A MEMORY MAKING WEEKEND....MEMORIAL DAY 2011

This year I thought it would be fun

to take each grandchild on their

birthday, (or close to it)

 for their own day with Bumma.

Briqelle turned 11 on May 16,

so this was her day.....

A little shopping, Pizza Factory lunch,

going to see the movie "soul surfer".....

It was a good day....

Shopping at Hallmark, where the decision was made

to purchase this guy....

It stays on your shoulder with a magnet.....

the trick to this is not losing the magnet.....

oops..... 

Briqelle also bought some clothes

even though shopping is not her favorite thing to do..

(mine either)

we didn't buy these shorts though....

 SHE MADE THEM!!

She is an amazing young lady...

Such a thoughtful, kind and

loving sister.... 

She helps out with all the kids.....

without her I would be exhausted!

Because of her

 I have the energy for the next adventure....

A game of freeze tag....

and Ron can't resist the fun.

I love how Jameson thinks he is just as big as the rest

of the kids. He may be small, but has more "go power"

than all the rest of them.

Breakfast at IHOP

Brecken knew it was the place

with all the different kinds of syrup...

And he named EACH one of them .

He is so adorable and funny...

For example:

His dad took him to look at toy haulers and asked

Brecken, which one do you like?

 Brecken replied,

 Well, I don't really know, I haven't seen toys in any of them yet.

Cali always has a smile, 

even though she has a battle wound on her cheek

from running into a brick post while playing  freeze tag

(And she ate EVERY bit of that breakfast!)

Briqelle can't believe the size of the omelet!

AND

pancakes came with it as well....

She quickly offered to share it with me...

The good news......

Bumma is old enough for the IHOP Senior Specials...

The bad news.......... 

BUMMA IS OLD ENOUGH FOR THE SENIOR SPECIALS!!

Avi dressed in one of her "everyday" outfits,

complete with leggings...

Her mom made the bow and the bracelet!

A georgeous diva in training....

Jameson is growing up so fast...

Those big blue eyes get him

ANYTHING

he wants.....

I just melt into those eyes! 

And when he says, "wuv you gumma"

I'm a goner...

Cali knows EVERYTHING about

 pink, polish, bows, dresses, and sparkle...

She's a G.I.R.L. 

 Briqelle was heard telling her several times........

Remember Cali, you are NOT to act like a diva.....

Quinn.......

Don't you just want to hug her? 

Such a little beauty....

A perfect baby

 mellow, quiet and squeezably sweet  

The weekend was over way too fast

and soon all that was left 

Were the tail lights.........

And yes, I'm going to say it....

READY???

I was NOT happy to see the tail lights.....

What?

 You  were expecting something else?
