SO I'M NOT PERFECT

In a perfect world, this

post about the grandkid's birthdays

(which were in August)

would have been posted before the debout of Khloe Lin.

You know, kind of in the order in which they happened....

BUT

because this is not a perfect world, and I am

so.not.perfect

this is what you get.

Briqelle has actually captured the essence of

"bumma"

PRECISELY.

she's

coo

coo

My Bumma, shes a crazy one!

Lets get started with the discombobulated, out of order,random ravings

of a crazy kook...

post.

Jameson, celebrating his 1st

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Look at it, it's a comin'

ohhh....choc o latte!!
First things first, checkin it out
playin' it oh so cool....
But as I said
IT'S CHOC O LATTE!!
and there is nothin' better
right?

So what do you mean,
IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT ME TODAY????


Ok, ok, I'm coming.
Who else is stealing "my"
Birthday show bash?

Princess Cali

in her finest
birthday attire...

"why yes, it is all about me....why do you ask?"

I love all 7 of you !
But this is the only one I could
capture for the picture!

SO I'M NOT PERFECT...PART 2

SOOOO NOT PERFECT

I somehow deleted this picture,

it should have been at the end of the last post, but in keeping with my

so.not.perfect.theme

I am posting it here. Truth of the matter is, I don't know how to

put it at the end of the post. Anybody want to enlighten me?

and since I am:

SO.NOT.PERFECT.....

not even in the running,

in fact,

below the

bottom

of

the

barrell...

I give you my final(but at the beginning)

picture.

are you as confused as I am??

"Nothin says "I love you" more than a

"hot" blankey for

a birthday present

in freakin' August!"
Yup, thats your

bumma....

PERFECT!

THE DEBOUT OF KHLOE LIN

ANNOUNCING

the scheduled debout of

Khloe Lin Grantham
gracing the world with her presence
on August 26, 2009 , and weighing in
at 6 lbs 12 oz

Khloe has lots of hair!

And was getting sick of the picture overload

She is welcomed to the family by her older sister and brother and a proud mama and papa.

(Is it fair that Lindsay looks this good only a couple of hours after giving birth? I know, we should hate her for it)

Bumma is pretty proud of #7

And I am getting all the pictures I can because she will grow so fast

and

soon will be like her big sister and brother

and say

ENOUGH ALREADY!

But for now, I'm all about as many picture as possible.

And this is only the beginning.

More to follow next month, but HOPEFULLY this time

I will have ALL 7 of my grandchildren together!!

WHOO HOO!

And they will all be getting lots of these.

BRECKEN AND BUMMA

Brecken and Bumma had a fun afternoon together.

First, Brecken decided he needed to have "gwasses" on.

There, I can see much better now.

Then he decided that Bumma needed to have "gwasses on" I love that he put them on me upside down!

We walked to the park and Brecken showed me how he can go down the slide all by himself.

He thought Bumma should swing from the bars like he could.
I hated to be the one to tell him that Bumma is too big to fit between the bars.
So, I just told him that the sign said "No Bumma's allowed on the slide"
He believed me...
For now.
We walked over to the temple grounds.
Brecken loved the flowers and wanted to pick them
REALLY
REALLY
REALLY
bad....

But he smelled them
and decided they were a bit
"tinky" so we moved on

Brecken loved the Christus
He told the missionaries

"He is BIG"He sat down and just stared at the statue for a long time.

Then he said

"He is talking to me Bumma"

Yes, Brecken, He is talking to you.

He is talking to all of us.

We just need to be still for a minute

And listen.

I loved spending time with Brecken today.

Thanks Rob and Brit for letting me watch him.

Next stop... BOISE, IDAHO

Where I will be watching Baby Khloe arrive

on August 26, 2009.

And experience for myself

The adventures of Dalan....(give me strength)

Seriously though,

I can't wait to see Macie, Dalan, and Khloe

And oh yeah.....I almost forgot

Dave and Lindsay aka "the drum."

BUMMA GETS A PET!!

These are my pets.

these are the
ONLY

pets I care to have.
And though they have no social skills,
and DON'T play well with others,
they ARE
Little to no maintenance.
Fun to play with watch.



Feeding costs are teny tiny
There is no whining or complaining
about being served the same meal
day after day,
after day, after day,
after day.
They eat, drink
and fly away...........


YUP.......like I said,

the best kind of pet
(for me)
