Grandbaby Update

Savannah is 4 years old and going to a pre K program at her school and learning lots of new things. She stayed with us along with her little brother Rugby for almost 2 1/2 weeks while Alysha and Michael went to New Zealand. We loved having them. We put a TV and hooked up the DVD player so they could watch movies in "their" bedroom, rented lots of movies from the library. We made cookies, taught Savannah to eat cookie dough (she's my granddaughter) and loved her reaction when they were done and she got to eat one, she said We made these?...
Rugby turned 1 while we had him. He is such a happy boy, he was almost walking (he is now!). We had so much fun with them, we went to the park and he played while Savannah was on the tire swings. I was worn out at night but both Earl and I loved having them.
Liam is 4 years old and also attending a preschool. He wasn't sure at first if he wanted to go, but he loves it. He is Mr. Social and is very loving and such a good big brother to Ben. Liam got binoculars for his birthday and he loves them. He is also a really good swimmer, he jumped off the diving board all by himself and swam to the side all by himself this summer! He is so fun to listen to when I call or they call to talk,he talks really well on the phone.
Ben is about to turn 2 on the 24th of this month. He is a smiler! Every picture you see of Ben,he is smiling and he is a great hugger too. Don't get to see these boys enough. He called the other day and sang the ABC song to me, I loved it! He did a great job. Hearing his voice just brightens my day.
Carrie is 2 1/2. She is just like a tiny doll. She says the most amazing things and cracks us up. She is quite independent and likes to copy her mom. She loves watching movies and helping mom in the kitchen. She came and stayed with us for a week this summer and we just loved it. We got our nails painted and she got polka dots on hers. She also got to watch movies, alot! She watched Cinderalla until I thought sure she was going to turn into Cinderella. She is a happy little girl and so darn cute. She has this adorable little voice that I love! She loves cookie dough too!
Logan is 4 and very much all boy. He stacked a bunch of things so he could climb onto his roof (a flat roof thank goodness) and get his baseball. He loves sports, loves to hunt with his dad and is loving. He can't wait to play baseball and do everything that Coleton (his older brother) gets to do. He came and stayed a weekend with us along with Bella (his little sister) and he really loves his papa and they watched movies together. He colors really well.
Bella will be 1 in December and is a little miniature doll. She just smiles and is so cute and a good baby. She just started walking. Danielle has these incredible hair bows (which I love) and she will just pull them off when you put them on her. She adores Logan and he can make her giggle like crazy.
Shylah and Coleton are JJ's children from his first marriage and they are great. I don't get to see them or interact with them as much as the little ones. Shylah started high school, I think and Coleton is in 5th grade. He plays all the sports he can, goes hunting with his dad and is a good big brother to Logan.
Shylah has high goals for herself and is a good student. Becoming a teenager, she is spreading her wings and learning all about "groundings" and such.
All of our grandkids are smart, talented and beautiful kids and we are so blessed! They truly are the Light of my life!
A special note about baby Brigham, although we only had him in our lives for 20 days, we are so blessed to know we can have him eternally. That has been a great comfort to all his family especially his parents. We feel his sweet spirit in our lives and know he is close by.
