His team has a group of great boys...the coach seems to really care about the boys.  He allows all to play.100_5485

 

 

Lexi, Mark, Poppie and I went to his game on Valentine's Day... We went to dinner and had the best time. 

 

100_5556 After the game was over, we got a snack and dropped the kids off at their home.

 

We didn't get home until after 10 p.m. ...but we would do it again if given the opportunity.  Hint, Hint,...

 

Our next jaunt will be to go to Alexis' dance review...coming up soon...I hope.  More pix to come after that... We love to support our grandkids as they try out new things and learn to enjoy doing different sports and adventures.

Cousins at Play in Utah!!

These boys played, and played and played.
They wanted to play video games, but that was a big NO from a momma. They tried to get the Rock Band out... no good. They were very disappointed. How can they get to know one another and play, if they are zoned into a video game... so the momma's banned those kind of games and they had to choose something else... They decided upon these blocks. PERFECT!!!


We got together at Holly's on Saturday to let the cousins play...
Tanner, Taye, and Kai.
Matthew and Adylin were around too, but they were the 'little' ones here...
and the big boys didn't want the babies to play.


They really had a great time.
The boys were so busy playing that they forgot to EAT!!!


They ran around and played until the momma's
and the gramma was sooooooo tired, we needed a nap...


The funny thing about the way they played was,

they talked, but played with their own color on their own space...

we girls were amazed by this.

So non girly :)

The Mexican Riveria... NOT!!!

THIS IS HOW WE SPENT OUR TIME WHILE MOM AND DAD WERE ON THE BIG SHIP ON THE OCEAN...


Rock Band Stars
Matthew
John
Tanner

Matthew the drummer


Rachael brought her friend John over to help me out. They were able to come 2 nights from 6 to around 8:30. This way I was able to check the laundry, get the dishes done, prep for dinner the next day.... breathe... and just enjoy.



Oh Gramma, what big eyes you have.
I hope these reading glasses don't hurt his eyes...

Of course when he got done, they needed a good washing...






Ady and Gramma are relaxing after dinner and before bed. I think we were trying to eat the red tiles on Bookworm... yum yum...

Audree Playing with Gramma

We get to have Audree come and have a sleep over every other Friday night.

Then we spend the next day, Saturday doing chores and other projects.

This is how we spent our weekend in January.






Making a craft project with foam and glue and glitter... Oh my!!


After a bit of art, then onto the dishes.





Take advantage of her love of helping (playing in water), because soon she will figure it that this isn't really fun, but a hated chore for the rest of her days !!!

But, shhh... don't tell her yet.... she still enjoys making bubbles and washing dishes at Gramma's house.


We were working in the basement getting things ready for door casings and baseboards.

We had an area in the furnace room that needed a bit of cutting. So who better than Gramma and Audree to do it while the 'guys' were doing other things.



We had to saw back and forth until the piece came off. It was really hard to cut.




This is the saw we used and the piece we cut off. It was just in the way of the dirt we were sweeping.

Then we got dressed and had to run some errands. We went shopping and then to visit my new friend, Phillip. He lives at Aunt Margaret's house. Rachael and her friend John took Phillip and I to McDonald's to eat and play. We did so well at listening that before we came back, we got an ice cream cone.... I really do have fun.

Time sure flies when we are having fun...

We went to the $ store and bought one thing and then time to go home to Daddy and Abi.

Goodbye Gramma!!!

Happy Valentine's Day to You!!!

I know I am late getting this blog updated.

Guess I finally have a few minutes to do so today.





This is what we woke up to this morning.

Seems this year we've have a few of these mornings....




Mike is out using his wonderful 2 stage snowblower.










I am not sure this is what he really thought when he decided to ride out the slump in houses.








Spring must be just around the corner...Right?


LET'S GO SWING... NOT!!




Our fence is 6 feet high with the middle brace coming in at about 3 feet.
Guess we won't be playing out agan for awhile.
Even poor Rusty has trouble finding a place shorter than he :) haha
