Just Plain Grandma and Grandpa Fun

When I looked at these videos and pictures I realized that most of them were of Braydon. After I get finished with this blog, you will see (whenever I can get to it) another blog that is absolutely hilarious from Emma and Syd's birthday party. I am grateful for those in our family that blog so that I can see our other grandchildren doing fun and funny things. They make us laugh, and we enjoy every minute of it. Holli, thank you for putting such great pictures of Gabi on your blog. Enjoyment fills our souls when we see that smile of hers doing things when we are not able to be there. If any of you reading my blog haven't gone to Holli's blog, you have to go there and see the hilarious things that Gabi does.

I am grateful to Kim who places things on her blog that allow us to see what Kaylin, Maren, Jocie and Blake are doing. Soon we will be able to see for ourselves in May and then my blog will be filled with photos and videos of those four. If you notice, I don't blog about adults--only the little ones because they fill my heart with innocent love.

Maren used to blog a lot; but after being on her feet at work all day and with the sciatic problems she has, we miss out on her blog because she can't sit down for long periods of time. So I guess I am the proxy blogger for her right now. But, come July, I know her blog will be full of fun photos of our new little granddaughter.

Hopefully soon, Marshall and Shannon will post pictures from their trip to Vegas and Utah. Yeah, they were able to see the four Vegas grandchildren before we were able to. So, you two--get to blogging so we can see those great kids. Now, you need to go to their blog and see the pictures of Sylar, our "other grandchild"? OK, so he is a dog, but you have to understand in this family the dogs are all cousins.

Next we need to get Meigan on the blog board. She is a great photographer and needs to share photos of our 3 new grandchildren, Syd, Mark and Drake. She is a facebook person but maybe we can convert her to bloggerism!

So, here are the recent videos and pictures of things that keep us sane in this crazy and confused world.

This is Marshall's, whoops, I mean my dog Hatcher.
Look at those pathetic eyes. That's the look he gives me when
we are eating something and he doesn't get any.
Oh the many faces of Gabi! Doesn't everybody
sit on the dining room table? You can get
closer to Papa's conversation that way. And did I
tell you Batman is living with us now!
Oh, papa must have said something very
profound. Look at Gabi's face.
And Papa learns how to play the DSi.

But Papa loves hugs the best and wishes he
received many more from all of his
little ones.

Now Papa learns how to play Lego Batman
on the Wii. Or maybe he doesn't. You decide.

I don't think Papa gets this Wii thing.

OK, Blake, when we get to your house you
need to teach Papa how to play the Wii. He
just doesn't get it.

Pouring "magical" dirt on the bushes that
didn't make it very well. OK, so it is Miracle
Gro--I told a Grandma's lie and told Braydon
the little white specs in the dirt are magical.
We were trying to make a Cheez-its commercial.
But, they didn't think it went well with the dirt.

I don't know why Braydon is talking in
a squeaky voice. Maybe I left him out
in the sun too long.

I turned on the sprinkler to water the plants
that were new. Every little boy's dream--
playing in the water.

I thought Braydon would end up slapping
himself in the face. You'll see...

Papa, (the Big Tease, right Little (Maren) Tease?)
cannot resist teasing. Ask any of the grandkids.

Earlier in the day, Braydon had asked me to
fix his scooter. Well, weakling me was not
able to get the handle up. So he had to wait
till Papa got home. Strong man!!!

Hayes is more like a big brother to Braydon
than a cousin. Hayes was able to find Pokemon
cartoons on the internet. Now he is Braydon's hero.

You have to put your hands on your face just like Hayes.

The three "Frozen Minute Maid Lemonade"
triplets, Emma, Hayes and Braydon.
You see that look on Emma's face? Yep,
gotcha Emma and I put this picture on my blog!!

Soon I will post pictures from Emma and Syd's birthday party. Each invited one girl from church. Wait until you see the blog. I never knew girls were quiet when adults were around and then never stopped talking once they were in the "Spa" room by themselves. I'll explain soon.
