HAIR

I don't know what got into two of my girls. They both had the
"itch" to change their hair. If anyone knows me, I have a hard
time with change, especially with hair. Thank heavens, they
look beautiful either way.

Before

After-- Bangs and darker brown. With her friend Sara,

whose hair she curled up.

Melissa--before.

Orange you glad.....?

Wow, we did it! We finally got an orange off of our orange tree.

It's only taken about 15 years. (Don't quote me on that). But

today I rescued it from the ground, which was sopping wet from

all the rain, brought it inside, cut it up and ate it! I'm happy

to report that it was delicious. I was a little nervous, because

we don't water it regularly, so i didn't know if the orange

would be dry, but it wasn't. AND....there are more where

it came from. Now maybe I should try an avocado tree. = )

Curly Hair

So......Grace has said that no one has hair like hers. Well, she

is not quite on the money on that one. I had hair like hers

when I was a young girl, except mine wasn't that blonde.

And Andrea has hair similar to hers, but even more curly.

Here's to beautiful curly hair.

Time with Grandpa

Have some fun with Sterling

The special donut Grandpa bought Stella

At Cabella's

I admit it, I am so fortunate to have a husband who brings

home the bacon. And while he is bringing home the bacon,

I get to go and visit with my family, my kids and my grandkids.

So while we were in Utah, and Melissa was there with her

children, I was glad that my hubby was there and got to have

some time with his grandkids. And it was so wonderful

that he got to be there when Michelle had her baby. He has

been talking about having grandkids, since our kids were little.

Now that we have a webcam, I am hoping that he will get to

see them even more, without having to leave home. Mel often

times will offer to go watch Grace and Sam so that Anna and

Tyler can have a night out. He is just the best Grandpa!

Birthday Man

Grace and Anna, Sam and Tyler

After our trip to Utah, we got home just in time to celebrate

a birthday with our son Tyler. We went to one of our

fave's, Lucilles barbecue. After the dinner they invited

us to their place for cake and ice cream. Grace always

looks forward to this part of the birthday. After the cake

and ice cream, Tyler put some music on, and we had

some major dance moves going on. Sam and Grace

have some awesome "moves".

Well Tyler, another year older and wiser too. Happy

Birthday...to YOU!
