MY PRINCESS....JORDAN

Jordan was our first Grandchild.

I have always called my Princess and she loves to hear me say it.

She is starting to think about clothes and shoes.

YEP, she is my princess!

Jordan has been a joy in my life and I love her very much! She visited one day and had a top on with the initial S. I asked her why she was wearing an S instead of a J?

She said that they didn't have any J's so she bought the S and it stands for SWEET!

I love how she thinks!!!

CAMERON

Cameron is 5 years old.

He was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes when he was 3 years old.

He is doing great and does his own finger pricks.  I think that he adjusted to his diabetes better than we did.

His Mom and Dad have taken this in stride and do not treat him any different than they do the other 3 children.

Before he was diagnosed, he was difficult and didn't like to be hugged or loved by me. Now, he is the most loving child and I enjoy being around him and I love his hugs and kisses!

JORDAN, IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH

I just love this picture that I took of Jordan.

It was October and we had dressed her in her Halloween princess costume. We took her to the pumpkin patch where there were thousands of pumpkins on the grounds of the farm.

She walked and walked and climbed over pumpkins to find the "Right" one.

I looked the other way and looked back to see a exausted fairy princess sitting on a pumpkin in the middle of the patch!

I took this picture of Jordan and it is a priceless memory of that afternoon in October.

Michael

Michael...Bama, can I go in the back yard?

Bama...Yes, but stay away from the pool and birdbath.

Michael...O K, Bama

A little while later... I have been watching him play in the bird bath from the solarium and run to get my camera. He tries to hold the bird bath so he can look into the dirty water.The bird bath spills over on him and he runs for the door. Explaining that the bird bath just jumped all over him! It was very cool out that day!

THE FAMILY VACATION

We take a family vacation every 2 years and this is the year.

I told the girls last week and they are excited and so are their husbands.

John and I decided to take them to the beach on the Gulf Coast. I have rented a great place with a lot of room right on the beach.

We will need room with 8 adults and 7 children.

We went to Colorado to Ski on our last family vacation so the beach seemed like a good choice this year.

The trip is planned for August.

Sheri told her 5 and they are so excited. Jordan, 9 is already packing. She walked in the kitchen the other day and asked Sheri; Mom, which bathing suit should I take? Sheri bought her 3 after season last year and told Jordan that she could take all three.  Jordan said, Yea, I can look good every day.

Melissa has decided to keep the news from her two. She said that they would drive her crazy so she will wait until a week before the trip.

We will make a lot of memories the 2nd week in August and have a lot of fun at the beach!  I will take pictures and share them with all of you!
