girls in the kitchen

i love the granddaughters in my kitchen. the fridge magnets are Leap Frog...one newer one older...playing abc's when pushed....everyone likes them! i enjoy the girls playing here, and getting along. learning is fun!

sunshine, pumpkins and grandchildren.....

looking forward to some wonderful pics of the kids! heading to the pumpkin farm today, hmmm wonder what we will see! ghost and gobblins for sure! and the costumn choices are crazy! mommy also said something about "Mummy Dogs" for lunch! YUM

the children are growing up so much, and becoming their own little personalities. Which reminds us that each and every child is different and unique in their own special way. :) we love seeing what unfolds from their little bodies and minds. The tender heart that yearns for lessons and caring and Love....always wanting more....

stuffed peppers and such....

i have picked most of the full grown peppers i had growing on the deck rail. they made one yummy meal that hubby loves! next year, more purple peppers pls! they are just slightly sweeter the the green, and specially to my likings :)
Sandy is the 2 year old, and Arietta(aka:curlylocks) is the 3 yr old that i took care of when daddy was in school for becoming a CNA. this is my husbands nephew's baby and older sister. they are sweeties and fun to play with! they all grow so fast, we must cherish when "sweetness" in the baby years <3

SpongeBob cake

i think i did good for the first time i made this cake....i haven't had alot of practice this past year, but this is the start of my families birthday season. Anthony turned 6 and the party was yesterday. the kids had a blast, the adults enjoyed watching the kids have fun! the candy poured down from the ceiling, from balloons filled and hung (ty mama Pam) from the ceiling. with aldults armed with sticks with pins attached!!!!! the party bags started out empty, but with minutes candy was being stuffed into them.
but most of all, what makes my heart swell with pride, was the birthday boy loving his cake!
love you Anthony!
hugs from Oma
