chutes n ladders with granmda mary

gg found charlie a 30 piece cookie cutter set (for being such a sport about having his finger growth cut off!!) jackpot for charlie. fyi, his finger is still quite gross! please keep it on your prayer list for a while. he still won't even wash that hand, much less use it for play!even Flo came out to see them! takes quite the friend to get her to come out from under the bed or out of the bedroom!

gg fixing a skirt for me, thanks grandma!

iz putting on a show (bubble wrap tap dancing..stomping!)

grandpa in my hat! looks good p paw!

inquiring about the farm set

we had a beautiful day! we had to take a trip to the neighborhood park!

reading books with grandma

always nice to have a superhero around! ;)

hmm.hailing & raining still! happy spring. we had quite the hail storm a few days ago. looked like it snowed. & then it stayed overnight! can you believe it? crazy weather. grandma barge & steph & the kids were here last week, they had spring break, was a wonderful visit. we went to omsi & played hard. going to head to grandma & grandpa barge's for a long easter weekend. but before then, we're picking up gigi & p-paw from the airport this afternoon!!! oh heavens, we're so excited!!! for a whole week they'll be staying with us. we have been looking forward totheir visit for such a while. we tried to get to oklahoma, but thought it would make more sense as far as visiting time for them to come to here. luke & rebecca will be here as will grandma mary! grandpa mike too! anyways. prayers for safe travels. prayers for great grandma betty & great grandpa pete too. stubborn ol' farmers are still staying put in their home! (they need to be in an assisted living facility!) (so just pray for what's best i guess!)

as for myself, i'm trying to spend a little time online each day. (HA) starting today!!..oh...maybe after our visit this week?! ....if you need to get ahold of me, please use my phone....i seem to be avoiding my emails!! (apologies for those i've missed!) anyways. love you..here's a few pics.

OH! we had so much fun! can't you tell!!..embassy suites for the night, just because. brian & i hadn't had a day off together in ages. & we took the boys swimming & out to the nearby mall play area too! they both had just a ball!!

cashin' in on ye ol' manager's special! can't beat free drinks & snacks for two whole hours ;), yeah.. two hours!!

charlie taught izzy the ups & downs of the elevator buttons!

bear claw (turquoise) bracelet~was given to me as a baby by GG!
