A day with Audrey!

Today I got to spend the day with Miss Audrey! Gratefully it was beautiful outside and so we were able to go to the park too!
Of course she made a friend, I love how kids just natuarally gravitate to each other...no judgements...just do you want to play?

 Let's play store!

Driving their imaginary car.

 She was climbing everything, hard to keep up with  her.

We really had a great time!

She loves to help me water my flowers and sometimes she tries to help me dead head them, but usually she picks the buds and says " that ones dead Nana", I have to just smile and say " well, it is now, why don't you just let Nana pick the dead flowers"

 Stopped at a friend's house who has the best toys ever! A ball pit in their living room. Audrey was in Heaven!

Trying on accessories at Target!

 But Nana, I need more bracelets! Had to remind her that we are just looking at all these neat things at Target!

We both needed a bandaide, so we got Frozen Bandaids ...she said it was the best! It sure made my owie feel better!

Plus, she got her hand stamped at the Post Office, just to prove we were there...I guess?

On the way back we got the car washed. Audrey had never been in a car wash before, think it scared her some!
When we got home, her Mom surprised her with an Elsa dress that she got at the Consignment shop. She loved it. Funny, because she was trying to get me to buy her one in Target.

She loves being a Princess! She wants to have a Frozen Party when she turns 3, in a couple of months!
It was a fun day, not very often do she and I get to go out together by ourselves. I should have taken photos of us together! Oh well..I will next time, when I get a day with Princess Audrey!

Saw this cute sign, not sure about super power... but I sure feel like a million bucks, when I get to spend time with any of my Grandkids!

Missing my boys!

Our son and his family live in Texas and that makes it very hard for (me ) Nana to spoil our grandson Kai! Here is a recent photo of him and his Dadday ( our son Bradley ) getting ready to go to church. Just didn't seem that long ago that I was getting Brad all dressed and ready with his sister Amy to go to church one Sunday! Brad was probably just a few months older than Kai is in this picture. 

   

I can hear Brad making fun of the way I dressed him back then. Ok, I put suspenders on him to keep his shirt tail from coming out, not because he needed his pants pulled up any higher ! :)  I also painted a sun on a wooden button and put it on his shirt with a pin, because he was moving up in church from the nursery to becoming a Sunbeam (that was his Primary class name ). You can tell money was tight back then, by the size of the hem in his pants. Just tried to get the most use out of them as I could and changing a hem longer every now and then was much better than trying to buy another pair of pants! I still think he looks adorable just like his son Kai!

I love Valentines Day and always have. I loved making Valentine gifts for our kids, Jeff and family and friends. Now I have just added another level of Valentine Recievers...my Grandkids!

Wanted to finish my Valentine Holder for Kai and get it in the mail! 

I also love mail...well at least sending it! Jeff said that the Post Office would always be in business because of me! So true!

Hope you are glad that it is February and that you will take the time to remind those around you, how much they mean to you!

  If I could I would make a sweet Valentine for each of you, to let you know how much I love and appreciate you in my life!
Good Night dear friends!
