baby girls

I have had my grand daughters since about nine pm last night.
They both were asleep by nine thirty and slept fitfully.

neither girl can just lay still, they both are all over the bed when they sleep so it makes it hard for me to sleep too.
I love them so very much but it is hard to sleep with them.

No plans for the day.
May go to the city to go out to eat.
nothing is certain yet.

Well happy Sunday one and all.

Waking up to Sunday morning

My baby girls stayed the night last night.
Keira was asleep before eight pm due to the fact that she didn’t have a nap yesterday.
She slept all night long only waking up once talking in her sleep and crying a bit.
I patted her leg, told her I was here and she quieted right back down to sleep.

Kayla was asleep by nine and woke up at twelve (midnight) crying out.
I found her pacifier and gave it back to her and patted her butt until she quieted down.
She woke again at three ten, to the same ritual.
She woke up at six crying and wanting fed.
So we have all three been up since six.
Which is alright since I slept till nine yesterday morning (after not going to bed until midnight)
Keira went with grandpa to work (his every weekend ritual of reading meters) and then I will take a bath once they get back home.

The funny thing is, Miss Kayla refuses to crawl forward.
She literally gets up on her hands and feet to move.
She won’t crawl forward.
She will crawl back wards and scoot herself around

she can lay down and get herself sat back up too, and she tries very hard to pull herself to standing up completely although she hasn’t done it for me yet because the couch is too high for her.

She was nine months old yesterday.
Hard to believe….but I bet she is walking by her birthday in November.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love being Nana?

weekends how I love them

last night the kids (minus Paula) came over and we played cards until almost midnight.
So much fun to play games with them and watch them interact with each other.
The boys tend to pick on their baby sister and she sometimes gets upset but I can tell she enjoys it too, being the baby.

Today we will have my two youngest grandchildren until tomorrow afternoon.

It is suppose to be very hot and humid today and tomorrow so I am not sure how much time we will spend outside.
I hate hot and humid weather.

Anyway no plans for when the children go home tomorrow afternoon but by then I am sure I will find something to do.
Love my baby girls so much, but the peace and quiet is good too.

Happy Weekend!

my Kayla

my baby girl is crawling backwards and sits herself up now.
So funny to watch.
She pulls herself to standing too but hasn’t crawled forward more then two or three knees forward at a time.
She looks at me like “I’m stuck, can you help?” and I always break down and go and pick her up.
She is wonderfully sweet and always in a good mood.
Love being her Nana.

Friday night with my babies

have my little grand daughters tonight and probably for most of tomorrow.
Parents are out partying.
To be young again.

We went to Iowa City for supper and went to Wal-Mart and came home so Keira could ride her bike for a while.
now it is nearly dark and hopefully both girls will be sleeping with in the hour.

Happy weekend everyone!

I forgot to mention…..

I don’t think I have mentioned recently the fun I have at being Nana

From taking the girls to the fair a week ago to boating last weekend….it is so wonderful to share these new things with my baby girls

here they were riding horses at the fair

this is of grandpa and two of my three girls

Mirielle (the back of her head) and Keira facing me

and my happy Kayla on the boat

Life just keeps getting better and better when it comes to being these three beautiful girls Nana.

change of heart…..

I use to say to people if I run away look for me in Montana.
But I think I have changed my mind.
If I run away and you want to find me look for me in Moeb Utah!!!

I got to see Keira and Kayla today!!!!

Turning 30

My nephew  Wayne (pictured here) is turning 30 tomorrow.
My daughter Paula (also pictured here) turned 30 in March.

I don’t know about my sister but I had a very hard time knowing my oldest child was turning 30
I don’t have a problem being 48 years old.
I have always felt one is only as young as they feel.
And most of the time I feel like I am right around 30 myself.
But to have my child turn 30, even four months later is painful for me.
Am I getting old or what?????

My girls

I so love being Nana to these girls
It is so wonderful and so incredible.
I love being a mother but being Nana to these girls is like a intense bright light that God shines down on me because He has granted me with the wonder of these three beautiful little girls.
Thank you Lord.
