Did you know?

 The Elders are working on their cooking skills each friday when they make bread.  This day I showed them how to make cinnamon rolls.  They were amazed at how easy it was and that you can cut dough with a piece of thread.

 I'm not sure how many they ate that day before they left the house but they were all full of bread when they were done.

The excitement was over whelming for them.

The Birthday Party that changed my life.....

 Baby, I just want to eat your face.

 The Hawaiian themed party was produced by my Elders.  They were in charge of the whole thing.

 Don't I look lovely..

 Yummy teriyaki hambergers , salsa, chips, pineapple and fruity smoothies........

 The four Elders in costume...

 The girlie's enjoying the party,

 Elder C , enjoying his burger.

 Elder H having a big drink of smoothie.

 Elder G was so busy keeping the activities going that I didn't get a single shot of just him.  Sorry fam.  More to come of him next week.

They couldn't wait to get their FULL attire on for the this photo opp.......

Niabi Zoo in Davenport

 The train was a big high light at the end of the day.  The zoo is small enough that you could enjoy it and see the animals. The air was cool and the animals were all out feeling the fresh air.

 Zander being pampered by the girls.  Push me Aubrey....

 My two monkey's, Aubrey and Isabelle

 Long necks at a zoo??

I told you do not take a picture of me.  My missing the last two steps of the deck were  not fun.

Iowa City Children's Museum

 This place is like Disneyland.  The kids love this place.  Baby wanted down so bad and to be a part of the fun time.  Next year Baby.

 At the Pizza House they loved it.  They prepared, cooked and served pizza to us.

 The airplane was a hit for Zander.  He flew for an hour.

Baby thought it was pretty cool too.

Roasting the Mellows

 For some reason other than being 3, this picture keeps reappearing.

 This mega smore looks painful Sissy.

 Mommies always share.

 Aubrey just happy to be outside and eating mellows till I'm sick.

Best Friends ....

Soccer Coach Elders.... 2-3 grade girls teams

 The Elders got their dose of chatty 8-9 year girls.  Yikes  was their reaction....

 "Do girls really talk that much?"  "Do they fight all the time?""Man they are competivie!"

 Have you ever coached in your shirt and tie??? Inquiring minds want to know.

 Elder G(our gentle giant) and his cheering groupies.  English had the best record and Spanish not so much.  We wont talk about their record.

Do you think they are over dressed for the game???

Off to Grandma's House

 The forrest really filled in fast this year due to the very warm winter we had.  I only shoveled snow 2 times.  It is going to be a dry summer if we don't get enough water.  So this could be the only time we really have green grass.  We don't have sprinkler systems here like everywhere else.  If it doesn't rain things get a bit brown.

Let the playing begin., roasting marshmallows, making mud pies in the mud kitchen, swinging on the swings, catching frogs, scootering around the streets.
