Look what I found on my Patio

I found this cute little guy on my patio. But he wouldn't pose for me . I wanted a picture of him praying or one of his face. It was getting dark and he didn't like the flashing.

A praying mantis is a harmless little bug and a favorite of many. His favorite food is harmful bugs making him a gardeners friend.

Trip to see Ben and Christine

We just got home from visiting Benny and family. Our 10th grandbaby was blessed. Her name is Lexie Paige Taylor. What a sweet little baby. We had so much fun just spoiling the kids. Logan caught on real quick and wanted grandma to side with him. But I always told him he had to do what his mom and dad wanted him to do.

Watch out Lily grandpa has found another little girl to hold and love.

We had such a good time. It was sad to leave because those two little grandkids will be changed next time we see them.

Bobbin Lace LUCKY MOUSE Book Marks

I made some bookmarks for my grandkids for their scriptures. Handmade by grandma. I had fun making them in all different colors.

It was fun to see who would pick what color. I was wrong on all of them. Here's a close up of a blue and white mouse.

Do you know what a bunch of mice are called? I didn't until I looked it up on the internet.

Either a horde or a mischief of mice.

They were easy and fun to make. Only about 7-9 hours from start to finish. I hope my grandkids remember that grandma made them speciality for them.

Creative kids at Grandma's

One day when the grandkids were here and bored. They wanted me to take them to toy r us and buy them something, I didn't want to.

So, I cut some branches off a tree ( I had been wanting to anyway). Went to Home Depot and bought some rolls of bright colored masking tape. Let them do just what they wanted to. This is what they came up with. They had hours of fun and it was cheap.

Last week, Poppy said she didn't want me to buy her any new school clothes. She wanted to go to Home Depot and get some nails, wheels, and wood instead. So off we went to Home Depot. This is what she came up with this time. I still have some wood left for the next visit.

I just love this little girl and her special personality. Weapons are her speciality.

Just ask Poppy about her battle scars she got making it.

SEAWORLD 2011

I went to Seaworld with Melissa and Kids last Thursday.
Seaworld has changed since I was last there. Lots of rides and carnvil stuff and not many fish displays. They still do have some shows, which we went too. The mania ray tank is being replaced for a ride, why.

You cantell the kids they will never win anything from Carnvil games. But, that is what they want to spent their $5 on anyway. @#$%&#$%^ oh well. Then Willow wins this fish her first try. Now we have to carry it all over with us. It is too big for them to carry, so mom carrys it. It was a good thing we were in Melissa's van or we may had to leave a kid behind in order to get the fish home. Grandma fish-sets (this big blue fish) while everyone else goes on rides. It wasn't so bad as I got to rest in the shade. Now isn't that a good looking fish. See how big the thing is.

Lily Catherine Stingy Snow White, and her last name is Princess. Now isn't that a mouth full for such a pretty little princess.

We had fun but was tired when we got home.

PREVIEW OF OUR TRIP TO UTAH

We just got home from Utah. We stopped at Dennis's brother Tim on the way up. Attended the Shakespear Festival with them. We saw Midsummer Night. I really enjoyed it.


Stopped at my brother house and meet his oldest grand daughter. What a cute young lady.


Then to Our Tim's house where we met up with Catherine and Greg.


Up to my sister home in Bountiful and spent a night there. Tim and Aleca and family came too. Camille's family joined us for pizza that evening.


Then to the Snow's for a couple of days.


We had lots and lots of fun. Uncle Greg holding his own.

Our trip to Utah.

The little people we went to see. Tim and family have moved to Utah. They have their new home ready for visitors, now. I think we were the first ones to visit. Catherine and Greg came over from Colorado also. Have your ever wanted to feel like a Hamster in a bubble. Here is Rugs and Zoey just hanging out in their bubble.

We went to a neat place with just tampolines covering the whole floor. Em was the only one trying to do a flip.

Draper Days was fun too.

Breckyn just resting in her bubble.

We had so much fun visiting, going out to eat and played games one night. Thanks for letting us come and visit you.
