Summer Time

(could my granddaughter be any cuter?) 

 We made a makeshift water slide that was fun. So was hide and seek.

Peyton trying out the vibrating vest Mia uses for her CF.

                                           Ally lines up her dolls and read them a story.

Peyton continues to emulate the characters in his life, including all of us.  The Gram Cam

April and May

Well, Gram Cam's computer is broken, hopefully I haven't lost all my wonderful pictures of my grandchildren but I thought I'd post this anyway.  The kids are such little sponges with so much curiosity its a joy to see the world through their eyes. 'til I get a new computer or fix mine The Gram Cam

March Madness 2011

The march cold has driven us all mad!!!! The kids, however, have remained as cute as can be. Peyton and Ally are wearing their hats indoors... Peyton is finding new ways to relax and exercise. He has even taken up reading the Wii book. Ally is learned the "say cheese" smile and..... (those are just rice krispies) the just chillin' out watchin' TV position. She also figured how the get her feet on the counter while belted tightly into the chair, I'm not sure how she does that. We're all looking forward to getting outside soon........ 'til then The Gram Cam

February 2011

The winter is driving us stir crazy!!!! Peyton found entertainment walking around in his underwear wearing grandpa's boots.




Playing Toy Story is still fun too, here's Buzz with Ham, Mean Monkey and Big Baby!!!

We found some new games, look out Buzz and Mario, there's a new kid on the block....Jake and the Neverland Pirates!!!!




Candy Land is a big hit also.





Ally continues to nurture her babies.





Also her brother.




She keeps warm with her kitty sweater.




I think this is some kind of warm weather dance.



Hoping for warm weather.

January 2011

January has been a challenge for everyone because of the cold weather and all the snow. Can't go outside in three feet of it when you're only a few feet tall. Maybe when it gets warmer we'll try. Meanwhile, we've been working on a few things. Peyton insists he needs glasses and has been lackadaisical in his computer work however, he did sign himself up as an "official member of Team Umizoo"!!!!and printed the official document that says so. He's learning how to spell his name and is very good with his letters. Ally's hittin' the books and letters also....but....

December

The holidays are finally over, the new year is here and I've had loads of fun with the kids. Ally's exploring my house and one of her favorite spots is playing with the shoes by the door. I see many shoes in her future. She's also learning her way around the kitchen and.... discovering popsicles help a bad hair day. Peyton is really into electronics. He especially likes the application on my iphone called 'Talking Tom' aka psycho kitty. Ally's even trying to play the Nintendo DS, she already knows how to open it. Before Christmas we put on our aprons and made cookies. Peyton was happy I finally put a button on the sweater he's been watching me make for him. He says its "berrie soft". The kids and Bigfoot want to wish Mommy and Daddy a Happy New Year. Until next year, The Gram Cam

Novembers gone

                                 It was warm enough to take one last lap around the sandbox                                                      and play in the leaves. Peyton is quite determined to learn Nintendo DS.....                                           Ally's determined to sit herself in this chair                                                          Just one leg left to go!!!! 
                       Peyton likes to put on my dishtowel like a cape and save the princess. Even Super Hero's need a nap. The Gram Cam
