RYKER TURNS 3

Making it to a birthday while living in Vegas was no easy task.  So many birthdays and so few ways to plan them out when so many miles separated us.  So, when we could make it to one, it was a big deal to us.  We celebrated Ryker's birthday POJO'S style in Boise.  What a great day!!

February 2014

Who needs a fork??

Oops, I did it again...

I can not believe I have let so much TIME go by since my last blog.  It's not as if I have a million things going on all at once.  GAH!  Of course, so MUCH has happened since Kelsey and Drew got married (my last blog).  So, that was in September of 2013...let me THINK and see if I can get somewhat chronological with the highlights of that date to present.  I guess December would be the best place to start after that.  

For the first time in many years, Pete and I were able to spend a Christmas with itty bitty's.  Our four kids are all grown now and not that we don't enjoy spending Christmas or any other time with them for that matter, there's just something EXTRA magical about spending Christmas with innocent toddlers. Kassi, Samantha, Charlie and the babies came out to Las Vegas to celebrate Christmas with us.  I had such a fun time decorating the house, preparing yummy foods, desserts and of course, SHOPPING!!  It was such a special time that we will not soon forget.

 
 
 

Idaho and More

No other place on earth makes me happier than going home to Idaho!  Population 1.5 million for the state and 210,000 for the capital city of Boise.  Not too big, not too small, just right.  Amongst that population live most of my most favorite people of all time...our kids, grandkids, family and friends. 

Here are some highlights of our last trip taken just a week ago.

Pete and his siblings.  Missing Jim and Sam.

I'm a Grandma, that's why!

Because I'm a grandma and I think I have the cutest grandbabies, I can just plain out post pictures for no rhyme or reason.  So here it goes...

Ryker's Visit with the Easter Bunny

Shouldn't he be crying???

When you take most kids to see the Easter Bunny or Santa, don't they usually scream and reach out for mama?  Not this boy.  Ryker liked the goofy looking, even freaky lookin' Easter Bunny.  Jessica said he actually cried when she took him AWAY from the bunny.  This is Ryker's 2nd Easter, but really the first one he's old enough to experience.  Happy Resurrection Day my precious grandson!!!

The Grandbabies!

I was just going through my blog and realized I don't have any updated pics or news on our grandbabies.  Well, that is just not okay...gotta brag on those little cutie pies.  So here they are.
