Memorial Weekend 2008

We were fortunate to have a visit from the grandkids, as well as the kids, this past weekend. Here, Dawson is helping Mammie bake cookies. Well, actually he really helped with the eating of the cookies. He also had a big milestone this weekend, as he peed on the pottie at Mammie and Papa's! Quite a day for him.












I couldn't decide which picture to put on, so I went with both. Isn't she quite the doll in front of the camera? Her hair is just ringlets, making her Mammie very jealous. She continues to be a Daddy's girl whenever he is around, just can't get very far from him.

Alexys is growing up way to fast. She will be in kindergarten in the fall, and really seems to be changing, and growing up. She spent most of the afternoon with her great grandparents, helping them planting their garden, and getting things ready for a cookout for supper. She usually is willing to help with almost anything.

Mother's Day-a day late!

The kids helped me celebrate Mother's Day in a grand fashion. Brooklynn is getting quite a head of curly hair, and has mastered smiling when the camera is pointed in her direction.














Dawson is getting so big. He really lights up, too, when I get the camera out. He loves his bike, and has finally given up the winter boots for his sneakers. We thought he'd be wearing them all summer.













Alexys has a new haircut. She looks so much more grown up to me. She loves the flowers, but not the bees that were buzzing around her. She still cannot part with the headbands, but at least her hair stays out of her face.

Celebration of birthdays

We celebrated 2 birthdays this weekend, Ken and Sue, with a fantastic meal, entertaining ditties, gifts galore, and cake. It was a memorable evening, with laughter flowing all of the evening.
















I think Sue likes her dishes!
