Grandpa bought a bubble wand and took the kids out to show them... they think Grandpa is silly and funny. They have him wrapped around their little fingers... they can do no wrong! Paul is still amazed we're going to have 6 grandchildren very soon... Scott and Molly just found out they're having another baby boy! Babies falling out of the sky! How lucky are we?

Cute little Emily is so feminine and loves her little pink bear... brings it over and immediately finds a doll bed at Grandma's house to tuck her into and then she's happy. She loves nurturing all Grandma's dolls and especially loves making and remaking the doll beds. Also is very into the doll house and loves rearranging the furniture.

Aiden's big Honey Bee Hunt

Aiden has been very interested in bugs lately, especially after receiving a bug habitat for his birthday. This shows Emily watching (from a reasonable distance) as Aiden captures his first honey-bee.... not just a "bee" but a honey-bee! He was so excited to show his daddy. He let the bee go after about an hour. He opened the lid and then ran like crazy.

Cute Grandkids (again)

Is there anything cuter than a little granddaughter taking a tubby at Grandma's house? Maddie was the perfect little houseguest! Maddie, you're a doll!

Maddie loves to get into the cupboard under the sink and "hide". She just fits in the cupboard under the bathroom sink but I got a kick out of seeing her try to get into the kitchen cupboard which is a real tight squeeze due to the pots and pans which live there. She thought she was pretty funny as she hid in the cupboard... she's sooooooo cute~~~

Hiking in St. George

On a recent short trip to St. George Laura, Maddie, Grandma and Grandpa took a hike in Snow Canyon which is a state park in Utah about 15 minutes from Laura and Shawn's home. Grandpa wore a baby carrier on his back and Maddie took advantage of a free ride. As he was singing Aidelweiss (sp?) she fell asleep on the trail and her head bobbed around for about 30 minutes. It was a fun hike... Shawn had to work but we told him all about it! Beautiful country!

Grandma's Babies (all but Mason)

Aiden, Emily and Maddie were over for an early morning hot spa swim... so before we went in we had a photo shoot! Aiden hammed it up for the camera. This is my favorite pasttime... taking pictures with these darling grandkids!>

Celebrating again!

Michael just had his 33rd birthday and we had a little birthday dinner and the kids were into it! They sang happy birthday and helped blow out the candles and played the piano and partied to celebrate their Daddy! We had a ball and consider ourselves so lucky to have such a wonderful family. Happy Birthday Michael!
