Grandchildren!!

We were not able to attend our Joshua's Graduation from Basic Training in the Air Force, but we were kept up to speed with messages and pictures from Staci which we really appreciate!! We are so proud of our Joshua and his accomplishments with the Air Force so far!! He has done very well and will now be going on for more training at Egland Air Force Base in Florida and we wish him the best of luck in all he does with his new adventure in the Air Force!!

We were able to attend Aiden and Chase's Soccer Game at 9:00am Saturday, April 8, 2010, they did a great job on their team!! It is fun to watch their games!! Then we went to Luke's Flag Football games at 10:00 and 11:00 and that Luke is a fast boy!! He is a great football player, he is able to get those Flags so easily!! Then we were at 2 Soccer games, yes, this was ALL in the same day!! Playing Soccer these 2 games were: Luke, Laura, Aiden, Chase and Adalee, we had so much fun watching them, they were all really great and did really well. Chase, Aiden and Luke were able to score some goals, Lillyan and Laura did really well, they might not have scored a goal but they were hustling around the field like crazy and tried really hard to score a goal!! It is so much fun to watch our Grandchildren playing Sports and I can't imagine not being able to go and watch them!! We also go to Dennis and Betsy's Softball games...they are very good at hitting the ball, catching the ball and being fun to watch!! Dennis is good at getting Home Runs and we love going to their games also!! Wish we could be around our other Grandkids and kids to watch them at their activities that they do, and live closer to all of them that live in a land, far, far away!!
Sorry I am not very good at this blogging thing...it is probably boring but I just am not up with technology in changing the lay outs and stuff, don't know how to put music in here either...I will try to make it more interesting...wish me luck!!

My Nephew, Jesse!!

I was in Wyoming all last week and my Sister, Betty isn't doing very well, healthwise! Very sad!

While I was there, my Sister, Jeannie, her Grandson, Jesse and I were going to some stores and everytime Jesse would say: "I want...I want...I want...". We went to Lander one day and had his Mother with us and we went to a restaurant to eat! Jeannie told Tina: "I have a new name for Jesse...I want, I want cuz everytime we go into a store he wants something and he says I want, I want..." and Jesse immediatly said: "yeah...didn't get...didn't get"!!

We were also going to our other Sister, Kays to see her 'Critter Garden', lots of animal statues. On the way, Jesse said: " I wonder if she has a Rascal?" I said: "Jesse, what is a Rascal?" He didn't answer me, so I repeated it..."Jesse, what is a Rascal?" He said: "Just because that is my favorite doesn't mean I have to know what it is"!! lol lol He is a riot!! Art Linkletter hit the nail on the head when he said: "Kids say the darndest things!!" later...love ya!!

Trip to Friendswood, Texas

Dennis and I were able to go to Friendswood, Texas with Cindi, Karam, Aiden and Chase to attend Cooper's Baptism! We had a wonderful time with them and the Baptism was awesome!! Cooper is such a wonderful 8 year old and we are very blessed to have him in our lives!! We got to be there for a Birthday celebration for him and he had a Jumping Castle with water running in it and the kids had a great time and that night some of the adults had fun in the Castle!! We went to Galveston and went on a Ferry to an Island and had fun on the Ferry, we got to see Dolphins swimming and we had a great time!! Then we got to go put our feet in the ocean for a few minutes before we had to go take Jessica to work!! We always have an AWESOME time when we go to Friendswood to see Dee Dee, Todd,Jordyn, Elli and Cooper, Amber, Jimmy and Jessica!! It was very hot and humid there but we still enjoyed being with our family that we don't get to see very often!! Thanks, Cindi and Karam for allowing us to go with you to TX!!

My trip in Wyoming!

My sister, Jeannie and I and her Grandson, Jesse 6 years old, were going shopping and went into more than one store and he was ALWAYS saying? "I want" this and "I want that"...Then, Jeannie, Jesse, Tina(his Mom) and I were at a restaurant and Jeannie was telling Tina that he had a new name: "I WANT" and she told her why...and without hesitation at all, Jesse said: "didn't get...didn't get"...we were laughing so hard, it was really funny!! My sister, Betty isn't doing all that well, but she did get out of the hospital and looks better...she still can't walk though, they never have decided why!! Bye til later!!

Sleepovers at Grandma's House!!

Well, we are having another 'sleepover' at Grandma's house tonight...Madison, Aiden and Chase!! They had a sleepover last night also!! We watch a movie then it is off to bed!! They sleep in the living room and tonight there was a 'small' problem over a little blue pillow! Maddi asked for it first and Aiden asked for it also! Aiden did not want to go to bed without the little blue pillow!! We have 2 of them but could only find one! After looking for the pillow, I asked Aiden if he would settle for another pillow...he didn't want another pillow!! So I saw a blanket that he liked and I folded it and said: "How about this for a pillow, Aiden?" He smiled and said: "Oh sure, that would be great, thanks Grandma"...laid right down and 'that was that'!! Everyone was happy!!! WHEW!!! And little did they know...Grandma was the happiest!!! lol lol 'When Grandma is happy...everyone is happy!!!' lol lol till next time...love you all!!
