The kids are taking Papa for a ride in the truck.

In focusing on the kids, I cut off some faces. Oh well, its' all about the kids.

NOT ONLY ARE YOU CHOCK FULL OF "SMARTS"

and intelligence, look how beautiful you are!

OH MY GOSH

I am a LUCKY gramma....

so lucky....no make that fortunate... Luck has nothing to do with it... But sometimes I just feel like I hit the jackpot with these grandkids of mine. I was so happy to have Holly spend time with her cousins at Knotts.

And I am so THANKFUL that Seth, Annika and John came too because Papa and I would have been worn out!

ON THE SMALL TRAIN

Kenzie is being curious, Holly is kicking back enjoying the ride and Cayden is trying not to fall asleep.

ahh so cute

She's definitely looking out for traffic as she changes lanes, ha!

HOLLY TAKES DRIVING A SEMI TRUCK

Very seriously.

This was one of the favorite rides of the day with the kids. I think they went on it four times.

ONE OF THE FAVORITE SHOTS OF THE DAY

I had to use my desktop today because my laptop was being worked on my Mike, and the photos from yesterday had been put on my laptop.

I've been wanting to post this one as I think its' a cute cute photo of you Holly.

We sure enjoyed taking you to Knotts Berry Farm.

I love it when you would look up at me out of the blue and say "Hi Gramma"..

You would do that several times during the day while we were out.

Of course, that made my day!

PHOTO SHOOT IN THE YARD

They look so cute and dressed so similar. MacKenzie hadn't been up long from her nap so she's a little "out of it" still.

Look at those adorable hands.

HOLLY, A PHOTO OF YOUR DADDY

That has always been a favorite of mine. He was 5-year-old and your Uncle Sam had just been born.

IN CASE MOMMY AND DADDY ARE MISSING HOLLY

A few photos from today.

We so enjoyed her for the time we had her. She played in the yard, and later we went to Rainforest Cafe where she had a hamburger, banana, lots of broccoli and an ice cream sundae....I think she she that a lot.

She is growing up and talking so well. I was so surprised at how much older she seemed.

HOLLY...WHAT A SURPRISE WE GOT IN THE MAIL

Thank you so much for your wonderful drawing and what you wrote.

Since you will be here this coming week, we will have lots of time for stories and walks and doing some fun things together.

We will make sure you get to visit your cousins.

We're looking forward to spending time with you and see how grown up you are getting to be.

Grandpa and I love you a whole bunch!!
