About Me

My photo
I am a single Grandma of 5 kids and 7 grandkids. My home nest is in Queen Creek, Arizona where I have a beautiful view of the San Tan Mountains. After living my entire life in California my son gifted me with a beautiful 2 story nest almost 4 years ago. My days are spent in semi-retirement taking care of my 4 year old grandson, Caydon. My favorite times are when my entire family gets together!

June 2006

Is Mommy Bree holding Caydon up or is the rolling pin holding Caydon down? Caydon at 4 months making cheese cake. If we tried to re-stage this picture now Caydon would have crumby feet because his feet would be in the crumbs! This is the perfect example of why we should take lots of pictures as our children and grandchildren grow. Caydon at 3 is super tall and sports his Harry Potter glasses.

Okay Girls Who Remembers the Wedding of 1989?

LOL! How many of these did we have? Barbie and Ken are sylin'. The ring bearer has his pillow. The bouquet is in Mom's antique birthday party cup. If you look carefully the wedding party is drinking a toast to the Bride and Groom. Please will somebody tell me what is going on with the ring bearer and flower girl's hair? Jenna where are the scissors? A comment was made by an unnamed source that Jenna was a wedding event planner even back then. Aaaahhh, sweet memories!


More Blast to the Past Moments - Xmas 1989 in Moreno Valley

Who remembers this Christmas Mystery?


Okay children the mystery is now to be revealed.







The elfish culprits are to the left! Aunt Neen and her co-workers from Castle Escrow! Yes, it was the best kept "Christmas Elf" secret ever!





Peeking at the tree from above.
L to R: Audra - Jenna - Brianna - Sasha - Jeremy






The stockings were hung by the chimney with care and this is how you all looked when you saw what was there. (Yes, that's Patches in Jenna's arms. Remember the attack of the killer cat when Sasha would laugh during America's Funniest Home Videos?)
Hey Grandma Barbara check out your Betty!


Jeremy and his new friend. Notice how he is keeping a very close eye on that candy cane. We all still talk about the Christmas his candy cane was taken away. He wailed like the baby he was until the minute it was handed back he stopped as if it had never been gone.







Merry Christmas turtles to Jenna. Michaelangelo was her favorite at the time.






"Hello Dolly" for Audra.











Little miss dress up for little miss dress up Brianna.










And Mama's little Christmas Cookie Monsters.
