Boring Winter trip in 2010!

St Thomas is a beautiful place to be and a great place to visit but I never wish to live there! I could go back often but - really I just don't want to live there.  I love my home and enjoy the seasons (well, maybe not the ice and snow outside right now)!  The temp there never varies!  It really is the same - all the time!  Boring.  Nice but still boring!
I will share a few of our very boring vacation pictures.

OK - you're right - it wasn't ALL that boring.  We really did have fun!

and yes, this IS where we stayed!

and this was the view from where we ate the last night there...
and yes...




I guess you are right - it was not all that boring!
and yes we will go back!

St Thomas here we come

Look for picture updates while we are gone.
This is a picture from our last trip!

More of "Like Mommy, Like Daughter

I mentioned earlier how our other granddaughter is just like her Mommy so I thought I would share a few photos with you...

OK - sometimes it's a real baby but mostly - baby dolls!

NOTE:  Mommy holding real baby
Sienna holding dolly! She can't even leave the doll home long enough to fill her pumpkin with those delicious little sweets!

Are you getting the picture now???  There is definitely a pattern here.

I am just cracking up!  Are you tired of these "Like Mommy, Like Daughter" pictures yet?

I just keep finding more!

Well, she lined them all up behind her!

Fashion queen! You gotta see this

We have a fashion queen in our family and designers everywhere get ready!  Her fashions will blow your socks off!
Here are just a few and I'm sure her mother could provide a few other great photo shots!

Here is the first and yes - I admit this is not bad, but really, does she need that big of a bow?

Yes - I know- not terribly exciting yet - but read on because they get really good from here on out.  She was destined to set fashion trends from the very beginning!

It's getting better - but keep watching!

There is always a need for new ideas in fashion eyewear - right Todd and Kathy?

A cool weather wrap of course - every girl needs one!

For that once in a lifetime princess ball - the perfect outfit

Oh yes, the 95 degree day hat is in order.

For your Mexican Fiestas

Here's one of my personal favorites!

I'm not sure what she has on but I'm pretty sure I don't want it.

This girl just likes dress up!

They say all fashions come back around sooner or later but I'm not real sure the 60's was the one we wanted to rotate!

We can't forget the sports fashions as well.

Here we go - the belle of the ball.  Every woman knows that she needs a fireman's hat with her gown!







Like I said - she loves to dress up and you never know what she will come up with next!

Flashbacks? Is that what you are feeling?

Have you ever gone to one of those movies where they keep flashing back to the past or to the future?  I have and they are sooo confusing.  Well, I'm sure you are having that feeling as you read this blog! That's what you get when someone starts a blog in the middle of their life and they try to catch up with the past in the blog.  If you are trying to keep up, well, I have blogged about our first grandchild and our fourth grandchild being born.  Very confusing because there were two in between and the 1st and 3rd belong to one family and the 2nd and 4th belong to another one.

Have I lost you yet?  Well, hang on and hopefully you will figure it all out - I'm hoping I do!

Here, maybe this will help....

This is #1 and she was born in 2006 and she is the one born half way around the world.

Here is #2 and she was born in 2007 here in the USA! Yea - she was a whole lot easier to go see!  

#3 wasn't far behind and it was so much fun the way the kids told us we were going to have another grandbaby!  Of, course they were still half way around the world so we got a message by email with this picture...

January 08 brought our little grandson and guess what? He was born in the US but still pretty far away!  Here we were in the middle of the US and they were on the coast.  Don't get me wrong - I'm really glad they were back in the US but it still seemed so far away!   trust me - he looks like a little angel but he is ALL boy!  (and yes I made the little hat he is wearing!)

Well, I almost have you up to date on the grandbabies!  

Here comes # 4 and she was born in 2009.  What fun we have now with family get togethers!  and I'm sure there will be more!  Yikes - how did my mom do it when we all got together?  ( oh yes, once again - I made the hat and I even made the sweater--I'm getting better!  You didn't know I had domestic skills, did you?)

Next post I will show you some pictures of what wonderful big sisters both of the oldest have become! until then...
