Weekend Family Fun

Yummy!

Daughter-in-law Christy

Kicked back in the back yard!

Clean baby!

Finally, I got another shot of Grandpa and the grandkids.

You have seen this pose before....
Before we had Nathan to add to the mix.

Everyone here loves Katie's Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Gillan is growing up too fast.

Uncle Rudy and Nathan studying the Cube.

Me in my favorite spot in the house.

Cool Boys!

Oh good grief....these kids just can't stay out of the tiny, muddy gravel.
Down the shirts? Do they want big bellies?
Do they want to look like Santa or WaaazzzUp?

Feet are always an interesting subject, no?

We got Gracie fixed up for school.

Katie monogrammed her name on her new backpack.

Shadow loves everyone...Nathan likes her too.

Another little bag with Gracie's name on it!

Katie and Christy

Neat Stuff

We had a meeting in Oklahoma City recently and we stayed at Big Dale and Patsy's house over night. They are serious collectors and Patsy has a really neat Tea Room/Antique and Gift shop.
I love this neat birdbath and the stainless steel milk can below....both gifts from them.

The sweet birdbath found it's home in the rose garden.
It looks so neat, but the roses are really lacking in beauty right now.
Below, the milk can found it's home in a prominent place in the dining room.
I thought it needed a topper, so I found this plant..love it.

Yellow Squash Relish

Squash Relish, anyone? Anyone?

Katie and I had fun making this relish together last week.
Too bad we waited so late to make it. The plants are dying back now.

Finally, A Ripe Watermelon

Yummy...Who needs a fork, anyway?

Fresh Garden Corn

Josh and Andrew were so excited about the
corn being ready to eat....they jumped right
in to help. I had a bluegrass CD playing given
to David from a friend. Watch Andrew closely after
a few seconds into the video....he loves to sing and
can not keep from moving (dancing). He was
inhibited as soon as he realized the video camera
was going.

Doll Baby, or What?

Cutie Cute!

Nathan spent the day with me a week or so ago. We had so much fun.

OH NO, sadness...gloom and despair. Why do babies and children
always go straight for the Pella window (blinds between the glass)
cords? The cords are the most sensitive, fragile things...it is a

"No-No" to mess with them--easy to break, expensive to fix. Mean grandma, such a sad baby.

Grandma has been messing with this hair!

This hair is going to curl, if I have my way. Looking a little happier by now too.
He knows he is cute!
