Grandkids photos

I took the grandkids to the mall for a photo shoot. So cute!!

Grandkids!!

Little Noah - Amazing!

Missing Grandpa!


Kevin was iced in Manila and missed the photos of grandkids/grandparents, but I sat in for a few photos.

Helpers!

Savannah and Jaxon "help" me clean the bathroom. So much fun. It was magical.

Megan's birthday!

10-23-2011, with Megan - there better be chocolate!! Little Noah helped with the candles.

Harvest

Nate gives a famous "Franck back rub" while Jacob peels/cores apples. We made dehydrated apple slices, apple juice, apple jelly and apple pie filling. Fun and delish!

Pic a nic basket


Yard sale purchase for $3.00 - I painted the lid - priceless.

Wheelbarrel boy



how cute is he?!?!?!?

Noah helper-boy



Little Noah helps Grandpa (papa) with the new rocked in area between the Reed's house and ours. We had flowers in there but the weeds took over. I forgot to take an "after" photo but I will. Kevin - and David - picked up some decorative rock (Kevin found an ad that if they took the rock off the fireplace they could have it free). Doesn't the one photo of Noah's footprints remind you of the commercial where the little boy walks in the wet cement?

Enjoying the castle

Noah and Steph in the castle. Noah says a prayer on his oatmeal!!

Cinder-FELLA




Poor Cinder-Fella has to do all the work, but we know he is really a Prince!!

MUD PIES




Savannah and Jaxon making mud pies! Savannah was much neater than Jaxon - he just wanted to cover the Toy Story characters in mud. Savannah made 2 mud and rock pies. Fun stuff!

Oh, what do you do in the summertime...





Castle, Grandkids and popsicles


Didn't Kevin do a great job on Castle Curtis?

Inside Castle Curtis

Seen here are two of the eight walls of the castle, gowns and dining table, and the painting of Puff,


I painted the ceiling like the sky with butterflies.
One wall has a family tree, grandchildren put their name on a leaf and get measured on the trunk. Another wall has the Princess vanity. Most of these items I found at yard sales!




Noah turns 31!!




Noah's birthday was on a Sunday this year. We celebrated with family and friends. I cook Venezuelan food -kinda.
Brendan brought a pinata, they spun David so much that he lost his balance, it was hilarious.

Elder Curtis


Bert turns 20 in Chalmette, LA

trip to Yosemite




Our Motor Home away from Home. Although she broke down on us outside of Ely, Nevada and we lost a day in Yosemite getting a new fuel pump she was fun to travel in and the bed was comfortable. Jake reserved us a great campsite and doesn't he look good in his uniform? He loved showing off his little nephew. The weather was perfect and Tuolumne meadows is beautiful. Noah, Steph, Noah and Ben went with us and they were good sports and fun to have around.
