Disneyworld Vacation!

...although sadly...not MY vacation. lol.

My daughter and her family just got home from

spending a week in Florida and while they were

there they went to Disneyworld.

This is the resort where they stayed for FREE

courtesy of some family members time share. It looks gorgeous!

My daughter and grandchildren up in the air!

I asked her why she didn't lean over the side and

wave and her reply was , "No thanks!"...ha!

{She is like her mother and does not like heights}

The Cinderella castle, son-in-law and

two grands.

Must be the castle needs some work? Just like my house! :)

Once again...daughter, granddaughter and grandson

in the spinning teacup. So cute!

My sweetie granddaughter Allysha growling at

the colonel.

While they were on a boat they took a picture of

this boat passing by. I told her she should have thrown

her camera to someone on the other boat so their picture

could be taken. They thought that would be fine IF they

were using MY camera. lol. I thought better of that

suggestion right away.

I have not seen all her pictures because they took over 600,

but I wanted to share a sample with you. I am so glad they

were able to go. They needed to get away and they had

a wonderful time even driving all the way from Michigan

down to Florida with three children in the car.

Happy weekend! I am dreaming of warmer weather...

Blessings~

Every once in awhile...

...I have to share new pictures of my grandkiddos with you.

Sweet Annika at 3 years old...almost 4.

Baby Ainsley looks like she is smiling.

I had a great time with her and Annika for a few

days this week. My son goes back to work next week

so I am back to the grindstone too. lol.

Isn't she just the cutest??

The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.

My oldest son's little ones. Keira is three years old and Kanaan is only nine months. He took several steps a few days ago. He is going to be moving fast real soon. No stopping him now! He is a little chunk and they call him *the monster*, but it is all done in fun because we love him to death!

My oldest son Jason with Kanaan. I forgot the whole family picture so I will have to share that another time. My son is so in love with his kids and you can tell it every time we are together. Thank God for loving and caring fathers!

{I have to say this too...one of the sweetest moments with Jason was right after he got married in 2003 and they were hugging us just after they pronounced them man and wife. He whispered in my ear , "I am married mom!" Such a sweet and precious moment.}

Beautiful baby Ainsley once again.

*Whatever they grow up to be , they are still

our children, and the one most important of all the

things we can give them is unconditional love.

Not a love that depends on anything at all except

that they are our children.*

I will leave you with one more quote:

One of life's greatest mysteries is how the

boy who wasn't good enough to marry your

daughter, can be the father of the smartest

grandchildren in the world!

Happy Weekend ahead and enjoy your families!

A snowy white Wednesday

Wednesday snuck up on me yet again this week.

I didn't even realize it until I was going through my

blogroll and saw Kathleen's post. Argh! I need to

get better organized here!

Isn't this candleholder amazing? The story for this

is that I found the top of it {the scrolly part} at the

Goodwill, but it didn't have the bottom part

with it and it was not priced so I did not bring it home.

I went to an antique mall a week or so later and found

the whole thing. I know it was the same one because

the *dirt* was on it exactly like it was when I saw

it at the Goodwill. lol.

I am trying to redo my decor after taking down all my Christmas, but it is going very slowly.

We were dumped on last night with fluffy white

snow so I stepped outside to take a few photos

just for you.

Snow...snow beautiful snow.

{when I don't have to drive in it}

I will be cuddling with my granddaughters again

today...I know... such a hard job , but someone

has to do it. :)

Happy WW everyone.

Be sure and check out Faded Charm for more!

Blessings~

Oops I did it again!

Now I suppose all your ladies are always so put

together and would make me look like a fashion

disaster, but I thought I had it all together today.

Really I did.

I put on my cute ruffled gray shirt...

...added a shorter black sweater with a small ruffle

at the neckline and a pretty gray and black scarf.

Got my make up all on this time...

combed my hair and plopped in my earrings.

I thought I was good to go.

{don't laugh...I have headed out twice lately and

one time forgot my mascara and the other time

my foundation! How in the world that happened

I will never know!}

Topped it off with this jacket... { I did have pants and shoes from Kohl's on as well...

don't want you to get the wrong idea here. lol.}

...and off I went to town.

Cashed in my change at the bank

{$105 worth...yay} and then stopped at the Goodwill.

Got everything done and came back home. I took out my

earrings because they were bugging me and lo and behold

I had TWO different earrings on. Oh my...I fear this is a sign of

things to come as I get older. At least they were

similiar, but different sizes.

So how is your day going?? Hugs~

Old books...do you actually read them?

I wanted to share a few of my new acquisitions with you

before I help watch Ainsley and Annika.

Her mommy starts back to college today and my son is

unemployed for a few weeks so I told him I would help.

Yay!! Don't have to ask me twice! :)

I found all these books at a little store that I frequent

often and they were still in the box at the counter.

People were digging through it and when it came my

turn it did not take me long to scoop up these oldies

with the beautiful covers....which got me to thinking...

do you actually read the old books you purchase or do

you just display them?

I think I would love to read them or at least some of

them if I could find the time.

Love this title: Fussbudget's Folks Now that title intriques me.

This book is titled *Among the Trees*...

so neat.

Happy, happy Monday to my bloggy friends. May

your day be blessed!
