A Visit from Her Highness

I was blessed with a visit from Princess Alaina Grace this afternoon. First she insisted that we had on the proper foot apparel. Yes, she made me put on a pair of princess shoes also. I put my big toes inside and kind of walked on the edges of my feet. I was glad when we started to play house and cars. When we took the tent outside to play, she saw the pool and insisted on filling it up.





Notice the princess shoes, her second
pair of the day.

We then had to wake up Poppie to see if he wanted to swim with us. "Get on a shoot", she told us. When we went out she made sure we were both soaked. It was very refreshing....while I have been preparing this, she has discovered Poppie's ice cream salt! Good thing I have a supply of vacuum bags.

College Bound

Lacey is following a quest for knowledge. I am so proud of her. We helped get her ready with a 'party' to 'shower' her with recipes and college
necessities. Thanks to everyone that helped her out.







We took her to her apartment today. We met two of her room mates and they look very nice. ( I thought the one girl's dad was her boyfriend! He looked so young. I think he was flattered. Or he thinks I am old and blind. )
I stifled sobs all the way home. I tried to explain to the males in the household why I was crying. Hayden couldn't understand. I can't tell him, that the reason he doesn't understand why I have to cry, is the reason I am crying. I am missing that feminine thought process. But I am so proud of my best friend in the house and her achievements. I know she has many wonderful adventures ahead of her. I know my heart will quit pinching me soon. I love her! Make me 'happy' of you Lacey June.
I will email her address to anyone that wants to send her a little card or anything.









Ethan loved the stairs, both inside and outside. He says Lacey's apartment is great!















Lacey's bed is ready for her. Don't worry, she has plenty of blankets.

Grand Time for Me!

Grandma was treated to a day with Ethan and Alaina. We couldn't decide which activity was the best- The Zoo or Cherry Hills....so we did both. We enjoyed the zoo in the morning. (Alaina fell asleep just before lunch.) After lunch, we rode on the carousel and then the train. The kids were a little apprehensive about that big machine with the colorful animals. But once it got going and we started squealing, "Wheeee". They joined us. After that, the train was kind of boring.
We went home for naps....did they take one? I sure did.
Then we headed for Cherry Hills. It was fun for Morgan and the dads to join us. We stayed until closing. The two whales swam merrily in the Lazy River. Alaina enjoyed the "big' slide with her parents and Ethan scoped out the Pirate's Cove and posed for a photo shoot. The two children loved being together. They made raspberries at each other and giggled, floated around together and discovered the joys of chair climbing. It was a grand day for Grandma!
