A Great Saturday!

I love Saturdays! Our day starts with babysitting Bailey and Charlee and we totally look forward to it every week!

Today was a Great Saturday! Bailey is growing fast and today was an extra fun day with her - Here's a short video I got of her this morning:


I got video of Charlee also, but having trouble converting it to files usable and it takes so long - I need to find a better converter program - I will add them later! It was so precious - She was flitting/dancing around like a little Dancing Princess!!

As you can imagine - after babysitting, Pap is WORN OUT!! lol - Charlee sure keeps him going!

Today, Sunday, Dave and I, Heather and Alan headed to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, FL. It a great festival and I always look forward to the Make Your Own Strawberry Shortcake and that was our first stop - as you can see:MMMMMMMMMMMM So, Good!!!

The weather is getting warmer and soon we will be heading to the beach or the pool! So glad the cold weather has past! Looking forward to a fun summer!

Bubble Wrap!

We always look forward to Charlee coming over for a sleepover - and we got to have one this weekend!! After we brought her here, she found a sheet of bubble wrap I had - and you'd have thought we had given her the moon!!
She'd sit and pop them, then lay it out and run back and forth just popping them and laugh! Well - I already know what to get her for Christmas - hahaha!

It was so fun to watch - and even more fun to do it with her! It's fun to act like a kid now and then - that's why we love having her come over - we get to be kids again!


When we have a sleep over, Dave (Pap) blows up the big air mattress and Charlee just thinks it is so cool - we have pizza, watch TV and just play - last night she had Dave playing with her Cinderella doll - and he totally gets into it! lol

Before she came over for our sleep over, we watched Charlee and Bailey at their house, as we do every Saturday. Charlee is always such a big helper and was helping me by brushing Bailey's hair - she is such a good Big Sister - Bailey couldn't be any luckier!!
Bailey is starting to really reach for things and hold things now. She was holding onto her butterfly teether type toy for the longest time and would of course put it right in her mouth! lol
I still cannot get over how much she looks like Justin! I'm going to have to scan some pictures and put them up here - it's so neat to compare the similarities! She's such a pleasant baby too and is starting to "talk" back and smile! and a BIG milestone - she is starting to roll over! Justin and Krista noticed that she rolled from her back to her belly the other day, but didn't "see" her do it. I did see her do it yesterday - she got over and has not yet figured out to pull her arm out from under her! I did get a picture, though, as she started to roll over!
Gosh, I am just loving being a Grandma - can you tell?

We had a great day today. Heather and Alan, and Justin and Krista, all came over for dinner today! I always love when we can all get together and enjoy an afternoon together and have dinner and just hang out! Heather and Alan got here first and her and I got to make a few cards before we had to clean up the table for dinner. Usually when they are all together Justin and Alan end up on the lanai playing guitar and singing - nothing different today! I love listening to them.

So now the house is nice and quiet - it was a good, busy weekend.

We are so, so blessed.

Love,
