Spring at Gramma's House

This is the best time in the world...
The kids are so excited to 'go outside' that they don't need new stuff to play on...
even the sand is fine... and the broken swing set... they are outside and having fun.

The weather has warmed up enough for the kids to play out at our house...

The other day Tanner and Ady tried to ride the jeep... it wasn't charged.

So we put it on the charger and waited for a day.

First Momma gives it a try...

Then Tanner comes out to help...

Matthew is pushing them faster... oops...a bit to fast brother... wait up!!! I'm just little...

Matthew thought pushing was rather fun...Then he wanted Ady to move over so her could drive. Tanner didn't give up his seat behind the wheel... He is the oldest and it does have some perks...

Ady is not happy 'owie...owie' get out... get out

I just had a quick vision of Matthew pushing Tanner off the jeep and taking over the wheel...

I hope that was not visionary... hehe

Well, that was the latest in the life of this Gramma...

Playing 'HORSE'

They barely got the base filled with water before a game started.

Jessica, Kirk and Seth played 'horse'...

I am not sure who the winner was... the competition was pretty stiff...

By the time they were done playing it was pitch dark and colder than cold.

Those Arizonians were frozen stiff...

But Seth didn't want to stop...

Kirk and Seth set up the 'hoop'...

While Kirk was here the first of March, he and Seth set up a basketball hoop in the back yard... They got a late start and by the time they finished up the wind was blowing and the weather turned cooler.

Kirk's Visit

Kirk, Jessica and Dylan came to Utah to visit Lexi and Seth... Of course me... hehe They flew in Sunday morning...and they don't fly out until Thursday noonish...

Dylan sure has grown up a ton. He talks up a storm....My name is Grammy... He has had a blast in the back yard. He loves Spiderman and Batman. In fact he thinks he is a superhero... He is Super... but is not all powerful like in the movies!!! Sissy and Mommy sittin' with Spiderman...















We all went to Matthew Strong's 1st birthday party. Audree came too. John and Audree got to play from noon to 5 pm, then we went to the party and John went to a friends...




Tonight Sissy Lexi made manicotti, and french bread. Yummy to all our tummies...Brother Seth woke up Dyllie so he could eat 'food' and he went right back to bed... must have worn him out.

Time to run, got kiddos coming over in just a few minutes while the mama's and the papa's go out together to dinner....

Oh fun!!!

Update from other blog...

I finally took a few minutes to write and update our life.

Mike changed jobs in November and now he commutes to Provo and American Fork.I drive by myself into town...boohoo...

Mark got a new t.v. in his room. It's smaller but has a better picture. The old t.v. was pretty green and blurry...

Al and Missy are doing well. He is working nights and makes Mark breakfast and lunch...and naps during the day.

Seth broke his arm in Dec. sledding up at Deidre's... didn't even cry...He will finally get to play at his first basketball game tonight... He missed the whole season. Alexis is now 12... dance is coming along very well. We will attend her spring recital. Isabelle is growing, eating and starting to babble tons. She is regaining her hair and is a very sweet little baby.

Tanner has done well in basketball. He has learned to shoot, pass, steal, and dribble. Of course he is only 5 so he has time to learn. Adylin is a pistol... Loves her baby Matthew until he gets in her way. Then she wants to get away as fast as she can.Matthew is almost walking. He loves to eat. With only 2 teeth he eats plenty.

Audree will soon be a big sister. Em is due in about 6 weeks. Audree can't wait.

Dylan will be here in March to visit his sissy and brudder. They fly in March 4 and fly out March 8. I have already gotten kites and bug catchers. The kids shall have a great time out of doors.

Rusty is 2 and starting to fill out his frame. He is still fairly healthy and is such a great pup to come home to. I am short pictures, but will fill in as we are starting to warm up. His pet, Katie, got fixed so she couldn't bring home any babies. Rusty was very careful playing with Katie after her surgery... He is just so perfect (except his breath...ugh).
