drive, in return we got coupons for pony rides, bounce house fun and pumpkins. We all had a great time!

Yayhoo!

This was the 1st pony rides for the girls.

not all pumpkins are created equal....

sharing or negotiating?

Teagie found her favorite pumpkins

cousins

their 1st time in a bounce house

just a little bounce and that was enough for them

Charlotte's 1st haircut

Charlotte got her 1st haircut today. Yes, Holly said I could, but please email or text her and let her know how cute it is... before she comes home and sees it....
she sat very still for Grandma


I don't think she knew what was going on... she was too busy watching the Wiggles.

Isn't she soooooooooooo cute!

and she knows it

That natural curl is here to stay. Holly was afraid it would be cut off and then be gone.

I put the hair in a ziplock bag and handed it to her,

she walked right over to the garbage and dropped it in,

I guess she is not going to be a saver.

Now and Then - 33 years!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? 33 YEARS OF MARRIAGE

I Love you Bob! Happy Anniversary!

A Great week at DisneyWorld

Charlotte and Elle are great friends, I am so blessed to have them near me....We had a swimmingly good time at the hotel pools and water slides...
Even Teagan seemed to enjoy herself.

Charlotte is probably telling Mickey how much she loves her Grandma!

and somehow the news got to Goofy... I love being a grandma,

Thanks girls for a great week, full of fun and memories!

Lake Powell is amazing. Did you know that Lake Powell has
more shoreline than the entire coast of California.
