Serene, Brandon, and Sydney are here. I love it when all the kids are back home! Life is good! I get to put Sydney to bed each night, what a privilege that is.

Yesterday when Abbie was here helping with the kitchen, she wanted an animal cracker. Her mama said no, that she'd had enough, and then it happened. I got my name. I started to walk out of the kitchen and Abbie looked at me and said BaBa and pointed to the cookies. I got my name!!! So BaBa told Slapps that I was giving her a cookie no matter what!! All Abbie has to do is look at me with her big blue eyes and say BaBa and that's all it takes, I melt like butter in the sun.

I got Jacob for a few days while Erin went to girls camp and we had an awesome time. He was a pretty good boy. I can't believe how big he's getting. I finished Hailey's quilt and her blessing blanket. I'll post pictures later, I have to take them first!!

Being a Grandma is the best!!! It certainly makes all those years raising their parents worth it!!!

Slapps and Abbie helping with the Granite!

Sydney in Grandma's garden picking cherry tomatoes and popping them into her mouth. She loves cherry tomatoes! She ate all the ripe ones in the garden today. She is my sweetie pie!! Sydney helped grandma all day today. I'm loving it and can't get enough!!
