It’s been a while since I posted pictures of some beautiful faces.  This is my youngest granddaughter Karli.  Those eyes…

This is my son Joseph.  He came out and spent a few days with us to give his dad a hand on a project that needed finishing.

And during the week I got to meet and fall in love with this special little girl named Cherrie.  She is the daughter of a friend of ours.

As you can see, I love hats, and I always have my camera ready to capture that perfect moment!  Took these pictures on a recent trip to my second home the mall.

Looks like we got side tracked in the hat department!

And our new little friend caught on real quick.

After more shopping, a ride on the carousel and some Menchie’s yogurt, we headed home.

But the fun was not over yet!  The next day it was time to play some more. Our neighbor’s daughter came over to hang out.  Isn’t she precious?

Finally, the theme for texture Tuesday is orange.  Got excited when I spotted these pretty orange flowers.

How bout dem apples?

 

Live Everymoment

 

Fabulous Friday

 

This weeks’ challenge for Live Every Moment is “organic”.  The first thing that came to mind were these organic apples I recently bought at Whole Foods.

This scrumptious and wonderfully delicious apples came all the way from Argentina!

 

IMG_0638w

I have never tasted a sweeter, crisper apple ever!

 

IMG_0650w

Sad to say when I went back to get more they were gone! Ugh… I was so disappointed.  The season for for Argentinian apples is over.

But, all was not lost.  I picked up some juicy ripe pears!

I would have to say this was one difficult challenge for me. 

All of my grandchildren have gorgeous eyes!

After looking through many pictures I choose this one.

I just love that sparkle that was captured in her beautiful eyes!

Summer Fun

Well, it’s been one jammed packed two weeks and now my grands are back in school.  This makes for a sad Grammy.  I’m missing them already. 

Thought I’d share some photos of the memories we made.

Grace went to swimming lessons at our YMCA and made some really neat friends along the way.

 

IMG_8353

We spent a little (OK…maybe a tad bit more than a little) time at the mall when the heat was just too unbearable, which was pretty often!

 

IMG_8096w

And my little “sweet tooth” Karli enjoyed some sizable treats on more than a few occasions! Well, maybe I spoil her just a little, but that’s what Grammy’s are for!

 

IMG_9124e

We rode the golf cart all around the neighborhood with Uncle Jordan !

 

IMG_9274

And, we acted like tourist (sun glasses and all) and went to visit the “old” State Capital and learned some interesting facts about the history of Louisiana.

 

IMG_9451e

And posed for a few (did I say a few?) pictures along the way.

 

IMG_7560e

We blew plenty BIG bubbles.

 

IMG_9129

And like all “big” girls we got to stay up way past our bedtime, and do silly fun things.  But keep this part quiet, because we don’t our moms to find out about our secret!

We got all dressed up and went to our Aunt Megan’s wedding!

Got our faces painted at the Craft Fair…

 

 

IMG_0372e

And Cole got to be his favorite Super Hero!

 

And Kayla even lost her 2nd tooth…

IMG_0341tex

While we were out shopping.  Yes, some of life’s most precious experiences can be those little things.

 

So now the summer is over, but it was memories like these that made the summer of 2011 one of the best summers we have ever had with Grammy!
