Just click on the heading and see what comes up. Cute clothes!

Big day

Today we wemt through the new athletic pavillion at Chapman and in the bottom picture Bill is pointing to the wall where
they will but our name. David was the one made this all possible and what a wonderful gift!
The door to enter is to the left of Bill in the picture. It is a beautiful facility.

Guess who came all the way from Co to visit? Heather and Cayden arrived on Friday the 20th and we have had such a good time. He is so cute and such a smart little boy. Of course he is our great grandson and all of them are very cute and very smart! He is only 14 months old but communicates quite well with his sign language (that his mommie and dad taught him). Things like please, thank you, all done, etc. They are leaving tomorrow morning and I will miss them. Matt, Annie, Jack and Max and Breanne, Rob, Emeri and Broxton all came for dinner last night. The kiddos had such fun playing with each other and I love the interaction with them all. Annie made good friends with Cayden and he just followed her and held her hand. This has been an exciting week with new baby Sadie and our visit with Heather and Cayden. Wonder what the rest of the wek has in store?????

workers

Forgot to put these pictures on for Chelsey. Joseph, Steven and Ben did a good job of weeding and cleaning the side yard. Now I can do something with it!!! Thanks guys

I loved this cookie jar so much I had to find one. Went to K-Mart where Steph got hers but they did not have one so tried Target and hooray they had one. Now to keep it full of cookies without eating them myself!

STAR BABY WRAP

I went to a baby shower and one of the grandmothers there had made this star shape baby wrap. I think mine is prettier but did think it was a great idea. You can put your baby in it and then wrap it up and it will go into the car seat without having to uncover the baby to strap her in. What do you think? Is it worth making more?
We have 4 babies coming and I can make one for each if you think it is practical. Just let me know! These are good for winter babies. Probably to war for summer ones????

the visiting 3 wisemen

This really is for Chelsey as these 3 young men are friends of hers that are on a road trip around the U S and they stopped here for a while before continuing on. This was Sunday night and we had tacos for dinner. Their sleeping acccomendations are on the deck and in the hammock. The weather has been great and so the nights are pleasant. Starting from the left
Ben (who got sick on Friday and we fed him pepto bismol and chicken soup. He did feel better on Sat. ) Joe and Steve. The have went to the beach on Sat and yesterday (Sunday ) they just hung out here. Today the were off again to the beach. They arrived Thurs night and I am not really sure when they will take off again. Nice young men and we have enjopyed them. Anyway Chelsey this gives you some idea where they are.

Pictures of my new front yard. Hopefully it will be much easier to take care of.
It will look better too when the plants have develped and grown to fill out
the empty spaces. Just thought I would blog it so that you could see the results!
I am loving it.

1 more step to new garden!

Some of my plants arrived yesterday. I am getting so excited and can't wait until it is all planted.
Chuck said that they would deliver some more today and
would plant on Friday. ThenI will have a pretty garden
again. In the meantime Bob is painting the wood on the porch and
I am going to do the little black desk and the window box.
Still have to get some flowers for the window box but
think I will just use geraniums. They see to do the best.
It should be done by the time Heather comes to visit next month!

Ella talking to Great Grammy on the phone. She told me she was eating peas and beans. Pretty cute don't you think. Cayden is just watching what is going on!

Another Birthday

Happy Birthday Amy
Have a great and blessed day celebrating with those
3 precious boys and my handsome, loving grandson.
Love you, Grammy and Grampy Parker

two birthdays today!

Today is Katy's birthday too. So Happy Birthday to you both. I love you very much
Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Well today was a big day. I had to say farewell to my lovely tree in the front yard. Its roots were going to crack our porch . The yard has become so hard to take care of that we hired a landscaper to come in and clean it out, replant it and do all of the things to soil that needed to be done to make the plants grow up healthy.
We saved some of the plants, in fact a pretty good percentage of them and he will replant them.
It will be nice when it is all done and I will post pictures when it is all planted.
It makes me so sad to see it right now because it has been so pretty.

It will be pretty again with plants that don't take so
much c are or water.

Bob's big blue truck is in the driveway.

Happy Birthday Breanne

Happy Birthday Breanne. Time has gone so fast and now you are going to be a mommie again.
Grampy and I are so happy for you and want to wish you the best birthday ever.
Love and Hugs
Grammy

I want to wish Dawn, Heather, Cashel, Amy,
Lauren Leslie, Stephanie, Katie, Ginger and Breanne all a very
Happy Mother's Day.
I am so blessed to be able

daughters and grandaughters.
Have a wonderful day.
I love you all,
Mom and Grammy
