Fun in the Park

Mimi, Pop Pop, Mason and Mia gave Mommy and Daddy a night out. So, the four of us went to dinner and had a play date at the park. A fun time was had by all!

 

This one about gave Pop Pop a heart attack because he was concerned about Mia getting germs. Please Pop Pop...... a little dirt never hurt anyone!

Mia loves her big brother so much and just laughs at anything he does.  We couldn't resist getting a video of her little laugh!  She had everyone laughing at her.

Our little kids were so good.  We had only one little mishap.....  that was when Mason quickly had to go poop.  I left Mia in the tunnel with Pop Pop watching her and took off running with Mason to find the bathroom.  When we came out, Pop Pop was a little frazzled because Mia decided she wanted out and he had to go in after her!  I would have liked a video of that!

An "Annigrocery" to Remember

It is amazing how technology is changing our children! My 3 & 4 year old granddaughters can work an iphone or an ipad with such ease. Here lately, every time I see them with the ipad, they are watching Betty Crocker tutorials on decorating cakes. They take turns choosing the cake and both sit and watch together as another creation is made. They would sit for hours if you let them.

I have always enjoyed creating "dream cakes" for my grandchildren and they love being able to tell me what cake they want for their next birthday. So, now you can just imagine how that changes from one day to another.

Pop Pop and Mimi are celebrating their 35th anniversary this weekend and the girls wanted to come over and bake a cake to celebrate. After looking at all of the cake pans to choose from, they decided that a "princess cake" would do the trick. Really, it is a barbie cake, but, I guess Barbie can be a princess too!

After baking the cake together and letting it cool. I prepared the icing bags and let them each have one. What a great time they had!

It is a good thing that we were the only ones eating this cake! Because fingers and licks were all over it! But, that just made it sweeter to me!



I think that we have finally finished the icing.....


But, we are not finished yet..... Everybody knows that a cake is just not a cake without some SPRINKLES.

When finished, their daddy, Mitch asked them why they made the cake and Haylee (the youngest) said..... Happy Annigrocery! And, as far as I am concerned.... the cake along with these flowers from Mason and Mia....

made it the best one yet! It is such fun to be Mimi & Pop Pop!

Girls Pajama Party

Friday afternoon, I was walking in the door after work and Pop Pop handed me the phone. It was Rylee calling me.

Here is how the conversation went....

Mimi: Hi, what are your doing?

Rylee: Nothing.... Do you have plans?

Mimi: No

Rylee: Well, you do now!

Mimi: I do.....doing what?

Rylee: We're bored..... we want to spend the night.

Mimi: It's okay.... when can daddy bring you?

Rylee: Now

So, let the pajama party begin.......

We rolled our hair in socks to see if it would work. Mimi saw it on http://www.cutegirlhairstyles.com/ under sock rollers. It worked, but, the curls did not stay long because we did not use any curl enhancers like the website said. But, it was still fun!

We popped popcorn, watched Mr. Popper's Penguins and woke up and made heart pancakes for breakfast. Time went by so fast that we forgot to take pictures of our hair!

Oh well, that just means that we will have to do it all over again!

Don't let life pass you by!

Surprise..... I am back! Life has been and continues to be crazy! But, as crazy as it is, you never know what is coming your way. One thing after another is always being thrown your way and if you are not careful..... hours, days, weeks, months or even years pass you by. That is what happened to me and now I realize that I need to get back to my blog. So much has happened and I have captured pictures along the way, but, never have taken the time to post them. I have a new grandaughter and have not posted the first picture of her. What kind of Mimi is that? My grandkids are growing up before my eyes and I want to have this blog be my scrapbook of events in our lives. So, I vow to go back to my pictures and start posting my past items! But, from this day forward, I will post current items in a more timely manner. Keep checking back!
