PARADE AS NONE OTHER THAN YODA

FLOYDEE

IRONMAN

Halloween 2010

Floydee was Ironmand and Fletcher was Yoda!

The Boys are back in town

The boys are back in town. Floyd and Fletcher flew back into town with their parents on Fletcher's first birthday. I am sure that Grandma Leslie loved them to pieces! I missed them so. Happy birthday Fletcher.

Minie Cooper

Yes, Grammy B and Bumpa went for a Saturday stroll and past the pet store. This poor little kitten was calling out to Paul. Paul opened the cage and handed me this little kitten. It immediately stopped crying. Paul looked at me and said, "What is one more cat" and he bought it. His name is Minie Cooper. He was runt of the little. His mama died giving birth and the babies were feed with baby doll bottles. Ergo the reason why Cooper is so small. We brought him home and told Floydee and Fletcher that Cooper was their Birthday Gift. Can you tell that Floydee couldn't have been happier. Lauren and Rob--well the jury is still out, but when their construction is done then they will see. If we keep him that is ok also.

Pagosa Springs, Colorado

It was go gorgeous in
Colorado. The leaves
were changing but the weather couldn't have been more perfect. We hicked up to 7,500 feet elevation.

Sept 4

Yes it sad to say that it is that time of year AGAIN--my birthday. Paul was very sweet to me as usual. It started off with a great pedicure with a lef and foot message!! the Best. A make over at Nordstrom's and a romantic dinner at Log Haven. I told him he had to be good to me for a week. That is the usual way to celebrate a birthday--everyday for a week.
He just laughs.

Fletcher 7-24-2010

Notice the bruise on Fletcher's arm---well that is where he pulled the lamp down on his arm and of course it broke his little arm. He is a trooper. He just slide it along the floor and crawls everywhere without complaining.
He loves his grammy B. but not more than he loves him!!!!!

the 24th of july

Yes, the July 24th came and the kids were so excited. No , let me say they parents were-the kids just went along for the tradition. Floyd squirted Margot and soaked her, she just laughed, Matt lit the fireworks and the kids watched with curious expressions. They were so funny. They loved the pop fireworks from Grammy B the most! Check out Charlie's eyerlashes, every girl is jealous of them.

Mary's Party

Yes, Mary Evans is getting married and we all got together to celebrate

Gracie is a joker

Yes, Gracie is a character! She wears these Glasses everywhere--they aren't real prescription glasses--that is her joke on everyone. She just keeps on smiling.

floydee and Fletcher

Yes the Floydster is so nochalant about everything so much so he is a riot and little
smiley Fletcher is just a sweet little boy. A lamp fell on his arm and broke his little arm so now he crawls around with a cast on---notice he is wearing his mommy's favorite color ORANGE!

Family reunion

It is not very often at all that all 6 brothers and sisters manage to get together but we did. Yes the years are creeping up on us but life has so much more to offer that we will all survive the roller coaster.

Gracie's weekend with Grammy

I forgot to post this before we went to Maine, but Gracie and I had a great weekend together just doing girls things. I love you Gracie!

Tulum,Isla Las Mujeres, Playa del Carmen 2010

We went to Tulum, Mexico to see the Mayan Ruins, Paul decided to embrace the local Iguanna who was posing for pictures. We drove golf carts around the Isla. It was like going back in time 50 years. We also ate tacos off of a local street vendor and we basked in the sun in the beautiful cabanas provided by the resort. As my Mom would say, "This is the Life!"
