Paddy's Big Day

At work on Thursday we celebrated Paddy's Day. We had Irish soda bread. It was GOOD! I want the recipe! And as you can see we had brownies and chocolates and other bread. I'm not Irish, but I celebrated anyway...why not? We should all enjoy life more!

This Was the Place

So for the RS birthday we went to This is the Place Monument. Here is my new VT, Marilyn standing next to her new friend, Herman. Herman is a little shy but I guess I would be too if I had no clothes....

Here is the cookie break. Lots and lots of cookies --all you could eat.

We were in the quilting building. I don't think I took any pics of the quilts. How forgetful!

Trick or Trick in March???

After I got home today, the doorbell rang. In walked Logan, not a word did he say. Ran to my little candy jar, removed the contents he wanted and away he ran, without one word....So was that a trick or a treat???

Spring Sprung!

The first request for date shakes came today. I grew up in Southern Cal, in the Palm Springs area where I learned about date shakes. I loved them. And so always buy the date sugar/or crystals from there and make date shakes, here at home. So time to dust off the Blend-tec and fill the orders of the day!

After the shakes, Tyson wants to have grandpa throw him some pitches.

Unfortunately, grandpa pulls a leg muscle....Ouch...

A Little About Tyson Jacob

Tyson is a happy 9 year old with lots of talents and abilities. He knew the names of all the planets when he was just about 18 months old. He started talking at such an early age it was incredible. He seems to like basketball more than any sport and also enjoys baseball. He will start 4th grade in the fall of 2010. He has already traveled alot with me for his young years, to southern Utah, Texas, Germany and Switzerland. He is a real thinker and enjoys spending time with his grandpa Spencer, shooting, fly tying, golf and fishing.

A Little About Brecklyn Brianne

Brecklyn is the only girl in the family and so she has a special place in my heart. She is a pretty "Tiny Dancer" just like her mom always was. She is starting kindergarten in the fall of 2010 and just can't wait. She loves to go walking with grandma Sonja and never says no when I want to walk just a little farther. She makes friends easily and even makes friends at places such as the McDonald's playground. She has received several trophies at her dance performance competitions where her group seems to always get 1st place.

A Little About Logan Spencer

Logan is going to be in Pre-school in the fall of 2010. He is a very active 4 year boy. He enjoys soccer, just like his dad and basketball, just like his big brother, Ty. He and Ty are not at all alike and look and act totally different. It is hard to believe that they are brothers! Logan loves to play in the sandpile as my blog shows and doesn't think fishing is such a great sport. Afterall, why should it take so long just for one measly little fish? He learned to ride his bicycle at age 3 and loves to be grandpa's little buddy.

A Little About Grayson

He's here, born June 30-, on his great-grandmother's birthday. That makes him super special. 7 lbs. 3 oz. 18 1/2 inches. He's a little guy, blonde and sweet. He is definitely a "Momma's boy" and will only allow others to hold him for a very short time. Then he lets you know he is very unhappy. But I am sure this will change eventually and he will find out other people are fun and interesting too. We love this little guy and look forward to see what he thinks about his very first Christmas!
