Visit to see the California Grandkids

While Walt's hunting I jetted off to California to 
see Amy and her family.  They are usually booked
solid with baseball and other activities, but this time
was kind of an unusually laid back week.
 Cade and his friend were making Spanish masks for
their Spanish class.  This one is of Cade that his
friend made 
 and this one is of his friend that Cade had to make.
They had to sand them down and paint them still
Cade got sick while I was there and they didn't get 
the masks finished until after I got home.  
So no picture of the finished product!
 They watch TV a little strange in California
 not just boys either
 This is Payton's cozy spot while we are at the table
doing homework or playing games
 Sometimes it's harder to play cards than other times
 "Come on Cade, get done with your homework so
we can play."
 Lots going on right here at home
 Amy cuts Cade's hair and Payton's

 One day while we were out, we came home to Payton
stuck behind the cushion on the couch.  Don't know 
how long he was there, or if he only found out he
was stuck when he tried to get up to greet us
 She even clips nails, what a gal
 Cade making muffins for breakfast

 When Cade gets off the computer I guess it's Payton's turn
Had a great time! (Even if I caught Cade's cold)
Masks finished  Yeah!!

Visit from Ellie & Pete

Brooke and the kids came over so Brooke could go out to 
lunch for a friend's 40th birthday and to celebrate Walt's
birthday a little early
Of course Gram has all these little vehicles to try out again

  Ellie has been riding a 'balance bike' in their yard for a while
but the driveway is so steep that it's hard to get much time in.
Then Brooke and Ellie saw this bike along side the road on their
walk with a FREE sign on it and brought it home.
They took it to the park one day and Ellie just got on it and
road away.  
 Go Mom!  Brooke rode the bike down the driveway 
 and Ellie rode it back up
 All while Pete quietly napped
 Now Pete is on the 'balance bike'
 He loves it

 Ellie did a craft for Daddy
She actually picked all the stuff up later
 I'm sure Daddy will love it
 Celebrating Pa's birthday with an apple pie
 Pete wants to be a cat for Halloween and I 
wanted to see if he was going to be okay with
the cat face painted on.  He was!

More outside time before heading home and before the
rains start!!

Thanks for the Visit!!  Loved it
