What a nice surprise

I had a surprise visit from Ethan and Addie tonight~
with flowers in hand..........
How adorable is this!!
The flowers were home grown (made) by Ethan and they now have a new home on the hearth on my fireplace.
I'll think of you Ethan and Addie every single time I look at my beautiful bouquet!!
Thank you for letting me be your "church Grandma"!!
I adore these kids!!

Someone's in the hospital..............

Poor Sean, been in the hospital for a couple of days now~
This is a picture of him in the ER.......
His head is above the top of the bed and his feet are hanging way
OVER!!
Once they got him admitted and into a room they put him in a bigger bed, thank goodness!!
He's fighting an infection with very strong antibiotics that can only be administered in the hospital. He's been pretty sick for a few days but I think he finally on the mend...
Meghan's a trooper and has stuck by his side day and night!
We love you Sean and Meghan too!!

Especially for Natalie...........

Meet Natalie~and Samuel, our #6 Great grand~!!

Tradition is......

when you have your first Great grand I gift you a Designer diaper bag from


and since Natalie hasn't ever seen her bags before,

here's a picture of mine. I've had it for 5 or 6 yrs and I still use it ever single Sunday to carry my scriptures, gum and other necessities~

(like treats for some of the kids in our ward and for Sweetiepie, too).

So, Natalie~let me know what fabrics you pick and I'll get it ordered for you!

Can't wait to see and hold that sweet babe of yours!!
