Aspen Grove is next week. Wahoo! I've spent some of my Saturday sorting through my projects. John's watching a football game with a friend and Jeff.I will try and download a few pictures from our recent trip to Washington DC. John earned the National Western Region Energy Manager of the Year Award and the state flew him there for a conference. It was quite an honor, although he would never say it. I tagged along and I learned a few new facts ,while visiting there. Like did you know that Washington DC (really Virginia) was the South!!! Because I view it as the North, I hadn't thought about it being the South during the war.Also, I thought the SMithonian was 1 place not a bunch....I also didn't realize how small the Oval office is or the rooms in the West Wing. We did have a ball. John was like a kid in a candy store. We rode the metro everywhere and the city bus system; we walked for zillions of miles; we toured at night and day, and we hunkered down exhausted every evening of our 9 day trip. Needless to say, I took quite a few pictures.... Don't worry. I'll only throw a few up.Have a great week.

Natural athletic abilities are in their Harrington genes!

ok. My goal is to get all of my grandkids pictures up on this blog with a little about their personality. I then will update new pictures in their place when enlightening events take place. Stay tuned. Still under construction (depending on my free time.)

Jason came even after being up all night at work! The Bloods won!

Zach T. is our baseball/football player!

Zach T. is our baseball/football player!
I love the way he takes control of his game. My favorite part is when he raises his hand to let the ump know he's not ready. Then whack! Grand slam...

Gunner W. climbing the red rocks in St. George
Gunner is the adventurous boy. Climbing to nosebleed heights, diving off cliffs, tackling football players, and taking out soccer dudes are just a few of his feats!

Jaidyn H. our hip hop girl!

Jaidyn H. our hip hop girl!
Not only is Jaidyn our hip hop girl, but she is also the swimmer in the family--even faster than her older cousins! She is filled with imagination. Give her a room with books, paper, office supplies and tape and she will have everything labeled and ready to play office. She and Naomi are currently taking knitting lessons with me on Thursdays- so stay tuned for a picture of their finished wash cloths!

Drake A - funny face pose with cousin Isaac.
Drake is the middle brother in the family. He loves anything that has to do with sports and is a natural athlete. He always takes time to give everyone hugs and kisses. He is as sweet on the inside as he looks in this picture. Perfect manners and willing to help with anything...What a cutie.

Allie T. in her irish jig program!

Allie T. in her irish jig program!
Allie is full of surprises. The youngest of four she loves arts and crafts, learning homemaking skills, performing in plays and loves to have a good time. She is bright and talented and is always smiling. Can't wait to see what she tackles next.

Isaac W. the Fisherman.

Isaac W. the Fisherman.
Isaac loves fishing, playing sports and is very curious. Right now he is putting together a book of 'what ifs.' What if the sky was really yellow? What if grandpas were the smartest men around? What if this fish had wings and could fly away? He is smart, curious and always listening to others. And, what a memory. This week he had his tonsils out and is trying to eat as much ice cream as he can. Get well soon. We love you.

Kennedy A. girl!

Kennedy A. girl!
Kennedy has 3 brothers...Sassy and sweet, long blonde, curly hair, big blue eyes and a personality that allows her to keep up with her 3 brothers. She loves singing and met Hannah Montana personally when her uncle, who works with Hannah, took her back stage. And, do you know that it was the 'real hannah montana' not the fake one! Always a delight.

Jax A. the sweetie pie! (I can write this, as he is only 3.)

Jax A. the sweetie pie! (I can write this, as he is only 3.)
Jax is the youngest of 4, but you wouldn't know it. He is athletic, loves to wrestle and has the most charming personality. He is shy when you first meet him, but warms up quickly and is your best bud. All the cousins like to treat him as a baby, but he doesn't put up with it. He expects to be treated just like the big kids. Broken teeth, bruises and skinned knees earn him the reputation he enjoys.
