I am testing to see how easy the Picasa program will make to upload photos
this is one of my favorite one I took of Colten back in 2007 OK so this is so much faster..

if you are doing one photo at a time

Maybe I will be able to post more often

ATTENTION DISCLAIMER

I was informed that I put the wrong date on most of the blogs I did this last week-end
all dates should have been 2010
oops..... I will try and fix later

UPDATE!!!! LOTS OF NEW STUFF

OK so my grand daughters have kept asking their mom when I was going to update my blog.

So this is for Mikaila and Mackenzie, thanks for bugging me so I post on this.

I have had one crazy year so far and so here are some of the highlights in my life.

enjoy....

Activity Days

This last Wed at Activity Days, it is a class I teach at my church with 8 to 11 years old girls, we had a princess party. It was one of the most special days I have had with the girls. To teach them that they are all princesses, daughters of a Heavenly King. I had so much fun making the cute water bottles, cupcakes and tiaras. I read this poem to them and then had one printed for each one of them to take home. I pray they all remember how special they are, I also wish that my grand daughters could have been there.. and I do have tiaras and a poem for each of you.

Shower for Baby Jacob

On June 19th I had a baby shower for our new little grandson and his mommy. Little Jacob should be here this month sometime. Can't wait to hold him.

The Dunn's

Here are pictures of the Dunn kids at Grant's wedding

Brianna, Brian, Amanda and Tommy

they have grown up so fast and I should have taken a pictures of them next to me so you could see how tall they are. I think Tommy is as tall as his Papa.

Grant's Wedding

Yes that is right, he is married for those of you who did not know. Two days before I left for my trip to AZ, Grant let me know that he would be getting married in 10 days. Well thanks to Elizabeth's mom and sister they pulled it off. It was beautiful and I can tell you that I have not seen my son this happy in years if ever.

Thanks Elizabeth for making my son so happy.

My last day in AZ

WOW that trip was so fast and I never want to only go for 4 days again. We didn't have enough time to do much on anything. Of course the main reason I went was to see the kids dance recital and I am so glad I did, but it seems like I just got there and it was time to go home.

I am very proud of these kids, they work hard in school and are honor students in excel classes. Smart and cute. but then ALL my grandkids are cute. I am a very lucky Nani

Sedona getaway

On Sunday I took Tami away to Sedona, well she drove, but I wanted her to have a relaxing day without kids and commitments. It seems she is always on the go with working, taking kids to classes and such that I thought it would be fun to have a day for just her and I. It was really nice.

I did miss the grandkids, but it was nice to have a day to visit with just her. And Sedona is beautiful, everyone should go see the red mountains, amazing what God has given us.

Mackenzie's Dance pictures

Mackenzie is an awesome dancer, you can tell she loves to dance and I hope someday I will see her on stage some where. She keeps up her grades, and goes to I don't even know how many dance classes a week.

It was so fun to go down and see her dance recital in person.

love you little lady...

Evan's Dance Pictures

So I finally got to go see Evan and Mackenzie's Dance Recital. What a proud Nani I am. Evan is SO good you would think he has been dancing for years. Keep it up Evan.....

ENGAGED !!!!

It is official, Grant and Diane are engaged. We are very happy that Diane will be part of our family. It has been years since we have seen Grant this happy. Congrats to the cute couple.

Something New

OK I am on a roll 3 post in 2 days, scary....
this is my new craft in progress.
you must use your imagination, pictures these with a tootsie roll pop on the end.
more to come when I get them figured out.

I DID IT!!!

I am very proud of myself, I got 4 scrapbook pages done this last week-end.
This is a cute kit Close to my Heart came out with for this month.
It was so hard to pick which pictures I wanted. Decided to make these for Tami as I have not made any for her. For those of you don't know the girls are Mikaila and Mackenzie. Now I need to do some for the rest of the grand kids. Sorry for the glare

MY NEW BATHROOM & CLOSET

I should have posted this right away but as always life happens. I wanted to share with everyone pictures of my new bathroom and say a BIG THANK YOU to Israel and his crew. Israel did do most of the work, but I am sure that he as much as I appreciate all the work Tommy, Brian, Grant and Jason did to help him. It is wonderful and sparkling clean and believe it or not I keep it that way everyday. Hope I don't stop. The shower is great and bigger than our old one.
And another BIG THANK YOU to Grant for buying me the new bathroom sink and cabinet with drawers. I have not had drawers in over 15 years in my bathroom, sure helps to keep the window sill clean. There is a mirror that goes with the sink but it is not hung up just yet. Maybe this week-end.
Oh thank you to my dear husband for letting me get my new bedroom set. Now I have a whole new suite just for me, oh and Kim.....
Now I have to think about spring cleaning the rest of the house.

just a few of my crafts

here are a few pictures of my some of crafts. The paper dolls are my newest and I love making them

Tami's B-day heart

Ok so I am not going to tell you how old my daughter is mostly because that will give my age away as well. But I can say that I have given her a lot of hearts through the years. It is tradition that we give her a heart for her birthday, her grandpa Grymes started this tradition the year she was born, and we have continued it every year except one and it broke her heart. So I try to make them so they can be different. Sometimes it is hard to come up with something cute and different.
I love this one, hope she does too. The little toad in the bottom has a special meaning to her.

Kathy's Fight with the floor and toliet

Pretty sure Kathy did not win this one, but she has kept her spirits up. More than I can say I would do. She tells me it doesn't hurt as bad and it looks. But her broken arm does hurt.

too late to post pictures

I am testing to see if I remember how to do this, and it is too late to stay up to imput picitres tonght, hopefully I will update my blog this week
