corn on the cob

This is the first Ear of Corn that Kabrie can remember eating... 

With teeth... even tho she only has top teeth and is really only juicing it,  she is loving the corn and the cob.  She chawed on this cob for a good half hour.  Of course when she was done, she cleared her plate to the floor by swiping everything back and forth off of the tray... TaDa... the tray is clean... 

The floor looks like a tornado with food tossed all over.  We wish Rusty was a better sweeper, but he is picky... so we have to sweep instead.  Which doesn't always happen until after due to running after a 16 month old kiddo.  

Kiana informed me that corn was her favorite food.  Then she ate a bunch of chips... so go figure... She loves junk food the best.  hehe




Most kids love corn on the cob... Yum. Yum.  
We love our cob holders, "Bed, Bath and Beyond" have the best, they fit together and are lovely and large and go in the dishwasher and last for a long, long time.  Yeah!!!  


Summer is a coming.... Outside and gardens and play and pools... so we will see what summer brings... 

Playing At Holly's

We got to play at Holly's starting on Tuesday, April, 24th until April 29th, while Holly and Davis were gone to Orlando, Fl.  It was some work and some play for them.

It was mostly work and some play for me...

Haha...

Mike came and helped out on Thursday, but 5 kiddo's no matter how you spell it is work... Ask any mother!!!

The trick is to find some fun no matter how much work is involved... I didn't learn that trick when my kids were young.  I didn't do to poorly with my grandkids, but I still am not great at it... sigh... guess it's just hard for me...

Holly did great setting it all up for me tho... She had someone come in and clean the house on Tuesday... Wonderful!!!  The laundry was caught up!!! Hurrah!!!  The meals were set up and ready to go... Hurrah!!!  It was like a calendar... went like clockwork...

Bennett wet his bed every night the little pill... he is going thru a 'faze'... He earned $2 for doing his p... on the potty... but couldn't concentrate on the pee pee part too... stinker!!!

The weather poured rain one night... and the kids left their shoes out that night... the one night I didn't get their shoes in!!!  sigh

I didn't panic... they each have more than one pair of shoes, but Bennett couldn't find his match... I got out and dug out his boots and he was in heaven!!! Loves his winter boots...

Warren had so much fun playing in the sandbox full of sand and water!!  The bath afterwards was also a lot of fun too...

I didn't get one picture.

I was busy chasing one in one door and one out the other door.  Good thing there was only 3 doors... I only lost Bennett once and Warren once!!!  I felt pretty good for that...

SIGH...  and they were only lost for a few minutes at that... and found in the house or yard... and safe at that too.

All and all... we had nothing broken on the kids or the house... except a picture frame that I will gladly replace... We attended a church carnival dinner that was fun and we ate cotton candy and played games too...

I have to thank Mike for his help... he even cleaned up the kitchen one day while I put the rest of the house together so the parents didn't come home to a place that was totaled... Ya know ... grandma's and grandpa's don't enforce the chores as well as the parents do...

We did do scriptures and prayers and homework...

I would do it again... it was a fun bonding time with the grandkids... they need it and we need it...

We love our 
grandkids 
you know... 

April Showers Bring May Flowers...

Monday was a long day....

After a very nice Easter Sunday... with family...

We had dinner with Louise and John and all... the kids had an Egg Hunt and in some of the eggs was "Bunny Bucks"... used to spend at the Easter Store... They really had a great time hunting for eggs and finding the bucks and shopping at the store.  Once again the store owners over bought... hehehe and we had to many items and to much candy, chocolate.  Can you believe it???

The food was fantastic...  The company was great... The birthday wishes for Louise... cuter than cute.

Today is Thursday...

We have had some rain, to wash away the dirt on our week.  The bad stuff in the air, and in our minds... To give us something clean to breathe and think about.  Our lawns and flowers got a spring shower... after breaking a high record of 76 degrees by hitting 84.... YUCK!!!

So many of my plant starts have died due to the heat... You get a greenhouse to keep things warm and they die cuz the heat kills them... WOW... hahaha  Oh well it's a start and I'm learning... slowly and it's all new to me to...

No smiles... still frowns... but working on it...  I did laugh out loud at something and it felt good... but overall still sad inside.

I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true.  I know that Alexis is in a wonderful place.  She is happy and trying to make things right for her and her family.

We had a great few days with Seth... He is trying hard to put things together also.  Earth life isn't easy you know and we all get to work hard at keeping the good
