My Son's Two Youngest Boys

My son's boys..Joe who is 9 and Steven who is 5, went to a new school this year .

This morning I went over to get them to the bus stop. Everyone is gone from home

by 7:45 AM and these two don't catch the bus until 8:45 AM

The youngest boys go to the same school.

Joe is so sweet and kind. Steven is sweet and going

all the time.

Two weeks from today, we'll be traveling. woohoo

First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for most schools here.

My oldest daughter Nicole, sent her boys off today.

Caleb the smaller guy is going to school for the first time

He's 5 (6 in October)

Cole's first day of 3rd Grade was today . He's just 8 & my sweet redhead guy.

The boys have two different schools...so Caleb was a big boy by himself.

K-2nd go to one school and 3rd to 6th go to another school.

I pray they had a great day.

I'll see what adventures my son Steve's boys have,when they start Tues. & Wednesday. All

my grandsons are starting a NEW school this fall as they all moved this summer.

Happy Back to School

My Oldest Grandson

Here he is..off to get a Team Football Photograph.

He starts High School Monday.

He is awesome!!

Zachary is 15, plays football and baseball . He is 6ft 2.5 inches shuffles between

185 and 200 lbs.. He ROCKS!!

and he loves me. He LET me take this picture.

He is a blessing. (I have six grandson blessings)

A Wonderful Surprise

Venice

Ireland

Some of you may know (from my post last year) my dream to go to Ireland.

My wonderful hubby, Rich has done all the planning

and arrangements ..and WE ARE GOING.

We'll be leaving in September..going to Italy & Ireland.

I've never been out of the country before and I am so

excited.

Our flight going to Italy and coming back

from Ireland are long. I know I can do it. I told

my Oncologist we were going and she gave me some

meds to take with me.

We'll be gone for quite a few days..our fat kat will be

staying with my older daughter, so we don't need

to worry about her.

I am not taking my laptop with me, Rich is taking his.

I will have my camera and a cell phone that works

abroad. (so will Rich)

I feel sooooooo blessed to be able to live my dream, we are

not wealthy by far, but we found a way to fund the trip ..I may not live

forever, so we want to go now.

We'll see Vatican City , kiss the Blarney Stone & lots of

fun adventures.

Please pray for safe travel for us.

Much love to all of you and thanks for your prayers that

have made me healthy enough to travel.

Do You See Patterns of Behavior Here

Cole turned 8 on July 30th. He's my oldest daughter's oldest son.

so we had a small party , just us girls, for him.

This is Bunny, he/she belongs to Nicole.

Both the boys have bunnies too.

Caleb's bunny is Bunny's dad. Cole said..Bunny is Caleb's bunny

brother and dad.. OMG he was right.

Caleb took this picture. He'll be 6 in October.

Me, Nicole, Cole & Bunnty & Nicole's room mate, Ashley.

Ok, now notice the BOYS.

Cheesing

Notice the boys again.

Are you seeing patterns yet?? Caleb is jumping!!!!!!

I just love this guy!! but he's Nicole's pay back .

My dad said to me lots of times

"wait till you have kids"

(my dad has been gone one year on Aug. 5th, dearly missed by us)

Cole has some NEW teeth.

Do you see?? Cole is quiet and sweet.

Caleb is one crazy boy, makes gramma so

stressed sometimes..I feel sick.

No matter what comes with grandkids..you can

always love them and leave them.

PS ..I had two Mojitos at Nicole's and

I got stopped for speeding..doing 54 in

a 40 MPH zone.. I KNOW better..but I

felt so free. Had rock music on and the windows

down and I have HAIR.

He said "oh you weren't speeding too much, I'll

just write you a warning" WOOOH I was so glad

but I deserved a ticket..

TeeHee..till next time
