A New Year

My quilting group just resumed our meetings and we all were thrilled to be back together. It really is a fun break in the week to gab and sew with such fun gals. Our theme this year is: Finish it, dangit! Very appropriate.

Our family had a fabulous holiday and we are richly blessed.

By the way, my granddaughters finished their Christmas projects! I'll post pictures soon. They asked me not to post them at the time, as one of the mom's zoomed in on the project and was guessing! (The Fab Five all had a good time laughing about that one!) Their projects turned out to be a real work of art for each of them.)

{They were Christmas pillows with embroidery work and patchwork.} They are growing up so quickly, I treasure the time we spend together.

Bree has decided on a Major this week. She will receive an AA in Interior Design and a BA in Business Communications. Whew! Two years into school and it is all coming together.

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 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 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.
