Meet My Grandchildren!

Meet Emily Grace - daughter of Jenni and Tim. Emily is almost 8 years old (birthday June 17). She is in 2nd grade and does very well in school. She loves to read and she also loves math. She writes great stories and is very imaginative and creative!

Emily is the oldest of my grandchildren and she has just grown up way too fast! She is a beautiful, loving little girl, but sometimes a little stubborn (I don't know where she gets that trait!).

Emily and her sister, Macey, are best friends and do most everything together. They both take gymnastics and they are doing a great job!

I love to spend time with Emily! She loves to swim, go shopping, go to movies and do all GIRL things!

This is Macey Alyce - or I call her Macey Mo, or just plain "Mo Mo." Macey was 6 years old on January 5. She is the youngest daughter of Jenni and Tim.

My little Mo Mo is in kindergarten this year and is doing very well! She is learning to read and loves to play school with Emily. She writes and draws and likes to play with her American girl dolls. She is all girl - loves to wear dresses and loves her long beautiful hair! She is in the midst of losing her teeth and is currently missing one of the top ones.

Macey was recently in JoeJoe's and Megan's wedding and was one of the three cutest flower girls! After the wedding, she danced the night away with Stacy, her uncle Bob's niece. Just like all the others, Macey is adorable and I love to spend time with her.

This is Clayton D. - break dancing! Clayton belongs to Erica and Joel. He is now 6 years old and his birthday is March 5. He recently was a very handsome little ring bearer for my nephew, Joey's wedding and he looked so grown up and did a great job. Then, he danced the night away at the reception.

Clayton is in kindergarten and is doing very well. He likes to write stories and illustrate them. They are very creative and fun to read! He is full of life, but very sensitive. He has had lots of practice being a great big brother and he is excited to do it again when Elliot gets here! His true loves are dinosaurs and anything or anyone related to Star Wars! May the force be with you, young Jeti! You are precious!

Oliver John - February 2.

Oliver is three-years-old, little brother to Clayton and soon to be big brother to Elliot! Even with a dirty face, he is adorable! He is a mommy's boy, but is getting a little better about giving me great big hugs.

Not long ago, we took him out to eat wearing a Chewbacca costume with a spider glove on one hand. He was very serious about the whole thing! He is definitely all boy - snips and snails and puppy dog tails! Loves to be outside playing in the sand! Has achieved the potty-training task and is now sleeping in a big-boy bed! He is just growing up too fast and I'm sure he will seem a lot bigger when the new baby brother gets here.

This is Olivia, the youngest (at least for now). Her mom is Erin and her dad is Scott. She will be three on April 5. She has her mom's personality - happy-go-lucky with a contagious laugh. She brings joy to all our lives!

We are very proud of her because she is now potty-trained! What an accomplishment! Babyhood is left behind and it seems to be big girl all the way now! I can't wait to spend more time with her this summer.

She is all girl - bows, jewelry, curls and all!

OK - I guess I have to blog, too!

Erica and Jenni have done such a wonderful job with blogging, so I feel like I need to do something to keep up! I'm thinking this is a great way to keep up with pictures and feelings and I really want to have a forum to share with my grandkids! I am so, so blessed with such a wonderful family and sometimes it is just difficult to express my feelings. Maybe this will be a great method! Let's see if I can find the time to keep up!
