Dance baby Dance...

Maddie is taking tap and ballet at the Centre of Performing Arts... along with her best friend and cousin, Bailey. I do hope she enjoys it.. and will continue... I have such fond memories of hanging out at the dance studio with Courtney... I want to be like Millicent when I grow up...she has such energy and is such a giving person...

Have you ever seen 2 such cuties?

Vacations Galore...

for my kids and their kids...

Rik, Cindy, the girls, Cindy's parents and family went to disney world last week... Sophia actually flew down with Sandy and Joe. Rik, Cindy and Maddie drove down. From the photos it seems everyone had a great time.

Courtney, Spencer and Zeke are at the beach with Spencer's family. I hear from a very reliable source that Zeke has no fear of the ocean. From the video and pictures Julie sent via cell phone this is true. I told you he was a sand person.. takes after his mama and Nana for sure!

Maddie, movies and more...

I took Maddie and Sierra to the movies yesterday. It was Maddie's first time going. I'm not sure if she was a fan of the movie but she sure did love the popcorn. An hour into the film she was asking to go back to my house. A visit to the bathroom for a potty break did wonders for the attention span... she discovered toilets that are self flushing.. a novel thing for her.. although I must admit they are still novel for me too!

I of course took pictures of the day as any self respecting YaYa would do *minus the bathroom break of course!*

Once we were home and had lunch Sierra and Maddie played in the pool PawPaw put up for the kiddies... I would love to say it's an inground but I'd be lying.. so, it's the next best thing for a 3 year old.. a blowup pool that is just big enough for her and Sierra to play in comfortably.

It's a BoY!!!

Although I want Courtney & Spencer to enjoy the trials and tribs of a daughter I couldn't be more thrilled to find out they are having another boy! Zeke will be an awesome big brother... I'm so excited to see their family expanding even though we don't see Courtney, Spencer and Zeke as much as we'd like ... Courtney assured Sierra she would have a girl one of these days...

Fun summer days...

Monday I went to watch Zeke... Sierra and Shelly went along.. after Zeke woke from his nap we went to the park down the street... Zeke loved the slide and swing but I think he loved getting his feet in the sand more.. That comes from his mama and his nana.. I can't stand sand... it was hot so we didn't stay long. When Courtney came home we all went to lunch... such fun !!!

Hurrah!!!

I've lost 2lbs ... so that's a total of 4 lbs since beginning Wii fit 36 days ago... of course, if you count the 6 lbs I was told I gained the first week then you can say I am still 2 lbs over... and still obese.. but I'm working on it every day...
Today I clocked in 30 minutes but only got credit for 15 because I stopped the free step after 15 minutes and 1300 steps!!! Wow... that's a good deal of exercise for me... add in the yoga and aerobics and I'm clickin' right along...Thank you kids and Rick for buying the set up for me... maybe this time I'll actually stick with it!

Windows Vista and me...

not so friendly.. I think they invented Vista just to annoy me... just when I have finally learned XP, Vista pops up on new computers.. now I have to train all over again... this old dog isn't good with change...

Thinking I should have paid Geek Squad to put everything back on the other computer... this one I think is too "high tech" for me ... hmmmmm.. add to that is the fact that my period key squeeks..... as you can see I use it a lot... so, squeak, squeak, squeak... all day.. every day... till the new keyboard arrives... AND, I don't even like the feel of this one ... it's like a laptop keyboard.. flat.. sigh.. today is my whine day I think.. so, I'm going to my corner to sulk...
