feeding the fish and Family Fun Night at VW Mall

The girls and I headed out to the pond at Jordan Creek this afternoon. We took 4 pieces of bread to feed the fish and one duck! PERFECT afternoon to be outside!! We walked around the pond, played at the amphitheater. We then headed to VW mall for Family Fun night. They had face painting, inflatables, Batman, popsicle flag craft, coloring table, free balloons. We spent 2 hrs doing all these fun activities!

Shaylar and Haydn

Haydn had her special time in Mt Ayr Friday-today. She got to help out with he/she golf on Friday night. Cheryl Taylor was also watching her 4 yr old granddaughter, Shaylar. Sounds like they had a good time together. Nana and Haydn did their Fancy Nancy lunch today. Mom also made Haydn and Lily matching dresses. Sounds like mom and dad wore Haydn out, she slept through most of church and slept to and from Diagonal yesterday.

water balloon fight

we bought 600 water balloons today. Seems like it takes twice as long to fill them as it does to pop them! Wes and Hannah had a great time hitting one another!!

Menace Game

Hannah with the Menace mascot

Wes, Hannah and I headed to the Menace soccer game last night. Luckily we sat on the west side of the stadium so the sun did not borrow us. The Menace won 2-0. Actually the game had to be called for their was no electricity, they had no lights on the field so it was getting dark enough that they could see to play the game.

Hannah's trip to MA

Hannah went to Mt Ayr last Saturday and came home yesterday. For the past 2-3 yrs mom and dad have taken each grandchild for a few days for some one-on-one time. They all love this time in Mt Ayr. Hannah got her American Girl-Kit for Christmas and the big thing with AG dolls is to dress like them, mom had bought fabric and sewed a dress for Hannah and a matching one for Kit. Each girl got to pick out their own fabric. Hannah's favorite color is purple so it was no surprise that she chose purple!

Getting ready for their Fancy Nancy lunch! Boas and all!

LOVE, LOVE this picture, may be hard to tell but there is a butterfly on the back of Hannah's neck at the bottom of her hair line. She caught three butterflies while she was there, naming them Summer, Spring and Winter.

The hot tub is a HUGE hit with the grandkids.

learning how to sew a straight line.

how will she eat corn on the cob?

Hannah wanted to pose for this picture

Hannah lost her second front tooth tonight. I was out eating supper with girlfriends tonight and Wes sent me a message saying sh.e lost it! Her tooth was loose but not loose enough I thought it was coming out tonight. I guess Wes wiggled it alittle to hard and then it was so loose that it had to come out tonight. What a big gap she has in the front now!!

Princess Camp

Haydn started princess camp today. She was VERY excited to get going this morning. She even wanted to leave 30 mins before camp started! Today she made a princess crown. Tomorrow she will paint finger/toe nails and will have a visit from a princess. Wednesday-they will get their hair done and second princess will visit. Thursday-they will be putting on make-up and the last princess will visit. Friday- is water day. I hope the weather is nice for it!

FREE Car Wash

Hannah is in MA for her one-on-one time with Nana and Papa. Haydn and I got back home and it was sunny and not raining! MIRACLE! She wanted to play in the water so we washed Wes's dirty car. Well she actually only did part of one side so I have to finish it up!!

Zoo

The girls and I headed to the Zoo today. Luckily we dodged the rain and it was clear the whole time we were at the zoo. We had our normal picnic lunch in the van. I truly think the girls enjoy this as much if not more than actually going to the zoo!

more family fun

Each January for dad's b-day we get the grandkids pictures taken for him. Well this is the first time Vada has been back to IA since last summer. We attempted to get some shots of the kids, hopefully Kayren or Anna Leigh captured better ones than I did. We also had a birthday party for Vada while she was here, she will be 2 on June 30th!

Papa with the 5 grandkids

Vada didn't want to be in this one, she is getting a snack in the hopes she will return for another picture!

and she did!
