COUSINS

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN PUTTING THE GIRLS TOGETHER. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT SIENNA HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS CLOSE TO THE TWINS AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN SEEM TO MIND. WE JUST DIDN'T THINK THAT CHLOE WOULD LIKE IT YET.

CHLOE WAS GETTING SO TIRED OF PICTURES THAT SHE IS ALITTLE CROSS EYED OVER THE LIGHTS. CHLOE TURNED 3 WEEKS OLD .

THE SMITH'S COME TO TOWN

Last week, we got the pleasure of having AJ, Meg and Sienna come stay with us in Mesquite. As you can tell, flying wasn't the highlight of their trip. But the sun was a huge plus.

We had fun, going to the duck pond and feeding the ducks and birds...we went for walks and checked out the neighborhood.




Sienna has a new expression, when you asked her to show her "funny face" she really puckers up. We are not really sure where this came from. But it sure is cute. Grandma has a hard time warming up, but when I do get my chance, it is picture time.
Thanks, guys, for a great week...Please come again soooooon!

I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND WHAT DID I SEE...

Oh, how I wished it was popcorn popping on my apricot tree...that would mean Spring is here. But instead it is hundreds of Snow Geese. They are back!!! We planted fall grain around the house and they are loving the green stuff. Hopefully it doesn't kill the plant and ruin our crop, so far they haven't hurt anything except where they pad the wet ground down with their webbed feet. It is fun to watch them. In a couple of weeks, there is a big one or two day hunt to kill some of them off before they head up north. I say "Fly Geese Fly...NOW"

FOUR LITTLE DARLINGS

I have to have a little bragging rights...being a grandma is the best! My
picture of Chloe is taken when she was two days old.

This picture of Sienna was taken when she is 15 months old and the twins are almost 5 months old.

Sienna has finally found out how to get into Grandma's candy drawer, but she really likes the pasta shells more than the candy.

The twins are growing, not real fast, but they are now 9 lbs 2 oz and 9 lbs 6 oz. Haley has outgrown Kelly, but they are staying pretty much together in size. They are going to be blessed on March 7 in Oak City.

We have been so very blessed in our family!

LITTLE MISS CHLOE IS FINALLY HERE

We are so excited to have our 4th grand-
daughter born. Chloe
Christensen
was born on
January 29,
2010 at 10:15
a.m., weighing
in at 6 pounds
7 ounces. She
is beautiful, as
is her great mother. DeAnna did so well through delivery, only about 5-6 hours long. By the time I got there, DeAnna was looking so chipper and darling that I couldn't even tell she had just had a baby. Chase, on the other hand, is so on top of the world I don't think he will ever come down. Way to Go, You two!!! (three)

Happy Birthday to Chris...

I just had to post this little poem that my friend gave me on my birthday...(I think she knows me well). Thanks, Jenifer

MY FORGETTER

My Forgetter's getting better
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke.

For when I'm "here" I'm wondering
If I really should be "there"
And, when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer!

Oft times I walk into a room,
Say "what am I here for?"
I wrack my brain, but all in vain
A zero is my score.

At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, Gee!
The person it is safest from
Generally, is me!

When shopping I may see someone,
Say "Hi" and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away
I ask myself, "who's that?"

Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy
and that isn't any joke!
