Josh's Birthday Cake.... Day 2

The kiddos enjoying another piece of Josh's birthday cake. Great thinking to have them eat the cake out on the deck.

Evan liked the cake the most. He is too cute.

Josh's Birthday

Grandson Joshua turned 5 years old. He requested that Pappy G bake him a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, strawberries and a Spiderman toy.

Here is Josh with his Mommy and sister as Josh gets ready to blow out his number 5 candle. We also played Captain Zoom's Happy Birthday Joshua CD for him.... this is a tradition in our family.

Evan loves to eat cake and chocolate is his favorite. He is having a great time eating the big piece of chocolate birthday cake. And.... Pappy G makes the best tasting cakes!!!

Josh got a Pogo stick for his birthday. He was so cute just before he got to open all of his presents. Josh said, "This is just like a dream." His birthday was very special. Alisson took cupcakes to his kindergarten class and and then she took Josh and his best friend Chad to lunch at the University with Josh's daddy, too. Then, we took Josh to out for his birthday dinner. We went to DQ. We sat in a booth with a window so Josh could see a train if one came by. When a train came down the track, Josh was so excited to see it. Happy Birthday to a special 5 year old boy!!!!! Love you Josh!!!

Tyler Stands Up

Big Brother Evan is showing Tyler how to do it. This is Tyler's first time to stand up. He will be walking before we know it. Tyler has a good role model or a partner in crime...just kidding. They have a wonderful relationship.

Wait and See

Romans 12:12 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer"

With the doctor's "wait and see" with baby Ava Grace..... this has been my constant connection with God and feel such peace and comfort. Keep the prayers coming for Alisson, baby Ava Grace and all of the family. Thank you and love to all of you.

Waiting for Josh

Here are Kori, Evan and Tyler waiting for Josh to come home on the bus from his first day at kindergarten. Tyler decided to ride with Evan..... not really. Daddy Terence put him on the trike and told Evan to hold on to him. Evan looks so sweet with his arms around his baby brother. Just another cute picture of our grandchildren.

A Happy and Beautiful Family

This photo was taken at Terence's brother's wedding a few weeks ago. Terence was in the wedding and had to leave early. We helped Alisson get the 4 kiddos ready for the wedding. It was fun. Pappy and I stayed with the kiddos at the hotel during the reception. We spent the night with them and took them to breakfast in their pj's. We are praying for baby Ava Grace as she has some possible significant issues.

GrandKiddos Start School

Josh had his first day of kindergarten yesterday. I hope his kindergarten teacher was ready for him. Josh may be thinking... "Look out kindergarten... here I come."

Today was Kori's first day of First grade. She had her outfit picked days ago and could not sleep last night.... she was so excited. We are very proud grandparents!!!

Grandson Caden is Six Months Old

Caden really likes his exersaucer. His legs are getting stronger.

Our big boy Caden.

Happy Caden.

Is his foot now his favorite toy???? Grammie and Pappy G love you soooo much Caden!!!!!

9 Month Old Photo

I went with Alisson today to have Tyler's 9 month old picture taken. It was so difficult to choose which photo we liked best. He is so photogenic and smiles with his eyes. I have already hung up this new 8x10 picture on our family portrait wall in the hallway. He is just too cute and sweet!!! I am waiting for a 5x7 and a couple wallets. As I always say, "Grammie loves you Tyler."

Precious Little One

Just another cute picture of Caden Zachary. I love him sooo much.

Time With the Little Boys

Our mornings last week started with the boys having breakfast. Tyler had his baby cereal with fruit and Evan always wanted Rice Krispies---- he ate 3 bowls each morning. I had Pappy get the high chair down again from the attic. As I told some friends, it probably does not meet current safety standards, however, I am always right there with Tyler. Evan is watching Sesame Street on the TV in our kitchen.

Cute Tyler just playing.

Last week, each morning I got to have Evan and Tyler at my house while their Mommy taught VBS. I had so much fun with the boys. We did the pool 2 days and just played the other days. They are so easy to take care of and way too cute. I feel so lucky and blessed to live so close to 4/5 of my grandchildren. I love when Tyler smiles at me.

The Four Generations

Four very special men in our family.

Caden Is Five Months Old

We were so glad that we could visit Caden, Zach and Laurie again for a few days. I love how precious Caden looks when he is sleeping. He really likes his little yellow ducky blankie.

Caden is five months old and is continuing to show development and strength. We are so thankful to God for Caden's progress.

Just another cute picture.

A beautiful family!!! We cherish the times we can share with them.

Caden is so special to his Grammie and Pappy.

Fun With Caden

Grammie playing with Caden and doing exercises to cross his midline.

Caden really likes the game Stretch it out and then give yourself a hug. Another activity to have him cross the midline and make those brain connections so important at this early age.

Caden is wearing his Cleveland Indians outfit which his Pappy was happy to see. Caden is just independently playing and he loves the teething toy that Great-Aunt Bon and Great-Uncle Charlie gave him.
