Wrapping Paper

Elianna and Selah ( who left before I took the picture) helped me make wrapping paper for a few special gifts.
Now if only I could get them to wrap all my presents for me too!

Giggles, Giggles and more Giggles!

I hope you enjoy this video. Jaycob was having so much fun shooting Glenn with the Pirate Ship cannons and retrieving the "bullets" from him.

500+ miles for Daughter's Lasagna

Glenn enjoying his favorite lasagna that only Melanie can make for him.

Short Time at the Beach

We went to the beach on a cold dreary afternoon.

The moon was visible and beautiful.

Glenn learned about sea glass. Then they both searched for some to add to Melanie's collection.

The kids and I played in the sand, dodged waves, and threw rocks.

Dress Up

A couple of days last week the girls were playing dressup with some of the outfits I have here. They had a blast but for some unexplained reason neither of them would try on the football outfit.

I

No, this is not a pat down. I am not arresting them, they just wanted to have me take a picture showing their tails too.

Elianna became tired of dressing up and decided Shadow wanted to play dress up too. Despite his sad look, his tail was wagging.

Leaf Jumping

I took the girls outside last week and discovered they enjoyed jumping in the leaves. Selah especially thought it was sooo fun. The leaf colors were gorgeous but alas I had forgotten the camera. I took the girls out again today and remembered the camera. Disapointingly most of the leaves were boring brown. Of course the color didn't matter to them.

Selah is 2 !!

"I'm 2"

Climbing Girl

Lately, Elianna's big thing is to Climb. She climbs everything outside that will challenge her skills. Of course, most of the pictures are of her backside.

Climbing "Her Tree" in our front yard.

This wall was scary for even this normally nonchalant Grandma. It was easily twice as tall as I. Elianna scaled it like a monkey and not even once asked for help.

Just Like Big Sister!

The girls were riding bikes in the driveway. Elianna took off her jacket and was riding with it on her handlebar.

Well when Selah noticed Elianna, all I heard was "Me Too!"

Soon I had two girls with their jackets on their handlebars.

Ready, Set, Jump!
