Visiting and an Emergency!

Jenn and David came to visit everyone while I was here in CA. Julia had bought some curly hair extensions and was fooling around with every one's hair. Isn't Lexi cute? it looks sooo real.... here is belle and Julia. She loved the curls....

here is my handsome grandson Logan. He loves the outside! he is out there as much as possible. Well........ just as Jenn, David and Lexi were arriving, Logan was outside on his scooter. he fell.... he was in shorts. and of course his knee hit a rock just right! OUCH!!!

it was quite deep. took a big chunk out of his knee. Now, if you know me, you know I don't do blood. Logan was quite protective of me and kept saying, Grandma don't look. after Trina cleaned it up, she asked me to check it out to see if it needed stitches, OK, deep breath... breathe...... OK, look! oh owie!!! it looked pretty deep to me too. so off to the doctors they went. however, Mike's truck was in the shop, Mike had Trina's car, so Jenn and David took Logan and Trina! LOL..... No stitches. the rock took everything away, so there was nothing to stitch. also, being the knee he would have pulled the stitches out. that sounds pretty bad. so they cleaned it really well. I am sure that it hurt more than the stitches would have. through it all, Logan did just fine. very brave.

Jenn and family left Sunday after a big yummy breakfast. it was great to see them....

love ya kiddos....

Vaulting

Hi everyone! Julia - my granddaughter in CA. has fallen in love with vaulting. I am not really sure what it is, but it reminds me of the circus and the girls with tutu's riding and standing on top of a horse. I would imagine you have to have excellant balance. which apparently our Julia has! This horse is very big. I mean really big! and BLIND! Julia says he is the most gentle horse she has ever seen. Julia explained that the horse is attached to a pole with a rope. that makes it so the horse goes in circles. Julia said the other day she was standing on the horse and made it around 21 times! WOW way to go sweetie! Here is Julia and Isabell, little Bell has fallen in love with the horse too. Lowell is riding too, but I don't have any pics of him. sorry sweetie!

Here is Julia again. you can see how big the horse really is!

here she is on her way to standing.

here she is riding backwards. you can see the rope to the horse. Mercy Julia, you are one brave girl! You are doing a great job!!!

love ya sweetie....

Julia graduates 5th grade!

I can't believe our Julia is in (I should say was!) 5th grade! I remember her visiting me during halloween at the office I worked at, as Tinkerbelle! Mercy, she is sooo pretty, and looks so much like her mom. which means she looks like me! LOL! We love you sweetie! We are sooo proud of you!

enjoy....
