Paisley's Poses and Spencer Too!

This is a picture of Paisley getting into the stuff for Charity's birthday party.
Paisley loved the cupcake liners with pictures of Cinderella on them.
She was so cute - it was hard not to give her anything she wanted.

Little Paisley posing at the pool - so cute!

I just love this cute little polka dot dress. I got it for her first birthday.
It was so fun to take pictures of her in the dress.

I saved the best picture for last - cute little Spencer with his big sister!
What a great time I had visiting them and
I'm looking forward to Spencer's first birthday coming up soon!
I am such a lucky grandma to have 7 wonderful grandchildren!

Charity's new location

This is the view of Folsom Lake that Charity has from her bedroom.







She lives in the cute little house shown below. It is a one bedroom cottage.

An Afternoon at Chuck E. Cheese's

Adalei and Brielle had a fun time on the rides.

Adalei was brave enough to pose by the mouse.
Below, we had a yummy lunch of pizza and fries.

Adalei was having so much fun and
below Brielle was proud that she could ride without holding on!

I lost the election!

I ran for Precinct Committee Officer and lost with 42% of the vote in Tuesday's election. I'm okay with the results.

Beautiful House for Sale in Camas, Washington

The house is ready to sell! The new shrubs in front of the house are cute.

This is the cute living room above and the dining room below.
I folded all the napkins in the glasses.

This is the entry way above and the family room below.
The pictures aren't all hung yet - 6 more to hang tomorrow.

This is the cute breakfast nook above. I recovered the chairs and impressed myself as to how well they turned out. Below is a good shot at part of the kitchen.

Here's the rest of the kitchen above and the girls' bunk beds below.

I loved the laundry room with the colorful baskets and the picture which I made!

This is one picture of the girls' bathroom above and the guest bedroom below.
The comforter set below is borrowed from my guest bedroom.

This is the master bedroom above - this picture doesn't do it justice but gives you an idea.
Below is a picture from the master bathroom.

Sunday Dinner

I made a fun Sunday dinner for Nate and family yesterday. The menu was pumpkin soup, salad, cinnamon-sugar muffins and homemade chocolate ice cream.

Adalei and Brielle had a library book about pumpkin soup and the recipe was at the end of the story. I told them I would make pumpkin soup for them as a result. It was actually quite good.

The salad was mostly vegetables from my little garden - lettuce, broccoli, and peas. Then I added some blueberries and sliced almonds. It was yummy!

The muffins were a big hit and so was the ice cream. It was really fun and there were no leftovers except a little pumpkin soup!

Nate's and Misty's three...........

Aren't they cute? I took this picture this week. I brought blueberries and raspberries and even Elijah was having a great time eating them. He doesn't even make a mess which sure surprised me! That boy doesn't seem to need a bib!

Yesterday

Adalei and Brielle looked so cute yesterday that I had to take a picture. Elijah was sleeping when this picture was taken and I forgot to take one of him after he woke up.





I'm quite excited about my garden below. This is the first garden I've had since I moved to Washington. I planted tomatoes, broccoli, peas, squash, lettuce, green peppers, and onions. I've been eating lots of lettuce and had broccoli once. Next I want to do a box with strawberries.

Farm Life in Missouri

I love these pictures taken in the town where my parents live! At the bottom is a picture of my parents with my grandfather who is 95 years old.

My other brothers and sisters

While visiting my mother, grandfather, and step-father in Missouri, I attended the Creek family reunion. This was my step-father's family's reunion. Mom and I are in the first picture. The following pictures show my other sisters and brothers. Two sisters were missing: Shirley from Utah and Melanie from Seattle. From the top to the bottom below: Donna, Renee, Jeanie, Alan, and Brad. Donna is from Utah and the others live in Missouri.
