GETTING THE AUTUMN FEVER!

Okay, so I know we don't want summer to be over with, but these days sure are bringing on autumn fever. . . maybe fall fever sounds better! I think I'm ready to be done with summer! Summer 2008 was the best one yet!!! Two new grandbabies born in June and July, Carson Paul & Felicity Kendall!!! Birthdays and anniversaries, actually all 4 children's anniversaries, April through June!!!! Amazing. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve all this goodness!! God has so richly blessed us and our family!! We love you all!!!

LITTLE MERMAIDS & MERMANS!!!

Yesterday, Thursday I got to go swimming with Malia & Dawson!! Why had a blast! The two of them are like fish! I sat in the little pool and they just splashed and splashed me!! I threw little toys and they "dove" for them. This morning I'm sunburned, go figure! Some day Felicity can go with us :-) Can you believe she's 2 weeks old on Saturday?

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Gramma is babysitting for Carson today. He's been sleeping the whole day :-) I have time to work on my blog, thanks Carson!!!

REAGHANN'S 10TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

It was surely an event to remember!! Spiders and grandchildren!! One spider, 14 grandchildren!! It was so hilarious trying to get all 14 grandchildren to cooperate! The oldest did well and the youngest did very well, the middle children struggled, but hey, they're kids, what can you expect? To get all 14 sitting at one time and smiling, not gonna happen! We did however have a lot of laughs and took lots of pictures! Surely one will turn out even if we have to crop out some adults :-) It was so sweet having our two youngest grandbabies at their first cousins birthday party!! The 14 grandchildren and all the noise sure didn't deter the ugly little spider though! She kept busy all night. Imagine if someone would have run into that huge web!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

GRAMMA'S LATEST SWEETIES!!

I have to admit that I've been slow on this blogging thing! My OLDEST grandson shamed me by saying I needed to post something about our 2 youngest grandchildren! So here it is:

WOW ~ what an overwhelming feeling having a new grandson AND a new granddaughter!!! Not from the same families of course. Aaron & Jenni have handsome Carson Paul and Joshua & Abigail have beautiful Felicity Kendall!! They were born 6 weeks apart. Now that makes FOURTEEN grandchildren! Who would have ever guessed? I remember years ago when another grandmother told me she had 16 grandchildren! At that time I had ONLY 5 :-) I was in awe. I said, "now THAT would be really incredible!!!" And now I'm almost there!! hehehe Can you imagine what the holidays are going to be like? I can't wait!! There is no greater joy than to see your children's families growing. . . in leaps and bounds!!!! I think that's in the Bible somewhere!!!!!
