Playtime is the best!

I LOVE playtime with the grands!

I love watching them play with each other!

My grands are just GRAND!!!

5 (Claire), 4 (Ashtyn), 3(Parker), 2 (Olivia), 1 (Rylee), and...

It's a beautiful baby boy!!!

Thomas is such a great blessing!

He looks so much like his handsome father.... but I think he has his Grandpa Luke's adorable ears!

I am so very blessed to be a grandmother!!!

A Grand Outing

So glad my grands have so much fun with their cousins!

All 5 in one place = one happy grandmother!

And we had a great time

being together...

seeing new things,

interacting with wildlife,

and just having fun.

I am so blessed!

5 (Claire), 4 (Ashtyn), 3 (Parker), 2 (Olivia), and Riley is 1!

Our Riley is one! And what a joyful one she is too!

And her sisters, parents, grandparents and everyone else still love her so very much!

Riley's favorite activity when I am on the vid phone is to walk back and forth on their couch... wish I had a video of it, but here's this one...

So blessed to have Riley in my life!

Summer - Short but Sweet

This summer is over (as far as I am now back to work... 😢). 

But at least I was able to spend some time with the littles which means it has been a great summer!

Baking,

building,

and, of course, reading!!!

Summer was definitely short and especially sweet!

She's 5 already!

She's such a smart, fun loving, happy, wonderful girl!

I am so blessed to be Claire's Grandma!

A Day At the Museum...

the Dinosaur Museum!

It was so much fun to spend time learning together with these girls.

Ashtyn especially loved asking questions and seeing and even touching some of the exhibits.

And, of course, the gardens with the replicas fascinated these two littles!

To top it off, their Grandpa Anderson helped put together this skeleton once upon a time...

It was a great day!
