Dinner and a show...

Lilly picked our menu for the night (so it would be something she liked and wouldn't whine about eating!) and helped me make it.  Stuffed shells!  They turned out delicious and she loved helping cook!  I need to do this more often!  Also, some days are just "Emma" days when you need that wonderful movie playing in the background of your day.  The music is wonderful too and I have seen it enough times that I don't have to be glued to the screen to enjoy it.  I DO have to watch the dancing scene and the ending scene though.  So beautiful...

Winter projects...

More snow!  So pretty coming down, gently and quietly.  I love to watch it!  Winter days are good for getting projects done.  Like Auntie Adona's picture pages!  We did her history years ago, but we have so many more pictures to put it in, and I can make the pages with pictures already on them look so much nicer now that I re-did the whole thing!  (Not the typing of course).  I really love the new look and hope she will enjoy looking at it and seeing all the pictures we have added.  With her dementia, I am not sure how much she will remember, but they seem to remember the past much better than the present, so here's hoping!  It is also a digital file now so I can upload it to our family facebook page and share it!  It will eventually make it's way to Family Search after she has passed.  Now I need to get my mom's updated and posted on there!!  So many projects!

Poor sick babies...

I am always so sad when my grandbabies are sick. And yes, David is still my grandbaby!  He just laid on the couch with a cool rag over his head. We tried to keep him drinking liquids and resting.  I don't think he even watched a movie.  It was a long, sad day! And Walter only sleeps for awhile when I hold him.  I love the snuggles but am so sad he isn't feeling well.  Hopefully the others won't get sick.  Get well soon my lovies!  

Snow again!

We got some more snow!  Finally!  A little yesterday (the 18th) and more today!  YAY!!! It looks so pretty and we are so happy to get some!  Once a month we have gotten snow.  Not enough!  Hopefully more will be coming!

Valentines Day 2018

We didn't go all out for Valentines this year, but I did make heart sausages and pink heart pancakes for dinner!  I think it was a hit.  The one meal no one complains about.  YAY! Love all my valentines!  

The Greatest Showman...

After seeing the Greatest Showman at the theater with Kelly and Donna, I really wanted to share it with the grandkids.  It is such a great show, story, and music!  I couldn't talk Dave into going, but David and Jacob were willing!  Lilly wasn't able to join us, she missed out! We went on Saturday morning and pretty much had the theater to ourselves!  We bought popcorn and had some of our leftover Christmas candy to eat. (Kind of early on Saturday for junk food, but oh well!)  The boys really liked it!  I LOVE it!  I can't wait to get the CD of the music and just listen to it over and over!  I know this is the Hollywood version of PT Barnum's story, but he knew what he was doing.  He was creative and inventive, and he helped people feel good!  And of course, it was Hugh Jackman in the starring role so that alone is worth the price of a ticket!  I will be buying this movie when it comes out!  Thanks boys for going with me!

Seven months...

This little man is 7 months old!  He loves to eat!  And is very fun to spend each day with.  Love this little guy!  Can't believe he is growing so fast!  Love you Walter!

Books with 2nd graders...

Walter and I went to the school to have cookies and read books with Jacob. Walter couldn't quite stay awake.  It was his nap time after all.  Jacob and I enjoyed the cookies and I loved having him read to me.  He also read a book he made.  He wrote the story and drew the pictures.  It was very cute.  He is very cute!  I love getting to go do these things with the kids!

Little old people...

On the 100th day of school, the kids like to dress up as 100 year olds. I drew a few lines on their faces and they dressed up!  Jacob didn't want to participate this year but David and Lilly had great fun bending over and walking like little old people.  Happy 100th day!
