August to December

Sounds like a fall to winter romance. Well the following few posts should catch me up.

Our Families

My son JB, his wife Angela, and daughters, from left to right, Alanna, Amber, and Abigail. They were modeling the Bean University shirts I got them. If you compare the next picture, it is amazing how much JB and Bruce's son Derek resemble each other.

Bruce's son Derek and his wife Cathy. Their 3 daughters, Ariel, Emerald and Jaylyn and son DJ (Derek Jr.) Bruce's children have made me feel very much apart of their family.
Bruce's daughter Danyel, her daughter Paige and Danyel's fiance Chris.

Christmas at the Bean's. We went to the kid's early in the morning to see the girls open their gifts. Ali was really fun this year, she really got into tearing open gifts.
About a week before Christmas, Angela put Abby watching TV while she did a couple things upstairs. Well when she went to check on her she found every present that was under the tree opened. Abby preceeded to tell her mom that she knew it was wrong and she will never do it again. What can you do but SMILE!! :)
We went to Bruce's dads in the afternoon and then to his son's for the evening. Had a great day, weather was terrible, but we made the most of it.

Abby turns 3

December 16th - Abby had her birthday party at Jakes. It's a pizza place with games and rides. Lots of fun for the kids, lots of noise for the adults. The whole family by the Christmas tree

Creatively Crimson

My Red Hat group at Christmas time.

This is CJ

CJ was born to Bruce's daughter Danyel. He was born in October, 2 months early. He was only 2 pounds, 12 onces. Unfortunately we lost him in December, the parents and doctors decided it would be best to take him off life support. They believe he suffered a stroke inter-unterine. They said if he had survived without the respirator he probably wouldn't have made his 1st birthday.

Fall leaves

We had great fun in October playing in all the leaves.

The "are you nuts grandma" look

Abby makes some of the funniest faces. She sure is a joy. I am so blessed and thankful to have beautiful granddaughters to have fun with and spoil (just a little)

Swimming with the girls

The hotel mom and I stayed at had a pool so we had a great time with the girls. Abby finally decided she wouldn't go under water with her life vest on. Ali went all over in her turtle floaty.

A Visit from my Mom

Mom came to visit the end of September. She really enjoyed seeing JB's girls for the first time. Abby thought it was pretty cool to wear glasses just like great-grandma.

My Ring

Here are a couple pictures of my ring. I wanted something different and when we found this I fell in love with it.

Caught up

I hope you enjoy the following posts, I have caught up with our activities from this summer. Between spending time with the grandkids, going to the races, movies and on vacation we have had a very busy summer.

I am ENGAGED

Bruce proposed to me on August 18th. We had went fishing and I was presented with a ring box hanging from the end of a fishing pole. He did get down on one knee and ask me to marry him. I said yes. We have set a date for June 6, 2009.

Wildlife

A baby bunny that lives under my trailer, a squirrel having his breakfast on top the neighbors truck, and a cow moose we came across on the way to the lake.

Rockie's Game at Coors Field

Aug 11th - I went to my first Rockie's game. The mascot Dinger riding a motorcycle around the track to promote that nights promotion. The Rockies played the Chicago Cubs and beat them 15 -2. They split the series.
