Captain Lanny

Dinner at Disneylandry--the baloon man outfitted Lanny with a unique helmet and sword and belt. I got Lanny to give me a "momma" canned smile:)

Hot and Cold

Cilla was cold all day at Disneyland, and I got a little too warm and took off my sweater and let Cilla add it to her collection of winter wear. Cilla came without any money so I gave her $50 which she spent at the first store --hat, gloves, scarf.

More Memories

Now about 30 years later--looks as good as ever (she won't like me doing this on the blog but she doesn't know how to erase it :)

I wanna have long hair

Sommer was really slow to grow her hair--and quite impatient with the process, so she would create her own long hair with the help of a dishtowel and ponytail holder

Shea-be

Shea's hair grew very fast and even as a preschooler, she had a long beautiful head of red hair. All her life she has received compliments on her beautiful hair.

Where's the Beans

Spencer's favorite food as a little toddler was pureed green beans. When he was in his walker, he would always make a bee-line to the pantry and find the green beans.

Walk Down Memory Lane

Priscilla went through a bunch of old slides and had them put on to a disc so we can do a little walk through memory lane on our blog.

Little Livvy and Aunt Sommer

Livvy at 2 and 1/2 weeks old -- all the family impatiently waiting to take their turn in holding this precious little girl.

Pictures taken with my phone--so a little dark.

"Softy"

Chance wanted so much to hold his new little cousin, Livvy. He washed his hands and did everything he was asked to be able to hold her. Once in his arms, Chance turned into a "soft marshmallow" and was so gentle with his little cousin. Without prompting, he gave her a soft little kiss on her cheek (captured on film by grandma Cilla).

Pround Grandparents

Sunday we were given the best pre-Christmas present from Shea--a beautiful baby granddaugther, Livy. Livy was 6lbs. 8 oz. with lots of dark hair and everything else is perfect on her. Mother and daughter are both doing well.
