Happy Birthday Grammy

Happy Birthday Grammy!

We are blessed to have you as "Momma" & "Grammy"

Without you, we wouldn't sing " I see the moon" or a dozen other songs. 

It is unlikely that we would sing at all. 

You love so many of us, so thoroughly, so well. 

You spend your time on us, you spend your prayers. 

Thank you for fun childhoods. 

For teaching the joy of children and the value of remaining one at heart.

Thank you for the love of music. And color.  And art.  

To the moon and back for sure, 

We love you a million miles and more.

Grummy & Grandpa Visit

SUNNY SNAPSHOT

This weekend, Grammy & PaPa came to visit. The Big Kids were excited for days before in anticipation- Chandler sent Google maps to help them arrive at the right place. They worked as a team making up the bed with fresh sheets, creating a pallet on the floor for Logan(she had insisted G&P take her bed instead of going to a hotel). The children were asleep when they arrived (it was after 1 AM) but only a few hours later, we filled the weekend with fun.

On Saturday, we all got up early, ran hard and retired weary. We started with Logan's cheer :   

PaPa was allowed to push Rye for 3 whole seconds before she protested... she took her own sweet time warming up to  "Grummy & Grandpa" 

I'm smiling because I know they have FREE COFFEE inside :)

Taking a break from the demanding world of cheerleading...

We stopped long enough to get cash from an ATM & tea from Zaxbys (sorry, Uncle Ben!) before heading over to the Babe Ruth Fields. 

Chandler & Fisher were on opposite fields, same start time for both games. We were able to base ourselves at the concession area and pivot between Brewer brothers. It was also an ideal spot for staying in the shade.

... all the way home....

Baseball is fun

Chandler's Blue Team won 17-4

Fisher's Gold Team won 12-5

And we all know that winning is the only important thing, really. So, it was a good day ;) 

On Sunday, it was SLIDERS for lunch...do have the pineapple casserole. Thanks again, Mom & Dad for the treat.

The remainder of Sunday was for visiting. 

*Grummy and Grandpa- that couple formerly known as Grammy and PaPa- had to go back home on Monday, but not before Grammy & LoLo took to the beach one last time:

Happy Double Nickels  Day PaPa!

Fisher couldn't WAIT for PaPa to open his gift... I think he secretly hoped to try it :) 

Grummy always brings fun toys and games

Chandler asked PaPa lots of technical questions about computers and programming

Rye plays with all the fun new things that Grummy brought

Grammy captured my giggling girls (hiding from the Hide-N-Seek Bunny)

Ya'll come back now, ya hear?

 :)

*RyeBird took her own sweet time warming up to both Grummy and Grandpa. When she finally did, she did it on her own terms... changing their names of endearment in the process..
