Jumping the ditch

On the way home from school there are so many things to see and do.  This ditch has many draws.  The water of course, then there were the 2 ducks.

Is there anything better than jumping a ditch?

 

After watching Brayden and Carley jump, Abe new it was his turn and was ready to go!!!!!    But Nicole didn't think it was the best idea.

Happy Kids

Katy loves pictures!!  Any time I try to take her picture she poses.  She is always so happy.  When her mom made he this flower crown she knew she was very special and wanted her picture taken. What a little cutie.  The next little picture she had just put on her makeup by herself and was so excited.  So she did her famous little pose so I could take her picture.                                                                                          

Isaac was so happy because he go a blueberry smoothie.  I keep telling his mom that he likes to wear it so much more than drinking it.  He is such a silly little boy.

Curls and Corn

         
























Abe is the cutest little boy!!  I love his little curls and he loves his "cob on the corn"!!  Tried and tried to explain it was corn on the cob, and he would look at me and say, "I know that's what I said".  So it was easier to go along with him then make him sad.

Curls

When at Cole's she put Carly's hair in little twists on her head. When they were taken out her hair was so pretty in soft waves.



Abe has such cute little curls. Scott wants his hair cut, but then he will loose all those adorable curls. So Cole just can't come to cutting his hair yet. I told him I wanted to get a picture of him so he took this pose all by himself. He was so cute.

Catching up Sort of

Guess it has been a while since I posted. A lot has been going on around here and it has kept me very busy sort of. I went to Boise to be with Cole and the kids. That was fun. Went to Braydens Kindergarten Graduation. He was so cute. My grandchildren are growing up way to fast. Abe isn't even two yet and he is trying to potty train himself. It is so funny. Curt and I went to Salt Lake for a few days for our 30th wedding anniversery. We had a wonderful time and didn't want to come back. But then reality set in and home we came. I still can't believe that it has been thirty years. Sure doesn't seem that long so I guess that is a good sign that things are still going good.

Fun with the grandkids

Being a grandma is such a fun stage in life. The
little grandkids are great. Sometimes they are
a challenge, but always sweet. The house and
my nerves take a hit, but the rewards way out
measure the setbacks.

What a mess! My bamboo pot is Isaac's favorite

place to play. He just loves dirt. Playing in it

and eating it. Silly boy.

Cole came early for Christmas and the kids

thought helping clean the kitchen looked like

tons of fun.

Just before Thanksgiving I rode over to Boise

with one of my friends. Cole was coming home

for the holiday so I had a ride home. I love this

picture. Little Abe is right there doing every

thing Brayden and Carly are doing. He is so

cute and doesn't let anything get by him.

Here Carly and Brayden were play fighting and

Abe was right there to get into the action. The

kids are so fun to watch.

Update

This summer was a very busy one and it went so fast it seemed like it was over before it really got started. This picture is one I took while I was at Wood Badge in Island Park. I really liked this little area.



This is Isaac. He is growing so fast. He is a cute and happy little boy. He loves being out side any time he can get out there. Ususally it is with the help of the dog door.



Here is Katelyn. She is a very good little girl. She is very happy and loves you to just be with her. She loves to talk and to discover new things. One of the very favorite things she loves to do is pick strawberries. Now that it is colder and the berries are gone she still goes out to see if there are any there.

Shopping

Aren't these the cutest toes ever. Baby toes are so sweet. Abe always crosses his ankles when he is just hanging out.



Carly and Brayden thought it was great walking through the tires when we were at Costco. So yes of course I had to get pictures



In the parking lot at Costco

silly kids

Scott was getting ready to go to a weekend with the National Guard and Brayden put on his vest and hat. He was so cute and thought he was so cool. A little scarry for me. Hope he never has to fit into these for real.



Here is Carly just after she had to have her front tooth pulled. She did so good. I went to Boise because she said she would be able to have it pulled if I was there to be with her. She was a little scared, but did wonderful. Sad she has to go through so much and not very old.



Here is little Abe just being cute. And I don't feel I am partial.

Little Joys

Just thought I would share a few of my special joys
