My Talented Little Grandson

Andy has discovered he can suck not only one pacifier at a time, but TWO! He thinks this is just hilarious. Actually, I do, too, even though I know he's too old to still be sucking even one.
Just wanted to share the laugh!

Well, I have a couple of message boards that I check regularly, a Stay at Home Mom group, and another playgroup...I'll have to add the "blog" to my list. My online time gets later and later at night!
Jason and I met my dad and Megan halfway between here and San Angelo this afternoon to send the girls with them for the week. My mom was meeting Amy in Abilene to get the boys. They will be busy, busy!!! I called on our way home from church this evening (well, it was after 10:00-we had a going away dinner and a "roast" for our preacher. He's leaving next week) and my dad had been rocking Ally, and Emma was wanting Aunt Megan to lay in bed with her. I had a talk with Emma...and shortly after my mom said they layed Ally down again and she stayed. I think she's just not used to her pac-'n-play.
Anyway, I'll try to post a couple pics of the girls. I don't know what I'll come up with, but I'll try...and I'll get out tomorrow and get some of our garden-we've had fresh red and green bell peppers, jalepenos, zuccinni, yellow squash, tomatoes, green beans, and strawberries! The only thing we're waiting on is the cantaloupe. Yummmm!
love you all bunches,
jenni

weeeeeelll...turns out I figured out how to post pictures!! You all will be sorry now.
There should be one of each of the girls roller skating. Emma was so cute-she did the YMCA dance all around the rink!
Ally is having fun with shaving cream...and Emma has a butterfly painted on her face at the Animal Planet Expo.
The girls are scooping some water from an otherwise dry river bed. There is a neat hiking trail that leads down to it (in Leander) and there are some dinosaur tracks in the dry bed. It's really cool. Emma takes her binoculars and hunts up whatever she can. Jason found a mom and dad crawfish this last time. The girls thought that was neat.
I better stop. I may be in trouble, now that I figured this out.
Debbie-I love the birdhouses! We have a couple in our backyard, and a hummingbird feeder. We're trying to get some flowerbeds going too. Your yard looks amazing!

I got the Promotion!!!

For those of you who don't know it, I've decided to go to grad school so I'll be staying at Target. I applied for a Level 3 position, which means higher pay and I get to boss people around!!! :)


That's about all that's new in my world.

Pictures from last Post

For some reason my pictures didn't post. Who knows what I did wrong. Here's another try.

Our Week-End

Well, I warned you that if no one else posted any pictures of the little ones that I would, so here goes! We had Grace and Nathan spend the night last night and then Jamie, Jennifer and Sam came to church with us this morning so we could show Sam off to everyone. Then everyone, including Cody, came over for grilled hamburgers. We had a great time! The only one missing was Andy. We had so much fun with the kids yesterday. We had made plans to help them build bird houses, so Russell had them all cut out and I had them painted and I bought stencils for the kids to decorate them and then I bought little ice cream sticks to use for picket fences. I had even spray painted the sticks white! Well, the kids had other ideas! I thought I would put the paint on the press on stencils and then figure out where I wanted them to go where they would look the best. (The stencils were of flowers and bugs.) I thought pink, blue and yellow flowers would be nice with green leaves. Then we would scatter a few bugs (red for lady bugs, maybe blue for butterflies, etc.) We wound up with blue leaves, pink lady bugs, white flowers to name a few and no picket fence at all. But they turned out precious and the kids loved making them. Then we had an evening at Chuckie Cheese. Russell and I had never been to Chucky Cheese. Jamie said that he was in college before he figured out that it wasn't only rich people who went to Chucky Cheese! ha We ordered their over-priced pizzas and bought lots of tokens and spent 2 hours there. The kids had a ball. We took pictures of ourselves and they played basketball and skee ball and a game where a lizard with a long tongue tries to catch bugs. They played so hard that they both went to bed and didn't get up one time! That's a first. They were both asleep within a minute of going to bed. Russell and I fell asleep pretty fast ourselves. Anyway, here are some pictures from the week-end.
Don't make me post more pictures of my beautiful grandchildren. That's not an empty threat!!
