ADVENTUROUS ANDREW

Last weekend we got to have a bunking party with Andrew, Oli, Hannah and Brea.  Elisha is at college now, so he couldn't join us.....

Andrew was a little upset at one point because his mom didn't leave early enough to suit him (he didn't get to get everything he likes to do into the evening), but he recovered quickly.  It was as though he got his second wind after she left for home.

He loves to craft and uses lots and lots of glitter.  He is very creative and comes up with some great designs.  The kids are now enjoying the "Cricut Machine" and have learned to make lots of people and design the clothes.  This isn't just for girls because there are knights, dragons, pirates and more on these programs.

After crafting, the popcorn was served with lots of butter;  this is only for Grandma's house!
A few M&M's were eaten, the mess was cleaned up and the couch was made up into an extra bed.

Andrew decided he wanted to see how many pillows he could stack on top of each other to make a mountain.  He was king of this mountain until all the others decided they needed a few pillows too.

The mountain quickly came down.

I enjoy my Adventurous Andrew.  Sometimes he's quiet, sometimes he's noisey, but he's always a joy!  He is growing up way too fast and is quickly turning into a handsome young man.  I love you Andrew!  There is nothing I wouldn't do for you!

BEAUTIFUL BREA

How did my Brea grow up so fast?   It seems like yesterday that she was a little rough-neck, fighting with her dad and uncles whenever they were around.  Now she has blossomed into a beautiful young lady with so many interests.

This past Saturday I asked her to help me with some extra house cleaning.  She came and did an awesome job.  Every piece of furniture was dusted and shined.  She vacumned the floors, mopped, and put everything back in place.

If that wasn't enough, she was able to fix a broken kitchen drawer.  This drawer has been broken for several years and no one was able to fix it to where it would stay in place.  When I told Brea that was all I wanted for Mother's day, she decided to take a look at it herself.  Within a few minutes it was fixed!!!  It is a week later and it is still fixed!!!!   I am so happy!   Thank you Brea.

Recently we were able to get some pictures of her at the daycare as she read to the children.  She is so good with the kids, especially the school age kids.   My Brea Brea is growing up way too fast.  I am so blessed to have wonderful grandchildren!
