FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 2007

They say that this is a bad luck day...a Friday and the 13th day of the month...How can they say that when the sun is shining and the sky is blue. I like Friday's no matter what... hehehe

The breeze is blowing softly, moving the trees heavy with blossoms. Ahhhh...

And I am stuck in the office, wanting to be outside in my work jeans and gloves, pulling weeds and getting to those pesky dandelions before they spread their bounty to the whole yard!!!

Oh well, tomorrow is another day and I might be able to get out into the yard and do some of that cool stuff...

These are my fruit trees this year. The tall apple got a big haircut, as did the short apple... The cherry didn't get any cuts this year. The apricot got a few cuts, but I will wait until fruit sets to view it again.

This is my dad's lilac bush and his bleeding hearts. When I move, these are the only 2 things I will want to move... Except of course for the iris that my grandpa created for my grandma, Zina's Dream.

My flowers and trees are important to me, not more than my grandbabies...but cool all the same.

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!!!
