Rylee & Ruston Adventures

While we were celebrating with Grandma JeanAnn, Rylee & Ruston were headed in the other direction to Las Vegas to catch a flight to New York City. There final destination being Iceland. The flights weren't looking that great. Being flexible was the new game.

Is it hot or cold?
I think I would be still bundled up.

Love this!!

Time's up!!
Headed home in style that is first class style

Snug as a bug!
Getting some much needed rest.

We hope they had as great a time as their pictures showed. Rylee was able to celebrate her birthday in style. I'm just not sure how she will top this one ever.

We are glad they made it home safe. Ranger & Indy are ready to go home.

Happy 80th Birthday!!!

Not me at least not for another 21 years. It's Grandma JeanAnn's big day and we are going to celebrate her today. One minor delay a funeral scheduled before which set us back about an hour. We are now ready to party. But first we need to decorate.

Spring colors is the theme

He was content to follow her around as long as he had his animals.

I think everyone is a little tired.

Still time to get in my fruits & vegetables
for the challenge.
15 days to go!

Birthday card
picked out for grandma.

It was a great day celebrating a special lady with family and friends. It's great when we all get together in one place whether 1/2 hour or all day. We are lucky that we enjoy hanging out with each other. We definitely need to do this more often.

Good Morning!!

Time for more random pictures with a back story.

Good Morning!!
Rylee & Ruston wake up each day to this face.
Ranger came to visit and this is what greeted me each morning.
His nose gets him into trouble when he visits.

Scary!! Miss Indy
Not sure what is up with this scary face.

Sunday dinner, Reganne style

The rest of us enjoyed a more
traditional dinner of pot roast, potatoes, gravy, and corn.
We had guests today. We love it when Destiny & Ava come over.

Someone found my little rod iron bike.
Ava decided to give it a spin around the room.
She didn't fully understand why she couldn't make it go.

Fun fact...I have never tried home grown eggs.
Thanks to Fredy he was will to share.
Love his cool packaging.

Multi colored and great tasting
thanks Fredy for sharing.

Loving the many adventures this past week. Most of all hanging with family and friends.

Missing Bowl, Haircut, and Concert

Action packed week or weird week? You decide but I can tell you it's always a little weird around here.

Missing Creami Lid
Looked high and low in the pantry for this lid last week before making new smoothie bowls for the week.
Made the bowls and covered it with plastic wrap.
Started the search again and found it sitting behind the potato chips.

Look who got a haircut.
Nice and short to avoid the shedding soon to come as it warms up.
She has been a little chilly. Good news it grows back really fast.

Tuacahn stage
Fun night with my friends at the ABBA Tribute Concert

Awesome seats
Notice the little girl in the middle.
That is Liz's granddaughter Raylin. Security asked her if she liked to dance.

And she did!

I am exhausted!! It seems that I always have weird pictures and crazier stories that go along with them. They are always true. You can't make this stuff up. Am I the only one that feels like that?

They have swam together since they were 9 years old.
They love to compete against each other.
Depending on the event they trade off winning.

It was a fun night celebrating each one of these kids and their accomplishments this season. Whole lot of laughter tonight is better than shedding a few tears that this is coming to an end.

Finding Memories

I need to tackle my storage room. It's a mess from top to bottom. When someone needs to find something the mess from looking is not picked up. Today is the day to start.

One container dumped out for use elsewhere contained Rylee's kindergarten master pieces. They earned that title from a 5 year old who caught her mom throwing them away. Quick thinking we decided to put these master pieces in a plastic tub and keep for always and forever. 18 years later time to revisit the past.

Life size picture of the body.
This may not be from kindergarten after all.

A pilgrim with a
poem written on her dress.

A large scarecrow

Not a picture from a Topsy Tail
used daily with the girls hair.

You never know what treasures you will find while cleaning. Sent these pictures to Rylee to see what she wants to do with master pieces. She did remember making them but doesn't have any place to keep them.  A memory lasts forever with a picture as a reminder. It's time for these wonderful master pieces to be memorialized in a picture than making a mess in the storage room.
