Daybreak Lake

On Saturday the family went to Daybreak, 

we took Grandma and Grandpa's paddle boat.

This is Dwayne, Macade, Kemrie and Grandpa fishing.

Lucy at the getting ready to get dirty

Kemrie eating snacks (yes this time it is oreo)

Lucy playing in the sand saying CHEESE. 

She was so dirty I brought a change of clothes, and it is a good thing.

I love this picture of Kemri and Lucy, I told Kemrie to come over and put her arm around Lucy so I could take a picture.  Well she did just that, but just in a different way.

We all had a great time and the weather was so good, I could not believe how warm it was.

Jello

Grandma Noonie gave Lucy some molds for Jello Jigglers, so Monday night for dinner Lucy and I made Jello, she wanted Orange. 

(her favorite color)

That night we had grilled cheese and jello, Lucy ate her grilled cheese into a phone, and talked to multiple people during dinner. 

I would say that is a pretty good little phone.

Lucy and Daddy

This is Lucy holding up her fingers to say she is 2. It is so cute, she still can't hold up 2 fingers. 

Lucy has become so much fun over the last few months, we are enjoying her more than ever!

Easter 2009

The Easter bunny was good to Lucy this year!

she got a baby and her Easter dress, and the bunny hid eggs all over the house.

Grandma Noonie spent the night at our house after the birthday party, because Easter was the next day.  After we found eggs at our house we went to Marc and Ammie's for brunch and Grandma and Grandpa put on a huge egg hunt.

Not really into finding eggs. Lucy stood on the sand box and Marc and Ammie's yelling "Ta-Da" while everyone else found eggs.

Later in the day we went to Kevin and Erika's house for dinner and an egg hunt, by now Lucy was getting it. Aunt Erika bought baskets and a movie, and hid eggs in the backyard. 

Lucy and Cole with the loot.

Little Lu turns 2!

Lucy's birthday is April 13, 2007, and her best friend ever, is her cousin Macade, who is born April 19th 2004. So This year for the combo birthday party, we went to the Living Planet Aquarium, they both love fish. Lucy's big gift was a fish tank with 2 fish, we named Opal and Glodie, after Chris' grandma Opal Goldie. Opal has since joined her family in "the sea" via the toilet, but Goldie is still going strong. Macade got a tank with 5 crabs for his 5th birthday. We ordered pizza and my sisters and I decorated 100 cookies in sea life shapes. It was a super fun party. We had many friends and family join us for a great day at the aquarium.

Thank you, to everyone who came to the birthday party!

Bestest Friends

The Stafford kids had no idea they were going on vacation, until they were on the way there. They spent 2 days in Vegas, the drove to San Diego, they checked into their room, and went for a walk..... While they were looking around, they saw Chris, while I was checking us in. YOu could hear all the kids "CHRIS." That right we flew down to meet them.

Lucy and Kemrie

Lucy and Ashton

Lucy thought it would be a good idea to lay down with Ashton, she really thought that she would get to sleep with him.

Macade and Lucy eating Cereal Straws, they could both live on them.


This was Kemries face when we walked out and she saw us.

While we were waiting to go to our room.

Breakfast with Elmo!

Sea World March 22, 2009

This is Breakfast with Elmo and Friends

Lucy could not wait to go in, she watched Big Bird get all set up.

Kemrie, Ammie, Ernie, Lucy and Michell

It was very rainy that day, made for a very bad hair day.
Lucy and Big Bird.

Lucy kissing Elmo's nose.

This is the closest Macade got any costume, he and Kemrie hate this,

Ashton was a really good sport, and Lucy was in pure heaven.

Lucy could not believe Elmo was right there.

This was a great thing, wegot to see all the friends, and the breakfast was not bad.

It saved so much time to just get everyone at once.

Hot Grandma Judy!

This is my Grandma Judy, so she is Lucy's great-grandma.

I call her Gram, most others call her Grandma, and when Ashton my nephew was born he started calling her Hot Grandma Judy.

And it has stuck ever since!

Ever since I can remeber, or anyone else for that matter, Gram has always put her hair up in "rollers." The rollers have changed over the years but not by much.

With Mothers Day coming up I wanted to take time to tell everyone how mch I LOVE my Grandma Judy, she is an AMAZING person and an even better Grandma. She always makes it to a few grandkid Baseball/Softball/Soccer/Basketball/Karate/Dance/Choir/Piano things each year. And with all the Great Grandkids she is just as good.
These are pictures of Lucy (ones I will treasure forever) putting up her hair in rollers with Gram a few weeks ago, Lucy also loves to wear gram's shoes all around the house. These are two things I still remeber doing as a very young girl and even into my teens.

Thanks Hot Grandma Judy for all the wonderful memories,

We love you 18 million!
