George!

I use to wonder how George would be with kids.  If you know George he is pretty unsocial unless he really knows and loves you.  I have been pretty impressed by George when one of my nephews is over--he does so much better than I ever imagined.  What do you think?

A Good Weekend

If one of my nephews is involved, it will always be a good weekend!  This past weekend I was lucky enough to watch my nephew Colton.  We had so much fun playing!  He is growing up so fast it is just amazing.  He laughs and laughs and is just so darn cute!  I love when I get the opportunity to hang out with Colton and I must say I think he likes me too :)

He is such a doll!

Playing with his toys!

Loves the butterfly that plays a bunch of music!

Look at those gorgeous brown eyes!

Such a cute, cute, cute boy!

Just a playing!

I love this picture of him playing with his paci!

I'm so glad his Mommy and Daddy let him come visit his Aunt Lorey from time to time!  He is a perfect little angel! 

Rainbow

I haven't seen a rainbow in a good while and yesterday we not only saw one perfect rainbow but also a double rainbow.  The second rainbow was a little less crystal-clear but it was gorgeous!  Like always, my pictures don't do any justice to the scene but I thought I would share!  We took in the sight since it is a pretty rare thing!  I love rainbows...they instantly relax me (I think God knew that is exactly what I needed yesterday..and today...and probably tomorrow)!

Happy Birthday Granny!

Earlier this week was my Granny’s birthday! Some of the family, but not all, was able to meet at the Hyatt for dinner. I love my grandparent’s to pieces. They have done so much for me through the years and are just the best people you could ever meet. THEY ARE THE ABOSLUTE BEST AND MEAN THE WORLD TO ME. Since it is Granny’s special day, here are some things (but not all since the list would be 1,000s of lines) that my grandma has done for me over the years that I have very fond memories of:

1) brought me 7-11 nachos (my favorite growing up) at least once a week when I called and told her Dad was cooking something I didn’t like for dinner;

2) was basically my tutor all through grade school and college (I learned all my great study habits and basically everything I know because of her);

3) always took me swimming at Lake Thunderbird growing up and then we would have a picnic at the park;

4) always let me make a pallet by the side of her bed because I didn’t want to be too far away from them when I stay with them;

5) from time to time surprises me with a little something and always makes me feel special;

6) spends holidays with me when my parents are out of town;

7) we have had many, many conversations about the soap operas (All My Children and One Life to Live) that she got me hooked on since Junior High;

8) has sewed many buttons for me and altered many clothing items for me. She has shown me numerous times how to sew on a button but for some reason I just can’t figure it out (wink!, wink!);

9) has been my role model all my life due to her lifetime achievements and just being a top-notch individual; and

10) is always there for me and supports me no matter what.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANNY! You’re the best and I look forward to many, many more years to build memories together! I love you!

Last night we went to the fireworks show in our local town and boy did they do a great job!  Every year they do wonderful...better than any of the other surrounding towns!  Hope everyone has a great 4th of July today!

Papa and Granny

While Mom and Dad were over for the weekend we had Papa and Granny come over to enjoy supper Saturday night.  We all had a great time visiting!  I didn't get any pictures besides a couple of pictures of Papa and Granny before they left to head home!

I know I said it a million times but I had such a wonderful weekend with my nephews!  I wish every weekend was as good as this past weekend!  They are growing up so very fast, it is just amazing!  My next post won't be a baby post since I probably won't be seeing any babies in the next few days but I promise I will be back to my old self and post one boring, random post soon (it won't even compare to these baby pictures because they are the two cutest boys on the planet)!!
