Leah & Rebekah's Birthday!

Baba from Washington was able to come down for the weekend and spend some time with the great-grandkids! She first stayed with us and Rylee doesn't really know her very well, but as soon as Baba painted her finger nails and toe nails they were best friends. Thanks Baba for some of the patch jobs on my clothes!!! Sorry about the machine! The next day we all went to Leah and Rebekah's birthday party. They turned a whopping 2 years old this month!!! Boy is it going by so fast. I can remember when they were first born, the premie's so tiny in the hospital. Now they are running, jumping and talking! Here is Rebekah and Rylee eating their icecream cones.Can you say MESSY, oh and STICKY...but oh so YUMMY!!!!This is the back of Emily's head, the twin's little sister. She is like a porcelain doll, so adorable and smiley. She was born the day after Christmas this past year.At the party they had bounce houses and a pool because it was a whopping 102 degrees! Gross! Too hot for me!Oh and I can't forget Brody. What a trooper! He loves the water too!

Mother's Day!

Thanks to my great friend Aly (check out her blog - Alyson Kay Photography, it's linked under my "Favortie Links") for taking these shots for Mother's Day. I love them all and they turned out great!! I made an adorable craft for both my mom and Jon's mom. They turned out great and I added in a picture of the grandchildren. Yet my saying said "Home is where your grandma is".The four of us attended a Mother's Day brunch at a the Blue Agave in Pleasanton. We met up with Jon's family crew. Linda is so sweet to organize this in honor of us moms.
Jon was very sweet with a beatiful boquet of roses for me, flowers for my mom, his mom and his sister. What a thoughtful guy!Couldn't live without him, even though he runs on no sleep all too often.I hope you all had a great Mother's Day as well.

Smiley Boy!!!

Here we are out in the front playing!!!I just can't resist posting pics of such a happy guy!!! We love you Brody!

Rylee & Addie

We had the privilege of watching Addie (Aly's) daughter for the afternoon while she was at work. Rylee loved to have some company and was sharing all of her toys with her...amazing concept for this age.Since it was getting so hot, we blew up the pool and the two of them went down the slide and played with all the toys!! They loved it and we all had a great time!Even Brody had a great time!

Rylee and Brody

This was our little photo shoot in front of our house. Jon does a great job though he is never satisfied.

Thanks BABA!

These are two paintings done by my mom's mom (Baba). She has such creative hands. She can play the piano, play Bridge, Tennis, turn the pages of great classics and paint. Here she has taken it upon herself to leave a little something of herself to her great-grandkids. The first was a sweet ballerina painting for Rylee's extrememly pink girly room. I love it!The second is an old school Harley motorcycle in honor of our tough guy Brody. Great job! Jon custom made frames for both. These two are just perfect!!! Thanks again Baba!
