Grandparents Day...Again

Yesterday was Grandparents Day at Hunter's school. They don't have a program like Madi's school did...but...you do get to eat lunch with them!
Hunter is probably the pickiest eater I know so I knew that the hot lunch of pizza, salad, breadsticks, cookie and milk was not something that he would want...well maybe the breadstick and cookie! So I stopped at Wendy's and got him some chicken nuggets and fries...An All American Lunch...or at least Hunters.
After lunch we had our picture taken and then he took me to his classroom to see his desk and the things that he was working on.
Thank you Hunter for asking me to share Grandparents Day with you! I LOVE YOU and I LOVE BEING YOUR GRANDMA!

ps...picture to come soon!

Tomorrow is Jacob's Birthday. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this sweet little boy. He is such a sweetheart. Jacob's mommy had this fun idea of having a one on one "SPECIAL BIRTHDAY" for each of her children this year...and I am so lucky that she asked me to go with them...so today we are leaving for San Diego...and tomorrow for his
"SPECIAL DAY" we will be eating lunch with Shamu...yes, we are spending the day at Sea World...How fun is that?
Jacob is so excited!
Happy Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!
Thanks, Carrie for including me

Grandparents Day...

Have I mentioned before...That I LOVE being a GRANDMA? Yesterday I went to Madi's school for a Grandparents Day Program. I have to tell you that I did get a little teary eyed when they sang This Land is your Land...and God Bless America! Each child in the 2nd grade spoke about Grandparents. Yes, I will say it again...

I LOVE BEING A GRANDMA!

I love sharing in my Grandchildren lives and I am so excited when I am asked to attend Dance Recitals, School Programs, Soccer Games, Gymnastics, Disneyland, Sea World, Birthdays,

Primary Programs...ETC...

Thanks Madi for the SPECIAL DAY!

I Love You!

Happy St. Patricks Day...

Here is a fun recipe to make for St. Patricks Day. They really are good! I am not a big sauerkraut lover but these were quit good...and pretty mild!
ENJOY !


Reuben Swirl Rolls

A deli favorite, these delicious Reuben Swirl Rolls are bursting with flavor.

Prep Time: 20 min
Bake Time: 25 min
Skill Level: Intermediate
Servings: 8

8 Rhodes™ Dinner Rolls, thawed to room temperature
1 ½ tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
6 slices Swiss cheese
1 cup sauerkraut
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
½ teaspoon black pepper
1/3 pound thinly sliced corned beef
extra Thousand Island dressing for dipping, if desired

Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Combine rolls into a ball and roll into a 9x13-inch rectangle. Spread dressing evenly over dough. Arrange cheese slices evenly over dressing. Sprinkle with sauerkraut, caraway seeds and pepper. Top with corned beef slices. Starting from a long side, roll up jelly-roll style. Using a serrated knife, cut into 8 slices. Place cut side up on a sprayed baking sheet (if they start to unroll, secure with toothpicks). Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise 30-45 minutes. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 20-25 minutes. Serve warm with extra dressing for dipping, if desired.

"Special Day"

Happy Birthday to My Mom...

Today is my Mom's Birthday...
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Dear Mom...
Happy Birthday to you...
"87" years ago today in Dover, England Olive Stock was born...
My Mom is amazing. She taught me and my sisters how to do so many things. She is a wonderful cook and she can knit like you wouldn't believe...unfortunately my sisters and I have not acquired this talent...not that she hasn't tried to teach us, but we just can't do it like she can!
Thanks Mom for taking such good care of Dad this last little while. Like Dad said "You are a Keeper"
I love you and hope you have a great day!
My Mom and I on the "Eye" in London...We are both afraid of heights so we stayed put on the bench...so Nancy and Sue walked around and took pictures for us. My Dad couldn't believe my Mom even went on it!

Happy Birthday to Molly...
Happy Birthday to Molly...
Megan had an "Ice Cream Sundae and Pizza Party" for Molly...the sun came out just long enough for the kids to eat on the deck. It was a fun party and Molly loved all of her presents. She gets so excited when she opens her presents. She screams...it is just the reaction I want! When I asked her what she wanted Grandma to buy her for her "Birthday" she told me..."I want a real phone, Grandma so that when I call you, you will really answer it"...Oh my gosh! do you know how close I came to buying a real phone for her? Then I thought I can't do that!...she is only 4!
So I had to settle on a Cinderella phone and hope that her mommy will let her call me whenever she wants on her cell phone! (Right Mommy).
Anyway we had a good trip and it was so fun to see my cute Brayden and Molly and hug and kiss them! I hate when I have to leave! They are growing up so fast...Molly is 4! I really can't believe it...wasn't it just yesterday that I flew up to Oregon for her Birth?
Molly is a "Spitfire" she has a great personality and she is such a good singer and dancer!
She always has her microphone in her hand...Look out American Idol here comes Mo...
I Love you Molly May...Call me anytime you want, and maybe one day I will get you a phone of your own!

Happy Birthday Carrie Ann WW...

Hope you have a great Day! Thanks for being my good friend and always listening to me!

Love you!
