Thanksgiving Blessings!

Yep, that's what it's all about. Although we missed Becca and Devon, Thanksgiving was wonderful, with way too much of food. All four of the grandkids spent some time with "Great Grandpa" They climbed all over him and his bed, watched his TV and ate his delicious mini Milky Ways. I am so thankful for my grandchildren and their Great Grandpa. I am blessed.

This is a sampling of the pies Jaimie made. She asked everyone what their favorite was and made one of each, even fresh strawberry for Nikki and fresh peach for Craig, my choice was banana cream. Thanks Jaimie, you are awesome! Oh and my hips thank you as well ;)

Our special visitors! Fun, Fun!

The second week of March was extra awesome. We had special visitors, their names are Jaimie, Tanner and Hanna. Jaimie drove to St George from Magna to attend her sisters wedding. It was a bonus for us because we got to take the kids off her hands. We popped popcorn, fed the ducks, went to the spinny park, went to McDonalds, blew bubbles, drew pretty pictures with sidewalk chalk, went shopping, watched movies, made cookies and bought ice cream cones. Wow that is alot to cram into a few days but it was so fun. Tanner and Hanna are so well behaved and polite. Scott and Jaimie are such wonderful parents, I'm so proud.

Tanner had a blast spinning Devon around and around, faster and faster!

Hanna was making us dinner from rocks and bubbles. Yum, doesn't it sound delicious? She was so serious about it. This girl is so dang smart and adorable.

This little girl had absolutely no fear when it came to the BIG slide, grandma however was scared to death seeing her look over the edge to wave a big hello. "Hurry and come down Hanna," NOW! Aww, I'm no fun at all. She even laid face first and slid down on her tummy.

A little chillaxing time for Tanner. He found the perfect spot to rest and relax, smarty pants.

Just get a load of that amazing boy tackle that rope bridge.

Just one more adorable picture of Hanna. Can't get enough of them can you? I know I can't.

We have an antique piano that's been stored in our garage. Tanner had fun playing some tunes on it. He wasn't too excited to realize he had an audience.

This is the only picture I took that had Jaimie in it. I love it, the cute connection between Hanna and her Mommy is precious. Tyler's in the background doing some last minute checking before he took Craig's truck on a weekend trip to Salt Lake

Some serious chalk art

Nikki will love that I posted this picture

This little girl will melt your heart, seriously!

Treasures
Some think that pearls and diamonds
Are treasures to obtain
Some think that cars and money
Will give us joy again
But those of us who know the joy
Of Grandchildren at our side
Will know that all else pales
When we reach that lovely ride
That takes us on to wrinkles
And streaks of grey upon our head
We wouldn't have a million
We'd take hugs instead
Enjoy the waning days
That bring us so much joy
And clutch unto your bosom
That precious girl or boy.
