Where are the boys?

These boys are getting so big! Jackson has grown a whole inch in less than a month! 
We took the kids to an open house for new homes and they loved touring through and seeing the 'cool' things inside!
What would a day with grandma be without walking to McDonalds for ice cream? That is so much for for all of us!
Jordan especially liked that he could eat the cone although he was a little skeptical at first!

Grandpas little princess

Aunt Misty sent some princess dress up clothes and Juliet loves wearing them and playing dress up anything involving a princess! She says "I a princess"!
Grandpa sure lives his little princess! She sits on his lap and sings songs and tells stories! Makes grandpa happy!

Juliet is 2!!!

Juliet had her second birthday on February 7th! She was so excited because everything was Frozen themed from the Disney movie "Frozen"! She got slippers, dolls, and mega blocks complete with a castle! Balloons and ribbons made for the little princess! 
Jenny made and decorated this fabulous cake of queen Elsa from the movie! It was purple inside and very yummy! So beautiful we hated to cut it!
Juliet Turns 2!!!
Pete took her to Buffalo Wild Wings for her birthday dinner! Juliet had fun wearing her birthday crown! Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Clay Pot Painting

I have been having such a grand time painting clay pots! They are like a blank canvas. It brings me great joy and piece to create something beautiful. 
The colors and the fun on each pot makes my day happy
I will be planting herbs in my painted pits so I can have a little container garden to pluck fresh herbs from for my cooking!

Sunny Funny Day

Playing in the wash with the boys - no moms and dad's allowed we are going to get rough!
Climbing up the concrete wall was so much fun good thing daddy wasn't there he would have said No! Grandma always says yes - within reason! And safety!
Jordi and Papa are best buddies, run Papa, run fast like a big truck!

Piano Lessons with Grandma

Jackson is almost 7 now, and I have started giving him piano lessons every Wednesday! I think he will pick it up fast he already doesn't want to bother with the little stuff or the theory he wants to play already! 
I gave him a treat this w eek because he practiced every day and really made some improvement! He actually went in to the next lesson because he knew he could d I it! His only trouble is focusing and listening to me when I am trying to explain to him! He is doing great though!

Park friends

It was really good to get back to sunny, warm Arizona! We took the kids to the park near our house.
Juliet found a cute little friend. Some other family had their new puppy at the park and miss Juju couldn't resist!
Juliet is is quite the friend maker! She always looks like a princess too!

Snow crazy

My first snow storm of the year. I surely didn't think I would see this much snow this year since we live in Arizona. I went to visit my sister Ann and also see Misty in Colorado!
Woke up Sunday morning to go to church with Ann and her boy friend Joe to this beautiful sight! Ann had to scrap off the car as I was not prepared for this white stuff.
It sure made for some lovely pictures for sure. This railing is at Joes!

Snow storm 2015

The first real snow storm of 2015 and I would be in Colorado!
Here in Colorado for Brandon's retirement ceremony and the weather forecasters did not see this one coming! 
All reports said Denver might get a dusting but nothing like this! It us beautiful to look at and so peaceful but I will take my cactus and warm weather any day! I loved gettin these great pictures though! This is just outside Ann's boy friend Joe's house.
Here us Ann's car, needless to say she didn't drive me to the airport Joe did! Tucson here I come!

Brandon retires from 21 years of service

I got to fly to Colorado this week to be at the retirement ceremony for Brandon! He has served in the army for 21 years!
Misty also received an award for standing by her man all these years! It had it's good times and it's bad but she did hang in there!
Misty, Kyla, Casey, Savannah, and Brandon's mom Linda!
It was a very touching and wonderful ceremony! 
This was my favorite part, these two sure do love each other!
